Things That Make Me Happy

I am finally taking the first step to become a less spiteful person...

In no particular order, things from the top of my head right now

1. Good weather
     = mildly sunny, moderately windy, and slight drizzle
2. Having a baby smile or laugh at me
     My mood just shoots over the roof when this happens
3. Meeting kind strangers
     Like when I run out of change for the bus fare 
4. Somebody getting me something I really really wanted/ needed
     Double points if I didn't expect it (very rare)
         If I become slightly hostile when that happens it means you did it right and I'm slightly shy
5. Somebody going out of their way for me
     I think I'm the type that is very conscious about these things.. So if you do an unexpected favour for me, I will remember and I'll be twice as nice to you next time (I'm not a nice person.. -_______-)
6. Pocky
    Want to bribe me? Use Pocky.
7. Llama/ Alpaca soft toys
    Even I was surprised at this recent discovery. I'm not usually a soft toy person.
8. Being home alone
    I can be at 100% loner and nobody can judge. I love it.
9. Paychecks
    Smell that? That's the smell of materialistic power.
10. Dessert (the expensive kind)
    I love sweet stuff that are not sickly sweet. Chocolates, pies, cakes, bubble tea, cakes, ice cream, cakes...
11. Travelling
    I am so going to spend all my money travelling the world.
12. Enjoying the arts
    I enjoy looking at art even if I can't understand them (I, unexpectedly, have culture)
13. Tricking others
    I'm a bully by nature
14. When I look back and realise that I've been very efficient
    I plead guilty to procrastinating at life.
15. When my effort is appreciated
16. Discovering awesome new songs and wallpapers and books

Another Thing That Annoys Me

I have a lot of anger in me, I've realised. I should share something that makes me happy next time.

Anyway, I've been using facebook a lot more recently *cough* work *cough* and my 'friends' share some really good, inspirational stories on facebook... That have very unfortunate titles that really demeans the story into another one of those meaningless, attention-seeking articles, and this annoys me.

For example, I see this article that my 'friends' shared:

I'm sorry, but what's up with that lame title that is obviously phrased to pique the attention of 14-year-olds?? It even sounds written by 14-year-olds (I know, I've been there). Why couldn't a more simple title like, oh, I don't know, "Beautiful Sceneries" or something be good enough? It's straight to the point and doesn't sound attention seeking. I'm really bad at titles too, but still, why not just "A Man Filmed Heaven For  7 Days", why add the "What He Saw Took My Breath Away." part??? It really demeans the whole article. If I saw that title, I wouldn't have clicked on the link, but two people who usually shared good links shared this, so I did. The video was great. Link:http://www.lifebuzz.com/heaven/#!UrjG0
The photographer filmed some really beautiful footage of our planet.... But I almost didn't open it beacuse of the stupid title.

Another example:


This too is a great video about a great pianist performing in a train station, but with a stupid title that sounds like it was written by 14-year-olds. "You Gotta See This."???? Why is that phrase in the TITLE? It doesn't add any meaning to the video, it doesn't explain anything from the video, it just says 'click me, click me! I'm a website that really needs more visits'.

And so on and so forth... 

Well goodbye. I just wanted to rant. :D
