Do you sometimes feel the need to try something new? Whether it's something as exotic as traveling to a foreign country you've never been to or something as mundane as trying a new coffee flavor?
I try to spice up my life by doing something different, by trying something new. If I don't, I feel so bored with my environment and everyone around me. Being in a rut brings out the worst in me.
Here's my list of the new stuffs I tried lately:
tried a new coffee flavor in a coffee shop I've never been to before
read a novel wrote by the same author, but with a different lead character
visited a church I've never visited before
hang out with people that I knew before but have never hang around with
These are among the new tasks I've accomplished. Simple tasks but new for me. Therefore, these tasks made me happy and added new and unforgettable memories. I don't know but doing these things triggered something in me and gave me positive moods for several days.

Once in a while I would try a new way home. When I'm driving back, and I'm not in a hurry I would turn to a different road going home. Just the other day, I picked an old back road going home. It took a few minutes more, but it offered a good view of farmlands during the drive. And the roal lead to a small community center with a mom and pop sandwhich place. Maybe later today, I would pick that same road and try the 'new' sandwiches at this 'new' place that I've just discovered.

Hi Bounce. Trying a new route also makes me happy. You know that Manila is really a big city. It just makes me happy whenever I learn how to go to a place here, whether by train, by bus or by jeepney. It's great that I have many options for transportation so that I get to change my daily routine every once in a while.

When I feel like trying something for doing the same thing, it makes me feel refreshed about it. Trying something new makes us more creative and innovative in the history of invention, as can be seen from examples out of inventors. Keep on trying something new, arystine.

I often get bored with my surroundings and feel like I need to move to a new location. Whether it be a block away, or across the country, I have this urge to be somewhere new. I think part of that comes from the fact that I love to rearrange my furniture and belongings. Packing and unpacking is just another opportunity to redecorate.

This type of actions are done only by some one and not by every one - as God has given different tastes to every one.
One's thoughts or tastes does not match with the other - as I am a photographer I am a gifted person with creativity. I have created several photographs in a very eye catching way which are appreciated with many devotees and am proud as these are being placed in many houses.
It was nice to note that you have a taste to do something new - very encouraging.
