To live in solitude is what I always wanted.
I was born with an introverted personality, but as time goes by, I am slowly learning how to socialize given the profession I’m pursuing.
My name is Ruby, and I am an ambivert, though my introvert side is way more dominant.
I am currently studying in a private institution in our province here in Pangasinan, Philippines, as an incoming 4th year college student, taking up Bachelor of Secondary Education.
As a book lover since I’ve learned how to read in my elementary days, I always feel connected with any form of literature, may it be poetry, prose, and drama. There’s a part of me that always craves for something that’s beyond reality, and literature opens the door for me to enter the world of fiction.
I do love reading a lot but aside from that, I also love writing poems and stories. So far, I can’t remember how many poems and stories I’ve written, and those were luckily published in our school paper when I was in high school, together with the news and feature articles I’ve written.
Moreover, aside from reading and writing, I am also a music lover. Apart from being an avid listener of great music, I also love playing soothing sounds through my Kalimba instrument. I’ve learned how to play this one when I was in high school and it became part of my hobby up until now.
What I love with this instrument is that it is very easy to learn and the sound coming from it is very pleasing to hear as it sounds like a music box.
On the other hand, as someone who lives in a province where nature is my safe haven, I am a certified plantita ever, something I was influenced by my mom and dad who love planting a lot.
My mom loves to plant ornamental plants, while my dad is more into planting trees and crops.
During these days, I spend most of my time taking care of my 4-months old nephew, and I really enjoy it despite how tiring it is to cope-up with his tantrums. With just his smiles and soft giggles, all of my tiredness fades away, and I can’t wait to see more of what he can do as he grows up.
As a newbie here, I hope everything goes well as time goes by, despite the unfamiliarity I’m feeling right now. Someone recommended this platform to me before and this is just time that I feel the courage to sign up and introduce myself to you. I hope we can be friends later on.
Thank you for reading!❤️

Hello there. We have a common ground, books. Nice to meet you and hope to see you around. Welcome to Hive and uh, Ruby is my birthstone.🤭
Hey, my fellow book lover! It's nice to meet someone here with the same interest as you. Anyway, I'm glad to know that my name is your birth stone. Mine is Garnet, not Ruby actually, but it still have red hue. ☺️
May I ask what types of books do you read? Like the genre you prefer, the settings?
I'm more into sci-fi, fantasy and historical genres, but I'm also reading self-help books for motivation to grow. How 'bout you po?
I'm into Canadian Prairie, Frontier stories of Janette Oke and also writers like L.M Montgomery,Burnett, Lewis, Riggs, Dahl. 🤭 It's more on character development fictions.
Oh! I'll add that up to my pending books to read. I think, those were must read. I'm currently reading English-American lit and Philippine Lit (including Mythology and Folklore) as part of my course in college though it became my one of my faves too, but it's also nice to read other types of literary pieces.
Welcome 👏
Thanks for welcoming me here. Nice to meet you! 🤗
Hi there Ruby, welcome to Hive.
You're introduction post is very similar or your friend Amy's, you two even use the same terms and phrases.
As a person who loves to read and write, I am sure you are able to create your own original content which is what Hive expects from users, and that you don't need to paraphrase from some one else's content. We hope to see nothing less from you in the future, and with your love of literature, I am confident you are able to deliver. All the best
Thank you for pinpointing that out. I will surely take note of that. Amy's my friend since Senior High School and some semester in college (college days when she mentioned this platform to me). We are both taking up BSED that time, however we parted ways when she transferred from other school last sem.
I enjoyed reading your post, it was very interesting!

Hello @redgemstone and welcome to Hive. I am not sure I have ever heard the Kalimba played before. Now I will have to go to YouTube to look for it. Best wishes in your endeavors here.
Thank you. Kalimba isn't that popular, I guess, but it is one of the simple instruments to play.
PS. Sorry for the late reply, got ran out of RC lately. 😅
That is okay. Building up RC and HP is a process.
