thank you for the music ...

Yesterday, I had a bit of a revelation - as long as I have musical accompaniment, I can (almost) always accomplish/finish something. I've always been a girl whose longed for a musical soundtrack to follow her around everywhere she went - or to have Morgan Freeman narrate my life. Instead, I listened to a mix CD and then the best of U2 while baking cookies (using my sister's recipe!) as an early birthday present for a friend ... and for once, I didn't mind washing all the dishes afterward as I sung along with Bono (this song still remains one my favourites, I don't know why).

Does music motivate you too? What keeps you going? :) 

This week I also realized some others things: 1) I'm actually not that bad at baking/cooking and I want to do more(!) and; 2) I've realized the difference between talking to and talking with someone. To me, the latter means you have an ongoing conversation, you geniunely love talking with someone, hearing feedback, hearing what's going on with their life, responding to it, and then having the conversation flow. On the other hand, talking to means that I feel like I'm talking to a brick wall, someone whose eyes are dazed and it feels like they aren't listening to a word I'm saying and as soon as a few seconds of uncomfortable silence kicks in, they launch into a completely unrelated story. At least pretend you're interested, or something. Ah wells!

It's been one of those weeks where, before you know it, it's already Friday. TGIF!

What are you looking forward to this weekend?

And now, a segway of things that made my week before I move on to questions!

It's been forever and a day since I last promised to answer the Ask Nikolett questions, so here goes! If you have any more regarding advice-related questions or things about me, don't hesitate to ask :)

Monster Girl asks ... What are your top five things in your life that are better than coffee to you? :)

I should've seen this coming haha. And I feel like my answers are a bit boring but here goes:

1) Cuddling with The Boy.

2) Laughing with my friends so hard until I'm snorting and we're all crying. 

3) One of those delicious meals that after you finish it you go, "Whoa, I wish I had eight of those." 

4) Feeling the sand between your toes (it's a natural exfoliant!). 

5) Singing along to music at the top of my lungs.

Krissy asks ... What song can you dedicate to me, and why? :D

Right now, I totally want to say "Survivor" by Destiny's Child - you're such a trooper in all that you do, all you go through in your life with people and what recently happened to you (I'm so sorry that you had to go through that, but again, I'm so thankful that you're okay!). 

Oh, and "Ang Gando Ko" by Sandara Park, because it was the first Filipino pop-ish song I heard and me and my friend (who has the same name as you!) sing this, complete with dance moves :) Oh, and because you have long hair haha.

Andhari asks ... If you could have a little menage a trois with two super hot celebrities, who would you choose and why? 

Hmms, umms ... I love your questions, lady hahaahaa. I'd say Henry Cavill and err ... I think that's really all I'd need. Maybe throw in some Tom Wellings, or Chris Evans, or maybe one of the Supernatural brothers (wait, scratch that, just Jensen Ackles). You know, Matthew Goode is pretty good too (haha, Goode - good). But mostly Henry Cavill ... because, look at him (+ his accent, his charm, his outfits on The Tudors):

I had to crop myself out of the right picture, sorry about that ;)

Thank you for the questions! :) I hope you all have a great rest of Friday (or Saturday, or whatever day you might be reading this on) and have a great weekend!
