Hi Kreativ People. I am Kevin, the man behind The Kreativ Concept.
This is how I usually greets my YouTube viewers in my 3 vlogs in YouTube. I tried my best to create contents but I failed -- but that's okay.
Now, let's rewind. Shall we?
Hi Kreativ People of the world! I am Kevin. I am a software developer, data scientist by profession. I love arts, going to museums and musical theater plays, watching musical movies, eat and sleep!
Fun fact. My siblings shared a story about how my papa should've named me when I was born -- Kelvinator. Yes, a brand of refrigerator. He thought of that because of his fond of tinkering and fixing appliances and motorcycle. Well, Kevin and Kelvinator seems the same. 😅

I love musical theater. Being based in Manila is somewhat a blessing for me as an avid fan of musical theater. Manila has always been a venue for a lot of local and even international musical shows. I've already watched an international tour of Wicked, Phantom of the Opera; and some local productions of Sweeney Todd, Newsies. Local production scenes of musical theater is also doing well -- Ang Huling El Bimbo, Binondo, Mula sa Buwan, Rak of Aegis, The Kundiman Party. A Cebu-based production of Gugmang Giatay and Siddhartha the Musical is also on my already-watched-list.
Now that the pandemic restrictions are less stricter, I can't wait to watch more shows. If you know of upcoming musical theater shows in Manila, please don't hesitate to drop me a message.
The Kreativ Concept
I have a passion project called The Kreativ Concept -- a long-overdue one. The idea started way back 2016 when I used to give personal cards and letters to my family and close friends. While doing my first Christmas card, I asked,
Why not put a personal branding? Probably, I’ll start with a name and a logo.
I have a lot of things in mind but I want to use the initials of my name, which is K and C.
So, I think and think and think — The Kreativ Concept is born! The next question is what? What will I going to make? Along the way, I did not push myself too much to make a content of my branding. I just did my own thing, crafting personal cards and wrapping gifts presentably.
And eventually, this long-overdue Passion Project was buried in oblivion.
Then, 2020 came. A lot of things happened — COVID, lockdown, quarantine and shifted to a full work-from-home setup. No more commutes going to work but less face-to-face interaction — everything is done at home. As we get used to have this setup, it seems like I’ve spent too much work-hours compared before, working in the office —and it’s a bit emotionally, mentally and physically draining. So, I told myself to Stop.
I work because I want to live, not the other way around. I need to do something else aside from work that will make me happy and at peace.
I looked back and brought out what I already did before. Fast forward -— I am here right now, doing what I loved to do, The Kreativ Concept — and this blog!
The Unrealized Passion
There's always one thing that I really love to do, for enjoyment (or maybe competing) -- Dancesport. Back in high school, I joined a Barangay grass roots training summer program, through the efforts of Cebu City government and Dancesport Team Cebu City. It's the kind of sport that I enjoyed the most while getting perspired.
Shameless trivia -- I joined a university intramurals dancesport competition. 😂😂😂
Shout out to these people. Hi @iammikeeken you too, even though you're not in the picture. 😅
As I approach 30, I want to invest more in myself -- focus on something that makes me happy, take care of my health and fitness, spend meaningful time with family and close friends, explore more.
So come and join me in this blogging journey. I can’t wait to fill this site with more contents together with you, readers!
Stay safe — and always Be Kreativ!
P.S. Thank you @glecerioberto for pushing @iammikeeken and I to tell our stories in this platform. Hi @ybanezkim26 😅

The important thing is Hive is a bit different from other social media platforms since you are monetizing your blog. You can't include content that you don't own without sources. For more information, check this post: Why and How People Abuse and Plagiarise.
