殆どのゲームはどれも同じようなものだから、それに興味がちょっと減った。その場所に行って、3回のものをとって、クエストを終了する。敵の場所に行って全員を殺す。全然独創性がないので、つまらなくなる。そうして、ある日、アメリカの2chのようなサイト「Reddit」にざっと目を通していて、韓国のとても人気な漫画「Solo Leveling」を見た。僕は異世界の設定がめっちゃくちゃ大好きだから、是非興味を持った。
最初の10章を読んで、いつの間にか徹夜で読んで、最近の章に追いついた。全てのパネルは色がして、話や描画品質が高くてめっちゃくちゃハマりした。そうして、Redditの韓国の漫画のコミュニティに参加して、もっと面白い漫画を見つけた。その漫画もSoloLevelingのような品質があって、僕の趣味が生まれた。

ランダムに漫画の写真を添付した。読んで欲しい!そうして、この漫画について話そう:D

Un adage populaire dit que pour maîtriser quelque chose, il faut dépenser dix mille heures sur la tâche, quelle qu'il en soit la compétence. Malheureusement, il nous n'informe pas comment avoir de la persévérance pour passer du temps faisant la même chose pour atteindre un niveau élevé. Là se trouve ma faille la plus grave : souvent je perds de l'enthousiasme très facilement et presque tout de suite après avoir commencé quelque activité. Par exemple, l'année dernière j'ai décidé d'apprendre la modélisation 3D. J'ai passé beaucoup d'heures à regarder les vidéos didactiques, je faisais mes propres modèles, mais après quelques mois, les difficultés ont monté; je n'étais plus satisfait avec mon progrés, ça qui me rendait ennuie, et en plus, me démotivait. Hélas, j'ai aussi trouvé un nouveau travail.
Quand je n'avais plus autant de temps libre, j'ai perdu ma passion, et je n'avais plus de motivation pour faire quelque chose. Ça n'était pas non plus la première fois quand j'ai arrêté de faire quelque chose à cause d'un travail, parce que j'étais trop fatigué après les heures du bureau pour faire n'importe quoi qui demandait le moindre de concentration. Je me satisfais donc de regarder les séries ou les films - et car je ne suis pas vraiment un connaisseur de la septième art, il se traitait d'une activité passive. Mon principal passe-temps se devenait donc de se plaindre de travailler, juste à la point ou tous mes amis n'auraient plus le désir de moi écouter.
Le chose le plus triste c'est que je voudrais faire beaucoup de choses intéressantes, mais quand je travaille, je n'aurais pas de volonté et de force pour les faire; et quand je suis au chômage, je n'aurais pas d'argent, lequel beaucoup de loisirs exigent.

जब मैं अपने यूनिवर्सिटी कार्यक्रम के लिए ऑस्ट्रेल्या से नीदरलैंड आयी, तो मुझे आजकल उस समय की तुलने में बहुत अलग-अलग चीज़ें पसंद हैं । जैसे, ऑस्ट्रेल्या में मैं सर्दी में हर हफ़्ते तीन बार हॉकी खेलती थी । गरमी के मौसम में मैं हर दिन दौरती थी । मैं अक्सर समुद्र में भी तैर गयी । अभी भी मुझे हॉकी खेलना, दौरना और तैरना पसंद हैं, लेकिन मेरा दिनचर्या बदल गया । मेरे पास यूनिवर्सिटी के लिए हमेशा बहुत काम है । आजकल मेरे पास अपने पुराने शौक़ों के लिए ख़ाली समय नहीं है । मौसम के कारण भी बाहर जाने के बजाय , मैं अंदर रहना पसंद करती हूँ । कभी-कभी मुझे अपने दोस्तों के लिए खाना बनाना अच्छा लगता है । दूसरे दिनों को मुझे पीऐनो बजाने का शौक़ है । असल में साइकल चलते-चलते शहर में घूमना मुझे भी बहुत पसंद है । आजकल मुझे एक सरल ज़िंदगी चाहिए और मैं छोटी चीज़ें में मज़े लेती हूँ । क्या चाय पीना एक शौक़ है ? चाय पीना मुझे भी बहुत अच्छी लगती है ।

1. Anche se i miei origini sono irlandesi, non ho un grande legame emotivo con l'Irlanda. I miei antenati sono venuti agli Stati Uniti più di un secolo fa. Se avessi il passaporto irlandese comunque, forse avrei un legame emotivo più forte con l’Irlanda perché avrei la cittadinanza.
2. Non mi piace che molte persone hanno ingannato per saltare in cima alla lista per fare il vaccino.
3. Non riesco di togliere i sottotitoli quando guardo un film in italiano. Vorrei non appoggiarmi ai sottotitoli così tanto.
4. Maria non mi ha ancora risposto se vuole unirsi a noi per cena. Sarà che sta facendo un riposino.
5. Ho un tarlo di aver dimenticato qualcosa nella camera dell’albergo.
6. La mia città natale si trova sulla costa ovest della Florida.
7. Il mio ragazzo lavora sodo come consulente. Di solito lavora dalle 9 di mattina fino all'1 di notte.
8. Trovo lo spagnolo abbastanza facile ad apprendere rispetto all'arabo perché lo spagnolo ha molte parole affine all’italiano.
9. I casi del COVID sono in calo negli USA.

After all these years, I can't stick one hobby. My interest are constantly changing. Currently I am reading manga but I don't know how many day will last. At one time, I was watching movies, another time I was going theatre.... I missed to watch theatre. I missed to Istanbul.
I'm mostly into the drawing. Charcoal drawing and sketch could be defined as part of me. I tried to acrylic, few pieces are hanged in my home although they are not really good. I guess, I will start again painting. Recently, I bought acrylic paint tubes.
I'm not cut out for sport and music. I took violin and guitar lessons and dropped. To be honest, When I'm listening to soundtracks, I want to play violin again. I wish I had a talent for music. And sport, I just like to watched. Recently, I watched to 2021 World Figure Skating Championships. The mens were so good and Yuzuru Hanyu was my favorite although he placed as 3th.

Comfort food was always associated in my mind with unhealthy snacks or food. Before June/2020 I was the type of person who would go for a slice (or two) of pizza very late at night. I'm a night owl and for the past 3 months or so I mostly slept at dawn. My schedule left several hours at night in which I’m usually working on my translations and to be able to think straight I need to grab a bite.
Everytime I felt hungry at night I looked around and had the fastest food so that I don't lose time preparing anything. Be it baklava, pita bread with either cheese, baba ghanouj or hommos, croissants, noodles, pies or cakes with fresh cream. As you can see they were all high in calories! I also had a problem of eating while doing something else, so that made me forget to chew my food and therefore I ate more than I should 🙈
Despite the fact that I work out at home using my two dumbbells and Swiss ball or go on long walks most of the days, I started to feel the necessity to change my approach to food. My concerns weren't just associated with my weight but more with the type of food I surrounded myself with.
Lately I've built a habit of starting my day with 3 dates and green tea. Late at night I started to keep a plate of fruits like strawberries or grapes ready in case I felt hungry. I also found comfort in having lemon water with some nuts especially almonds, pistachios or walnuts.
Changing habits was never easy! 🥺
First week tortured me and made me realize how dependant I was on food to stay in a good mood and be able to function, but it was just the first week really! My job turned out to be easier after that and miraculously I stopped thinking about food 24/7 🍀

There's a defining moment in every film we watch.
For those of you who remember the movie Spanglish:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanglish_(film)
Do you remember what was the defining moment in the film? 🤔
Of course to each of us a defining moment in everything in life including the films we watch, so it's not a one-answer-fits-all kind of thing. I remember liking Flor's attitude in the film and the way she insisted that she's Cristina's mom to stop those who tried to interfere in the way she was raising her daughter. None of this though was the reason that made me remember "Spanglish" always.
The real defining moment of the film was when Cristina was upset over something and her mother stopped her from being sad or shedding tears. She only allowed her to shed that one tear she had in her eyes already at that moment and that's it 🍀
That scene reminded me of every hardship we passed in life and how important it was to let go of it as fast as we could. Constant dwelling on the past especially tough and sad situations would only bring sadness and sadness brings physical and mental illnesses.
Last time I was really stressed in my life, a wrinkle was formed on my face, so I've learned my lesson :D Never again! Seeing that one wrinkle in the mirror was another defining moment as well 🙆🏻♀️
What I'm trying to say is that if you are passing a real hard situation and thinking about it won't help you solve anything, the best thing to do is let go of it and anyone who is reminding you of it. Surrounding yourself with fun things to do and people with good attitudes in life can be contagious and this is exactly what I think we all should focus on. Along with positive thinking since most, if not all, the things happening in our lives are products of our own thoughts.
I love to laugh and I keep some silly stuff where I can constantly see them because they make me giggle and lighten up my mood no matter how awful is the day I passed 😂

I am an active person and hobbies have been always present in my life. I never feel like doing nothing.
My oldest hobby is to read, I like because I learn new things and I find it relaxing. I do it since I was a child but my preferences have changed over the years. Initially I tended to read science fiction and adventure novels. Historical events books came latter. Nowadays I switch between Japanese literature, graphic novel and profound themes (religion or psychology books.). I guess it’s a consequence of getting older.
Another indoor hobby that I enjoy a lot is crafting. Specifically, I like to sew presents for my relatives, using colorful fabrics. Because I work all day bored in front of a computer, using my hands during my free time to create these objects releases this creative part of mine.
Finally, I like to travel and hike. I love nature and I sometimes practice outdoor yoga. Maybe because, I am a curious person I feel like an explorer, every new place is a discovery.

The layoff was a blessing in disguise as my new job is a lot better than the old one.
He went to Siberia with only shorts and t-shirts. He is really a sandwich short of a picnic.
Our new home is just a stone‘s throw away from our old one so moving was really fast and cheap.

子供の頃から趣味は多くてきた。最も好きなことは芸術的だ。でも、大人になると好きなことは変えている。例えば、体育授業が嫌いだったが今は運動するようにしています。
祖母は「筆を取った途端、絵描きをしてきた」と言います。毎日絵描きをしていて、中学の時は他の生徒と比べるとレベルは高かったが、高校が終わった後で、絵描き時間が少なくなっちゃったので私はそんなに上手じゃないになったと思う。芸術についての仕事は無理と言われたので、文学と語学をしています。ちょっと悔しいです。絵描きは、一番好きなことはキャラクターを描くが、空想的の景色を作るのも楽しいです。水彩画やインクや色鉛筆を使います。ペンタブレットでも絵描きをします。私の彼氏はプログラマーの学校で勉強しているので、一緒にゲームが作りたいです。
私は少し書きますが、書いたものは恥ずかしくて嫌いです。(汗) 文学を学んでも、完全な作品を書くのは難しいです。あの日、小説を書くかもしれません。実は去年の学校・短編小説のコンテストに参加したのに私の「作品」はおかしすぎたと思います。近代的な文学の中はこの文章で書いている作品は珍しくないですが、先生たちが私の短編小説が好きじゃなかったんです。(笑) 物語が書ければ、漫画を描きたい。
音楽も趣味です。六歳はバイオリンを始めた。はい、始めたばかりは耳が痛い音である。でも頑張りました。だが、中学校は休憩してた。確かに、飽きました。
後で、オンラインの友達を作って、彼はピアノが好きだって、あの日彼と弾きたかったから、もう一度バイオリンを習いました。バイオリンは借り物だったから、高校が終わったとき、大学のためにパリに引っ越ししたし、勉強のせいで音楽をするための時間がないと思ったし、バイオリンを戻した。大変泣きました。でも!他の曲折がある(笑) 一昨年はこのオンラインの友達を出会って彼は「バイオリンを弾かなければならないよ!新しいのを買うように手伝う。」そして、お金をくれた。
「無理無理」を繰り返したのに彼は聞こえないふりにしていた!お金にとって、彼に義理を立てなければならないのでバイオリンを買うことに決めました。今は、他の人と弾きたいんですが、まぁ...
コロナウィルス感染拡大のせいで、難しいですよ。音楽するのが好きですが、先生と授業がなければ、あまり上手にならないね。これもお金がかかっても、来年は授業を受けたい。
オカリナやレコーダーも弾きます。笛の楽器は面白い!和風の楽器も弾きたいです。(太鼓など尺八など琴など) 語学のようでしょうか? 音楽は国際的な言語だと言われますね。
歌うのも好きですが、カラオケをしたことがないです。日本に行くときは、友達とカラオケをやりたいです!パソコンの一人でカラオケは寂しすぎる(笑)
他の趣味は野鳥観察ということです。子供の頃はやく200名前を暗記してた!今は忘れた名前は多い‥他の趣味のように、学校のせいでやめた。
鳥たちはとても可愛い生き物だと思います。春が来ると自然で時間を過ごしたくて、鳥を観察します。先週は日本の野鳥図鑑を買いました。とても楽しいです。フランス語も英語も日本語も(ラテン語も??)の鳥の名前が覚えたいです。旅行が出来ると野鳥観察したいです。特にタンチョウとヒレンジャクを見たいです。
今は過去の趣味に戻りたいです。もっと描きたいし、バイオリンを弾きたいし、鳥の名前を覚えたいし。
高校と大学に巡って、語学も趣味になりました。語学の中の一番好きな二つのことは翻訳と発音である。言語学も勉強したい。苦手なことは文法のルールを暗記することです!でも教師になりたいとショウガナイですよ。
つまり、好きなことは多すぎるので、いつも「時間がない」と言う。でも、命は一つだけだから、やりたいことをやらなければならないですよ!色々なことが好きでも、大丈夫ですよ。好きなことは皆と共有したいです。

I guess playing videogames is a Hobby, it's first in my list.
I'm playing videogames since I was a child, one of my firsts memories is watching the tv while I was playing Spyro in Playstation, I enjoyed it a lot, even now I still loving that game, probably I had 4 or 5 years old then, at 7 y. o. (if I remember well) my family bought the first computer, before that I played in computers just a few times, it was a big change because I had the possibility to play everyday, I remember: Diner dash (1, 2, 3, 4 and many more), sims 1, solitaire spider, crazy taxi, gta vice city, some games of Barbie, and some collections with boring games. At that time cell phones wasn't the big deal, anyways it was funny, old nokia was the first that I remember, some sony ericsson (I remember that I wanted to select a wallpaper for the phone, but I didn't know how to read, so I selected the "delete" option withouth know what I did, absolutely confused haha), many simple and forgettable games, except: Grim Oak - Darkest Fear, a red ball to pass levels, some space shooter, snake, a dance game and a game of Alice in wonderland. I'm not talking about a specific age, my remembers are mixed, just I know I was a kid.
Technology advance changed my life, the incorporation of touch was amazing, I was so happy with my first tablet at 14 years old. My first notebook, everything was something great, the possibility to play whatever I wanted.
Note: My family was the typical poor that buy useless things while they don't have good food or clothes.
This gives me a strange feeling, is sadness, my past is traumatic, videogames was my refuge... I played to ignore, to control, to distract from a sad reality...
And now, I'm here, I still playing videogames, but now is only because I like it, ocassionally if I'm too sad or angry I use it as a way to calm down, but isn't usual.
I like: RE (1, 2, 3, 4), sims (1, 2, 4), beholder, zoo tycoon 2 (old and nostalgic), gta (vice city, san andreas, I want to play the V some day), Spyro, Oxygen not Included, crash bandicoot, legend of zelda (Ocarina of time, A link to the past, Majora's mask)
Another possible hobbie is watch anime (I'm not otaku... I guess... haha), anime was present in my life since my childhood with pokémon, ranma 1/2, digimon (1 and 4), inuyasha. It continued when I was teenager, something more absurd and empty: gore and toxic lovers (terrible, I know). Now I still watching it, is part of my life, but I'm a bit more reflexive with it: thinking about characters development, elements, dialogues, etc. I loved Full metal alchemist:Brotherhood, I liked beastars, shingeki no kyojin, boku no hero. Yakusoku no neverland wasn't exactly what I wanted, I read the manga, I ended it, honestly it wasted a lot of potential!
It was so great with gold pond arc, but then... Just a simple and "happy end", they wasted the potential of Isabella and Emma in this. (I'm talking about the manga). And the anime wasn't a big difference, I had a higher expectation: "surely they will make it better", and I was wrong, a big deception.
I wans't interested in Naruto when I was young, but my boyfriend saw it many times, and that's how I watched it (not all, but the most part), I really liked many characters (except Sasuke and Sakura, with S of Super-unbearable) specially Lee. About Boruto, I can't like the protagonist, is so... Boruto, Himawari is a thousand times better than him (at least for me, sorry if I wasn't nice with that comment about the anime)
As I beign said, I read manga too, that's another hobby. And I guess here is included read comics, although I don't do that for a long time, I was interested in DC comics, even I bought a comic from Spider-man (the paper is so nice, the draws too, but too expensive...), but with rebirth everything got mixed for me and I lost interest.
I used to read a lot of books while I was teenager, so much that many consecutive years I was the best reader in the school (although I didn't had so much competition...). I remember how people talked about "the weirdo that reads book in the library", well kids, library is for read books not play and scream, neither use it as a personal room. But there was too people that admired it, above all because I was really faster reading. Sometimes the school did some speed read tests, so they gived to you a paper with words and estimated how fast you read per minute, I ended the paper many seconds before the time was over, even I had enough time to say "I finished" and see how the teacher was impressed. But it wasn't the big deal, faster isn't better, my comprehension and memory for books is terrible, I just read because it was a funny way to distract from the world withouth a computer. I still enjoying reading, but I try to don't buy books (better a PDF).
Write is another hobby although I don't do it daily, only if I'm "inspired" in some way. But in general are sad and tragic histories, marked for my past and my sad vision of the world. Yesterday I wrote a poem in Spanish, I'm gonna put it in another post because this is too long, I don't think someone will want to correct this...
And I like to draw, I'm not the best but I practice sometimes, I learned from videos and taking photos of myself in a specific position to know how body and clothes are in that way. I want to found my personal style some day, maybe publish.
So, my principal hobbies are: 1) Videogames 2)Watch anime 3)Read (manga, books, comics) 4)Write 5)Draw
Honestly, with all my hobbies I want to do something, I mean I want to write a book, make my own comic, work in videogames development. I want to be someone recognized, a person that gived a good history, a good style, something that people liked and shared because is good, is nice, is enough to be enough. (Yes, "enough to be enough" was intentional, not a error)
If someone correct this, thank very much for your time, seriously I appreciate it.

Esse mês, penso que posso escrever algumas entradas de diário sobre a tradução aproximada e o sentido de alguns provérbios em ingles. Por exemplo, “você vai apanhar mais moscas com mel que com vinagre”. Obviamente é mais de um conselho sobre a maneira de reduzir o número de insetos em casa! Quer dizer que agindo, falando, etc., de uma maneira clara mais ainda gentil e agradável, você terá mais succeso conseguindo o que você quer, que se você age com ameaças, insultos, queixas, etc. Você pode pensar em um exemplo específico de como esse provérbio pode fazer a diferença?

Ik heb niet zo veel hobby's. Om meerdere hobby's te hebben, heb je gewoon vrije tijd nodig. Maar met eens ga ik nog steeds sinds jaren door. Naamelijk - ik houd van beeldende kunst. Voornamelijk schildere ik. Soms denk ik ook, dat schilderen nog belangrijker voor mij is, dan geneeskunde. Ik schilder vaak mijn dromen en sommige dingen, die me niet met rust laten. Vaak gaat het helemaal niet, maar wel zijn er ook tijden, wanneer ik dagelijks schildere. De technieken, die ik gebruik, zijn er meerdere: ik tekene graag met een potlood of een liner, ik verv ook graag met olieverf. Soms neem ik door me gemaakte fotos en bewerke deze. Het collageren doe ik ook soms graag. Ik probier nu ook meer digitaal te tekenen, want ik heb er een werktuig voor. Toen ik naar een kunstschool ging (tijdens middelbaare school), hield ik extreem van het beeldhouwen. Maar dan verboden mijn ouders me kunst te studeren en ik had problemen met normaale school (geen belangstelling of vrienden daar), dus hield ik met de kunstschool op. Nu ben ik bijna een arts en mijn specialisatie heeft wel wat met beelden te maken. Ik houd van celen en wefselonderzoek! En ik houd niet met tekenen op.
Een ander ding wat ik als een hobby van mij betekenen kan, is het lezen. Ik lees dagelijks en ik vind, dat het een van de beste soorten escapisme is. Er zijn meerdere talen, warin ik lees en namelijk: Russisch, Engels, Duits en Nederlands. Ik kan er heel goed van genieten, om een book in de originele taal te lezen.
Wat ik niet leuk vind? Ik ben bepaald geen juiste mens voor uitgaan (is dat een juist woord?) en feesten. Ik ga wel graag wandelen, maar ik vind drukke pleken helemaal niet leuk. Ik houd ook niet van concerten.

Ich werde euch heute erzählen, was für Hobbys ich habe. Seit ich ein Kind war, mag ich das Lesen. Ich lese gern, aber komischerweise ist das Lesen nicht ein regelmäßiges Hobby für mich.
Ich kann mich nur an bestimmten Zeiten erinnern, in denen ich viele Bücher hintereinander gelesen habe. Als ich elf oder zwölf Jahre alt war, habe ich die ganze Buchreihe von "Der Herr der Ringe" gelesen und auch sehr genossen. Auch in dieser Zeit las ich alle verfügbaren Harry Potter Bücher.
Bücher auf Deutsch lese ich auch gern, obwohl ich selbstverständlich immer noch Schwierigkeiten mit der Sprache habe. Das ist mir am Ende egal, weil ich beim Lesen die Zeit gut verbringen kann bzw. Spaß habe und gleichzeitig mein Vokabular verbessere.
