WHO AM I?
Hi Hive! Good day, I'm @yourcap at your service. I'm from Cebu Province specifically in Tabogon which is located in the Philippines. I am 17 years old turning into a legal age 3 months from now which is in February. I'm currently studying as a grade 12 student taking General Academic Strand.
I just want to introduce myself or share a little part of my life here in Hive as a newbie. My story is not that interesting. I was born and raised in a very simple lifestyle with my parents, grandmother, and grandfather. I have 3 siblings and I am the 2nd among them.
We always had a little celebration of every achievement and occasion to be united with our relatives to make things more memorable. It feels nice sharing your memorable moments with people who always have your back in your ups and downs. Who has been here at there very beginning of my life.
Since elementary I have been a consistent honor student, I always put my very best into my academics. I try not to disappoint my parents, relatives, and neighbors because they have high expectations of me. Before it was hard for me because I always focused on my studies, I didn't even let myself breathe a little, and I always pressured myself to push through because of having that mindset that "I won't let disappointments occur".
But I've realized, Why am I always thinking of them and not for myself? I should give myself a little break from it; socialize with others, go to places where I can relax, listen to soothing melodies of music, and do my hobbies to let myself feel free for a while to lessen the feeling of burden of being pressured. And of course, I will not abandon my studies as well. I still have that mindset that I will always carry along in my journey.
WHY DID I CHOOSE CAP AS MY USERNAME?
I came up with that username (yourcap) as I love wearing caps everywhere, it's like hiding my identity from everyone to not get judged because of my look. And aside from that, I am an aspiring teen who wants to become a captain someday. So starting today I am motivating myself to strive harder in this way. I also used CAP as my camp name when I attended leadership training at Rafi Cool Adventure Camp last October at Balamban.
HOBBIES AND LIKES
What are those?
These are the things that we always do to be happy internally and occupy our leisures. Some of my hobbies and likes are playing badminton, watching the sky, using gadgets. By doing this, I can let myself rest and feel like no one will disturb me for it will break my relaxation.
Playing badminton is one of my hobbies. I enjoy doing this one playing with friends, classmates, or schoolmates. If I have spare time in school we can play and share a laugh. While playing badminton I feel like I'm free, catching every shuttlecock that throws at me. Even though I'm tired and sweating I can't feel it because I enjoyed my company, I enjoy the game, and I think that there's no other time to play with.
Watching the sky feels overwhelming. As I look up in the sky it takes out all the "Whys" in my head. The sky never fails me in clearing my mind, it gives me a very relaxing, calming, and relieving moment. After a very tough day, I need the sky to take charge of me, embrace me, and comfort me. I promise myself that I will not get tired of watching you.
Using gadgets lets me explore all over the world. Make friends from other countries and get information. When using my phone I don't mind the time being consumed, I distract myself by scrolling on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, etc. Gaining a lot of information from different perspectives makes my mind think outside of the box.
WHO INTRODUCED BLOGGING TO ME?
I didn't have any idea what blogging was but one of our subject teachers @callmesmile introduced Hive to us and what blogging is. And I attended the orientation about blogging at our school. The speakers were @indayclara and @ybañezkim26, they widened my understanding of blogging and Hive. They inspired me to be part of this community. As it will develop my writing and intellectual skills. Where I can apply it along my journey to college. I'll have a lot of knowledge that I can surely use in my studies. A big thanks to our teachers for always pushing us to put our best foot forward. They're one of the reasons why I stand and believe in myself that I can do it.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN MY FUTURE BLOGS
My future blogs will be probably all about my journey facing some challenges, happiness, excitement, achievements, etc. in my life. You will witness every memorable moment of mine and improvements. I believe that I am still or we are still an ongoing work of art, so I'm looking forward to my improvements. It is to inspire everyone to strive hard as well to achieve the desired goals.
I am open to connecting with everybody here in the Hive community. I am looking forward to making new friends around the world and sharing my journey with you. So that's it, thank you for sparing your time to read my introductory blog. Hoping to see you on my next blogs!!!
