1. Anybody with a good sense of humor can make me laugh

3. The new words and sentences my 2-year old talks. Of course, it makes me feel happy too.

3 Things that make me cry

3 Things I love
1. Find a quiet place in a library or park and get on with my reading (the list of books is now getting longer)

3 Things I hate
1. Friends who backstab (I have come across many of them and it hurts)
