I noticed that I haven't been updating the lists of my favorite things since 2006 when I started this blog.
I can't believe it already past more than 9 years, almost 10 years since I started this blog !
I never imagined or thought about I would continue the blog so long at that time.
I just wanted to express my feelings of what I love, because it made me feel great.
and I got many new favorites since 2006, so I think it's time to update it.
Thinking and imaging about our favorite things improves our feeling and frequency level.
Also I can know who I really am through it.
These are mine, what's yours ?

Quotes
" Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.
Believe nothing merely because you have been told it.
Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher.
But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings -- that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide.
- Buddha
“Better a witty fool than a foolish wit.” -William Shakespeare
" The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is he source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger , who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe , is good as dead : his eyes are closed. " by Albert Einstein
