Steelvern
Introduction.
Hi once again, I dont know if I still need to do this… to give a little introduction of myself. maybe nobody will care to read or it will just be a waste of time. Hopefully not.
Anyway, I am steelvern, an engineer by profession. Been with the man’s world for more than a decade now. Still trying to fit in and prove myself that I can.
Well, personally, I am just a simple person. I love writing because I think I can express myself better in that aspect. There are times it is more difficult to say things verbally because there is always a danger of hurting and we cannot retract words we already said. At least by pen, we could always edit during proofreading. 
)
I also like reading, reading inspirational books, encouragement articles, success stories and God’s words. It is where I seek guidance for my everyday life.
Travelling and seeing another places are also another activities i want to do. Photography really gives me different views of different cultures and life. Before, I never dreamed of leaving my native land, Philippines. I already travelled almost all the main and not so main islands in my country. Cities, urban life, rural life, name it. During one of my job assignment, I even slept in a barnhouse looking for some samples to be tested and developed, ate anything available there to survived. But its not that bad and it was an experience I will always cherish.
Now, I am in a foreign land. The opportunity is there so i gladly took it. I may never have the same opportunity knocking twice at my door. So I tried to be brave enough to face a different life style and culture. Been here two years, so I think I am doing just fine.
Actually, being far and alone has its ups and downs. Of course, financially it is always better. But being alone here is the real battle. During working hours, it is really fine. But when reaching the confine of my room, there, the loneliness strikes back. So I have to find a way to make myself busy.
So I really welcome being here, writing for you. Sharing my experiences and keeping you as my company. Please bear with me.
God bless.

A fitting introduction my friend. It’s good to know something about a writer’s background to be able to better comprehend their writings. After all, our works are a reflection of our own realities or at least part of it. Keep writing!

I totally agree with Brewed. It always help to know the background of your friend/ co writer to get a better understanding of his/her work. It also helps build a solid foundation for future friendship especially here in Triond. Brewed and I should know…
Best of luck in your writing endeavors here in Triond.

Hi steelvern! I’d like to give you a taste of home so I will use our own language. Masaya ako sa pakikipag-ugnayan mo sa amin ngayon. Saan ka mang panig ng mundo, nandito kaming mga Pilipinong sumusuporta sa iyo. Sana ‘y maging masaya ang karanasan mo dito sa Triond. Patnubayan ka ng Diyos!

To sandcastle thanks for the support and brewed coffee thanks also for friends suggestions.
At sa iyo likha, ako’y lubos na nagpapasalamat sa iyong mensahe at sa paggamit ng ating wika. Pagpalaanin Ka ng Diyos.

Your profession must be very interesting and challenging. After all, not all women have the courage to enter the world dominated by men and so you’re lucky indeed to have that opportunity. It’s a pleasure to add you in the list of my friends, wherever you are you’re still a Filipino, by blood and by heart. Go girl, wave the Philippine flag!
