#### Hello everyone! ####
 
I am delighted to have this platform to share my thoughts, experiences, and insights with you. In this initial post, I aim to introduce myself and provide you with a glimpse of what you can anticipate from me.

My name is Angelica O. Metante, and I am a 27-year-old homemaker residing in the beautiful southern part of Cebu City, specifically in the City of Naga. Nestled amidst breathtaking landscapes and surrounded by nature's wonders, my home provides a serene and picturesque environment that serves as the perfect backdrop for creating lasting memories with my loved ones.
 
In this idyllic setting, I am blessed with the presence of my two incredible children, who bring immeasurable joy and fulfillment to my life. Sean Caizer M. Cadlawon, my older son, is a bright and curious 8-year-old, constantly embarking on exciting new adventures and exploring his interests with boundless enthusiasm. His thirst for knowledge and zest for life inspire me every day. Meanwhile, my younger son, Defrie Alion M. Cadlawon, at the tender age of 1, is a bundle of pure joy and innocence. His infectious laughter and adorable antics never fail to bring a smile to my face. Watching him discover the wonders of the world is a constant reminder of the beauty and simplicity that exists in every moment.
 
Alongside the joy of motherhood, I am fortunate to have the unwavering love and companionship of my husband, Eliezer C. Cadlawon. Together, we form a strong and unbreakable bond, built on a foundation of trust, respect, and shared dreams. Eliezer's presence in my life adds another layer of happiness and fulfillment, as we navigate the beautiful journey of parenthood hand in hand. Our love and support for each other create a harmonious and nurturing environment for our family to thrive.
 
As a dedicated homemaker, I take great pride in creating a warm and loving sanctuary for my family. Every day, I pour my heart and soul into ensuring that our home is a haven of comfort and tranquility. From preparing delicious and nutritious meals that tantalize the taste buds to maintaining a clean and organized living space, I strive to create an environment that reflects the love and care I have for my family. Balancing the responsibilities of homemaking and family life requires an immense amount of patience, organization, and a deep sense of love, all of which I am grateful to possess .

Despite residing in a modest home, my family and I find great joy in our close-knit bond, cherishing each other's presence and providing unwavering support through life's challenges. Together, we navigate the highs and lows of life, finding strength in our unity.

While my primary role is that of a full-time homemaker, I have discovered a true passion for the culinary arts. I have the ability to prepare a wide variety of dishes, showcasing my culinary skills and creativity in the kitchen. Furthermore, my husband and I share a dream of opening a small eatery known as a carinderia. With our combined skills and unwavering dedication, we envision creating a warm and inviting space where people can enjoy delicious home-cooked meals at affordable prices. Additionally, I take pleasure in engaging in do-it-yourself (DIY) projects, particularly transforming old garments into trendy Outfits of the Day (OOTD), allowing me to express my personal style and showcase my creativity.

In addition to my culinary and DIY pursuits, I have a deep love for volleyball. During my school days in 2013, I actively participated in volleyball and cherished being part of a team. This sport not only provided me with physical activity but also imparted valuable lessons in teamwork, perseverance, and discipline. While my focus has shifted towards my family and culinary endeavors, my passion for volleyball remains a cherished memory.

The opportunity to join your group holds great interest for me as it aligns with my desire to support my husband as a wife and contribute to our family's financial stability. Given the rising inflation and escalating prices of goods, it has become increasingly challenging to manage with just our salary as the sole source of income. I am committed to finding a profession that is fair and righteous, allowing me to make a meaningful impact while balancing my responsibilities as a wife and mother.

Within the Hive, I am confident that I can make valuable contributions based on my skills, interests, and experiences. I am eager to share my knowledge and expertise on specific topics, offer support and advice to fellow members, engage in meaningful discussions, and share interesting and relevant content. Additionally, I am enthusiastic about participating in community events or initiatives that foster a positive and inclusive environment.

In addition to honing my content creation skills, I have also been exploring the art of meaningful engagement with fellow users on Hive. By leaving thoughtful comments, expressing appreciation through upvotes, and actively participating in discussions, I have discovered the power of building connections and fostering a sense of community within the platform. Moreover, I have been immersing myself in the etiquette and best practices that govern interactions within the vibrant Hive community, ensuring that my contributions are respectful, constructive, and conducive to positive engagement.

I was introduced to this group by my niece, @darkrose , who is already a member. And to our instructor Mrs. @chimegapamus who taught us about the different platforms that belong to the hive .  Her positive feedback about the group has inspired me to join as well. While I may face challenges due to my limited knowledge about the processes involved, I am dedicated to putting forth my best effort to learn and adapt to any required methods. I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of your hive, and I promise to wholeheartedly dedicate myself to the success and well-being of the community.
