A million HELLOs to everyone!!! First Timer here on Steemit, I want to expand my knowledge about this new platform with you guys! Steemit caught my attention!

A thousand Hellos Steemians!!! My name is Maria, 25 years old, currently living in Charlotte North Carolina. !!
I am currently a facebook user with about 300 friends and I made a youtube channel last May 2017 (yeap just this year), posted a few videos, mostly were blogs about my two chihuahua puppies (which at first I didn't expect I would love too much like my own kids). I also tried posting videos about workouts (since I am obviously gaining weight with the hope that one day I will lose some) and visa stuff but then I realized I was such a late bloomer as a youtube blogger! I have an instagram account too but I'm not really very active on there. Then I heard about this Steemit platform from my husband! Actually, he doesn't have an account here yet but he's excited to make one. This phenomena really caught my attention and I am 100% super interested with this even though I still need more knowledge about it of course! So I hope we guys can help each other here and expand together!

I just moved to the United States in 2016. Philippines is my country of origin. I took up Business Administration degree major in Management Accounting and later on found my first job that was more on taxation. Being in an entity that is more on numbers is quite challenging but no one can deny the fact that it's quite stressful due to endless challenges (I bet everybody is familiar with deadlines lol). Then I met my fiance, therefore it was inevitable that I would move to America. When I got here, I definitely didn't have any idea what I should do for a living since I still have a little hang over with the finance world (seriously).

I love going to the beach, relaxing with my hubby or with friends. I also love playing badminton, chess, and reading books. I am so excited to share my posts and hopefully we can create connections here.

Making filipino dishes is one of my favorite hobbies. I will be sharing some cooking stuff on here too later on and hope you guys will like it as much as I do lol. Being with my chihuahuas is one of the best moments of my life, so I'm expecting they will be a big part of my steemit account.

I definitely love gardening! Me and my hubby tried to start our first ever backyard garden just this spring and it turned out really great for us as beginners! Both of us want to live as healthy as possible because living a healthy diet is an asset. And of course with strong faith in God, life is worth living for, so stay healthy physically and spiritually!
I don't have any friends here yet so I hope I can find some sooooner as I am still trying to figure out how to do the whole steemit platform! Good luck to us! And happy holidays!!!
