Day 2: 20 Favorite Things

"Raindrops on roses, and whiskers on kittens... brown paper packages, tied up with strings... these are a few of my favorite things!" NOT! It just popped when I typed favorite things. So really, what are my twenty top favorite things in this life? Am I really that detached that I can't think of any pretty quick? LOL!

1. Twix, tops my list. This never fails to make me smile. The husband surprises me with them once in awhile. Cheers me up after a long day! I don't know if I'd feel the same way if it's from someone else. Hmm...
2. Naturalizer Red Maryjanes. I got this pair from Cebu a couple years ago. I've been using it a lot! It's soft and very comfortable. And of course, it's red ;-)
3. Chewing gums. I'm addicted to it. I can't not have any in my purse. There was a time when my husband banned me from buying them. 
4. Pedicures. Yes, I love to treat my feet! It will be a guilty pleasure. I don't do it often these days because it's not practical.
5. TV online. Catching up on TV shows online is a bliss! My own time. It's either my personal time or my time with the husband. We have been hooked with Korean TV series lately.
6. Pearl studs. I love them! If only I can wear them frequently. The babies just love to play with them. I'm scared they may hurt my ears, or I might lose it without even knowing. And it's ultra special because its from my superfriends back in college!
7. Empire cut. I only have a few dresses in my closet, proudly so. Most of them are in this cut. Pardon my being boring, but I am not very playful nor adventurous with clothes. Also, I don't want to spend. Full stop.
8. Acuvue Oasys. These contact lenses for my myopia and astigmatism are awesome! If you are lucky with a 20/20, then you will never know why... back then, I'd get double vision and glares when I use ordinary lenses with my astigmatism. It also stays moist despite the very dry weather here.
9. Instant coffee. I am lazy to brew nor grind fresh coffee beans! Starbucks instant singles are pretty neat. Gives a nice kick without the hassle. Microwave a cup of water, pour instant coffee, add creamer... voila!
10. My phones. Both mobile and home phone are very substantial in this life along with its apps and various functions... need I say more?
11. Cake. I want my cake and I want to eat it too! This goes to all pastries and sweets... my meal is not complete without it. 
12. Spaghetti. Lately, I have been craving for that rich and savory tomato sauce! I've always been a fan. It used to be just for special occasions... but now, it is a staple in my pantry.
13. My bottles. The husband insists that I include the products in the bathroom in my top 20 favorite things. He keeps complaining that I have lots of them. Three to four bottles of shampoo, two conditioners, body scrub, facial wash, and body oil. This is actually nothing compared to how I used to live before becoming a Mrs.! I had a dandruff shampoo, conditioner, clarifying shampoo, another shampoo, body wash, facial wash, feminine wash, body scrub, etc! One time because I was in a hurry to go to class, I washed my face with Head and Shoulders (Menthol)! Oh dear, that taught me a lesson!
14. Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm. I am using Red Dahlia. Just a tint, perfect tint. Leaves my lips chap free. I haven't had lipstick in a long time. Somehow, I am not comfortable looking at my lips in a different shade other than its natural pink-ness. 
15. Nutella. Let's go back to food! Oh I love this hazelnut spread... on my bread, banana, crepes, crackers, etc. I have yet to try making fried dumplings with it. I have seen on Everyday Italian (Giada L.), she filled wanton wrappers with hazelnut, fried it, then sprinkled with confectioner's sugar. Since this household became peanut free, I have Nutella in my pantry in lieu of peanut butter (which I oh so love!).
16. Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue. I have been hooked to this scent since 2003. It makes me feel pretty, walay magbuot! Back then, it used to be Gap Dream... well I still love it until now, but I don't have any with me. 
17. Tank tops, PJs, yoga pants, sweat pants, tees, and pretty funky socks. I love them! Mostly gifts from my fairies... 
18. Scented candles. If I will have it my way, I would light a candle daily. I have scented candles from almost five years ago. LOL! I light them when I cook fish, dried fish, and other related stinky dishes. The best so far for the kitchen is the Bath and Body Mango Pineapple! According to my husband, it has an appetizing scent! Hahaha!
19. My kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. My favorite places in this house. I wish I can use my tub every so often. It has now been conquered by the boys! It has bath toys and etc! My rule: No toys in the kitchen! This will have to extend to my bedroom as well. Just so, I want my own space!
20. And the last but perhaps not the least favorite is --- green mangoes! And now we're back to food again hahaha! I want my mangoes sour. Note that as I type, I am salivating! Gosh! I want them sliced into thin small pieces covered with sugar and salt! OH MY GOOSE! WAAAH! Kalami!
