Hello. These are musings of a juvenile thinker.

1.11.2010

why i love what i love

i love GOD because He is mine and i am truly His.
i love my mom because she makes me coffee every morning and says random beautiful things like "It's not so bad, we still got ice cream in the fridge." Or, "You're eyes look browner today."
i love my sister because i don't have a choice (haha); because we decided (ages ago) that "Stand by me" would be our theme song.
i love my little brother Daniel because he has the sweetest sounding laugh in the whole entire world and i miss him.
i love Sonny because he smiles a special smile for me.
i love my job (teaching) because i can get people to sit down and listen to me yammering; also because i can say stuff like "No sex before marriage," and "Kindly shut up."
i love my Mac because it allows me to blog anywhere i please without paying for it. Well, you gotta at least get a sandwich or something. You freeloader. Today it's Tuna sandwich at Gazebo :)
i love the little room me and my mom live in because you don't have to walk very far to get to the Tv or the dining table. You wake up and, BAM! You're in the bedroom, the living room and the kitchen!
i love the little dent i made on my car after trying to back out of a street one night. The enormous truck behind me was unscathed. and the nice gentleman let me off without a hitch. i might not get the dent fixed after all; we've agreed it adds a little character. It developed some more character since that night too, while i was pulling out of the driveway.
i love being me because i never have to try to look or act or sound like anybody else.
i love my Spring Valley/Valley Forge/Pennsylvania friends because they love me.
i love ballet flats because, as opposed to walking in heels, you can run and outrun people in the case of a zombie apocalypse.
i love being mistaken for the younger sister because it really helps my self esteem. i'm not even gonna lie about that. haha.
i love writing because it allows me the privilege of making myself seem more interesting than i actually am. plus, i'm a good writer.
i love singing because it's a way for me to enjoy music and be a part of it, somehow. plus, i'm a good singer.
i love window-shopping because it reinforces my belief in fashion--the clothes don't make you. An expensive, fashionable top will not help your character in any way. 120k for a handbag still sounds outrageous. You can send a kid to school for a whole year with P20 in some areas of the Philippines. They're not hard to find.
i love looking to the future because i have no fear of it.
i love dinner dates because we get milk and chocolate cake afterwards--which feels like being 12 again.
i love cheese because of its delightful taste and texture. Mmmmm. Cheeeeeessseeeee.
i love hoodies because it give me the "swagger of a college kid."
i love gloomy weather because it reminds me of winter.
i love taking the subway in new york because it's exciting. don't judge me.
i love thinking about my wedding day because i'm 26 and it's time ;)

but for now, let's just soundtrack Tuesday!

  1. i love how you come up with things like this, even on days when you don't know what to write about. and your eyes have always had that beautiful brown... my favorite is when they're really brown after our dinner dates, right at milk and chocolate cake ;)
