My Hobbies and Interests

 

As one of my assignments in English One, we were asked to write not so ordinary self- introduction. So, let me introduce myself to you. Maybe it’s better to start knowing my name first. My name is Mara Loreto, “M-A-R-A” not “MARIA” or not “CLARA!”

As far as I know, all of us have different personality which makes us unique from the others. Maybe, there are some people who have the same face because they are twins but not totally the same. I think the things that will best describe me are my hobbies and interests. I believe that once you know those things, you will know me more and we can have something to talk together.

My hobbies and interests give me so much happiness which sometimes makes me forget my name (really?) and makes my clock melts.  I spend most of my time doing the things which are attractive to me if I have no school works to do. I have a lot of hobbies and interests like reading fiction books, watching basketball games, making amazing scrapbooks, watching horror movies, and of course the top of the line in my list, eating delicious food!

 

So let me first start how reading fiction books became one of my interests. From the very beginning, I am not fond of reading books, and I know most of the guys also find it very boring because there are no pictures and drawings. But I started to like reading fiction books when my bestfriends and I watched Twilight Saga in Shangri-La Plaza mall wherein a friend of mine told me that there are numbers of cuts in the movie. She also told me that it’s better for me to read the books because once I’ll read it, it’s even more exciting and breath- taking. For that reason, I became an addict Twilight Saga reader! I’m already done reading the series so at this moment, I am reading the Hush Hush Saga and the Fallen Saga. I am really looking forward to see a vampire, wolves, and a fallen angel because in the book, they are really handsome with a white or brown complexion, greenish or yellowish color of the eyes, and a muscle built body. I hope I could see that kind of guy someday.

I am somehow a boyish type of person who is fond of basketball games. My interest in watching basketball games started when I was browsing a channel to watch in television. I got attracted when I see a basketball game because the kind the team played was very exciting and a lot of people cheered for them. I think the two teams that I first watched playing in the television was the Redbull Barako and the Brgy. Ginebra Kings. Because of the fun that I felt while watching their game, I cannot resist myself to stop watching. That is why I became a basketball fanatic! And I find it very exciting to watch it especially during the last two minutes and the score of the two teams are close to each other. Also, I find it very enjoyable whenever my favorite teams play.

The team that I like most in the NBA is the Los Angeles Lakers and my favorite player there is Kobe Bryant because I really like the way he handles and shoots the ball.

The team that I like most in PBA is Brgy. Ginebra Kings and my favorite player is Jayjay Helterbrand because for me, he is really cool and he plays well.

The team that I like most in the UAAP is the De La Salle Green Archers because I am a La Sallian and I’m proud of it! 

I really want to play basketball but everytime I played it together with my friends, I find myself always injured, maybe because I’m not that strong enough (AWW). I already experienced sprained foot three times because of basketball. But I have no regrets for I really enjoy playing it especially during our school intramurals. 

Making amazing scrapbooks is also one of my interests because I really like collecting pictures and decorating colorful pages. Actually, I spend most of my allowance buying scrapbook materials even though I will not do a scrapbook. I just want to collect colorful and fantastic materials. In fact, my aunt in the states sends me a lot of scrapbooks materials because she knows that I am fond of collecting it. I don’t know why I like it, I just find myself in so much happiness whenever I see scrapbook materials and making things connected to it.

My interest in watching horror movies started when I got influenced by my mom and cousin to watch those kinds of movies. I think I am fond of those because it shows how the characters respond to the challenges placed before them. Also, because I find it enjoyable whenever my heart pumped faster and when my hair stands. My favorite horror movies are those which have zombies like the “Resident Evil Saga”. 

Eating delicious food is on the top my list because I really like eating especially sweets and chocolates. They say that eating foods which have high sugar or chocolates will make us diabetic and fat. I don’t care if I will get fat (really?) but I don’t want to be diabetic. I think in order for me to avoid that, I should start having diet in eating sweets.

As you read the list of my hobbies and interests, I hope somehow we have the same thing. I am looking forward to receiving presence that are related to scrapbooks, fiction books, or anything that I am interested in. Thanks in advance! =)
