I have completed so many posts, but I haven't completely introduced myself to you so far. Maybe, I just forgot, or I didn't plan to give you some facts about me. But now, I guess it's time to allow you to know my interests, hobbies, favorites, and stuff. Hereunder are the details of my tastes and preferences. I hope you'll bother to spend your precious time in reading it.
Ideal Friends. Everybody needs friends, and he or she normally chooses from the many varied people the ones he or she can easily get along with. Friends are people who interact with others with the aim of obtaining a long-term bond despite the many blemishes others have inside and outside; it is a very necessary decision to choose people to get along with and befriend, especially those who portray through actions the above meaning of a friend. Now, allow me to impart to you some of the characteristics I want to behold in a person. (Somebody refers to my ideal friend.)
To begin with, I am fond of somebody who doesn't have obscene and vulgar characteristics. He or she deliberates before he or she talks. He or she utilizes words in an appropriate way and time in order to avoid any sort of offense to other people. He or she is not so plain-spoken. He or she doesn't talk so directly and frankly because he or she believes not all truths have to be discussed. He or she does avoid reasoning that he or she just tells the truth only to disparage, to upset, and to embarrass others and to hurt their feelings. Being outspoken, to me, is a form of impudence, but people often associate it to
pagpapakatotoo. I would like to say I disagree to such idea. So, people with thorough minds and careful tongues will really turn me on.
Somebody has a good sense of humor, making it to win my friendly favor. He or she makes jests everyone will really appreciate. He or she tell jokes that do not offend anybody. I don't talk about the kind of sense humor people use to construct booby traps and pranks and to initiate shenanigans, but about the kind of sense of humor that somebody properly uses to make fun that all people will love and like. He smiles, except when they don't feel good and well.
Neither outer features nor good humor can suffice in the absence of inner features. Lack of internal beauty makes a person superficial and his existence subject to living naught.
Somebody truly cares about you whether you are burdened or not. When you feel as if you were going to collapse with desolation and despondence, somebody will unconditionally do his utmost to lift you spirit and to help you overcome your problems. Somebody has a strong resolve to give his aid to you whenever you find solving your own problems an arduous task. provided he or she has to put himself or herself in the first place of his or her catalog of priorities, he or she will still bother to promptly open his or her arms for others in need of a shoulder.
Somebody instantaneously knows how you feel even prior to your confiding to him or her. He or she never waits for you to orally communicate your problems, and immediately expresses his or her deepest sympathy.
Not only does somebody know how to handle helping you, but also he or she knows how to defend you against the opposing forces. Somebody tries to shield you from people who unreasonably criticize, belittle, and incriminate you. He or she will protect you not by chastising the enemies but by proudly enumerating the pleasant truths that may kill the enemies' prejudice and hostility. He or she will always be ready to help you cleanse your tarnished reputation due to people's pernicious aggression. Without any atom of doubt, somebody will fight for you lest enemies appear.
You will feel that somebody is the one to whom you can vouchsafe your secrets. He or she will keep them because you confess to him or her in strict confidence; and he or she does fear that you will become upset. Somebody will be grateful not because he or she knows the things you buried in secrecy, but because you offer him or her your full trust. Hopefully, you cab count on him or her and expect that he will assure your secrets a safe haven.
Someone has a good sense of humor that captures my friendly favor. He or she makes jests that everyone will really appreciate. He or she tells jokes that do not offend anybody. I don't talk about the kind of sense humor people use to construct booby traps and pranks and to initiate shenanigans, but about the kind of sense humor that they properly use to make fun that all people will love and like. Someone smiles, except when they don't feel good and well.
He or she keeps himself or herself cognizant of his or her purposes and goals, and he or she isn't negligent of what he or she lives for. He or she also knows that I want to be his or her friend because of his or her being purposeful and passionate
The last and the best, he or she pursues the will of God for him or her. He or she has to be committed to God and see in himself or herself who God really is. He or she reads the Bible and prays. He or she is a person with whom I can talk about God and His stories. He or she is a Christian.This is the most ideal characteristics I find in friends.
Humbly, I don't want to sound very fastidious when it comes to finding friends. I have many friends who don't fit in my standards, but I don't get rid of them because I know I have my own flaws which make me imperfect. I just impart my standards you have to meet to be a companion of mine. Change if you dare be my friend.
Sports. Sports, especially the ones that require flexibility, are one of my leisure activities. There are sundry sports that seems so inviting, and I will be remiss if I don't mention some of them.
Badminton is one of my favorite sports though I have only a very measurable expertise in it. Maybe all I lack is agility and alertness when the game is on that's why I am not so confident that I like badminton. I am not slow nor weak, but my speed and might is unsatisfactory. I play well, but I know I don't have what it takes to be a badminton player.
I was ten or so when I unearthed my adeptness in volleyball. At first I wasn't good at it, but I found myself learning until I learned so well. I played with some of my neighbors. It was fun. But nothing lasts so long like our ball. Because a ball costs so much money, I stopped playing volleyball. Consequently, a very long time of disuse of my volleyball adeptness has taken its toll on me. I don't know how to handle the approaching ball again. My hits became always oblique.
For people who are not in the know, I am also obsessed with gymnastics. I can perform a number of maneuvers. Once you see me in person, you will not think that I am fond of gymnastics because I don't look flexible. But confidently, I am. I can do splits, bridges, cartwheels, handstands, and so many else. I have watched so many gymnasts put their bodies in motion, and I have been interestedly invited to use my own body to do gymnastics. From the word go, as a child, I have discovered my own flexibility. It haven't been that hard for me to enhance it; hence I hitherto perform gymnastic maneuvers. However, I feel the need to reduce my weight to improve my balance.
Figure skating is a winter sport, and I crazily love it. I wish I were a figure skater, but I know it would never happen because Philippines don't have winter. Moreover, it's too expensive for me to buy figure skating offers of malls.
I dubiously don't know why I don't pay interest to amateur basketball. Provided that it is one of today's most played sports, I still haven't conceived to play it seriously. I have so many concepts respecting amateur basketball. Basketball is very risky when you play it on the hard court. There was usual taunting and cocky expressions between two parties in amateur basketball. On the one hand, there is a victorious group, and on the other hand the other group who is a bunch of sore losers. I have watched so many basketball games and witnessed the pugnacity of the majority of players. I don't intend to decry basketball; I am just communicating the bad side I see in its amateur nature. In fact, I admire professional basketball players because they fascinate their rabid spectators and inspire them to play the said sport, which helps many improve their recreational interests. To conclude, I prefer the professional basketball to amateur basketball.
Animals. Certainly, most of the people are alienated by snakes, and I am one of those people. I think it is unnecessary to explain. I've gone to zoos many a time, but I can't remember myself searching for evil snakes. Why should I? To get horror-struck? Yuck! I'm sorry for snake aficionados, but I really don't like them. Honestly, I cannot find any reason to love snakes. They don't deserve my liking. I've watch so many shows on Animal Planet that show how they swallow rats and other tiny animals.
To me, they are really worth disgust. I can't imagine myself standing touching their elongate, legless, scaly body. I think touching them seems to invite them to bite and eat me. Dreaming of snakes preying on me would be the most interesting thing to do! Sarcastic me!
Another object of my odium and disgust are the crocodiles. With their horrendous teeth that threaten to devour anyone fully, they know they make me their enemy. I don't like their skin, their anything.
Crocodiles' repugnance renders me disgusted also by the other animals semblable to them like lizards, salamanders, komodo dragons, and alligators. Unfortunately, the late Steve Irwin didn't make it to encourage me to have the guts to befriend the crocodiles and other reptiles.
Dogs? Oh yes, dogs! I will not be shocked by how lovely they are. Since I was a kid, I haven't been looking for pets but dogs. My favorite dog color is brown and any other dark colors because white dogs are always likely to get dirty; I don't say I hate white dogs.
What I like of dogs is that they are cuddly, playful, and cute. When they are still puppies, they become rambunctious and always try to tackle each other as a form of playing.
Naming dogs is such a hard puzzle to finish. Thanks to my aunt, we got some names like Tweety for our first dog and Chuba and Sheva for our next two dogs. Thanks to myself, I gave our following generation of dogs names like Maxwell, Milo, and "Avril Tiffany Maryse".
Cats! Cats are so dear to me, but I can't picture them as my pets. One reason of my eternal refusal to claim a cat is that they also refuse to take a bath. I don't perceive cats as dirty little things, but they don't really appreciate the cool water! To tell the truth, I find them friendly, protective (especially when they mouse around the house), and loyal. That's the reason I like them.
I like ducklings but not their parents, old ducks. When I was young, I was fond of chasing ducklings whose mother led them in their little journey. I usually sneaked when they walked across our backyard, and schemed to steal at least one of them. When I went near them, I rushed and tried to get anyone of them, only to fail and be intimidated by the big, fat mother duck whose enraged eyes and beak made me run away.
Now that I am older, I stopped pursuing any badling of ducks that crosses our backyard. What I know is that images of cute ducklings excite me.
Music. Humbly, I don't have any ability when it comes to playing musical instruments; however, proudly, I still have a musical caliber that I am proud of. Probably because of my parents' fondness of singing, I have learned to sing and been careful of utilizing my voice (when to raise, to control, and to prolong my voice while singing). Maybe I don't have a gift in playing pianos, guitars, horns, and the like, but I thank God for the gift called "voice" He has given me.
Actually, I don't have any right to brag about my voice. God gave me this, and to take care of this means to be humble about it.
Music is my most recent passion. It's not because I love Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake, or whoever in Hollywood. I am not into popular music (maybe I was before I found out that many of Hollywood singers are already initiated into Illuminati brotherhood). I'm into Christian music.
As a person born of Christ, I get mesmerized whenever I hear good lyrics containing the expressions about the greatness and kindness of God Almighty. It is absolutely nice to sing to God at all times without caring for those who hear you sing. It's not about my audience. The songs I sing are my communication with God.
My favorite Christians who sing (rather that Christian singers), to name a few, are Brooke Fraser Ligertwood, whose exotic voice captivates me; Chris Tomlin, whose songs I'm struggling with; Kari Jobe, whom I admire for her good songs; Darlene Zschech, whose anointing overwhelms me; and Don Moen, whose songs I am fond of.
As I am telling you I don't dislike music, I am going to tell you what makes me stuck with music. In times I feel lonely, I sing songs that comfort me and eventually dispel the loneliness within. When I am alone and bored, I do sing, imagining I am the most famous superstar in the world.
Above all the facts said, God is my music.
