Sometimes it is better to try something you have not yet done in your life. Writing seemed complicated, but who knows if I can offer something here if I could put effort into it. The idea of joining the hype of starting a blogging journey came from my girlfriend, @charmingcherry . She started telling me that this platform would be a good way to express myself and share my adventures. You will know the reason behind that idea from her after I introduce myself.

Greetings to everyone!

I am Darren, taking a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering as my college course. My girlfriend challenged me to join here and share my hobbies with everyone. My first answer is no because I don't think I can write well. She started offering deals to me to create an account here. She even insisted on proofreading, editing, and checking my writing because I was not confident about my grammar.

I know my writing is not as good as hers, but she told me she'd start telling and sharing tips with me and improve. Before finally saying yes, we had to discuss things, and I asked her what I should write about since I am not good at writing about life experiences. She then mentioned my hobbies and how I could share them here as she does. Maybe you are curious about them already and thinking about what's so special about the activities I love to do.

I play basketball.

It became my hobby as a kid because our house is just a few steps away from a basketball court. I watched adults playing before until I started to play little by little. Because of the fun and challenge of playing, I loved this game and found joy every time. I also met people and became friends with them because of basketball. And I even got a chance to play in different leagues. That's how my hobby of playing this sport built something in me.

I like fishing.

I grew up in a province, and my grandfather has a fish pond. He taught me how to go fishing, and I enjoyed it. Since I have friends with the same vibes as mine, I invite them over to catch fish sometimes. There was also a moment when I brought my girlfriend there, and we spent the day fishing with her nephew. Aside from doing this on fish ponds, my friends and I spend a day catching fish at sea. You can see it in the photos I will attach below. It was another hobby of mine.

I am into Hiking.

Aside from fishing, I am also into adventures like hiking and mountain climbing. My friends and I love discovering waterfalls and rivers and going to the top of the mountains. It became a hobby because I am into nature tripping on beaches, rivers, or mountains. I can feel happiness and enjoyment whenever we see wonderful places. No signal or connection to social media is okay with me as long as I am into adventures. It is the moment that I have always wanted to enjoy.

I like taking pictures.

I have a hobby of taking pictures when I look at something interesting. I love taking a remembrance with me. One of my favorite subjects is the moon. I have a lens that can zoom in 18 times. I also love taking pictures of the sunset and sunrise. Sometimes I only keep them as a collection on my phone, so I can check them out when I want to. Also, I always wanted to capture photos of my girlfriend.

Before creating an account here, my girlfriend mentioned the dos and don'ts. She told me that I must look forward to sharing quality content to have a good reputation among my readers and followers. She did not forget to say what I should do, from engagement and communication.

Joining here will let me explore more and share the experiences, adventures, and other happenings in my life with everyone.
