Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
Depending on the mood.
It can be a whole day Taylor Swift, Michael Buble, John Mayer song and the next day I can completely turn into Jay Chou or Big bang. Some other day it turns into The Beatles or Nat King Cole. And on a happy day, it can turn into a whole Disney song. Basically, there's no day I live without music.
