-my ​inspiration​

​

It all started back in my high school days.

​

One Sunday evening, I was watching a magazine-style TV show on a local channel here in the Philippines. They were featuring a blogger who shared his travels and life stories through his blog. He even met his life partner through blogging. I was amazed by his journey how he used the internet as his personal journal to inspire others.

 

Right then and there, a dream was shaped in me!

Someday, I’ll make my own blog too a space to share my creativity, my journal, and the story of my life.

​

Even as a child, I was drawn to stories and history. I remember being fascinated by books, especially Reader’s Digest one of the first English books I read outside school. The article I read was about the pyramids of Egypt. I didn’t always understand every word, but I was too curious to stop.

​

My mother used to collect old books, even those damaged by typhoons. I read whatever I could get my hands on, even if I couldn’t understand everything because I wanted to learn, to explore, to grow.

​

In college, my curiosity grew deeper. I watched countless English documentaries, often without subtitles. I struggled to understand everything, but I never gave up because learning made me happy. These passions,  storytelling, learning, curiosity have always been with me. They are my joy. My calling!

​

After college, I applied to BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) companies. I failed many times. So, I worked in warehousing jobs where English wasn’t required. After a year or two, I tried again. This time, I barely passed the Versant exam but I passed. That small victory was the start of my BPO journey. Over six years, I worked with different companies, learning, growing, and building confidence.

​

Eventually, I took a leap of faith and shifted into the digital world remote job. It wasn’t easy. I still struggle with English grammar and pronunciation. But I’ve learned something more important than perfection

-never give up on your inner child’s dream.

That dream to tell stories, share journeys, and inspire others is what led me here.

​

Welcome to my journey. I’m still learning. Still growing. Still dreaming. And I’m here to share it with you.
