Blog About Myself

      Today, I've thought about writing a blog about myself for my TLE/ICT Subject.     Describing ones self isn't the simplest thing ever, but since it is about myself, it is considerably easier than writing one for another person, as I know myself better than anyone out here.      I am Jedrick Alfred T Guzman, born in January 2, 2008. I love playing games like Genshin Impact. My first name, I dont know where I got it, but my 2nd name is from my dads name, but modified to sound abit younger than him.  I like to play sports as well. I used to do Taekwondo but I eventually decided to quit it because I became too lazy. Now, I play badminton quite regularly. I r eside in Parada, Santo Domingo, which I have been originally and born in Pampanga, Angeles City.
