Hobby and Interest




This post will discuss about hobby and interest. Of course all people have a hobby and interest. Some times their hobby is very different with other, but sometimes it’s similar. But you must know, hobby and interest is different. An interest is something you feel and you like it. And how about hobby, what is hobby?  A hobby is something you do because you interested in outside ones regular occupation. Because that reason, interest is much closed with hobby. What your hobby is what thing you interested in.

I have many interested and many hobbies. I interested in art, broadcasting, try a new one, gathering, coffee, café, food, film, black and white thing, and I’m interested in photo.
How about my hobby? I have some hobby from which I’m interested in. My hobbies are:

     1.Travelling (because I interested in try a new one)
Travelling is an informative and adventurous hobby; it’s a freedom from routine and a great experience each time. You can make new friends, get rid of day to day frustration, and give yourself some time to experience a new one. If we go somewhere new, we can found a different beauty, various creatures, new culture, different language, and amazing history from place we visited in. I think travelling hobby is a hobby of enjoy the God’s creativity and skill fullness. Travelling gives you a great break from your routine activities, and give us an opportunity to learn a new culture, try a traditional food, and make lifelong friends. Travelling is a perfect educational hobby as it helps us learn a lot of new things in this life.


2. Hang out to café (I like coffee and café so much)

     Coffee?? Hmmh,yummy!! I like coffee very much, all kind of coffee, except Espresso. Espresso is so small, bit and very expensive. Coffee has much kind of taste and smell. If you go to the café with your friends, choose the best one, which you can enjoy the place and enjoy the coffee. Not all café just sell a coffee, many café sell a juice, tea, or other drink. What the special thing at café? You can online in there (not all café have this facilities), gather with your friends, and you can share anything in there, if you right to choose a café. 



    3.Taking a picture and editing it ( I’m interested in art and photo )

I don’t have a camera like other person which likes photography, because I just like to taking a picture with a simple stuff, like hand phone, no need to bring anything if I want to take a picture. Sometimes, if I have a time, I will transfer my entire photo from hand phone to laptop and start to edit it. Not all photos will be edited, just some great and interested photos. I’m not very good to edit a photo, but I like to do it. Sometimes I use Photoshop, Corel draw, meitu, or photo scape.  It’s just a hobby.



4.       Watching a movie (I like film)

I like film, sometimes I watch in a cinema, and sometimes I watched at my room with Laptop. A movie can help us to escape from our boredom. When no one beside us, and we don’t know what will we do, a movie can help us to waste our time. I love all kind of movie, but I don’t interest in animation film, because I think it’s very impossible. The most my favorite movies is horror movies.

What your hobby? Found and share it to your friends.
Whatever your hobby, it’s a fun activities and give you a new spirit and mood booster.

FRIENDSHIP




All human are social beings who always need other person beside us. We will never be able to stand alone without others who helped and supported us. We can see, every day in our lives, if we want to go somewhere, automatically we will invite our friends to accompany us. In a broader context, of course we need others to help us complies our needs, like food, clothes, houses, etc.

In addition of course we also need a friend. Friend is a place where we can share what we feel, whether pleasure or sadness that we face. When we do not understand what we must do to solve our problem, we can share to our friends and they will help us to solve it.
There is a difference between friend and best friend, what's that?


A friend is someone who helped us when we ask them to help us. Of course we have lots of friends in our life, such as playing friends, work friends, and other friends. A playing friend just a friend when we want to go outside, or want to play something with them, and a work friends is a friend when we worked together, not more than that. Out from that concept, our relation is end and we not friend any more. A friend will not or doesn’t want to feel what is being felt by other friend. They tend not to care, although not all like that.


If you want to get a best friend, you must have many friends and then from your entire friend, you will found who your best friend is, because is impossible if we have a best friend before we get a friend. To find a best friend (true friend) is not as easy like to get a friend. Because a friend is usually understood exactly what we feel, be it sadness or grief. They will help us if we have a problem, they do not see we have any money or not, do not see we are smart or not, and others.
To appreciate the best friends, the government in the United states every year on the first Sunday in August as a day of friendship. This decision was taken by the U.S. Congress in 1935, and this idea was widely accepted by several other countries all over the world.To celebrate the friendship, much we can do like:


• a simple idea to write a card to your friends telling them how much you appreciate their friendship.
• To touch hearts your friend buy or purchase or make a small gift such as flowers, chocolates, cakes, or whatever.
• Provide a warm hug to your friend and let him understand that they have a special place in your heart!
• Write your friend's Web page to express your friendship online
• Ring a radio station and dedicate a song to Friendship Day and your friends!

• Take a camera or go to the photo studio and took some photos of you and your friends to preserve your memory



 

That is a some way to make your best friend happy, but there is something more valuable than all the way presented above, it is your love and care for them.
Treat your friend as you love yourself, because that's the meaning of a True Friend. Find Your Best Friends from all of your friends now, and keep them well, because BEST FRIENDS so PRECIOUS to our lives.

Poem of Friendship

Life ends when you stop dreaming,
hope ends when you stop believing,
love ends when you stop caring,
friendship ends when you stop sharing

So share this with whomever you consider dear...
I choose to share these with you...
Forgive the heart that hurts you,
and don't hurt the heart that loves you...

Don't cry over anyone who won't cry over you...
Good friends are hard to find,
harder to leave and impossible to forget...

Most people walk in and out of your life
but only friends leave foot prints in your heart,

TRUE FRIENDSHIP NEVER ENDS.

Tips for get the HAPPINESS in your life



Are now you truly happy? Do you even know what it means to be happy and what you must to do to achieve happiness?  Happiness is a feeling of inner peace and satisfaction which comes from the inside, and triggered by outer events. All people can make their daily life happier than before, it is just about the choice and depends of our attitude, what thing already we did today,it makes us feel happy or unhappy. It's depends on your self.





I have some tips that I follow to create happiness in my life, I think it’s good if you want to try and I hope you will get the happiness  too ^^




Here are a few tips for increasing happiness in daily life:


1. Understand what thing that will make you happy. Everyone has different requirements for achieve their happiness and what thing makes one person happy may be very different from what thing makes someone else happy. Dont worried if what thing makes you happy is very different with your peers, because each of us is a unique person and dont same with other.

2. Endeavor to change the way you look at things. Always look at the positive side. Our mind may drag you to think about the negativity and difficulties. Don't let your mind drag you think about it. Always look at the good and positive side of every situation you passed.

3. Surround yourself with happy people. The people around you will affect all thing about you. If you are around angry, depresed or sad, that feel will transfer to you. It is also easy to begin to think negatively when you are surrounded by people who think that way. Conversely, if you are around people who are happy their emotional state will be infectious and you will also learn their habit, and learn to react the way what they will do when something bad happens to their. And it will change your negative act replace with the positive ones.

4.Spend a few minutes each day thinking about the things that make you happy and gratitute it. It is a good practice to have a daily gratitute session. Do something different to say THANK YOU to someone makes you happy today. It's have many affect, you will be happy because you get many special things today and it will make you more closely with someone which make you happy today.

5.Count your blessings and accept all things in our lives.When something bad happens to your self, try not to focus about it. Instead, take a minute to count your blessings, what thing already you get because God loves to us. And start to accept things as they are,try to understand all about you, and allow yourself to be yourself,not other. Everyone always has many good things in their lives, whether it is our health or loved ones or whatever thing in our live, that's all our blessings.



6. Think of solutions, not the problems.
Dont always thinking about your problems, move to the next step: how to solve it. When someone says to me, "Oh, this is so hard," or "Oh, I this is my bigest problem", just ask them, "Well, what's the solution of it?" or said to yor self "Hey problems, i have a BIG God to do my small problems" If you think solution-oriented , you'll be much happier than before.
7. Listen to relaxing, uplifting music, watch funny comedies that make you laugh. Just a simple thing, but it will make you happier. Laugh as you can.

8. Each day, devote some time to reading a few pages of an inspiring book which contain good words for you.



9.It is also important to take some time each day to do something nice for yourself and savor it. Whether you treat yourself to lunch and eating something you love, watching your favorite program on TV, going to a movie take a long, relaxing bath or simply spend a few extra minutes on your appearance you will be subconsciously putting yourself in a better mood.

10. Each day does at least one act to make others happy. Just do the simple thing, like helping your colleagues, giving your seat in a bus to someone else, or giving a small present to someone you love.















11. Do not envy people who are happy, because jealously doesn't help you. On the contrary, be happy for their happiness and then focused on yourself.

12. Smile more often to yourself and other
13. For the finally, it is important to understand that you deserve happiness. Those who believe that they are not worthy of happiness will never achieve happiness. If necessary, tell yourself each day that you deserve to be happy and remind yourself what steps you will take to achieve the happiness you desire.
That is some tips about how to get the happiness in our life, which I get from book, magazine, internet, and also from my experience. And I try to incorporate this above into my life and have had great success in achieving happiness. The tips in this article are small but meaningful steps that you can take each day to lead you to true happiness.

Tips of Insomniac



Insomnia? What is that? And how to resolve it?

I would define insomnia as Insomnia is a trouble falling or staying asleep. Many kind of insomnia, Some people who have insomnia may have trouble falling asleep, but other people may fall asleep easily but wake up too soon and it can also be defined as poor sleep, where the insomniac wakes up several times at night and so does not get enough rest. And the conclusion is, insomnia may cause you to get too little sleep or have poor-quality sleep, and it makes you not feel refreshed when you wake up from your sleep like other person.
Are u insomniac? I try to give you some solution, but this solution not a guarantee you will have a pleasure sleep tonight,  just try it, and I hope you will get a good quality sleep,.^^

1.Warm bath for your self

It's a great way to make your body relax , do warm bath around 3 hours before you want to go sleep. But don't overdo it, because the thing need to relax is your body, and if too long in hot  water and your body will be drained of vitality.

2.Listen to Music before you get a sleep

Listen soft music, like a jazz or acoustic music which you have, soothing music that will lull you to sleep and it make fresh your mind about what already happen today.  But if you don't have a CD player, or headset that will automatically turn off the music, I don't suggest this, because when you will get a sleep you have to get up and turn it off and at the end, you obviously lost its effect.

3.Drink Warm Milk
Many person and doctor already said to me, "If you want to get a sleep well, make warm milk" A glass of warm milk (not a cold milk) which you drink 15 minutes before going to bed will soothe your nervous system and it will make you relax.

4.Drink herb Tea

My friends and the doctor ask me, "Do you love milk? Do you afraid become fat? If you said yes, Try a cup of hot herb tea." All things contain natural ingredients, it will help to soothe and help you get to sleep.




5. Have a Bedtime Snack

I suggest you to have A bedtime snack before you want to go sleep, and i think it's must have low protein and contain high carbohydrate , such as juice and cookies, eat the bedtime snack about an hour before bedtime, and i hope it's can help you fall asleep sooner.


6. Don't Naps
Avoid naps during the day. If you sleep during the day, your body may not be as tired as necessary to get to sleep at night and it makes you stay awake at the night.

7. Keep Routine Bedtime Hours

Your body likes regular routines, the problem is whether you do it or not. Your body like to going to get up at the same time, eat at the same times, and go to bed at the same time. Not very exciting, but it comfortable for your body. So pick a reasonable and regular time to go to bed each night, and stick to it. And I suggest to you to getting up one-half hour earlier (or even more) than you really have to, and it make you more tired at night and it makes you get to sleep well.

8. Don't Watch TV or Reading a book before going to bed

Wait at least one-half hour (preferably longer) before going to bed after reading or watching television. The reason is we always be a passively person when we watch television, or reading a book. And our minds always being stimulated about what we watch and read. Over stimulated mind  is the reason why we keep awake at night.
 

9. Deep Breathing if you want to sleep

If you want to go to sleep, deep breathing as you can for three times. Because with deep breathing can minimize your tense and providing more oxygen to our bodies, energizing and rejuvenating every organ and cell in our bodies.


10.  Keep Your Bed a Place for Sleep

Okay, and maybe for one other thing. But not for working, reading, watching television or whatever else occupies you in the evening. Let your mind and body identify bed with sleeping.


11. Avoid the bright light


If you wake up after you get a sleep in the middle of the night and can’t get back to sleep within 30 minutes, get up  from your bed and avoid as much light as possible. Because light will only stimulate your brain’s and wake your nervous system.

12.Pray before you sleep

Pray to your God before you get a sleep, and said to Him if you want to get a pleasure sleep and a nice dream.


That’s some solution and tips which I can give to you, because I’m an insomniac too and I try to do that’s solution, and believe it or not, now I can have a pleasure sleep. Try if you want to have it too. ^^
