Soooo, what's up? Hi I'm lilooi. I was born and am currently living in the queen city of the south, Cebu, Philippines. I'm currently a first year college tourism student, and I love eating. I am the precious middle child among my two siblings—an older sister and younger brother.

##### Interest/ Hobbies:
So what's my interest? — My interest is to explore various things, but I'm currently centering myself on writing. I also read various books—mostly romcom. I also read from other platforms and medias, ranging from Wattpad, Webtoon, manhwa, manga, and BL manga.
So my hobby is to explore every taste of food, from pastries to different kinds of food.
> Fun fact: I'm really a fan of spicy foods, especially spicy noodles. I do like taste testing spicy ramen and noodles, from local noodles to international ones.
Further, I like tasting beverages too, but I'm not really that much of an explorer in terms of beverages because they can be expensive, and as of now I don't have the means—but maybe someday. Also, I like traveling especially to mountains, I like hiking and taking pictures on the scenery. I do explore forest because I somehow felt a certain attachment to it—how the rays of the sun hit the leaves, how the wind brushes the trees that it makes comforting sound. I love to be surrounded by trees and mountains. *Or is it perhaps I am reincarnation of a forest bug or worm?*
During my free time I do journaling. I write about my moods and feelings, keeping track of what's currently going inside myself. I usually write it in my daily diary on my mobile notes, and if it's more personal, I write it in my trusted notebook. I organize my space too, but sometimes I have difficulty in finishing them. I have this weird hobby of collecting ballpens. I mean, it's not only ballpens but various things. Why do I keep them? — I don't know; I just feel sentimental about them, especially when they hold special memories and attachments.
Also, when I'm alone, I usually stay silent, think many random things which are mostly the odd ones and supernatural things. I have this interest in exploring supernaturals and mystical things related such as myths and legends, may it be from our locality or something that's from outside our country. I write and watch videos about summoning a portal to another world, how to meet your other self and how to meet your guardian spirit—odd right? I just really want to explore the unexplored things, and it's something I can't ignore.

##### Why I drift here??
So my reason for joining Hive is to explore my limit in writing and to test if writing is really my forte. If it isn't, I would like to learn and improve more here through interacting with people around the communities all across the world in this platform. Since I'm the type of person who doesn't have a fixed hobby, I'm trying to see if I can keep myself doing this. I'm a talkative person, so I'm not sure if I will do good in sharing them through writing. I'm a sentimental one, I do always record moments and keep valuable things, so I might as well use writing to write my discoveries and my travels to record them and keep them frozen in time.
Moreover, I want to use writing to discipline myself, I usually do procrastinate, I'm like a buzzer beater. I only have the energy to work if it's like an hour before the deadline or minutes, but thankfully I mostly pass all my works just before the deadline. By the way, one of my goals why I'm here is that I will use writing to discipline myself in using my time wisely. Also, I will use writing to focus more on myself rather than things that could distract me. So I hope this will work.

##### What can I contribute?
First of all— I don't know. I'm still not sure what my first blog will be, but one thing I can say is my blog will center around my experiences and reviews. I aim to spread positiveness through my writing and words. I also want to promote the beauty of the Philippines in my blog, the loveliness of local tourism, and to share some glimpses of my daily life—more like daily blogs. To dive more, I was thinking my blogs will start on promoting a store, any various store, like a fan girl store, merch or any things, I will also include about the place and other important information. So that will be a short peek on my next blog! If you're interested then you can check out my future next blog.

##### What good air brought me here?
So the one who introduced me to this is my older sister. She was also a member of this group, but her content was really opposite to mine. I was really thankful that she introduced me to this kind of community. My sister and I, was like a partner in crime, we became best friend because obviously we don't have a choice. I mean when were fighting we don't have a choice to peace out because we live in a same house.
For the past few months, I noticed she became busy with her phone. I ask her out what is she busy about, typing and watching animes and buying books then reviewing it afterwards. She answered she will share it to her blog. I was curious was this blogging all about, so she introduced me to this, it's like a writing community. I was curious and interested that's why I enter this platform, and when I get to know more of it, I immediately saw it as a helping hand to me, to realign myself back. By the way if you're interested with my sister blogs, you can check out her account: @ridgette; she was good at giving reviews of anime and books.
Also, I want to express my gratitude to the one who oriented and onboarded me sir @intoy.bugoy. I'm definitely thankful for the time and effort you've allotted in guiding us newbies, and for that I'm grateful!
So again it's me, your **liloiii** and hopefully you'll support me on my journey here!
***Thank you!***
