Konnichiwa minasan! I’m here to explore and gain new experiences in Hive.
Will share my experiences, hobbies, wants, interests and events in my life. Looking forward to share experiences with you guys.
ABOUT ME
Konnichiwa! You can call me James and I am 21 years of age currently located at Compostela, Cebu. Currently finished 3rd year college at Cebu Technological University Danao Campus, pursuing the course Bachelor in Industrial Technology major in Computer. I am not really vocal but when we are close enough, I can vibe with you. I enjoy playing video games like Valorant and Mobile Legends. I really like being competitive on games but now I’m focusing on living life rather than being really competitive so I’m playing games for fun as of now. I enjoy going to gym and riding motorcycle also.
PASSION / INTERESTS / HOBBIES
I might have a lot of hobbies guys so I put guides for you to skip to the one you can relate to😅 but you can read all also if you want.
(ML ERA)
Before, during my junior highschool days, I played a lot of games, especially mobile legends. We really enjoyed playing games with my classmates and decided to join the school tournament. The tournament was at LCC-L. We decided to try, so we joined and we also have jerseys because we really want to try.
At the end, we ended up taking 1st runner up but it was so close to the championship. Our lower year colleague took the championship, they were better that time. A lot of the viewers were expecting for us to win that time because of our jerseys, they thought we were so coordinated or organized but little do they know we were not that good enough😅.
(VALORANT ERA)
This time, after grinding real hard on ml and stopping, I found this game called Valorant on PC. At first, I was overwhelmed by the game because there was so much happening. I’ve played for hours and adapted to the game, got competitive with the game and stuff. After some grinds, playing with friends also. Taking the game seriously, I’ve reached Diamond 1.
I’m not that crazy good at this game but I’ve hit crazy headshots, flicks and aces also😅. At first, I don’t have that good gaming PC, I started with 75hz max refresh rate with 1366x768 resolution monitor but I reached Diamond 1 on this setup😅.
(MOTORCYCLE ERA)
This is the time I touched grass guys. This is the time I realized that going out and witnessing how great mother nature is, will change your perspective in life. Once I started riding a motorcycle, I really felt free and I really enjoyed the feeling of it.
At first, I got smash 110 from my uncle who passed away. I got it because there was no other person who can use it. My grandmother decided to give it to me so I decided to get a driver’s license. After I got my driver’s license, I enjoyed it for a year and had a lot of experiences with it.
After using it for a year, I decided to get my own motorcycle to really enjoy and upgrade my experience on riding. I decided to get Aerox 155 (Standard Version Glossy Black). I found this motorcycle really good looking and the performance will also be great in my opinion. After I got this motorcycle, this was the time I really felt free because of the condition it was really good at climbing, at curves especially at Busay, Cebu. You will really enjoy this bike.
(GYM ERA)
I started going to the gym a long ago with one of my classmates but it ended after a month. I decided to take it seriously last Christmas December 25, 2023. I started at our hometown Compostela, there was a small gym in our town there and it was 40 pesos per session. After like 3 months there, they sold the place so I moved to our school gym at CTU Danao Campus. The gym there was free so I was glad because I won't have to worry about paying for every session anymore.
But by the time the school year ended, it was no longer free and students cannot go to the gym anymore because there are no classes. So I decided to go to Liloan and found the Conqueror’s Gym there. It was a bit expensive. It was like 100 pesos per session (for students) and 850 pesos per month (student rate). But I grabbed it because I like the ambience there and their equipment is complete so it was a really good gym for me.
I was consistent for 6 months straight from December 25, 2023 - June 2024. But in June, this was the time I wanted to buy my dream motorcycle so I decided to be a working student. I got hired as a call center agent at Concentrix. It was on IT Park Cebu and I was working 11pm - 8am and my school schedule was 4pm - 9pm so I really don’t have time to go to gym anymore because I it was so traffic on my home and I will be at home mostly 10am, have to eat and sleep at maybe 11 then wake up at 3pm so it was really tight.
I stopped for 6 months at the gym. I also stopped my work after 6 months because it was so hard, most of the time I only have 4hrs sleep. So now I hopped back on the gym and looked to be consistent again.
REASON FOR JOINING HIVE
I decided to join Hive because I want to explore new skills, possibilities and experiences. I want to share my experiences in life to everyone and spread motivation. At first, I really don’t think I can write some blogs because I don’t think I have the skill to do it. I am also not that creative with words and I really hate writing before also. Especially essays on exams, I really hate it😅.
But I said to myself that everything can be learned and failure does not mean that you should stop, it means you should learn from your failure and use it to your success. So here I am, writing my very first blog not to brag but to inspire anyone who needs it. I want to join Hive a- lso because I want to meet different people and expand my view on people. I want to learn from different people also.
WHAT CAN I CONTRIBUTE
I think I can inspire people to do something good or be able to do something rather than just laying on bed doing nothing. I will be writing blogs mainly to inspire people. That is my goal, to free people from feeling tired or feeling useless. Everyone has a purpose in life. No man is an island as the quote says.
Being able to motivate or inspire someone to do something good is a really big success for me. For example, you inspired one person to go to gym instead of laying in bed eating junk foods and watching movies is a good thing for me. So inspiring / motivating everyone would be my goal.
HOW DID I GET TO KNOW HIVE
Honestly, my girlfriend @kayela is the one who introduced me to Hive. She told me that she has been writing blogs on this platform. She said you can share your life experiences here freely and can express your feelings here. She invited me here but at first I was hesitant because as I’ve said, I really hate writing😅. But one day, I said I will give it a shot and will see how it goes.
So I attended the Hive orientation last May 1, 2025. It has been a while now😅 but I decided to try it now and test my skills if I have it. Thanks to Miss @jeannamazing for hosting the orientation and was very informative on the do’s and dont’s on Hive. She was really orienting us on what Hive really is.
She really highlighted that Hive has no toxic people so that motivated me to write also because it is toxic-free and is a really healthy community. Giving us a heads-up on Hive really boosts our confidence to write blogs and be free.
THANKS EVERYONE!!!
This will be all for me😅 I hope you guys learned something and I’m sorry for any redundant information if there’s any😅 because this is my first time writing guys.
Aight best of luck to all of us everyone! Just remember to live life, don’t stress yourself too much. Give yourself time, think and decide when you’re calm. May we all succeed in life everyone, Godspeed! 🤞💪
