Pag mga gantong weekend na tapos andami mong ginawa buong week ? Mapapa reflect ka talaga habang nagkakape e ☕️🥹

Pag naaalala ko kung pano ko ipag pray yung work ko ngayon as a freelancer / VA , nawawala yung pagod ko. Literal!

Pano ba naman kase umulan bumagyo sa BPO may pasok, lagi pa ko napupunta sa mga Telco accounts na wantosawa sa calls! 😭 Pero ngayon, hindi na ko nag cacalls, halos hawak ko na din yung oras ko.

Feeling ko naheal ko na din yung inner child ko.

Basta ibang level na talaga ngayon.

All praise to you Lord, Thank you talaga!

Happy weekend guys! 😘

🌴✨ ISLA DE GIGANTES: My First Travel Vlog! ✨🌴

After spending most days behind the screen working as a VA, I finally took a break — and this 2D1N Isla de Gigantes tour in Iloilo was exactly what I needed. 🧳💻➡️🏝️

We joined a budget-friendly joiners tour Gigantes Islands Travel and Tours 6 postcard-worthy spots
✔️ The iconic Cabugao Gamay view
✔️ Free kayak use, private AC room, & full meals
✔️ Unli rice, unli coffee, and yes — unli scallops! 🐚
✔️ No hidden charges — just good vibes and clear waters 🙌

📍Destinations covered:
🏝 Cabugao Gamay
🏝 Bantigue Sandbar
🏝 Antonia Beach
🏝 Tangke Lagoon
🏝 Pulupandan Island
🏝 Lantangan Beach

✨ VA note: I was even able to squeeze in a bit of work during the trip using the accommodation’s WiFi!

📌 BUT! I wouldn’t recommend relying on it if you have strict deliverables — better to bring your own pocket WiFi. There’s mobile signal available for most networks 📶

This trip was a reminder that work-life balance can include island life.

Ay taray! May pa-gan’to na pala si Upwork ko 😭

I started Upwork in January just for fun — not really expecting na magkaka-client ako sa platform kasi grabe yung competition, and I thought super saturated na talaga siya.

Fast forward to today: I honestly lost count na how many interview invites I’ve received. I’ve landed 2 amazing clients (though I had to let go of one due to a work setup that wasn’t ideal for me). And now… Rising Talent na daw ako ni Upwork?! 😭💚

Here are a few things I did that helped me stand out kahit sobrang dami ng freelancers on the platform:

🌟 1. I optimized my profile like it’s a landing page.
I made sure na clear yung headline ko, detailed pero concise yung overview, and lahat ng experiences ko are aligned with the services I want to offer.

🌟 2. I created a portolio.
I summarize my knowledge and experience in a specific niche, I collected all my certificates to serve as credentials and also included a short introduction of what I do and what I have contributed to my previous job or clients. This somehow help prospect clients to gauge how much they will need you.

🌟 3. I applied with intention.
Hindi ako nagpapadala ng generic proposals. I read the job post carefully and tailor-fit my proposal like I’m solving a specific problem.

🌟 4. I showcased my work — even personal or volunteer projects.
Walang masyadong client history? That’s okay! Show what you can do through mock-ups or passion projects. Put an extra effort to research.

🌟 5. I stayed consistent even without replies.
There were times wala akong narereceive na response at all, but I kept going and made every proposal better than the last.

🌟 6. I set my rate with confidence.
I didn’t lowball just to win projects. I priced myself fairly and made sure I can deliver value for that rate.

To anyone feeling discouraged about starting on Upwork: there’s space for you. You just need to position yourself well, stay consistent, and be open to learning and tweaking your strategy.

Padayon, freelancers! 🚀
