is it my passion?

Currently, for the past two weeks (or it might have been three weeks) I have made two scrapbook pages displaying two of my closest friends. Although my work isn’t nearly as good as a ‘professional’s’ artwork, I am very proud of what I had created because 1) the ideas came from my head and 2) it was my own two hands that had created them. For me, it takes at least one to two weeks to finish a page because I only work on them during Saturdays and Sundays or just not at all. I do not have time during the weekdays to make them because either I am studying for a test or doing homework or I am just too plain lazy. I need to learn how not to be lazy and get things done if I want to improve and learn how to make scrapbooks. Sometimes even when I have enough time, I do not bother to bring out the materials and make a scrapbook page. So, I wonder, if I am too lazy to make scrapbooks, does that consider as my ‘passion’? I like to make scrapbook pages; cut paper, paste pictures, and decorate with all such items. In www.dictionary.referenece.com, passion means the desire to do something. Often with scrapbooks, I have the ‘desire’ to make them, but there are more times when I am too neglectful to do it. I want to keep on making scrapbooks because it is something I like to do, but I am not sure that it is part of my passion. To be truthful, I spend more time drawing then I spend making scrapbooks, so is drawing my passion or scrapbooking my passion?  

~what is my passion~!?

“Write about your passion,” Ms. Rumford had said to us when we were first introduced to Edublogs. I had thought that answering this question would be easy, but over Semana Santa, I had worried and fretted over what my passion is. What did I like to do, I had asked myself. There are three answers for that: art, photography, and writing. It is hard to choose only one, and I had thought of doing all three, but I knew that it was impossible. It wasn’t until two days before school was starting again (Saturday) that I found the solution to my problem. A scrapbook. I have never tried to make a scrapbook before and I don’t know if I’ll like this new hobby of mine, but I am willing to try it out.

I have researched on the Internet to find more about how to create a scrapbook. There were a lot of guides and tips for the beginners like me. For anyone who are also interested in starting on a scrapbook, here are some websites that are very helpful, or at least they were for me:
