March - I was begging for 300 php so I could buy pancit canton and de lata to eat and survive.
June - I am running my atelier and sending reminders/thank you messages to my staff before going to bed.
I am still amazed how huge the leap I have made in the past few weeks.

I don’t go out anymore. I deleted my all my dating apps. I work from home. I have very few friends and small circle. I work almost 24/7. No constants, just low key friendships I see in person once every 6 months. No family around. Solo living. My life is boring but peaceful. Haha

lost my house, family and friends left, my ex cheated and used me, lost all my money. came to a point where I survived for weeks only on skyflakes and water. went through all that alone, nd it took a lot of courage to rebuild and earn this peace. So yeah, masaya naman alone haha

I remember crying for help, messaging people around, asking for help. No one came, no one helped. That’s when I realized that I am the help I needed. No one will come to save me but myself. I became so diligent to not put myself in a situation where I would ask for help again.

just recently moved in to Eastwood, joined an fb group for the neighborhood. I was shy but I posted my works there and now, I’m getting some clients in the area.
Never be shy sharing your work, even it seems cringey, just keep sharing it. And your tribe will find your vibe. ✨

I was evicted from unit and only given few weeks to move out. I planned on launching an atelier but one of my big projects retracted. I fell off short sa funds. I was ready to give up. Sabi ko baka hindi pa time. Lipat nalang ako sa mura at maliit na place.

Oh eto na naman. Magmomotivational speaker na naman ako? Haha eme.
This was me in 2009, trying to save up for college. I was 18. Tapos lagi ko dinadaanan yung mga dolls sa toy store kasi I like their clothes. Nakakawala ng pagod.
Layo pa, kid. Pero laban lang. ❤️

Amidst the busy and hectic day, I squeezed in quick meetings in BGC. And while walking to the next meeting, napa smile ako (muntanga). I’m happy where I am, proud of what I’ve become, fulfilled with what I’m doing. Pwede pala yon, noh? To be happy and in love with yourself. ❤️

This is me in 2016, still in college. Bought a bunch of fabric for cheap price and I made it into shirts. Sold them online for only 399 each to pay my tuition in FEU while studying architecture and working in a BPO. Who would have thought, all roads will lead me to this. ✨

Friends are now like “Why you didn’t tell us you’re having a hard time?”
1. It’s hard for me to ask for help. I’m the one who’s always helping.
2. No one’s checking up on me.
3. Whenever I’m opening up, all I got was “Kaya mo yan. Strong ka naman.”
Hello, Bobby? Bettina? 😅😅
