My Favorite Things

Just when I thought there's nothing more sensible to write about, an idea suddenly sparked in my head while I was having a bath.  Here are my faves listed in no particular order:

1.  Books--- I have an insatiable thirst for knowledge and entertainment, books provide me that need.  At the moment, I'm reading My Life in France (Julia Child's memoir), which really takes awhile to finish.  It's more than a month since I bought the book and I'm only half way thru it.  I take very good care of my books, I have them in plastic containers and I don't lend them to anyone.  

2.  Pictures-- I just love having my picture taken.  It's a memory that will forever remain constant, given of course the proper care and preservation.  It's never subject to any wear and tear whatsoever.   
3.  Shoes-- Comfort and style, those are my standards whenever I buy one.  Gold is my favorite to collect now after pink.  I hate rubber shoes, it's only in PE class that I was obligated to wear one.  

4.  Clothes-- I love wearing dressy tops and colorful shirts.  I'm never a shabby dresser.  Your choice says a lot about you.

5.  Amulets-- I can not leave the house without them.  I am both religious and spiritual.  It's jade piyao and a mini rosary in my pocket plus the charm worn on my ankle.

6.  Nail polish-- Painting my nails relaxes me and it also shows my artistic side.  I make it a point to match it with my outfit.  I prefer those containing keratin to avoid nail discoloration.

7.  Body wash-- Pampering myself is always a must.  But I don't like those with artificial fragrance, it makes my skin breakout.  Body wash should be organic and infused with vitamins.  I love those with exfoliators.

8.  Vanilla-- My all-time fave scent.  I have it in my cologne, shampoo, body wash, room spray.  I love vanilla shake too!

9.  Pink-- A color I've never outgrown.  As a child, I was already exposed to it  but now I consciously want it.  I have my preferred shades though.  But I suppose the perfect one is the right combination of red and white with a little splash of orange.  There's a growing number of pink shades, let me name a few.  There's  candy pink, coral pink, hot pink, fuschia pink, bubblegum pink, baby pink, powder pink among others.  It's mineral pink that I like at the moment.

10.  Angels--- They emanate a sense of faith.  While butterflies hope and clowns love.  My last angel though was like two years ago.  I'm no longer compulsively collecting.  I have over a hundred and  I'm very much particular in choosing my angels.  Eyes, nose, and lips should look good.  Otherwise, I don't buy them.

11.  Dolphins-- They are nature's gift to man.  Next to whales, they are the second most intelligent mammals.  It's a joy watching them frolic in the waters.  Free-spirited creatures of the bountiful sea, they are indeed special.

12.  Strawberry Shortcake-- She's my favorite character since time immemorial while she has evolved  into so many looks.  I've got Strawberry Shortcake books, comics, dolls, action figure, wallet, bags, picture frame, a 45 record, and  an 11 minute dvd.  I'm not pleased though when kids after seeing her in my room, start asking their mom to buy them Strawberry Shortcake items.     

Well those are just some of my faves, randomly thought about. But let me add--- I can not forget, of course, the Web, last but definitely not the least, as my favorite.  It brought a lot of opportunity and inspiration.  I  am in awe, literally at a loss for words.  Without it, I won't be blogging.  Truly, there is always something new to explore, all it takes is just a little patience.
