100 Things I love: 97 to 95
97 Dogs
Ever since I was small, I’ve always been a dog person. I don’t hate cats, I also like them but I love dogs more. Dogs have the capacity to love unconditionally and it’s great when you feel their affection towards you. I don’t know about cats though, they might show a different kind of affection towards their owners. They have always struck me as more aloof somehow, much opposed to dogs who always like to play, goof around and give your face a slobber from time to time.
Did you know that dogs are the domesticated subspecies of the gray wolf or the timber wolf? The first domestic dog probably was from China. There have been early fossil finds to support this theory. There are about 800 dog breeds recognized by kennel clubs worldwide.
96 Tigers
Now this is one wild animal that I’d like to have. Hahaha I know I can’t! Like the love I have for dogs, I have also a deep fascination and affection for this big cat. I have a lot of tiger stuff in my possession. I share a bed with a huge tiger stuff toy, I also have a tiger stripe patterned bag, cellphone holders, trinkets…I try to get as much as I can.
I’ve even had a blog post on tiger cubs on my Vox blog. You can read it here.
95 Books
I’ve always loved getting lost in the world of fiction fabricated by authors with very wild imaginations. I used to read romance novels a lot but as I grew older and learned to experience love for myself, I didn’t want to wonder why my love life wasn’t going exactly as described in those books. Now I’m more into fantasy, historical and mystery novels. They’re much safer. Hahahaha
I love the way a new book smells and I consider it heaven going into a bookshop. (yeah, i’m a bookworm) I always cover my new books first with a plastic cover and I always take care of them. I don’t want them getting dog-eared or getting creases at the spine. That’s why I’m very particular to these details when I let someone borrow one.
I like to curl up on rainy days with a very good book and a nice cup of coffee. When I’m in that mood, I feel very relaxed and blissful.
