Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain

“God knows the dreams and desires in your heart; in fact, He gave them to you. He will order your steps and take you where you need to be.”
— Joel Osteen.

This is the first post on my new blog. I’m just getting this new blog going, so stay tuned for more. Subscribe below to get notified when I post new updates.

I’m blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal, because I want to be open and I want to share my life with others. The topics that i’ll write are about my life, my dreams, and my experiences. I love to connect my blog with my experiences in my life, I also love to connect my blog with the positive happenings and my life, and I am grateful because my life is lovely connected with God. If my blog successfully throughout the next year, I hope to have accomplished with my dreams that I’d write down below, and make it come true.

So let’s get started.

First of all, I like to travel the amazing places in the Philippines, because this is my own country, and after that I like also to travel in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain. Do you know why? because aside from I like their place, but I also like to meet my idols there, which are Adexe and Nau, they are siblings, and they performed as a duo. They are an artist there in Spain, and I admire them not only because of their handsome faces, but I admire them because I like their songs, they are talented, and I like the way they are.

Santa Cruz de Tenerife is a port city on the island of Tenerife, in Spain’s Canary Islands. Well-preserved buildings in its old town include the colonial Church of the Immaculate Conception. The 1700s Palacio de Carta has baroque and neoclassical features. In the Old Civil Hospital, the Museum of Nature and Man has interactive displays on the islands. The city’s squares include the central Plaza de España.

Spanish brothers Adexe & Nau deliver sunny reggaeton-tinged Latin pop similar to Joey Montana, CNCO, and Naim & Marcos. Born in Santa Cruz, Tenerife, in the Canary Islands, the pair — older brother Nauzet Gutierrez (born in 2002) and the younger Adexe (born in 2005) — started as solo performers, uploading cover songs online before joining forces in 2015 with their cover of Nicky Jam’s “Si Tu No Estas.” They produced more covers, one of which was their popular take on Chino & Nacho’s collaboration with Daddy Yankee, “Andas en Mi Cabeza.” In 2017, they issued their debut full-length, Tu & Yo (Sony Music).

Filipino and Spanish has a lot of similarities when it comes to the languages. Many words in the Tagalog language are borrowed from the Spanish language, specifically Mexican Spanish as supposed to Castillian Spanish. Some words are kotsye (coche), kabayo (caballo) and bintana (ventana). This two language also has similarities in Phonetics. Tagalog has inherited the pronunciation of the letter ‘j’ as ‘h’ and can be seen as how some spellings have been altered to show that. Garaje became garahe and Jesús became Hesus. They are also same with Possession. This may be coincidental, this may be something Tagalog inherited from Spanish. Tagalog uses the ‘ng’ connector to state possession of an object. For example, The boy’s ball.

This is only few of my dreams and I wish you could watch out for my more blogs. Thank you and God bless.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
What topics do you think you’ll write about?
Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
