Hello Steemit Family! My name is Haide. I am from the Philippines and currently living in Saudi Arabia for more than 7 years. My husband is working here that's why me and our 3 kids are also here.

Living in a country that is so different from where we grew up is really difficult. You need to adjust and accept their culture and their way of living. Aside from that, you will miss your family and friends back home. However, I still consider myself very lucky because not all foreign workers are given the chance to take their family with them here.

My life here only revolves around my family. Most of the time we are just inside the house. If we go out, we usually just buy some groceries, go to the park and let the children have fun.

That's all for today my fellow Steemians! Looking forward to meet real friends here. God bless us all!

I am struggeling, like you, to get those big upvotes on my posts so you should try out @MinnowPowerUp where you can earn up to 30% more steem power than just powering up through steemit! It's a subscription based daily upvote bot that draws its power from a delegation pool. I made this post to explain the system in more depth and show how I earn over $1 a day in upvotes.

Hello Haide and welcome to steemit. Nice meeting you I wish you good luck to you and your family

Welcome to Steemit
Don't forget to read up on "keys" & passwords.
Basically don't log in with your "master key"
Use your private posting key.

TL;DR: You should have ALREADY saved your PASSWORD that was used to generate your keys
Next go to Profile >Wallet > Permissions and copy paste all FIVE keys to a safe place.
(eg a text file on a memory stick)
The “OWNER” key is the ‘master key’, keep it VERY safe
Daily logins for posting should use your Private POSTING key.
Once you have copies saved, log out and log back in with USERNAME & your POSTING key
Hope that helps some.

This tip is a big help. Noted! Thanks a lot!

welcome ediah! :)

Hi @ethansteem! Thanks for welcoming me here! 😉

No Problem. Be safe, it's different to other social media here, your $$$ are connected to your account. So only log in with POSTING key, unless your transferring your millions$ :-)

I will put that in mind. Thanks again!

@darius1993 Why the down vote? Unlike other social media around here downvotes are for abusive or inappropriate posts. If you don't like my comments OK, but save down votes for the bad stuff, they hurt YOUR reputation also.
