I AM A PINAY. RAISED AND BORN IN THE PHILIPPINES. I WRITE THIS AS A YOUNG AGE OF 26. I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT STARTING A BLOG ABOUT MY PAST, LIFE WHEN I WAS BORN AND HOW I WAS RAISED AND HOW I AM GOING TO GO ABOUT MY FUTURE. I REALIZED IT IS SO MUCH INTERESTING TO WRITE ABOUT YOUR VISION OF THE FUTURE. KIND OF CREATING A VISION AND CHALLENGING YOURSELF DAY BY DAY TO DO SOME LITTLE ACTS THAT WILL MAKE YOUR LIFE INTERESTING AND EXCITING. MAKING SMALL/ MEDIUM AND BIG GOALS TO ACHIEVE FOR YOURSELF. YOU GOTTA REMIND YOURSELF THAT LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO JUST WATCH IT PASS BY, WITHOUT BUILDING NEW RELATIONSHIPS, OR WITHOUT EXPRESSING YOUR LITTLE ACTS OF LOVE TO THE UNIVERSE.
ALONG THE WAY, I WILL OF COURSE BE TELLING STORIES ABOUT MY PAST AND CHILDHOOD, AND HOW I HAVE MADE IT THROUGH WHICH I BELIEVE IS REALLY INTERESTING. I HAVE WORKED IN DUBAI AS AN O.F.W (OVERSEAS FILIPINO WORKER) FOR ALMOST 4 YEARS. BEEN THROUGH A LOT AND I KNOW MOST OF US HAS A UNIQUE STORY TO SHARE AS WELL.
I WORKED IN MANILA AS A CALL CENTER AGENT FOR FOUR YEARS, THOUGHT OF GREENER PASTURES OUT OF THE COUNTRY AND APPLIED FOR THE FIRST JOB THAT ACCEPTED ME AS AN OFW, A SALES LADY IN A MALL, FAR FROM THE CAREER I HAVE ENVISIONED FOR MYSELF, AS I GRADUATED TO BECOME A NEWS BROADCASTER. AFTER TWO YEARS AS A SALES LADY, I GOT PROMOTED AS A SUPERVISOR, AND LEARNED A LOT ABOUT MANAGEMENT, FASHION MERCHANDISING, MAKING FINANCIAL REPORTS ETC. AFTER ANOTHER TWO YEARS,I RESIGNED AND WENT BACK TO THE PHILIPPINES AS AN ENTREPRENEUR/ INVESTOR, AND BUILT A SALON AND SPA BUSINESS,
( www.facebook.com/desertikas ) LOOKING FORWARD TO EXPAND AND MULTIPLY BRANCHES ALL OVER THE PHILIPPINES IN A YEAR OR TWO. OR MAYBE TAP IN OTHER INDUSTRY, FOOD OR RETAIL.
NOW FROM THIS DAY FORWARD, I WILL MAKE MY LIFE INSPIRING TO THE OTHER YOUNG FILIPINOS BY SHARING MY STORIES.
WILL BE SHARING MY THOUGHTS, MY HAPPINES, MY FRUSTRATIONS, MY IDEAS ON ABOUT ANYTHING AND EVERY TOPIC I COULD THINK OF.
OH, I JUST WANT TO SHARE THAT ITS ME THERE WEARING A BLUE TOP, GIVING A TRAINING FOR THE WHOLE STAFF OF MY DEPARTMENT. MOST OF THEM FROM DIFFERENT NATIONALITIES AND SOME MY FELLOW FILIPINOS.
WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THIS 5 FOOT TALL, FRAGILE LOOKING FILIPINA CAN ACTUALLY RISE HERSELF TO BE A RESPECTED TEAM LEADER AND SPEAK AND SHARE HER IDEAS TO THE WORLD?
AS I HAVE HEARD FROM A GREAT PHILOSOPHER "ONLY YOU CAN SET A LIMIT FOR YOURSELF OF WHAT YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH", AND "WHAT A MIND CAN CONCEIVE AND BELIEVE; IT CAN ACHIEVE!"
