Yann's Top Ten List #1 

As this is my blog, I shall be obnoxious and self-centered and put up a series of Top Ten List.

Now, the debut of my new series shall be something very close to my heart: Top Ten Men I Adore. These are men who make my heart beat faster, who thrill me with what they say or do, who impress me with their wondrous charm. They are not here simply because of their looks - these men are more than eye candy to me. You are, of course, allowed to gag at my choices but I don't really care. *grins*

Enough of that. The nominees of Yann's Top Ten Men are, in no order of preference:

1. Aragorn

Alright, I lied when I said the list is not in any order of preference. He is my ideal man and has been for the past three years. Asking me why I adore him is like asking me why I love chocolate - I don't know. He's manly, noble, courageous and so much more. The only obstacle I foresee in our union is the fact that he is fictitious.

2. Dominic Monaghan

Dominic who, you may ask. He's a family member of the famous Fellowship of the Ring - AKA Merry. He didn't really impress me much in the show, since my attention was focused on Aragorn (see above). But I was drawn to him outside of Middle Earth by his dressing and his cool and collected demeanor.

3. Jay Chou

Ahhhh....He is but only one of the most talented singer/songwriter in Asia right now. Who can not be charmed by his devil-may-care drawl, poetic music and soulful eyes? The only drawback to him is his habit of errr hanging loose.

4. Johnny Depp

Who can resist Johnny Depp as the irrepressible kohl-lined pirate in Disney's hit, The Pirates of the Caribbean? Here's a man who makes wearing make up look sexy and roguish at the same time. Loved him during Edward Scissorshands but, due to the slight mishap of him falling in love with Winona Ryder, subsequently fell out of my radar.

5. Ryan Sutter

Hands up, all ladies who were not impressed by Ryan during Trista & Ryan's Wedding (I admit it, I actually watch that show). Just as I thought - nobody. You've gotta give it to a man who tries his best to give his bride the wedding of her dreams, although it is completely in pink. He's sweet, romantic (the dude writes poetry and paints, for goodness' sake) and has an 8-pack to boot. My real ideal man.

6. Keanu Reeves

Forget him as the cardboard-emotion Neo in Matrix. Catch him in Something's Gotta Give and you will fall in love with him all over again. As the good 'ol doc, he's gorgeous, romantic, affectionate and charming.

7. Bae Yong Jun

If you ever catch him in the drama Hotelier, you will understand my fascination with this man. Gorgeous, passionate, imperfect - these are traits of a real man. And then watch him in Winter Sonata and your fate is firmly sealed. There really is no getting away from the charms of this man.

8. Takenouchi Yutaka

The original Japanese hunk. Forget girlish Kimura Takuya and the rest of the nonsense, here's a charismatic man. He exudes a sense of brooding mystery and he intrigues me.

9. Clay Aiken

The underdog triumphs! Here's a man who makes me laugh when I listen to Build Me Up Buttercup and touches me when he sings Bridge Over Troubled Water.

10. Dylan Goh

No buts about it, this is my current favourite little man! My darling nephew who's almost two-and-a-half, he makes my list simply because he is who he is. I love the way his little arms go around my neck when I carry him, how he likes to jump onto my lap and hug me unexpectedly, the way he "talks", how he can be so contented and amused by the smallest of things etc. Being around him makes me happy and I thank God that I have him in my life.
