welcome to steemit, guUurl.

in #introduceyourself8 years ago (edited)

I am 18 years of age and I am an incoming college freshman this August. I'll be taking up Bachelor of Science in Tourism Management. By the way, I am from the Philippines, where the best beaches and the best food were found. I mean, there are lots of reasons to visit our country, not just only because of the beaches and the food. Come and visit our country to know what I am actually talking about. 

 Going back to introducing myself, I would like to tell everyone how much I love dogs so much. So I am looking for some mutuals out there. Where ya girls and boys who love dogs? I would love to share my doggo stories with you guys. 

I am actually running out of things to say, to be honest. We have this "sabaw" term that we use here in the Philippines when we're actually running out of things to say. I'll be back with this post as soon as I have organized my thoughts. I need eight hours of sleep (or more).

Hello ausejofi! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

  1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
  2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
  3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
  4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
  5. Have Fun and Enjoy!

Welcome nice to have you here , maybe you are lucky to be joining when steem is at a really low price . When price is low less people are posting and you have a better chance to earn steem . I highly recommend you post a lot and keep on posting . Till you get to at least 15 Steem Power. Don’t give up . I don’t recommend you buy Steem Power but I do recommend you post often till you get to 15 Steem Power. If you can not post go ahead and make sure to vote at least 6 times when you wake up and 4 times when you are going to bed . No more and no less

Hi Fiona! I have friends with family in the Philippines, and they travel back there often. I've never been there, but many of their relatives came here (To New York) for their daughter's birthday party, and I got to meet them all - they were so warm and kind! They made so many food dishes, many of which I had never eaten - it was so good! It must be a wonderful place to live.

So welcome to Steemit, I hope you have fun. Here's a picture of me and my mini-schnauzer! She's totally white - a rare find!
