(With apologies to Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammerstein II and The Sound of Music.)

A weekend spent in bed without interruption
Well-written fan fiction that feeds my addiction
Dramas that leave me with only nice feelings
These are a few of my favorite things

Tokyo, Taipei, London and Barcelona
Travel, airplanes, iPod and my camera
My dreams that make me keep on writing
These are a few of my favorite things

Arashi being dorks in Shukudaikun
It doesn’t matter what they do on my television
Watching them laugh, dance, act and sing
These are a few of my favorite things

CNBlue and their addictive pop rock music
Yonghwa and his guitar onstage as he struts it
Makes me get up on my feet so I could sing
These are a few of my favorite things

Wu Wu, Yuan Zai and all other pandas
Blue skies, teddy bears, summers and jazz
Chocolates and tea, the joy that they bring
These are a few of my favorite things

When real life bites, when the love hurts
When I’m feeling sad
I only remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad
