Wait! Is that how we call ourselves, Steemians? Maybe it should be Steemitians? How about Steemers or Steemitics? Hahaha, whatever! Wazzup, Steemit world!
Some friends call me France, Francis, Isko, or Jun (I don't know why I don't like that nickname and I really wanna blame my dad for that! hahaha, jk!)
I have seen and have experienced the heat, pressure, and hardship in working as construction site engineer when I had my OJT in Monolith Construction and Development Corporation (which is now Monocrete I suppose) building the Robinsons Galleria located at Gen Maxilom Avenue in my city, Cebu.
Because of those, I decided not to try the field anymore but instead try a different path; to be a review instructor (come on! I'm not weak, am I? I just hate the way I looked working in the field. See that face! hahaha). Nope, that isn't the main reason but here it is: During my fourth year in college, I was at the point of which I thought I can't proceed any longer. I was terminated from being a working student at the university and it seemed like there was no other choice except to stop. Well, thank God, I did not, but instead I enrolled in GERTC's review, availing the free tuition privilege I got from a quiz competition. During the review, my instructor, which is now my current boss, noticed that I was good at Math for being just an undergrad. So he asked me to work for him as a researcher and apparently, I took the chance and did not waste it. That job made me survive till I graduated in April 2014, a month before I officially became a licensed Civil Engineer. With that debt of gratitude to him and passion to help more upcoming civil engineers, I keep my work as it has been starting right after I passed the board, to be a GERTC instructor.
I find this job so helpful to our nation's infrastructure industry because I feel like I can multiply myself. I mean, instead of being in a field, I could produce thousands of engineers to be sent anywhere. Yep, I have former students that are now working everywhere in the Philippines and abroad.
I took my bachelor's degree from Cebu Technological University. I did not graduate with a Latin honor and this made people wonder why I managed to be one of the top placers in our board exam. Not to brag but just want to inspire others that through determination, focus, and faith, we can get what we want to achieve. Unto God be all the praise!
I knew it at the end of my first year that I can't be a Cum Laude anymore no matter how I'll try because of a 2.8-grade I got during that early year. Instead, I struggled to become a quizzer to compete with other universities in the Philippines. With the help of my coaches, co-quizzers and especially God, I brought victories and raised the name of our school, winning many national and regional quiz competitions. Some of which I won together with our fellow steemian, master, lodi, petmalu, Engr Rizalino Caratao 
I think it's common to most male engineers, no, even to most men, that basketball is their favorite sport. I play other sports though, like football, table tennis, etc., but my heart is really for basketball. Sadly, the game doesn't have a heart, I guess, it's because I don't feel like the game loves me as well. Damn! Haha. What I'm saying is I'm not really good at it, but it is not all about that, is it? It is how you love the game, enjoy the plays, working with the team. Showing camaraderie with each other and respect to the opponents and "This is why we play" says the NBA. I also kill most of my time in watching NBA replays and game analysis on Youtube like coach Nick's BBALLBREAKDOWN channel. Aside from spending my time in basketball, I also love watching war films and documentaries, "sci-fi" and superhero movies such as Marvel films and series! Hahaha. I bet, we're all excited to see the Infinity War on the big screen, aren't we? :D
I first heard about Cryptocurrency from my co-instructors (Engineers Duaso and Canoy). They talked about simple buying and selling bitcoins in coins.ph just as like as doing the same with dollars. I was intrigued! So I created an account and found at that yeah, bitcoin is really good for investment. However, I didn't stop there, but looked for another cryptocurrency that is stable (as we know there are uncountable cryptos as of today that are mostly created by scammers). Yeap, I found it and invested some on it.
After some time, my former student introduced this platform to me and explained how can we earn (in forms of cryptocurrency) by just posting interesting blogs and even just commenting to some of the posted blogs. So now I'm here thanks to this Fil-Am steemian (as she claimed she is) Sheila Mae Unabia (
I'm excited to share many things to my fellow steemians about my life, experiences, travel and adventures, my knowledge in mathematics and sciences, sports, cryptocurrencies, health and financial freedom topics and most importantly about faith.
Have I wasted your time in reading these? Well, thank you! I really appreciate this attention. I really do. Hey, Happy New Year by the way! Let’s start this year with full of excitement! Let's connect with each other, let's STEEMIT together!
