As for hobbies.... I like to sing and do a lot of creative activities cause thats what I'm best at and enjoy doing. I've been singing since I was 6 but never performed in front of people, only sang when I'm alone or in my room. I hope in the future that I will have a decent job, a stable relationship and a family, that way I will feel secure and happy and know for definate that everything I want in life has been achieved. I want to be a journalist but still want to explore different jobs incase I don't make it as a journalist and to see if there is a better oppurtunity for me. Also I like to go out with friends and families, internet, music, movies and other social activities. Often I go my laptop and use social network such as Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr. Tumblr is a blog that I go on everyday just because it contains alot of photography and creative pictures on it that keeps me interested all the time.
