Out of the Box, At last!

"Live life to the fullest". This has always been my guiding quote. We only live once, so we might as well do what we need or want to do provided that we do not break any law, nor step on somebody else's toe.

I am Cielo. Google says my name means "sky",the part of space above the earth where you can see the sun,moon and other celestial bodies-- the heaven. Well, i don't really think I am an epitome of a great figure to be looked up to. I am just simply an ordinary woman who lives to love, to share, and to inspire.

In our family, I am the youngest of the tres marias. During my younger years, i thought I was the only child because rarely would I see my other siblings. It was only during our father's wake when we finally got the chance to be together for the first time. From then on, we started connecting with each other,thus creating a tighter and stronger bond.

Contrary to others' impression of me as snobbish, I am actually amiable. I have a lot of friends. I am the type of person whom one can easily get along with. And as a friend, I am willing to lend an ear, to offer a shoulder and to give a hug to whoever among them might need.

It was only around six years ago when I finally became the "ilaw ng tahanan". I am happily committed to a media practitioner-turned-educator. Our married life is not perfect. It has its ups and downs, but we always find ways to make it the best that it can be.

Soon after our marriage, we received the greatest gift every couple hopes for, our son. Finally, I became a full-fledged mom. His coming made my life more meaningful. His coming made my existence complete. Indeed, every child is a mother's bliss.

Not only do I nurture my own child. I also share a huge part of myself trying to educate many children,molding them to become a better version of themselves.I am a teacher and I have been serving the department for thirteen years now. I must say, this job is not easy. Aside from teaching itself, just like the others, I also have to make a ton of paperworks and meet some deadlines. But despite all the pressure, I still love what I do. And looking at my students' smiling faces as they venture on our daily endeavor is definitely rewarding.

So, this is me. A daughter, a sister, a friend, a wife, a mother, and a teacher all rolled up into one...one who chooses love over hate, optimism over pessimism and happiness over depression.

Hello macielovalpag! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

  1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
  2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
  3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
  4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
  5. Have Fun and Enjoy!
