holiday to-do (tips for filling up your holiday !)

hi guys,
whaduppp... i have been in a holiday for 2 weeks and it is pretty much boring. My computer is broken, and i am using laptop now. Anyway, for you guys that is in a holiday at home and is really bored here are some tips to lighten up your day !

1. Find your interest:
During holiday, it is a good idea to do things that you like. Maybe you like gardening then search about it in the internet. And with any other interest try searching about it in the internet. And also do it ! Maybe you like crafting, then go buy some things to craft or maybe go to crafting classes in your town.

2.explore your town:
i myself have been in Balikpapan for 7  years, and still don't know some places.Ride your bike around town, or just by your foot, or maybe by a bus. But i recommend with foot. Because you can really observe the neighborhood and stop by a place that interest you. Be sure to bring a journal, or camera or your phone and document the places that you like. You can do this with a friend or by your own. Explore !

3.learn new things:
learning new things is fun, it means getting out of your comfort zone and is a really good way to fill  up your holiday. I have been trying to draw and cook for a little while, and i am getting better . First find your interest, maybe art, then try things that is related to it like painting and else, Although you are not good at it, it can train your artistic eye and make you now more about art. But you can always try things you are not good at, remember, practice makes perfect ! trying new things don't have to be expensive. here are some new things to try:
1. Doodle or drawing
2.Cooking
3. Photography
4. Writing short stories or novel
5.painting
6. blogging
7.gardening
8. playing tennis
9. scrapbooking
10. Singing or making a song
11. Playing new music instrument
12. And lots of other fun stuff !

4.Exercise/ do sports :
Holiday always turn us into a couch potato. But we need exercise ! So try running for 20 minutes, only 20 minutes, it is better to do it in the morning or evening. Commit to do it in 20 minutes first, and do it every day. Then every day add 5 minutes to your exercise. But every 3 days change it, maybe change it with just walking or push ups and other. This way, you will get an energetic body and a fun holiday !

5.Rest and take care of your body :
Resting is a good idea for holiday. You can really rest your body after a long week of job or school. Do things that relax you, like taking a nap, or going to spa. Also its time to take care of your body. Browse the internet to find tips and tricks to take care of your body. try searching for "tips for smooth hair" or "smoother skin treatment". Sometime it takes a really cheap things and easy ways to take care of your body. And after the holiday, you will have a new look like, smoother skin and hair!

6. Read books and organize :
reading is important. Sometimes holiday makes us forgot about the lesson we had or things like that. So read! i know it's not really fun, but holiday also need to make you ready to face what's coming in the next semester. Organize your school things and make resolutions about what are you gonna do or be in the next semester, and commit to it ! Buy some new books or stationery for the next semester. make a to do list for what you need and buy it in the nearest book store.

7. Get together with family and friends:
Keep in touch with family and friends. Make a family time activity and hang out with your friends. Maybe, make craft together or make a time capsule with your best friend. And holiday will be much more fun with a friend by your side.

8.Decorate your room :
New room brings joy.So search for "DIY room decoration" in youtube and go to art store.

9.Shopping time :
if you have enough money, go to a shop and buy clothes and shoes. Or, maybe buy foods and explore new taste. It will be really fun.

So guys, i guess that's it. Go have fun and try this steps for your holiday, bye !
