Hello Hive world, it’s a pleasure to be here!
My name is James Gabriel D. Tevar but the people around call me “Tevar” or “Insik”. There was a funny story behind those nicknames. Way back when I was in my elementary years, I had a classmate named James and Gabriel, and every time someone would approach or call us, it would create confusion. So, the three of us decided that he would be called James, the other one would be Gabriel, and will be called by my last name which is Tevar. For my second nickname, no explanation or arguments are needed. You could just look at the picture below for reference.

I was born and raised in the Queen City of the South, Cebu Philippines. I am the eldest among my two siblings and I am a Taurus. I’ve been living my life because of the things that I love and I would like to share this with you.

So, let’s start! First, I love to travel since I wanted to enjoy the beauty of God’s creation and explore the different parts of the world. Second, I found my love for photography since I wanted to share my own perspective with other people. Satisfying the cravings of other people is one of the reasons why I enjoy cooking too. In fact, currently, we have a small progressive food business about shawarma and we called it “Wrap Bros.”

Why @thejamest?
In my whole life, I have always been called by my last name and so I decided to personally use this username because apparently, this time I wanted to be different. I wanted to be called by my first name to all the new people that I will encounter.
How did I find out HIve?
The story goes like this, my friend @unclebkaal and I were eating after practice. I was curious that he was always taking pictures and so I couldn’t help but ask him why he was doing such things. Therefore, he explained what is HIVE all about and I asked him a favor to invite me because I am interested. Karl directed me to @asasiklause and gave me information and facts about the Hive platform and now I’m here.

What am I hoping to get out of Hive?
Through HIVE, I am hoping to connect and get involved with people whom I can enjoy and share my experiences with. I want to share my passion and see other people's passion. I also hope to be able to hear different stories that I could also learn and put my own perspective from them.

It is nice meeting you all and hope to see you on my next blog!
