I am a wanderer...... I move just as the wind.... Meet Iska

in GEMS3 years ago

My name is Blessing, but, I'll be using the name, @iskafan on hive. I have gone through the settings and found that I can shorten my username to @iska which I love very much because it's the name I wanted to sign up with.

I had to add the fan because while registering, the code script, told me, the name isn't available. Finding out that I can shorten it, regardless brought me joy.

I am choosing the name iska because it reminds me of the girl who sounded like a wanderer when I read the book, Iska, written by an African Writer, called Cyprian Ekwensi. I have a wanderer spirit, and my biggest dream is to see the world.

I am hoping that I'll be able to touch all spheres (maybe not all) of the earth, finding, and learning about other people's lives, religion, beliefs, culture, and share in the joy.

I didn't have any difficulty signing up for my account, however, I couldn't log in to my account using the hivesigner. I followed all processes, but I kept getting an error message regarding the keys that I used.

I had to resort to sign in using the peak lock, and I was able to breeze through smoothly. I am happy that I have been to reach this point where I am writing my introduction post.

I went through the community links and found lots of communities that I hope will be able to navigate and find friends. I happen to click on someone's profile while I was subscribing to the Gems community, and found that I will be needing resource credit to do anything I want here

So I followed the instructions I found on that person's profile, and went to the giftgiver, and received a 16 unit of HP. I am sure it won't be enough, but, I'll try to use it judiciously until I can earn mine through my posts

I am a beautiful lady with a lot of things to offer, and a space in my heart to learn. I am dark in complexion, I have a very beautiful face, and everyone tells me I am beautiful.

I am quite secretive, but, I want to talk to someone more, and I am going to use my hive account to tell stories about my life, my experiences, and the obstacles I am facing as regards a girl's world.

I promise I won't bore you, I have interesting life history, some may be sad, I have more happy memories than sad ones, so you will be pleased to be on my blog every day.

EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS

Right now, my educational qualifications are quite complicated. I will lead you into the full story in subsequent posts

For today, know that I am applying for Electrical Engineering at the University of Technology, Owerri, here in Nigeria.

Why?

I am an avid lover of computers and gadgets, and I have a strength in Numbers and Mathematics. I want to have a degree in Electrical Engineering while studying python programming language by the side so that once I am done, I'll move fully into Artificial intelligence and Robotics.

Artificial intelligence, my dream field

Next year, by the grace of the Almighty, I'll begin this journey.

You see part of the reason I'll be taking my hive account seriously is that my educational fundings will be gotten from here. This includes fundings for my Artificial intelligence dreams.

I want a situation where I will be able to pay my tuition fee, and still have some percentages left as a stake in the platform.

Favorite Food

vegetables-1006694_640.jpg
Food

I do not like soups, my favorite food is beans and ripe plantain. I can eat spoon food 365 days without getting tired. I find it difficult to eat soups except someone is joining me, and that person will be eating a greater portion of the dish.

Hobbies

I love reading with every fiber in me. I can stay all day just digesting a piece of material, trying to get into the author's head, and decipher his intent.

reading-925589_640.jpg
I love reading

I have read lots of books, ranging from 48 Laws of Power, Mastery, The Law of Human Nature, The Art of Seduction, The Art of Manipulation, The Adventure Capitalist, Secrets of a Nun, The Richest Man in Babylon, The Greatest Salesman, Memories of Moonlight, Master of the Game, Fab Five, The Godfather, Business Gurus, Eat that Frog, Rich Dad Poor Dad, Cashflow Quadrant, Why we want you to be Rich, The Millionaire Nextdoor, Your Money or Your Life, The 50th Law, to mention but a few.

I love strolling, but, I barely do it because I am mostly busy with my phone all-day

I love solitude too, I had to create space for others when I discovered, isolation is not good

Talent

I can sing. I guess apart from writing, that's the greatest talent that I have.

singer-84874_640.jpg
My voice, my pride

I am hoping one day I'll be able to dive into it and create a legendary through my voice.

Bestfriends

I have one. Her name is..... sorry, secret. 🥺

Fiancee

None for now. I am waiting to find myself first, and learn to love me, so I will be able to love him better.

couple-1209046_640.jpg
I am waiting for my lover

This is because I have come to understand that you can't love someone else more than you love yourself. You cannot give what you do not have.

Parents and Siblings

I have the best mom and dad in the world, and I am happy I met them alive and well.

hands-2847508_640.jpg
My family is the best thing that has happened to me

My siblings are amazing too, and I wouldn't know what I would do without them.

There are four of us, two girls, two boys. I am the first and I am a girl. 😊

Wildest Dreams

I want to be financially stable and secure that way, I will have enough time in my hands to seduce my future husband and my children. Lol(weird, right?)

accountant-1794122_640.png
Financial Stability gives room for other growth

Enough time in the sense that at some point, I won't have to worry about money, but, pay more attention to my family.

Deepest Secret

No more a secret.....I am a nymphomaniac. I like sex, but prefer it rough.

I am not sexually active after my last breakup because I do not want to have sexual disappointment if I am not satisfied with what I get(Gosh, this is awkward)

So, I'll wait......

There is so much more to me than this, I'll leave you to follow me so you can have access to more.

I am optimistic that I will enjoy hive, and that I will learn a lot. I am praying I won't be found wandering around too much (iska). I hope I will find a home here, and I will have every reason to stay

Thank you so much for having me, and for all the support I'll be receiving from everyone.

Cheers

Amazing! Welcome to Hive...

Love your intro post....love your name too...

I’ll like to ask how you found out about Hive.

I hope your plans come to fruition and I wish you a successful discovery of yourself this platform and everything that led you here.

See you around.

Thank you very much, sir

How I found Hive?

I must confess I like snooping around

I visited a friend and got hold of his phone

I stumbled on hive through his browsing history, I didn't have enough courage to ask him, I read a few posts

I got home, and created my account

I guess this is one of the reasons I want to stay anonymous, so he doesn't find out I know his secrets

Do you think this is wrong?

Come join other Nigerians on the platform on discord. So you can network, ask questions and get familiar if you don’t mind

You are my blessing, sir

I am on my way to the discord group

Thank you very much for the offer

erm....yes... but we all need to learn from our past. now is as good a time as any😂🙏

Ofcourse not, it’s your choice,... who or how you choose to be is totally up to you.

When I heard about Steem the guys talking about it weren’t even my friends, I basically only over heard and intruded into their convo and I went to open my account.

I see we have a common entry into this blogging platform

I am happy I met you, sir

Thanks again ☺️

Oh please with the sir 😫🤦‍♂️...I’m not even 30 yet.

There are interesting writing exercises going on within the hive naija community.

Check the latest one out here.

Okay. I was exploring the blockchain, commenting on posts when I came across this post… I’m not even gonna lie. I came to spy. Yes, turns out I’m a spy now. I wanted to see the face behind the angelic voice giving me sleepless nights (in a good way). So that’s how I got here.

I know I know. So weird huh? I’m very weird. I was determined to see your pic, so I scrolled till I got here. I finally made it and I was like “where is iska’s real pic?” Hehe.

You write well. Like, I love it. I really love it. I also love that you read a lot, and that you can sing (the most amazing part).

And Uhmm. About your deepest secret, I had to do a google search as I didn’t know the meaning of nym..(sorry I forgot how to spell it). I don’t know what to say about it😂. Nice?

I read like 10 other posts (before commenting on this one) Told ya, I’m weird. I’ll stop by them the next time I active my “weird/spy” mode.

Okay. No iska pic here, time to spyoff (apparently this is a word in my dictionary)

Hahaha

This is so weird and funny

I smiled till the end. No, I blushed 🙈

I hope you will put on your spyglass sooner because out of the 450+ posts that I made on this account, about half of them are about me. (You will find them right before I started writing financial posts)

A lot of things were shared. Personal stories. The truth. Raw. The way it happened. How I felt. Everything. It's one of the reasons you may not find my pictures because by reading my blog, you would find all my dirty secrets... Lol

Man! I wish I had read your introduction post before I wrote mine. I didn't fully express myself. I used pictured from 3 years ago (well don't blame me, I don't take pictures😂). I wish I could go back in time and write a full introduction post (I'll definitely add all the weird things I should've added).

I've got lots of questions (like 200). I'll put on my spyglass right after I complete this episode of Thundermans (and watch a few episodes of Spongebob). Except more from me. Ps: don't get tired.

Haha

Sorry about that you hear?

In your next life you'll do better... I am sure

Oh, he is enjoying cartoon. You are making miss those series 🥺

Seriously, thanks so much for visiting and dropping all these thoughtful comments. I appreciate you. 💕❤️💞

Hehe. In my next life.
You're welcome.❤️

I do not want to sound like a stalker and freak you out but I've been engrossed in your blog for hours and I am a little embarrassed and impressed that I got to your very first post😂
'i like sex', I'm tempted to ask you how old you are 😂
Amazing content, is it safe to say I'm addicted? Much love ❣️

'i like sex', I'm tempted to ask you how old you are

I like sex more than you do and I am 23 years of age.... Lol

Amazing content, is it safe to say I'm addicted? Much love

Awwwnnnn... Thanks a lot, this got me blushing 🙈🥵

I do not want to sound like a stalker and freak you out but I've been engrossed in your blog for hours and I am a little embarrassed and impressed that I got to your very first post😂

Oh my, this is a mind-blowing revelation. my head is spinning with pride. It's about to burst 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks darling. Welcome to Hive. I read your intro-post and your coach, @deraaa is a wonderful soul. And you have the best coach in the world. I am happy she brought you. I am happy to have you. I hope you have as much fun as we do.

Welcome to Hive, Baby

Talk of fun, I'm trying to be the most social I've ever been but I still feel a little left out
Does it get better?😩
Thank you ❤️

Does it get better? Of course it does.

Hold your breath, close yourself you can do this, open your eyes, and do it..... Lol... That sounded weird 🤣

For motivation, you are going to need to interact with people who appreciate you a lot. Look for those who make you smiles and grin to yourself whenever you read their posts and comments.

This place will become addictive, because you will be looking forward to a red dot on your profile picture every time you lift your phone.

For me, it only gets boring if I don't find that dot .. lol

If you still need answers, I'll be here. You have my attention 😊

Thank yoouuuu. I am already looking forward to the red dot🤣

Lol, it will be fun, I promise 🥰

I see you've met @iskafan, @ruthyann . I'm glad. I feel like a proud parent right now 😩

You are a good parent, and you should be proud of yourself 😊. It's a pleasure to meet your friend.

Welcome to the Hive community @iskafan!
We sincerely hope you find everything you are looking for and have found a new home here.

Seven suggestions to consider:

  1. Guard your passwords carefully, and only publish with the posting key,
  2. Use your active key only for wallet transactions, and Keychain,
  3. The owner password is only used to reset compromised passwords,
  4. DO NOT lose your passwords; copy and store offline,
  5. Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written, without credit, and be sure to source all of your work, even if it is your own.
  6. An introduceyourself tag is used only once, and
  7. Do Not open any links in memos or comments that you do not know who they belong to. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is, so the old saying goes. There is nothing free here.

I found you because @brittandjosie and @jamerussell from @heyhaveyamet presented and promoted your publication to get more exposure and help you grow faster.

If you find yourself overwhelmed and need some guidance, or if you have any questions, there are informed Hivians available who can help you; you can click to go to The Terminal in Discord here:

Have fun and happy Hiving!

Thank you very much for the tips, sir

I appreciate @brittandjosie, @jamerussell and @heyhaveyamet for my post promotion, I appreciate you guys

I'll be sure to swing by the terminal if I have difficulty, thanks again

Hive Power Up Month - Feedback from Day 7

How did I get here?

I love this intro... and I think the only reason I am reading it is because I wanted to actually see a photo of who would bear "iskafan"... My first thought was what kinda name is this?... Oh well, I know now...

And why am I bordering to comment?

Simple... Because while reading through the comments, I discovered how you found hive, and that hooked me... Damn! you snooped?... browser history? who are you? are you me?
Well, I guess that's all I will say since I am not so anonymous out here.

Welcome to Hive, albeit mine is a belated one.

Hahahaha... You are very funny.

Well, now you know what kinda person would bear iskafan. Wait, do you have something else for that name? Maybe a meaning or memory? I'll love to hear it.

Damn! you snooped?... browser history? who are you? are you me?

Yes, I am you.. lol. I like snooping around people's devices. I have to kill this spirit, it has brought lots of friendship to a close because of the hideous things I found in their devices. Phew ... There is no way I am stopping 🤣

Welcome to Hive, albeit mine is a belated one.

Thank you very much snooping partner 🙈😁

Wait, do you have something else for that name? Maybe a meaning or memory? I'll love to hear it.

Do I? I doubt I do. It is just those sort of names you see and wonder... What does he/she look like? What would such a name mean? And I like answers, which brings me again to our shared trait...

Yes, I am you.. lol. I like snooping around people's devices. I have to kill this spirit, it has brought lots of friendship to a close because of the hideous things I found in their devices. Phew ... There is no way I am stopping 🤣

I have pleeeeeeeeeeentyyyyyyyyy questions. Where do I start??? Oh, How I would love to snoop through your device! But really, I can relate though, to the "hideous" (though I would rather call them fearfully exciting) things to be found via snooping.. Jeez! I feel strangely dirty.. I am currently even keeping a sec... shhhhh.. wait.. Are you on discord?

Do I? I doubt I do. It is just those sort of names you see and wonder... What does he/she look like? What would such a name mean? And I like answers, which brings me again to our shared trait

I completely understand.

I have pleeeeeeeeeeentyyyyyyyyy questions. Where do I start???

He has pleeeeeentyyyyyy questions. Please ask me

Oh, How I would love to snoop through your device!

Hehehehe, there is nothing there. I have a friend who snoops around it while I sleep. I notice, he doesn't know I do. I don't know if he found what he is looking for. Maybe. Maybe not... Hahahaha

But really, I can relate though, to the "hideous" (though I would rather call them fearfully exciting) things to be found via snooping.. Jeez!

Fearfully exciting.... Never found these ones yet. Oh, except Hive. The ones I keep getting are fearfully panicking stuff(if that's a thing.. lol)

I feel strangely dirty.. I am currently even keeping a sec... shhhhh.. wait.. Are you on discord?

Hahaha, I am on discord alright. iska#1195

Thank you

Welcome to Hive.. Good to have you join the community.. I respect females in Engineering department by the way. They are superb geniuses.

If you love artificial intelligence, why not go for Mechatronics Engineering. I know they study it in owerri also. You would enjoy the course, i am sure of that because that's what I study too.

Oh no, I didn't know on time

I had already applied, just waiting for the list for next year admission

Are you currently studying or you're done already?

I am still studying... I am just in my 300 level.

Oh, that's nice

When I successfully gain admission, I'll meet you in person then

I can't wait to meet my senior colleague 🙈

Oh, I did not mention.. I am not schooling in owerri. I school at Abeokuta.

Oh, that's hurting, I was really looking forward to it 😭😭

Smiles.. Sorry ehn. Anyways, congrats on your admission in advance.

Wow, that is a lot of information. I need a Minute to comprehend.

All done, 😅. A photo of you would have being perfect, still, respect your decision. I think your friend won't mind you joined hive. Have is a community of people, and more people are welcome everyday. Hive is web3, the future of social media and freedom of speech so really, sooner or later you'd hear of it.

Anyways, I wish you a great and successful stay on here.

My one and only rule-

  1. Make friends. It's basically like a rule for life even. Make friends, communicate, interact, comment on people's post. Join communities, find like minded people. People are your greatest asset, and on hive, the best of them were selected to be here, well most of them.

Cheers, have a good one.

Hahahahaha..... I apologize for bombarding you with a lot of information

I'll make sure to make lots of friends ... Thank you ❤️❤️

Hi @iskafan , welcome to Hive! Great introduction! Hive can be a little intimidating at first, but there are always folks to help out when you come across a bump.

Good luck with school! Keep up the determination and I"m sure you're plans will come to fruition. Good luck finding a good enough guy, too; don't settle for anything less than you're satisfied with.

Can't wait to see more!

Thanks for your wishes and support, sir

Can't wait to see more!

I promise not to let you down

Wow.. this is a bomb intro post!
I could see the energy, bubbles and vibes as I read through.. it felt as though we're sitting and having a conversation 😄

Thank you very much for your wishes for me 🥺

You remind me of someone, from the way you write, to your love for books, and technology, and sex, and every other thing. Felt like she was the one writing but you have this flare about you that comes with ease.

Welcome to the Hive, looking forward to reading more posts from you

I'll look into it, sir, thank you
