Hello and good day, everyone! My name is Rosa Mae C. Retubado, and I am excited to share with you about myself. I am 17 years old, turning 18 in August. I was born and raised in Umapad, Mandaue City. First child and the eldest grandchild of the family, with seven younger siblings.
Following are my younger brothers and sisters, namely: Jhun Mar, Mario Jr., Marlyn, Mark, Maxrill, Maxpein, and Rovelyn. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture with Marlyn.
When I started to study at Elementary, I was moved to Bogo City because my grandparents are there and both my parents are working at that time.
And when I was in 3rd grade, My auntie made me transfer to the city because she was going to let me live with them (with her son-Elizir) so I stayed there for a long time until I was in junior high.
When I was in 8th grade, my mom made me transfer to Naga because they are residing in City of Naga, Cebu. As of now, I currently reside with my family in City of Naga, Cebu.
I engage in a variety of enjoyable and relaxing activities in my own leisure time. Just like buying what I want, wandering in cities with my grandma, visiting our province, and going to the beach.
Watching anime helps me feel better because it immerses me in compelling narratives and colorful animations. Most of it, you can see that it's just screenshots of what I read and watched because I only use my cellphone.
Another of my favorite things to do is read novels and comic books, as they let me explore a variety of their own tales and I can escape from reality into other fantasy stories.
And, of course, I treasure my downtime, relishing the small joys of sleeping (please don't mind my super thin hair, that's my natural hair HAHAHAHAHA) and, lastly, eating the foods I want.
These activities not only provide entertainment for me but also serve as a delightful escape from the demands of daily life.
Because of my passion for reading novels, I became interested in trying blogging because blogging is about what you're interested in or what you'd like to write in a blog. I also like to learn to blog, but it's based on myself and somehow on my experiences in life.
But I know that I am not very good at composing words, so I will do my best to try as much as I can. Also, to learn more about how to write a blog, I'm looking for ways to improve myself.
I can contribute to Hive in multiple ways, starting with active participation in discussions and conversations within the community.
And I can contribute to this community because I am willing to learn and gain your trust, as I will listen and follow the rules and regulations of this platform. I can share knowledge, ideas, and insights by having meaningful conversations, which promotes teamwork.
Furthermore, I can support others by providing assistance and guidance, especially to newcomers seeking to navigate and understand Hive. Through my regular constructive contributions to the community, I hope to develop a sense of growth and unity within Hive, a platform that depends on the knowledge and cooperation of all members.
I did not know that this platform existed until (Ma'am @Chimegipamus introduced me to it, which is Hive. Ma'am @Chimegipamus explained briefly about the hive and what the benefits are if you join blogging.
Also during our orientation, Sir @intoy.bugoy elaborated more on what should be done in the hive community, and he also explained that it is a different platform.
Sir @intoy.bugoy explained well to us about the hive community, and they also let us play a game about the orientation that they've discussed with us.
Let's keep in mind to acknowledge and encourage one another's accomplishments as well as to get through difficult times as we explore, learn, and develop together. Our passion and common experiences are what make our community strong.
So, let's keep the conversation going, continue to inspire each other with a smile of hope, and look forward to what the future holds. Never forget that every little bit counts and shapes our community.
Thank you for reading my introduction and my first ever blog. Until next time, stay curious, stay inspired, and keep creating!
