All is well and here I am to do an introduction of myself to Mrs. #Hive and her Community and for the people outside the platform.
Hello everyone and hope that who ever is reading this at the moment is fine and safe.
To be honest, I had to search on google for a Slam book to see what kind of questions should I be going through so I would have answers turned into me writing about myself.
So here goes...
My name is...
Angeline Rafael and here online, my friends and followers know me as "Erela Refael".
Why the screen name? Because of security purposes? I think it helps.
Anyway, Angeline was derived from the name "Angel" and in Hebrew it is "Erela".
My last name is Rafael and I learned that in Hebrew, "Rafa" means "to heal" "cure". This name existed since the time of King David.
I loved stories from the Bible, even movies. So I took both names and used them as my online screen name.
Currently, I am engaged to Aldrin Cayanan and we are both from the Philippines and living here in the United Arab Emirates.
I on the other hand, have been living here in the UAE since 1989.
That makes me 36 this year and have been living amongst generous & wealthy Emirati Nationals for 31 years.
During my spare time, I prefer to watch movies or sing a song. Then there's the internet which allows me to go online #Hive, #Google, #Facebook, #Tiktok #Instagram, #StarMaker, #Youtube and so many other platforms where you can connect with people in different ways, especially when you don't have siblings in the house.
I'm an only child. It has its benefits and disadvantages as well.
I think the best part is that when you want to be alone, have peace and quiet, you get it at once.
The saddest part is when I can't stay too long with friends who bully each other for fun. I am more of a sensitive type and when not in the mood and someone is joking, giving out comments, criticizing - I end up hating. So I'd rather not engage especially when I haven't opened up to the person. But don't get me wrong, I love being around people and making friends.
Dreams...
There's so many things I'd like to do and achieve in my life. I'm a dreamer and I know I have to stop sitting on them and start doing.
Some of my realistic dreams is to learn how to use Adobe's featured products - Premiere Pro, XD, Dreamweaver, After Effects and more.
When I was only 10 years old, I learned how to play the piano. Unfortunately, I forgot now and would like to learn how to read music notes again.
I also love being online and have gained interest in #Bitcoin and #Etherium, plus earning through posts, I would like to learn more about #Cryptocurrency and how I can make a living out of it. Or just stick to my passion and discover something to do with it for my #passiveincome and even try #affiliatemarketing Why not?!
I love singing, it is one of my passions. I've been singing since I was 7 years old. As long as I have music, I know I'll be fine. You might have noticed my posts with my covers.
Here's one of my favorite covers that I did. It was arranged by a very good friend of mine.
Stone Cold popularized by Ms. Demi Lovato.
About food! Of course I love eating! Who doesn't love McDonalds?! Food is a common ground for me and my fiance. He loves to cook and we both love eating. My mom too, although she's a diabetic. So she's more controlled. For me and my whole group of closest friends, we just love eating. Plus Coffee!
I'm not much of a fan of reading books, but I do love seeing so much of them especially those old ones.
My favorite book is "How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie"
My principle and motto in life is:
Criticism is futile because it puts a person on the defensive and usually makes him strive to justify himself. Criticism is dangerous, because it wounds a person's precious pride, hurts his sense of
importance, and arouses resentment. So don't criticize. Appreciate. There's always a way to correct mistakes without being harsh.
So I guess that's all about me.
