Waddup!

It’s been a while!!!!

Can’t belive we’re almost done with the first quarter of the year already! It’s mid-March!!! That means, I am less than a month away from being 25 and that sucks. Oh well. With age comes wisdom, so I better be grateful!

Why do I feel like there’s a deadline for everything?

Anyhoo, to give you guys an update (wow, as if I have existing readers! :P) it’s been a while since I wrote about myself. I am always disappointed about not having the time to write and just be myself. 😦 I guess I have to commit myself more to personal writing.

I am still working as Public Relations Officer slash Writer for *insert government agency here* and I am still enjoying it, obviously. Let see, hanggang kailan.

But recently, I realized the need to rethink some of my career decisions. After my recent accident (got hit by a motorcycle), I realized the need to secure my future and start rethinking my financial decisions. I need to save up! It is really, really smart to keep at least 6-month worth of salary as an emergency money!

So, there. I am still busy at work with so many things happening in the background! Nevertheless, I keep all the learnings that I know for sure will help me in my professional career.

Speaking of it, I would just like to share some of the things that I appreciate about my work:

• I get to meet people in the industry – I mean, hey, I was able to talk to media companies not just those from the Philippines but even those based outside (Bloomberg, CNN, Oxford, The Economist, Euronews!)
• I get to know great people both from private and public sector – It’s not everyday that you’ll get to witness an important event, but in my work, I almost always see key people in the economic and business sector. I am very humbled.
• I share stories of success – As part of my work, I get to share success stories of Filipino entrepreneurs and brands. I always feel the kilig whenever I see/ discover / meet amazing Filipino people. I am just so amazed with the Filipino talent.
• I am mentored by the best – My mentors are incredibly brilliant and known in their industry. My supervisor is a seasoned ad person. Our USec is a known leader in the IT BPM and software industry. She is also among the great women leaders today in government.

I am just grateful for the opportunities that my current work opened for me. There is a long way to go cos I know I need to know and learn more pa.

But I am like a young kid right now, always excited for the next challenge!

I thank God for giving me this life and for blessing me every single day.
