Hobbies
A way to keep my self busy and productive is hoarding hobbies. Yeah, I have a few hobbies of mine but in this article, I will just share some of them. I always want to try a hobby because I really get curious about it. I always jump around hobbies that is why I do not finish learning them, lol. But I am happy when I started to invest my interest and be more serious in learning it.
So, here are some of my hobbies!
Watercolor Painting
I started this hobby last year. I got inspired by a YouTuber named Draw With Shiba. Most of his works are about nature, landscape, and sceneries. He is so satisfying to watch that is why I want to try it myself. I bought some materials and hella expensive. I bought the proper paper which is 400 GSM. It is a very thick paper that can hold water. Different sizes of brushes, the watercolor I got is the SeamiArt 50. If you are interested in buying, here is the link to the product. Click here
I will share some of my paintings in the future too!
Photography
I really like taking pictures especially on the macro side. I like to see the smallest details in a life, bubble, etc. It feels like there is a tiny world when I am looking in the macro lenses. my favorite subjects are flowers, insects, and leaves.
Here are samples of my macro shots
Digital arts
Well, since I was a kid, I really doodling around on a sheet of paper. It has been always a part of who I am. I love creating a character in my head and drawing them in canvas. I started on traditional drawing until the digital version came. I use Medibang and Clip Studio as of the moment.

Writing
I started this hobby a year ago too. I thought I will never like writing before because, for me, it is a tedious thing to do. But then I realized that when I write, I feel like some of the things I overthink just fade away when I write them down. It is very therapeutic too in that way.
Hobbies I Want To Try
Crochet
I find videos of crocheting on Tiktok very satisfying. Also, it is so interesting how they make those shapes with two sticks. What I want is making hats out of crochet. I am still thinking about it if I want to invest money on it, hehe.Acrylic Painting
At first, I was hesitant in the first place because this type of painting is kinda messy. It is hard to clean afterward, though. My friend @jude.villarta then influenced me. She is a fine art major and cannot wait to teach me to paint!Candle making
Again, saw another video from Tiktok. I already did a canvas on the materials and it is cheaper to make your own candle rather than buying them. Also, I can mix my favorite scents. It is like making your own perfume but in candle form.
No, I do not have that much time
Yeah, I have many hobbies but I do not do them all at the same time. What I do is just have a time management plan. I do these hobbies after work or when I like them to do. Also, instead of just scrolling through my phone, I will just spend my time on my hobbies.
That is it for this article. I will see you at the next one!
