Singing is an art of vocalizing. In other words, an act of using one’s voice to produce sounds or tunes.

Singing is a nice thing if you have a sweet voice. But that does not mean someone with an average song cannot sing too.

You can as well write songs during your leisure time. Trust me; it’s exciting and fun.

Mobile technology is now so advanced that you don’t need a professional camera to take dope pictures!

You can take a picture of the beautiful landscape in your environment, vehicle, or even a nice gown you admire.

You can also dress up and pose for different shots, either as selfies, portraits, or any other phototype. This is really fun and lovely – that you will feel like a runaway model or a celebrity, LOL.

Riding a bicycle is not only a male thing; girls and young ladies can do it too. Though a little quite vigorous, cycling is one of the most recreating hobbies.
