Something about Renato

Greetings of Peace and Good Health Steemians!

This is my first time to set foot in steemit. And i'm excited to be part of this wonderful community. Before anything else allow to introduce myself as simple as possible. My name is Renato and it stands for 

R - Resourceful

E - Energetic

N- Nice

A - Affectionate

T - Tough

O - Optimistic

Resourceful  I define myself being a resourceful person for the reason I have been through many difficult situation and challenging circumstances such as surviving from several typhoons incidents, lost my house from fire, gone through numerous flash-floods and other natural calamities to name a few. Growing up in an average family molded me to become a resourceful individual in order to survive a day and place a meal in the plate and meet both ends in a daily basis for the sake of my family. At young age I have experience many jobs in order to earn a few peso. Tough times are open doors for me to become creative, courageous and brave to face all challenges in life.    

Energetic Living in a family who barely survive a day due to poverty and poor access of social services, one must step up and cheer the gloomy side of the family. Being the eldest of the family I wanted to bring joy and happiness in the four corners of our house. I mostly do funny stuff and out of this world jokes just to paint a smile and bring laughter inside our home. The endless energy within comes from the passion and thought of sharing joy and positivity despite of our tough and rough condition.   

Nice We may be an average family but my parents up bring me with positive attitude and personality. They taught me to be nice to everyone who ever they maybe. Give respect to all form of life and species. Understand things and situation in a positive perspective. Which is why they tagged me as a “Nice person”. Being nice to everyone is simply being at peace of yourself. It feels fulfilling and rewarding when people say “thank you” for the nice gestures/deeds you’ve shared to others. My mom used to say share kindness to the world and the world will reward your kindness at the unexpected moment of your life. Such compliment move me and became the framework of my life.  

 Affectionate People who knows me at home say I’m a person who is loving person. And I totally agree with it. Living in a family who love, cared, respect and understand each other mold me to become affectionate to my fellow human being from all walks of life. This tender part of me comes from my caring mother where she open up the kind hearted part of me. As mentioned by my siblings lets promote love and devalued hate. That piece made a big spark within me as who I am today.     

Tough I have undergone all types of harsh condition in life poverty, broke, hunger, calamities, death of love ones, depression, traumatic incidents, arm conflict and others. This violent and brutal conditions gave birth to a stronger person in me. The rough times of my life develop the flexible character and personality within me. Those tough times not just made me tough and strong, it also took me the roadway of my maturity.  As what my mother says this is all pass. All we can do now is strengthen our faith to God and to each other. That thought left a big spot in my heat that nurture who I am today.   

Optimistic Coming from a family who look at things as a positive opportunity no matter how bad it is, cultivate the optimistic mindset in me. This kind of perspective improve my way of understanding and perceiving things in life no matter how troublesome it might be. The optimistic part of me inhabits within allowed me to remain calm regardless of the situation or circumstances I am confronting at. A part of me express good vibes/ energy despite many conflict, problems, and trials arise. As my father side worrying won’t help change the situation so better accept things as they are and utilize all the resources you have to survive from it. That message left a huge mark in my life that enhance the humanity in me.    

Few more facts and information about me. 

Renato Rhaine Pepito a Filipino by heart with a diverse bloodline. (Half Spanish, Half Portuguese, Half Malaysian Bukidnon Lumad and Half Japanese). At the young age Renato have traveled many places in the country to name a few Bukidnon, Davao, Cebu, Manila, Batangas, Pampanga, Mindoro, Bacolod, Negros and more. This type of opportunity made him attracted to traveling. His experiential learning about different culture, tradition, customs and way of life made him mature and progressive in many ways and sometimes beyond his expectation. Even until now he still love to travel and learn more about the world he live in and the people who reside on this planet. 

Traveling for him awaken his positive thoughts, viewpoint, perception and perspective in life. Entails to traveling, he is also an adventurer who loves adrenaline rush activities and sports such as mountain climbing, trekking, wall climbing, water rafting, caving, spelunking, kayaking, snorkeling and other outdoor action packs events. Some think of him as an outdoor fanatic with the kind of life he lives in. Doing wild and outrageous adrenaline tricks and deeds just to satisfy his urge for adventure. Adventure and Traveling won't be complete if there's no remarkable resemblance of such moment and the instant he discover his love for photography. 

Photography for him is a digital form of art where he finds solitude, peace and fulfillment. It made him capture one or two magnificent occurrences that represent his inner self and symbolize the majestic beauty of Mother Nature. Through Photography he discovers many things about life and how it revolves in a process that inspired not only himself but also the people around him. His photography gave birth to many opportunities not for him but also to those who seek that different types of freedom and fulfillment that can only be found through the lens of photography.  But what really seizes his heart is the calling of serving people. Yes, he is a front line when it comes to providing services to others. He volunteered not just to help but to assist and attend the needs of those marginalized and destitute individuals who are abandoned, neglected, taken for granted, deserted, mistreated, ignored and unloved by the society and the people around them.

Lastly, i would like to say thank you to someone close to me named @jeraterta for inviting me in this wonderful community. I hope you have a crystal clear vision of who and what i am. Looking forward to be part of this awesome group. See you around guys. Have a wonderful day.
