What am I doing here?

A friend of mine @Zoeroces introduced me to Steemit. I am actually here to share, learn and earn! Let me elaborate that to you guys a little further...

I Am Here to SHARE

"It's more fun in the Philippines!"

-That's our country's tourism slogan. We all love our own country. For us, it is more fun to stay and live in our home country. But what's with "Philippines" that other countries doesn't have? That's what I want to share with you guys! I want to share every wonderful things that I could think of, about my country.. how does it feel to live here? what does it looks like? what do we do for living? and why did we came up believing in that slogan.. that it is more fun in the Philippines. It is like, I want to give you a tour to our country by means of blogging. Follow me, and I will show how wonderful this country is.. to make Steemians realize that this world has so much beauty in it, so let's enjoy life and discover wonderful things!

But wait, there's more!

*"Live life to express not to impress.."

I am also here to show you what I got! I want to share with you guys my talents, skills and knowledge that I have learned in life. God gave us talents to improve it and show it, not to impress others, but to express ourselves, our passion, our personality.

Music and Art. Those are my addictions. Both are powerful unspoken words that gives meaningful messages. Those messages that we want everybody else to know but cannot tell unto them, can be expressed out through music and art.

I am an imaginative, creative and artistic person. I love to draw since I was young. I draw everything that I have in mind. I love colors! I love colorful things! It makes the world beautiful and lively. I can't imagine this world without music and art... 😣 I really can't.

I love singing! (but I'm not a good singer though). I love to dance and groove with the beat of the music! (I'm not a good dancer too 😆 ) but definitely, I love music 🎔 . Music runs into my blood. All of my family members love music. My sisters, my parents, and even my ex-husband can play musical instruments (I also want to learn how to play a guitar 🎸). Music is my escape from the reality. Every time I put my headphones on and turn the music volume high, it's like going into a different world which makes me forget all the problems that I have.

"When you're happy, you enjoy the music but when you're sad, you undestand the lyrics." - Frank Ocean

Here's a sneak peek of me, singing out of the blue.. I sing when I want to express my feelings through music.

I Am Here to Learn

*"Learn More to Earn More!"

Yes! That's right! I truly believe in that quotation. The more knowledge you learn, the more job opportunities you can get, the more money you can earn. That's why I want to learn more and more each day.. I am here on Steemit, to learn and discover new things that I don't know yet. To widen my knowledge on something that I just have an idea what it is about. I want to read other Steemians' blogs and learn more from it.

I am new to this cryptocurrency thing and I want to figure out something more from it. I know I can read a lot about that topic here on Steemit. I am also interested to learn more about other countries. I've never been into any other country. So, I will keep reading posts here about their own countries. Who knows? Maybe I can travel to one of those countries someday. At least, I will have an idea which country to go first. I want to discover the world! It is like I'm traveling to different countries by means of reading other races' blogs. So yeah! feel free to mention me on your posts and I will surely upvote it (if in case, I can't. I will still read it and will surely learn from it) 👍 .

I Am Here To Earn

"Come for the rewards. Stay for the Community."

-- that's what the Steemit banner says. Basically, I came here for the rewards. We all need money. Who don't have bills to pay? But to earn doesn't always mean to accumulate money. I think I can earn something more from this site. Hopefully, I could create a post with a valuable content to help and inspire other Steemians. But if in case I can't earn that much, at least, I learn and from learning, I earn knowledge. Knowledge which is something that no one could ever steal or take away from me. I can also gain more friends! Steemians! - a new community.. a new family.

Yes, I came for the rewards... but I will definitely stay for the community. 😉
