Hello Everyone here at Hive! Allow me to introduce myself and welcome to my small world zel-diaries!

I am Josziel Buenconsejo an aspiring Educator in the future (I literally indicated the word “future” hoping that I can still see this post 5 years from now or more haha) I’m literally rooting for myself! You may be wondering why the spelling of my name sounds unique, well I will be sharing to you why the spelling of my name is different from the typical “Josel” we all know. My name is the combination of our National Hero here in the Philippines which is Jose Rizal, why? Because I have the same birthdate with our National Hero, interesting right? my parents scrambled his name to form my name which is Josziel, why I share this with everyone? Well since when I was a kid they usually asked me about my name why is it spelled like that and I keep on explaining to them the real reason and I just started to become used to it. I was born in Manila and became an Island girl in Bicol where I lived for 4 years and became a city girl again. Living in a countryside was a wonderful experience for me, where all you can see is the nature, my healing place. I decided to became a city girl again and I chose to live in the Queen City of the South, Cebu Philippines where I foster my journey in life and thinking that I will be here for good. Upon growing up I always dreamt of being a journalist, a writer in any field and a writing enthusiast. Though I wasn’t able to make that dream come true, Hive community will help me reach that dream of mine (I’m rooting for this haha) I’m into posting and writing about my life, what I’m doing and my life being a book lover, a traveler, a foodaholic and a study buddy.

Why I joined Hive?

Someone introduces me this platform and by just hearing about the things that they usually do here I became interested and literally my excitement really burst out. They said I’m a type of a private person (well I admitting that is true haha) and I just love sharing my life journey. They encourage me to join Hive because everything that they do here is all the things that I love doing as well which is sharing what you love. Writing and posting, that’s my coping mechanism to relieve my stress and any negativities in my life. I’m still in the phase in introducing myself to all of you here in Hive and honestly I’m getting more excited and I feel like my heart is bursting and I can’t wait to share my small world and my life diaries with all of you!

What are the things you can look forward in my account?

Traveling

I think all of us loves traveling, some they used it for fun, for work, for exploration and some (including me) used traveling to heal and cope up with everything. I do love exploring different places with different stories and histories behind it. I love visiting places with past histories and stories and try to relate myself to it. Because I do believe that every nice place has their own bad or good stories in the past. I do love visiting historical places, like different churches, museums, gallery art and most of all places where all you can see is nature. As I’ve mentioned earlier that nature is my healing place, its my comfort zone where I can do things freely without any judgement from others. I think this is the activity that I can’t stop, because I do believe that exploring is a lifetime choice and I will not stop exploring until my last day here in the world. You will also see how much I love being surrounded with nature.

Study Journey

If you may ask, I’m the type of person where I can sit on my chair and be infront of my table for how many hours just to study. Yes you heard it right (you can freely imagine how I do it lol). To tell you honestly I have a nickname in our house, they call me a “paper girl” because of how I love being in front of papers for how many hours. I do have different kinds of papers and pens where I collect. They always tease me that I look like I do have a school supplies store in my room (which I realized its true haha). I study not just my college course but I also study different fields out of curiosity. Honestly I also dreamt of being a Doctor of Medicine which i’m currently studying on my own, if I can take two courses I will do it (if my brain can do it also hahaha) I will be sharing to all of you my study journey, how I study and the techniques that I’m using for a better study time.

Reading books as my form of Meditation

Reading books is my form of meditation. As you’ll know that I’m a book lover. In any where I go I always bring a book with me to read. I do love reading motivational books, that’s also my way of helping myself to conquer things. Everytime I read a book I feel like I’m in a different world. Since I was young I usually borrow books from my seniors or go to the library. Honestly I’m an introvert type of person, where I love being with my own company and books is my side partner. In this I will be sharing to all of you what books I love reading, my book recommendations, how I read and understand effectively. I will also be sharing how I cope up with everything through reading books and self-care habits that I usually share with everyone.

Food Exploration

Food is part of our life journey. Because of my partner I started to love eating different kinds of foods, and I’m still trying to try an exotic ones (if I can haha) I am not a good cook, just an average one and I’m still trying to learn new dishes and share it to everyone. I do love trying foods in different places I’m going to. Trying and tasting different delicacies from different places Is one of my goal. Because that is where I try to learn how the people from different places live and differ from each other in a very special way. I will be sharing my food exploration to all of you here in Hive.

I’m way more excited in sharing my stories with the Hive community.

I would like to give my sincerest appreciation to @Sabukid Blog and ofcourse to @Patsitivity for onboarding me here in Hive. I am more excited to meet new people with their inspiring stories in life.

Hope you enjoyed hearing my life diaries, there’s more to share!
Always take care and just smile,
Love, from zel-diaries💜
