A Few of My Favorite Memories

Thanks to the little American girl who like me was having pancakes at Mc Donald's this morning. She was humming the tune of "My Favorite Things" from the classic movie Sound of Music. She inspired me to draw up my own list of favorites. However, instead of favorite things, I decided to go for favorite memories just to give it a twist. The song enumerated things that were simple so I stuck with that theme. I took out my handy-dandy pen and notebook and began to jot down whatever came to mind. They must be my favorites if they were easily retrievable from my memory bank.

This list contains a few of my favorite memories of events or experiences categorized as simple:

1. seeing the genuine and pristine expression of joy and excitement as my siblings opened their gifts during New Year's eve

2. experiencing snow for the first time

3. being serenaded by a stranger in the streets of New York

4. discovering that my college professor had a crush on me

5. gag moments with my friend Rina

6. unexpectedly receiving a glass of milk from my brother Sir Dan whenever I didn't feel well

7. listening to the folklore stories my grandmother used to tell me before I went to sleep

8. receiving surprise gifts from my mommy on ordinary days

9. grand opening of Lamano's bakery

10. using treadmill for the first time

I will definitely look back to this list just in case the dog bites, the bee stings, or I feel sad. I'll simply remember my favorite things and maybe, I won't feel so bad . . . 

THE END  :-)
