My Favorite Things

June 26, 2008

I’m not really in the mood to compose anything elaborate, coz, bloody hell, that can be sooo tedious, and I’m trying to let some topics (nothing overly serious, though) marinate for a while.

Instead, I’m gonna state a few of my favorite things. And why is that important? A) So you can know my tastes on various things. B) So you can see what I’m interested at. And C) so you can know where I’m coming from whenever I praise or criticize.

So without further delay, my favorite…
