It's Me, Your kuya Vin!

Hello everyone around the globe! I'm glad to start with my introductory article here at RC platform.

I am used to hear others call me kuya, that is an endearing Filipino word for "big brother" or "elder" brother (don't mind my age for now, will you?😅✌). Thus, the title that come to mind. Besides I also use this as my pen name. I am aka Vin Reafort in other platforms.

I am a registered nurse by profession, a vowed bachelor, and unemployed.😄

After finishing college I eloped in search for my elusive dream. Until I landed in southern Philippines (Mindanao) where I spent two decades in the missions. There I experienced both ends of life - secured and uncertain. To cut my story short, circumstances put me at a crossroads which eventually led me to make a definitive choice that would define the new chapter in my life. So to speak, I returned home in Luzon (northern Philippines) a few months before the ongoing pandemic had erupted.

How come I ventured on blogging? Staying at home most of the time got me an ample opportuniy surfing the net for entertainment and find some platforms where I could earn some money until I stumbled upon Kiki, the platform that served as the first venue for enhancing my craft. Joining Kiki was my initial bold leap outside my comfort zone. What I mean is that -- my decision to explore my revisited passion in writing which I just kept to myself for years. From there also I met a few good virtual friends whom I am still in contact with at present until in the end the said platform did not survive the competitive world of marketing.

Nevertheless, it was not a loss per se, because I realized that it is not at all about money makes the world go round 🎶 but the fulfillment and joy that we derived from gaining new friends and valuable new experiences. In addition to that, I discovered yet another beautiful passion which I equally love and that is photography. For these I am so thankful.

Then I joined other social media platforms where I can continue my work and sought my Kiki friends from there. And what a small world it was! I was happy to find them still.

Last year I was invited by @bmjc98 to try this wonderful RC platform. She is also a former Kikier like me. I found out that she's doing good in here and already had established a name. Kudos to her, to @bbghitte, and @SoulEater among others!

I am looking forward to working and meeting with you fellow writers in this platform. Let us make a difference in every step that we make.

To the Admin and moderators, thank you for this great a chance!

That's all for now guys. If you like this post don't forget to stay tuned for my next article. See you all around.

Thank you everyone!💙
