Just thought of posting random things that simply amaze me. I plan to list them down just in case I forget about it in the future... So I could always remember how it is to be happy with these "little" things... Hahaha :P
1. Left-handed people (and more so with ambidexters!)
I read somewhere that generally, left-handed people are those with more creative juices. And so far, they haven't disappointed me yet.
Shout out to my nanay, the *only* ambidextrous person I've met so far!

2. Polyglots (even those who speak dialects that I don't know, which is basically everything other than Tagalog)
Some might find it annoying, but me, I looooove hearing other languages and dialects. They're like music to my ears. Most of the time I find myself staring at them, with my mouth open. Haha! Since I am only capable of speaking and understanding English and Tagalog, most learned and well-traveled people won't have a hard time impressing me in this department. The thought of hearing foreign "sounds" and seeing people communicate with them is just so lovely. I also have high regard for people who can work through these languages without any difficulty and any twang/accent. Take my boyfriend for example, who can shift between his native dialect (Bicolano) and Tagalog with perfect ease. So adorable!

3. Twins, triplets and other multiple births
Doesn't it amaze you how the human body can conceive more than one baby at a time? I wonder how it feels to have someone who has shared the same womb as you did at the same time. That's such an intimate experience. haha! Also, someone who shares almost the same genetic code as yours. It's really amazing! And also super cute.

4. Pilots
It's just so amazing and mind-tickling how a person can navigate in the air, without seeing where the final destination is. Not even familiar landmarks that could tell them where they are at the moment and to guide them where to go next. Sure they have contact with the airport control tower or whatever, but it is such an amazing talent to be able to "fly" in the air and lift a jumbo jet carrying real live passengers. It is probably the closest (and less riskier) thing that a person can get to being airborne (and by this, I mean Peter Pan-like airborne).

5. The life of royalties
I wonder how awesome it is to be a princess. Or a queen. How it feels to rightfully and legally be authorized to wear a crown. It may be similar to the life of movie celebrities, but these royals are mixed with etiquette. We may always think of those ball gowns, preppy shoes and tiaras. But monarchs will always be symbols of grace and the high life. At least for me. I'd also want to know what the downside is of being called Princess Tamara, other than being followed by the paparazzi everywhere. Haha. For me, princesses will always take the level of fairies and goddesses in the aspect of amazement. (picture from www.businessinside.org)
