#NO.20 {10 Things You Can Do When You Are Bored At Home!}

Wednesday, February 05, 2014

Hello there readers! So, as you guys know I am not the type of girl who gets the chance to go anywhere I want and by that I include even going out to the malls nearby my house to hangout or travel. Yes, this whole 2 months plus of holiday have definitely drive me crazy! And if YOU are facing the same problem as me , probably already starting to stare at a blank wall and have gone through same routine of waking up, eat and sleep every single second of your life... You have come to the right blog. Continue reading this post and I hope that you will learn something.

 Many people have asked me how the hell I survive my 17 years and 2 months of life staying at home all the time during holidays and let me tell you, this is no easy job. Its the worst ever kind of holiday you will experience. Throughout those years, I have complained as much as I can to my parents but its not really helping anyway. I still do it once in awhile now when I feel like I am going crazy staying at home but now, most of the time, I have figured out ways and things to keep me sane in this square ( or rectangular? ) brick of walls I live in. Let me list down one by one all the things that anyone can do while at home ! :D

 1. Learn Something New

 I know this sound clique but its really the right thing to do and this is like the perfect time to learn. Its where you can be all focus in doing something and obviously no one will disturb you. Learn to draw or maybe learn to knit or you can learn to make a keychain like I did :D Besides that, with the presence of internet, you can learn anything without even paying for classes. That's the whole point of doing things at home.


Don't forget that you can always brush up on your existence skills too, if you prefer ;)

2. Read A Book / Listen To Music

This might not be for everyone but trust me. I am not a reader! Atleast, as long as I remember I was not a big fan of reading story books or those thick ass novel. Like omg 500 pages filled with words , words and more words?! Yes, I was not a bookworm but it didn't stop me from reading. Whether you are reading a magazine, a comic book that's filled with drawings instead of words or a thick novel of your choice, any genres, make it a vampire love story or what ever . This is definitely the perfect time for you to be lying down and just read a book and get soaked in that another world that you don't live in. If you want some suggestions on book you can always contact me and ask for some :D



 Also, don't forget that music is everything, so do check out on more new music or just open up your music playlists and listen to them. Listening to music have been proven to make a person feel a lot more happier.

This goes back to what I just wrote about learning something new. But seriously, this is what I've been doing lately. I've been looking through recipes , easy ones and sandwiches because I hate the hassle and I just cook and eat . Food keeps me happy and I believe it will do the same to you guys. So, go to your kitchen and cook something up! There's even such thing called NO BAKE Cookies or dessert, perfect for people who are terrible at baking like me or a total newbie. If you have a smartphone, theres always apps on recipes like I have this cooking app that I just downloaded recently . ( all the cooks) Feel free to download it! It's free on app store :) If you can't download an app or have no recipe books at all, well since you are reading this, I am very sure you have an internet so just google up for easy recipes! 


4. Keep Your Books Safe !

This is definitely for those who really love to read and have tons of books lying around at home. What I mean by keeping your books safe is wrap your book up with book wrappers :D This is easy to do and definitely worth to do. If you love to keep your book all nice and new and they are total precious to you , do this. All you need is just book wrappers ( those transparent ones or any clear plastics would do) , a pair of scissors and a cellophane tape. During the holidays I've been doing this to all my books. Its so easy and it keeps your book safe from any dust and waterproof. It takes less that 10 minutes for a book too!


5. Do Arts and Craft

Okay, this sounds super girly but I promise you... guys can do this too! I mean why not? And this is perfect for photographers too. Arts and crafts branches to many things and one of it that I want to focus on this post is a scrapbook. Just get any beautiful notebook you have at home and start pasting pictures that you like and make your book look cool! Besides that, what I have been doing these days is get my sharpies and start writing quotes in a really nice notebook that I love. Then, I would do all sorts of things like sticking stickers or whatever just decorate the page. This is where your ideas come in and you know, the unexpected always turn out to be something beautiful.
  

6. Watch A Movie or Catch Up On Tv Shows and Drama Series Even Animes

This is the best part of a holiday. You get to be a couch potato all day long! Google up some nice movies that you can watch online, download it, or look for tv series that you never get to catch up on before. Theres so many nice and great shows out there you just have to look! If it is so hard for you to choose one, narrow it down to the top best shows and you'll get maybe around 10 and from there you can just choose one and watch. The best thing about this is, you'll be occupied for hours and hours you won't even realise that time is passing. Something like sleeping but definitely more entertaining. :D
Besides watching tv series, dramas, movies or animes another thing you can do is go on YouTube and look for videos that interest you. There's millions of video out there and of course they are free so just search! I've gone through so many of them and there are some funny ones too. All you need is to look for one and watch :D


7. Blog on Tumblr, Make A Video on Youtube, Or Tweet!

This is probably what most teenagers do each day. Just go on the internet and make a tumblr or you can make your own video if you are brave enough to talk infront a camera . Or just read tweets. These stuffs take up your time alot. Don't even forget about Facebook. You can even chat up with some of your buddies online.

8. Connect With Your Friends

Staying at home and not hanging out with your friends can be a real pain. But, with all the free messaging app and online chats you can always stay connect and just spend hours and hours chatting with your friends. Bright side, your social life will be great. Getting to talk to someone is a bless, so why not?

9. Play Games

This would be perfect for guys out there. But, who says girls can't play games? Download a game on your phone or just play it on your computer. Anything would do, this will kill your time . Besides that, with the technology this days, you can always play online multiplayer with your friends or make some friends online and play with them ! :D Really really fun.

10. Eat 

If you are dead bored and you just don't want to do anything above just eat. But I can tell you that its not a really healthy thing. Don't blame me if you gain some weight or belly fats by doing this. This was my last resolution to anything and I can say that holidays have made me fat. I've been munching on food healthy or not every single minute. Horrible but well, when you are bored you tend to be hungry. So eat up but please be careful. Obesity is bad.



Thats all! I hope everyone will be less bored after reading this post and do hope it helps . Well, most importantly I hope I did remember to include everything in this post for you guys. If there is anymore other things that I figure out later on, I will definitely post it up for all of you. Thank you for reading this and tell me how did you guys spend your holiday at home?
