5 - My Favorite Hobbies

WHAT IS YOUR HOBBY? WHY DO YOU ENJOY IT?

Every each person has their own special  hobby. Some of them has their weird and normal hobbies. Basically for them, it's more like a comfort zone. They sometimes feel great or overwhelmed every time they do the things that makes them happy.

I myself have several hobbies. It's very impossible for me to only have one because I love trying things and by that I get to have more hobbies. One favorite hobby of mine is when I play the piano. Whenever I play the piano it makes me calm and excited. I can really feel the music that I'm playing. It's one of my outlets where I can express myself. Another one is when I sing. I love to sing randomly. My family is always letting me sing every time we use a karaoke. They said that I have a nice voice and mentioned that I got it from both of my parents. I actually don't believe that I am good but what I can really say is that I love to sing all the time. Drawing or illustrating is one of my favorite things to do also. I love drawing people, also different views of nature, fashioned clothes or maybe just random things. Whenever I suddenly think of something unique or creative, I get a paper and a pencil right away and then I start sketching. Listening to music is also one of my favorite hobbies. I love classical, musical and modern music. My genre's are mellow, soft rock, pop and R n B. So whenever I hear those kind of songs being played, I sing it. Lastly, the overall favorite hobby of mine is eating delicious Japanese, Filipino, Chinese or Foreign dishes and Sweets. When it comes to sweets, sometimes I cannot resist especially if it's Chocolate. There are some sweets that I also like even though it's not made of Chocolate, as long as it's delicious in my taste buds. When it comes to food, I am not that choosy, though, I still have my favorite dishes.

It's really fun when you do your different kinds of hobbies. You get to give yourself enjoyment from time to time. Sometimes it can help you put away your stress or it can  also help you solve some of your problems. That's why some people just love staying inside their comfort zones but their are also times that you have to step out of it.

4 - What's Nice About Myself?

WRITE SOMETHING NICE ABOUT YOURSELF

Many times have I encountered that many people are misspelling my nickname to Bernice. It supposed to be spelled with an S, not with a C. That's why many people pronounce my name to Ber-nice which sounds cute because it's like they are saying that I'm very nice. For me, this is already one thing nice about myself.

What's nice about myself? Well to be honest, I am not sure of the things that are nice about myself. I base it on the things that people say about me. One thing nice about myself is that I love helping people. I cannot resist myself in not helping them. It's like I always feel that I am selfish every time I don't help them in their needs. Another one is that I like buying special things for my close friends or love ones. I do that because I want them to feel that they are really special. Not only for me that they are special but also to other people. Next is that I also love making my close friends laugh. I always try to show amusement to them whenever they are teasing me. Another one also is that I love giving hugs to my family and friends. It's such a great feeling whenever you hug someone because you show that you miss them and you are giving comfort to them. Especially if I see my close friends upset or lonely, I always try my best to comfort them and tell them that I am here to pray and make them smile. Lastly is that I love meeting and speaking to new people. It gives me excitement for some reason and I don't know why. Maybe the friendliness in me just rises up suddenly. However, some of my friends say that I am too nice. They say that I have the attitude of always saying Yes. That's why sometimes I get confused whenever they say that I am too nice because you don't know if it's a compliment or a bad thing.

Having a nice thing or a nice attitude about yourself is very important because many people will remember you by the significant things that they will see in you. Especially if your the hilarious type of person, the more they will never forget about you. That's why it's always fun and perky to make someone happy.

3 - The Unforgettable Accident

THE ACCIDENT

Many people are prone to accidents nowadays. People die because of carelessness and less cautiousness. Some of them plan on doing the accidents intentionally and they don't regret it. that's why the accidents that we encounter nowadays are sometimes severe or just minor.

It was kind of a lazy and a breezy afternoon that day when my father planned on jogging around the village. When my twin brother and I knew about it, we asked our father if we could accompany him around the village  while we are on our scooters. So then after asking him about it, we decided to go around the village. We were enjoying the wind blowing on our faces while we were riding on our scooters. Our dad was just there behind us enjoying his jogging. So while we were just moving on, we reached a steep part of the street. My brother and I thought of scooting from the steep part going down. So we excitedly did it together while our father was watching us from behind. While we were already near the ending part of the steeply road, my brother suddenly told me not to use my foot to slow down on my speed with the scooter, instead, step on the brakes from behind. but then I didn't listen to his advice. I used my left foot to slow myself down. Next thing I knew it I was already laying on the ground while experiencing pain on my wrist. My dad ran for me. He was so worried that he actually blamed himself. I thought I broke my right hand wrist. I was crying in pain. But then one neighbor approached us. He was a doctor actually. He checked on my hand and said, "Can you still move your hand?" Then I answered, "Yes I still can." Then he told my dad not to fret because it wasn't broken. So we really thanked God for the good news. We got home right after the accident that happened to me. My mom and my older brothers were really shocked. They felt really bad for me. So what I did was I exercised my right hand with a tennis ball. I tried grabbing onto the ball for like every 5 minutes. Even when I eat, i also use my right hand. What's weird was that I didn't get to visit the doctor to have my wrist check if ever there was a broken bone or something.

Accidents cannot really be predicted. Unknowingly, it will just happen anytime or anywhere. That's why many people should always be cautious or alert at at all times so that they can be prepared for themselves. They would be able to avoid it as much as possible.

2 - Household Chores Of Mine

MY JOBS AT HOME

I was still in elementary when my parents gave me my very first job at home. They said that I have to learn while I'm still young. I won't be living with them forever that's why I have to learn on my own. There would come a time that you would get married someday and you have to know the different kinds of household chores at home. Especially when you see that your future husband knows how to take care of the house more than you do.

My very first job was to sweep our floor at home. my mother and my older brothers taught me how to sweep the floor without really leaving any dirt behind. Since I was still a kid during that time, it was a challenge for me. Then while I was in my growing up stage, they taught me other household chores. They taught me how to mop the floor, how to wipe the displays and furniture, how to wash the dishes, how to cook food, how to do food preparations, how to feed our pets and how to water the plants. It was exhausting though amazingly it was a fun experience for me. I'm proud of it because it's part of my childhood. Now that I'm 17 yrs. old, I can do all of these chores well. I'm not gonna complain anymore for the reason that I cannot reach the sink or I cannot reach the broom to the hidden corners of the living room.

It's fun when your family members who are older than you teaches you about household chores. You get to learn more. It really gives you additional knowledge. Though there would come a time that you would feel lazy to do them but it's really part of growing up. You won't regret about it.

1 - Something New About Me

THE NEW ME

 Ever since I was little, I learned and discovered many things about myself as a person. I discovered that was the type of person who doesn't really argue with other people. Like I rather get myself teased sometimes. I am also the shy type and the insecure type before. I  used to envy at other people before. The shyness was one of the things that gave me the hindrance in the things that I wanted to do.

Now that I'm in college, many things had changed and had developed in me. I gained more confidence and my self - esteem increased. Even my public speaking improved in some ways. I'm also happy because I was able to meet a lot of new people in my school. They are all so nice and friendly and I'm glad because they accepted me for who I am. Although we still tease with each other but not in a hurting way or insulting way. Even now, I don't get impatient right away. That's why they always say that patience is a virtue.

I was able to achieve all this things because I became optimistic. I had to believe in myself that I can change for the better, even though there were times that I thought of negative situations. I had to thank God for all the things that he had done for me. He guided me all throughout the struggles that I had faced before. that's why I'm proud of the " New Me."
