It’s been raining non-stop for over a week now. I love this
kind of weather but as the Spice Girls’ song goes “ too much of something is
bad enough…”. If it were just up to me I would like it to rain every single
day. Rainy days are what I live for! I look forward to bed weather, I want to
just curl up in bed all day. Or go the cinematic way by sitting by the window
watching the heavy downpour outside while sipping a cup of hot chocolate with
mallows on top. I’m that kind of girl. Not romantic, but a girl who loves lazy
days.
But I can never be selfish. I know heavy rains will have
siblings in tow. There’s flooding, heavy traffic jam, damaged livelihoods,
suspensions of classes and many more. They’re a big family actually. A big
family that causes chaos most of the time. I don’t blame the rain though, rain’s
intentions are good, but it’s her siblings are the problem.
Because of this weather, I thought about my favourite movie
growing up: The Sound of Music. The kids in the movie are scared of the storm,
so Maria sang a song that would make them feel better. And that song is the inspiration
for this blog entry. And here’s a list of my favourite things:
A warm glass of milk. I’m really my mom’s daughter as she
loves milk as much as I do.
Chocolates, any kind except for dark. I can’t stand the
bitter taste of it.
The smell of books, doesn’t matter whether old or new. The smell
is just so hypnotizing for me.
The smell of freshly cut grasses. It brings back a lot of
memories from when I was still a kid growing up in the province.
The ocean breeze.
Letters. I’m quite old-fashioned, I love the feeling of
actually opening a mail. And I think it’s more personal than those e-mails or
Facebook messages that I’ve been receiving.
A piano, it reminds me of my grandma. She was a great piano
player and mentor. She taught me how to play the piano at a young age.
Fluffy pillows. I admit I’m a bit OC, I prefer my pillows fluffed
before and after I go to bed.
Pajamas! The best type of clothing ever made in my opinion. They’re
very comfortable that you want to sleep in them. Pun intended.
Any blue-colored flower. Why blue you ask? It’s because I think
red, white, pink, orange and yellow flowers are so common. You see them almost
everywhere, but you rarely see blue flowers.
These are just the things that I can think of on top of my
head. Again, I’ll pretend that I got readers on this blog and I will ask you to
share your favourite things with me too.
