Seven Favorite Things

What do you know, onyxx gave me reason to post by giving me this Kreativ Blogger Award. I wasn’t expecting it really. It was such a surprise I almost fainted when I learned about it.

With the trophy (the image above) comes a task: to write seven favorite things I like and to pass it on to seven others. I wondered if I should say love, care, peace, but those were expected (and mushy). I thought of making a list of what I like to have, but those would be my desires. So I guess I’d stick to the seven day-to-day things that I like doing most. After all, these little everyday things are what we do most our lives. Can you guess what these seven activities are?

I like…

…watching. I enjoy TV series such as House and 24 and animation such as Star Wars: Clone Wars and Naruto, though I cannot watch them an episode at a time. I just can’t handle the suspense hehe. This and the coming months, there are many good films I’ve watched (last were Star Trek and Wolverine) and will sure to watch. A treat indeed.

…reading. There’s just something about being sucked in a world so unlike yet so similar as mine. I get to be warriors and knights, and wizards and dragons, even with my Lestat (Ann Rice’s hero/antihero). Where did you think I got my name here?

…listening to music. And watching concerts. Music is like poetry to me, only I can understand the lyrics hehe. Seriously, it really has the power to make me very happy or sad. The words become mine, and the music becomes my emotion.

…knowing the news. My day starts and ends with news (sometimes reading). I want to keep myself informed, especially of the state of our government and the plight of our countrymen. We just have to care with what’s happening, then maybe we can do something.

…eating. Eating makes me happy, and I eat more than most women and some men I know hehe. I cannot live without rice, and oftentimes, one cup a meal is not enough. I can eat a good burger (Brothers Burger) in Westgate in Alabang, isaw in UP Diliman, or home-cooked meal at home, anywhere as long as my stomach is full with delicious food. I like cheese and cheese-flavored food the most.

…playing. I used to be an athlete in elementary and high school, so I enjoy every chance (which is not much) I get to play basketball or to just run around with kids. I find getting sweat from sports or simply running fun. But if you name running as exercising, it’s not that happy anymore. hehe. It sounds work. Oh, and I also like playing video games.

…driving. I enjoy the adrenaline rush and/or the relaxing effect on me.

Here are seven more things about me. So what’s your seven favorite things? Go on. Do the tag. By the way, did you get all seven?
