A to Z of blessings

B

Bible: "Ancient words ever true, changing me & changing you." God's word, passed down through the ages, still as relevant as ever.

Books: I'm not much of a reader, but i've learnt the value of books as a great source of knowledge. Great companion when on the go too. Right now i'm reading two books, "Rex: A Mother, Her Autistic Child, And The Music That Transformed Their Lives" (Cathleen Lewis) and "Who Made God?: And Answers To Over 100 Other Tough Questions Of Faith" (Ravi Zacharias, Norman Geisler).

Basketball: 95% of my sports injuries were sustained while playing this beautiful game. Don't play much of this nowadays. Takde kaki la....

Badminton: This, i still have the pleasure of playing nowadays.

Butter cookies: Yummmm......

Bon Jovi: Great music from these great musicians. My favourite from them happens to start with "B" too, Blaze Of Glory.

Blogs: A good way to catch up on friends' and people's happenings and thoughts.

Bourne Trilogy of Movies: Jason Bourne (played by Matt Damon), part of the CIA's top secret "super agent" programme, loses his memory in an assignment gone wrong. It's 6 hours of Jason trying to make sense of things, traversing continents, finding out the truth in unconventional ways, breaking people's arms and necks, until he returns to where it all started and discovers his true identity. The three movies that make up this trilogy is Bourne Identity, Bourne Supremacy and Bourne Ultimatum.

Burn Notice: The only tv series i'm following right now (given that i don't watch much tv). I do watch Criminal Minds too but i don't tail it as closely as i do this Burn Notice. The series revolves around a spy (yes i like spy thrillers) who got burned (or fired in common terms) for reasons unknown to him. He sets out to find out the truth of why he got burned while also keeping busy with interesting, and sometimes humourous, assignments of helping people (the man's gotta eat but there's also more to why he helps people, sometimes even for free). Joining him in his misadventures are his shoot-first-ask-questions-later ex-girlfriend, a beer-guzzling ex-Navy SEAL friend and smoke-like-a-chimney mum.

"Bottomline, until you figure out who burned you, you're not going anywhere" :)
