V is for Verbose

by

V

Kaiskee tagged me to write 10 things I love that start with the letter “V.” It took me days to come up with this list. It was very very hard.

1. VERONIKA Decides to Die. This is one of my favorite books. It’s being turned into a movie too. I hope the movie makers do this beautiful story justice!

2. VIENNA sausage. I don’t eat it anymore, but if it’s laid out before me I wouldn’t mind taking a piece or two.

3. VEGETABLES. I don’t think my folks ever had a problem with me eating veggies.

4. VERANDA. Hanging out at my parents’ veranda is one of the most relaxing things ever.

5. VIA air mail. I love getting snail mail! It doesn’t happen much anymore though.

6. VAMPIRES, Twilight-style. My favorite Twilight vampies are Alice Cullen and Tanya.

7. VOICE. Whether spoken, written, sung, painted, danced, cooked, we all have a voice. We just make ourselves heard through different ways. So listen to others closely.

8. V.I.P. I admit I like getting special treatment!

9. VACATION. Need I say more?

10. VAN Gogh’s art. My favorites: Blossoming Almond Tree. Starry Night. Sunflowers. Irises. Poppies. Wheatfield under a Cloudy Sky. Woods and Undergrowth. The Cafe Terrace. Starry Night Over the Rhone.

And this entry was brought to you by the letter V.

I want to tag you! Let me know if you’re interested. I’ll give you a letter, and you write down 10 things you love that start with that letter. :)

    I miss the snail mails. I used to have penfriends during high school. You love veggies! I had to learn eating some only in college. Because of my friends. Oh vampies! You know me, I’m a vampire, too!

    I had sooo many penfriends in high school too! From around the world. I still keep in touch with two of them via e-mail na. :)
