First and foremost, I would like to thank everyone who has supported my arts and crafts, especially here in the Hive & Steemit community; I should say that I learned a lot from you. And I was also able to fund many things in my life, including the charity that I started at @creativestreet. With the help of @deveerei and many Filipino writers and Creator, a community grew here. I meet many people. I hope to meet some of you in person too!

I recently came back from a long hiatus, and I am thankful to find a Filipino community here on the Steemit platform.

And I think I have been reborn. Digitally

So here we go:

I am Gini Aala, they call me like that, sometimes Gin / Djinn / Gene ~

I love my name as it means the Beginning.

I was born in 1993. and I am working as an engineer now, although I might not look like one, I really love my job. It's one of my favourite thing to do in life, aside from painting and biking. I also love to dye my hair in random colours. I love talking to people, but sometimes it drains me, but I still love to listen.

ART

I have been into art ever since I was a child. My parents said that I started to hold scissors and pencils and drew them on every house wall. Now I can say that I am an artist not by profession but by passion. I had art exhibits here in our place; most are within Metro Manila and Cavite.

I love to paint using acrylic and oil. My favourite subjects are women's faces and small animals. In 2018 I discovered the beauty of using Earth colour palettes and using textured backgrounds. And I put my love for the frogs here on my paintings.

Aside from traditional paintings, I also love doing digital portraits; I use Procreate and Photoshop now. Before, I only use mobile applications like Medibang and Sketchbook.

ADVENTURE

I guess everyone in us craves an adventure. I bought my first bike last year to fulfil this dream. And I go to some forest-like places, some of them have enchanted rivers and rock formations, most of them have beautiful trails. I love to spend my free days in forests and feel the trees and earth talking to each other.

CHARITY

I started a group called Creative Street (@creativestreet) in May of 2018. It is a collective of young Filipino artists and volunteers aiming to teach and share skills via art workshops and outreach programs to the Filipino youth, especially to the street children and out-of-school youth. We have conducted number of workshops with the help of many people in and outside the Steemit community!

PHOTOGRAPHY

I love capturing the sky, especially sunsets and twilight. It is the most magical time of the day for me. It feels like the sun is calling me. I also love capturing portraits of my friends.

MUSINGS

I had a lot of realizations when I was alone walking or biking, especially during twilight. I say them aloud, but I forgot some details when I am about to write them down. I also wanted to record myself while I'm in the zone of musing, but I forget about it, so when you see my musings here on Hive, it's a miracle~

I guess that's all I can share for now. I hope to know you as well
