Hello Steemit! :-) :-) :-) Hello Steemians! :-) :-) :-) Please do welcome me :-) :-) :-)

Hello Steemit community!
Please do extend my thanks to someone special Hive account@dimitrya123 who introduced me here at Steemit :-) :-) Thank you so much Dimi :-)
:-) :-) actually he shared to me Steemit weeks ago but I just joined days ago. The first thing I did, I'm just reading about steemit and the quick start guide. I am very happy to what I am reading. It is really good and interesting. I will now start posting and sharing my stories here :-) and of course, will start connecting with Steemians :-)
Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Ria Ignacio from Leyte, Philippines and working in Cebu City, the Queen City of the South. As you heared and seen from news how controvensial our country is, most particularly extra judicial killings. Then in Mindanao at Marawi, our president declared martial law because of Maute group attack. Then in Luzon at Resort Word Manila a terror attack. In Visayas, a super typhoon yolando that taken the lives of many filipinos way back 2013. Stories of survivors most especially my friends, family and relatives really broke my heart. A very horrible part in our lives. Thanks God we survived!
But still it's more fun in the Philippines! :-) :-) :-) whatever tragedy comes in our lives we still smiles no matter what. :-) :-) :-)
