My Skills

Since before entering College, one of the skills I could be proud of is time-management. It is already my habit to make and follow my schedule. If there are any mishaps or an unexpected event that could disrupt this, there is still no problem as I alot an extra time to fix this. Or I could simply re-adjust my schedule again. Another skill that I want to share about is good communication skills. I've always been a vocal person, I also tend to socialize a lot whenever there is an event that I could go to. That is why talking to some strangers, nor acquaintances isn't a big deal for me. I can just simply approach and speak my mind to them whenever I feel the need to.

In correlation to my good communication skill is my skill when it comes to motivation. This skill helped me crawl though my way since high school where a lot of burden and expectations were given to me. I believe that I will not be able to make my way up in here without it . My motivation skills not only helped me but my close friends as well. Whenever they feel distressed or demotivated, they tend to talk to me. With this comes my patience, honesty, and maturity skills where I would be able to understand their thought process.

During my first year in College, second sem, I was able to improve my multi-tasking skill. As I was able to balance my workload with a full-time job and studying at the same time. It is not an easy task, but I was able to do it with proper scheduling and honed time-management skill. There are still more skills that I am lacking of. But, with the challenge of life, I know that I will be able to continue picking up more valuable skills that will help me along the way. This would only be possible as long as I would keep an open-mind and be tempered under strong pressure.

My Hobbies

I'm not a really sporty-type of boy like my friends are. I tend to just sit under the shade of a tree, read some mangas, manhuas, etc. (similar to a comics) and take my time. If I feel like I want to play, I don't play physically-active games nor sporty-type of games, what I play however, are online games. Again, if I don't want to read nor play games, what I lastly tend to do is talk to people. It is my hobby to listen to some of the people's stories or their point of views in life. I love listening how sincere or satirical they are whenever they talk/voice out their thoughts.

Since then I was really thought of as a boring person. As I believe that I am one of those guys which they call "go with the flow". I tend to blend with my surrounding, join my peers with whatever trips that they have in mind. Life has been smooth for me before. I took everything for granted.

Not until I reached my College years where I experienced true hardship in life. I was forced to work on a full-time job while studying. This is due to the reason that we lack financially that I need to do something to continue my academic life. Aside from the hobbies that I've mentioned earlier, the only hobby that I could do now is to work. I've accepted the harsh reality of life and instead loathe it, I've embraced it. It took me a long time to adjust. But, as long as we show willingness to learn and adapt, there is no such impossible feat. We will learn how to love what we hate. Such is the human mindset, how easily it can be tricked foolishly.

My Interests

When it comes to interest, I feel like this is a really broad topic for me. As an open-minded person, I am always interested to learn the thoughts of others. their opinions and suggestions to some topics (political, social, theories, etc.). It is of my interest to listen and give my thoughts to some matters that I have knowledge of. If ever that I lack some information to this matter, it is also my interest to research and find out more what this topic is all about. Meanwhile, when it comes to recreational activities, my interest mainly lies on anime, manga, manhua, and LoL (an online game).

These are my primary interests before I went to College and had a job. As we grow older, I realize the value of true "relaxation", of which, is now where my interest revolves. This relaxation can be simply described as laying on your bed, doing nothing, and sleeping for almost an entire day. Another interest I've picked along the way is when it comes to fashion. Maybe because I do not have a salary before that I do not have an interest on such material things. But now, I tend to reward myself the highest value of rewards I could give to myself. As my mindset was that I "deserved" these rewards.

Not all interest involves good things, there are some bad things that piqued my interest as well. Such things are alcohol, releasing my stress in a toxic way, etc. Maybe it was just my mechanism to find things that would release my stress and give momentarily pleasure as I carried a lot of burdens since at a young age. Don't worry though, as I am now trying to remove these things from my life. The road is still long. There are still many surprises and interesting things that would pique my interest. But what I do know, is that I will never stray my path as I walk towards my goal—success.
