Hi There! (:

Hey, my name’s Matthia. I'm currently studying at Ruamrudee International School, or RIS, in short. I’m partly Indonesian and partly Filipino. I’ve been living in Thailand since I was 2, but I can’t speak the language very well. It’s already December, but the sun is still shining bright, and it's incredibly hot! I’m guessing that in your place it’s already snowing. I’ve always wanted to go to a Western country and see real snow. Whenever I go to an amusement park, I always go to a snow-house, and there will be artificial snow, a snow man, and many more winter decorations. It might as well be called the "human refrigerator". I wonder what it’s like to live in a country that experiences real snow. What's it like to be living in a country that experiences snow every year?

My most favorite thing to do is play instruments. I can play the piano, the flute, and the guitar. When I was about 3 years old, I came across a music store in a mall, and the music playing was one of Pachelbel’s famous piano piece, Canon in D. After hearing that song, I was inspired to play the piano because of how smooth the sound of the notes connect and become one amazing piece. I begged my parents to allow me to learn the wonderful instrument, and the next thing I knew, I was learning how to play the piano. In 6^th grade, I joined the band, and my instrument was the flute. Now, I’m in 8^th grade, and I’m still in the band playing my flute. As for the guitar, I taught myself how to play it. 

Those are some of the things that I like to do when I need to relax or to be in peace. What instruments can you play? Do you have another favorite activity that you enjoy doing? What kind of music genres do you like? Wherever I go, I always listen to music. I love listening to rap, R&B, and pop songs. I'm really excited to be participating in a Quad-Blog, and I can't wait to see what will happen in the future. (:
