We're proud to say that we are both rich in terms of friends and family, but admittedly, we couldn't say the same about our pockets. (Yikes!) In our heads, we are still mere kids. We "want" like five-year-olds, we "wish" like seven-year-olds. Reality hits hard, though, when we're faced with work loads and financial obligations. Journeying into legit adulthood since June last year was seriously taking its toll: so many things to think about and due dates to note.

Thus welcome, The Poor Kids Inside.

We are a duo from the Philippines, who are about to journey through life together in the coming days. Thinking about our monthly dues induces loud "YIKES!" from the both of us, hence this Steemit communal account. We plan to post our daily lives here.

We are Aira @erangvee and Hazel @travelingmercies, and we're both physicists from the Philippines. At present, Aira works as a data scientist and researcher at a government agency while Hazel attends graduate school for MS in Physics and works for a laboratory at a physics institute that's well-known in the science community here in the country. 

Truly, both of us work hard for the love of science, but we're both into the arts, too!

For example, @erangvee loves to draw. Below are some of her artworks that she posts here on Steemit, too.

Currently, Aira aims to learn to paint with watercolors, and has started with her journey since last week. She hopes to be good at it in the near future, and perhaps make a living off of it.

Photography is where @travelingmercies' expertise lies. For keeps. That's how she describes her want and love of photography. The colors - those were exactly what makes ordinary days a deep box of treasures.

Hazel loves to take photos of her day. It's not always that she gets to stop for a while and breathe in the moment. Image Credits to @travelingmercies

As earlier mentioned, we are both physicists. Our interest in the sciences was challenged, however, when we were in college. It wasn't easy.

Perhaps you could say that Physics was among our first heartbreaks (if not the first heartbreak). We failed many times, but that was the exact reason we strove harder. We looked forward to the future, look forward to it still. 

Now, we both enjoy our own fields that do not fall far from our college specialization: computational physics. 

Our 5'1" average height is undeniably tiny compared to the giants called obligations. So we hope that with Steemit, we can see these obligations and dues eye-to-eye. With this account, we hope to share how we'll work on this journey every day, and hope to see our growth immortalized in the steem blockchain.
