I need not elaborate on this because all the while since I started blogging, I’ve often wrote about it.
Blogging, reading, gardening, photography, experimenting menu/dish in the kitchen.
Not necessarily in that order. I started reading a lot wayback in high school. I did more serious reading when I worked at the Humanities Section as student librarian at the Univ. Of Santo Tomas Main library while at the same time earning my degree in BSC Economics. You can just imagine my delight encountering all those books on Philosophy, Ethics, Psychology, Literature, History and fiction books. I am still reading until now, collecting a sizable number of books and learning more because of them.
I started blogging here back in May 2009 and its been a long journey of finding myself writing about life, my family, my health, friends, faith and everything that I think are worth-sharing. I have often said that blogging has become a way of life for me. So grateful for meeting friends here who have stayed with me all through these years.
Gardening is something I do to keep myself busy. There is something fulfilling touching the earth, making plants grow, nurturing them through the years. Done cleaning the yard of unwanted grass, pruning and everything, well, except trimming our carabao grass. I cleaned the stepping stones of those creepers that grow when it rains almost every night here. My bottle gourd is bearing tiny fruits now.
I used to experiment doing shots and memes on my Canon Ixus camera but now I am just using my point and shoot cams of my cellphone and tabs. They do the same job but somehow limited. I had this ambitious dream of keeping a journal identifying all the plants in our small garden. I have collected hundreds of photos and maintain them in several albums on FB. I also have a separate blog here on gardening.
I like experimenting in the kitchen. I used to bake simple sweets and loaf bread but since I found out I have diabetes, that has stopped. I cook recipes culled from some Pinoy sites on YouTube but I still prepare those I learned from Dad when I was growing up.
Now that I have so much time in my hands, I am planning to reorganize the books I have collected over the years. Nissa transferred more of her books to their new house. She left the Harry Potter series which Josef read from time to time. He also has a collection of Archie comics, Calvin and Hobbes books and some Science books.
What is your favorite hobby or pastime?
I used to cite Photography and watching films as my hobbies. Then I started blogging in 2012, and that became my main hobby almost immediately. I still take photos and watch films, but not as much as I did before becoming a blogger.
Best wishes, Pete.

My favorite pastime is writing, and now I try to play the piano once a day. Living intrudes.

I love writing, but the striking part is I love research too and fact finding. This means that I love learning too. Lastly, I am passionate about music, it’s making, production, the instruments, singing, listening, the events

Maybe there should be an innovation to fix that😊. I hope you’ll be able to listen to music again
