About Me

My Journey to Manila

After my graduation in College, I got absorb as a Physical Education, English and NSTP instructor at Philippine Cyber College Baguio. Then after a year I became an English Tutor for Korean students at Monol English Institue still in Baguio City.

In September of 2007, I was still a stay in tutor that time. I filed a sick leave as I am having flu. As I was lying down in my bed, I decided to just get up and walk wishing something good will happen. As soon as I finished my breakfast still wearing my pajama and my shirt I put on my old walking shoes and started walking around the hotel. I felt relaxed as I was walking along Teachers Camp. I then decided to go to SM Baguio. Along the way, I spotted a job fair I got intrigued with their poster which says “Work in Manila and have a PHP 20,000.00 relocation fee.” So I head home and took my resume. I just figured out that I don’t have one clean resume with me. As I don’t have money at that time I decided to just get the pages of my resume that I can use and then combine them together to come up with one clean resume.

So, I went back and join the other applicants awaiting their turn to be interviewed and so I passed the interview. I got as excited as I dreamed to be working in Ayala Business District.

Working at first in a place totally new to me is not that easy. I stayed in a bus terminal, to sleep in the sleeping quarters of the office where I used to work, took a bath at the bus terminal for a week until I finally got a place to stay. My family and friends know nothing about it as I have to have let them feel that I can be on my own that I am dependent enough to survive the challenges of being alone in a busy city like Metro Manila.

Right now... I am so happy with where I am now. Contented with what I got. I am being blessed with people who truly supports and love me. Thank you so much!

Moving on... I would like to share some of my photos while growing up.

My Other Blog would include Katoika it is intended to feature about designing and home stuff. From housing ideas and room decoration. However since I am not an architecture, engineer or interior designer I would also include my Do It Yourself (DIY) projects.
