Why not ride the wave and try indoor gardening so you can check if you have that green thumb?

Isn’t it great if you can still converse with them using sign language? Learning sign language may look really hard at first, but with all the learning tools and materials available nowadays, you may be well on your way to growing your sign language comprehension.
4. Listen to More Music Genre
Is there someone you know who doesn’t like music? We bet you couldn’t think of any, right? We mean who doesn’t enjoy listening to music? Music is like the universal language of the world. For some people, it’s their stress reliever while for others; music is their caffeine to start the day. Try to put a little twist on your daily dose of music and listen to other genres.
If you’re a Pop kind of person, listen to rock sometimes. Want to feel the chill vibe thru acoustic music? Tweak it a bit and go for classical. You will be surprised by how beautiful other music genres are. And the hype you feel every time you hear some Drake songs dropping the beat can be just the same when Vanessa Carlton hits your playlist. You know? Making my way downtown…la la la…la la la.
5. Make a Family Scrapbook
Bring out the artist in you and start being creative with your DIY family scrapbook.
Can we just appreciate the nostalgia of looking back at your old family pictures in your ancient photo albums? If ever you manage to recover some shabby things from your old family stuff, clean it out and place it in a scrapbook. Exert your effort in designing it to make it the best art project you have done in your life. You don’t have to be as great as some of our National Artists in making it, but at least give it your best shot and we’re sure your whole family will appreciate it.
6. Host an Indoor Picnic
Pre-pandemic, most of us are busy hustling and working hard trying to provide the best life we can give to our family. But if there’s something we can be thankful for during this whole coronavirus crisis, it’s the time we can now spend with our loved ones. The time that we tend to overlook prior pandemic.
But now, we can see our family in one home and consider every day a family day. Celebrate while keeping safe and host an indoor picnic. While we can’t take away the fun and excitement of eating at the park or the beach, an indoor picnic is definitely more fun and exciting than your traditional lunch or family dinner. Plan what suitable food and drinks to prepare and bring out your blanket, throw pillows, and picnic basket for your perfect family indoor picnic at the comfort of your Tagaytay condo for sale.
