My name is Rafael. I like learning about new things. I'm a hard worker only when I'm not lazy and a quick thinker at times. And I'm annoying when I'm passionate about something.

Rafa's Peculiar Phobias
I have a peculiar list of phobias. For starters I get very frigid when I lie on my back with my neck exposed. This is because I have this gargantuan fear of being stabbed in the neck, which is really weird. Also, I am pretty much fazed by the dark, and am quite scared of it. Lastly, whenever I am forced to accompany someone to the hospital, I do so cautiously. This is because I am a bit of a hospital-phobe, and hospitals creep me out.

Rafa Illustrates
Most people immediatly think that the most talented people in the world were talented right from the start. For example, people think that DaVinci came out of the womb with the superlative ability of drawing portraits correctly, when his work was a result of years of training. Banal opinions suggest that Lady Gaga was "born that way", when, in fact, she wasn't. But perspicacious views surely know that no millionaire is born buissness-savvy, no scientist is born a genius, and no dancer is born knowing how to samba.

People: And When To Stay Away From Them.
When wanting a fresh look on life, the first step is to avoid people people with pernicious attitudes. Some types of people tend to be very detrimental, sometimes because of certain emotions and angers that fervent from them. Individuals with those kinds of feelings inside always tend to be surrounded by animosity. Derogatory attitudes and cantankerous personalities are, in some ways, damaging to any individual's positive attitude.

How to blog through writer's block
How to avoid writer's block
Most times, I evasively ignore my blog post assignments until it is finally Sunday night and the assignment is due the next day. Due to rush of getting it done quickly, my mind gets stuck in a state of mental paralysis whenever I attempt to write. This is what we call "writer's block", a very detrimental and banal condition of anyone who is trying to write but is held back by a mysterious mental force. But, luckily, there are ways of avoiding this annoying tendency.
First of all, asuming the writer has spent more than enough time thinking about what to write, one must write with abandonment. At first, this method might seem to be garrulous, but it is better to write too much than to not write at all. The intention of this step is to purely stop all mental blocks that keep you from writing. Also, this step helps you to get all your thoughts written on paper.
Second, edit your content. This step allows you to read everything you wrote and edit the information. Leaving only the important elements, this makes the blog post more coherent and organized.
And Voila! You have proven yourself to be quite astue and you have written a blog post just in the nick of time!

Acting
I do envy the superlative and talented actors of the world. The ability to impersonate a character is a feat within itself. An actor or actress must be dauntless and daring with one's performance, averting from their own insecurities. Actors are endued witih the ability to confer complete emotional expression, making their performance seem genuine and real. To be an actor means to be conscientious about your performance and to avoid being caitiff.

Rafa Compares and Contrasts
Me and my father have striking similarities. For instance, both of us have deep singing voices. When I was taking choir in school, I immediatly remembered how my dad used to sing at parties. Also, we both love cake to an extent we could eat a whole bakery. But, even though me and my dad have certain things in common, we also differ on various things. For one, although we both like to sing, he also likes to play guitar while I haven't learned to play anything. And, of course, my father loves to, not only eat cake, but to make cakes. I, on the other hand, find it irksome to cook something that isn't mess-proof.

Rafa's Cramming and its Side Effects
I had a bit of a trite habit of studying two days before the test.
Very haughtily, I would believe that two days of studying would be
enough for me to get a good grade for said test. I would believe
myself to be astute, thinking I could cram in all the information just
in time to take the test, get a good grade and act like a total
braggart for the rest of the week. But, as always, the consequences of my mistake were inevitable. As a result of my obsolete cramming session, I only remembered the easy topics, but couldn't remember the subjects that take time to learn. From this last experience, I learned to be more conscientious about my study habits.
