ANO BA YAN, WALA NA!!

I grew up with almost nothing.

There were days I went to school with only ₱10 baon, and sometimes... wala talaga. I’d sip water just to quiet down the hunger. I got used to watching others eat, wishing I had what they had — food, clothes, even simple school supplies.

Fast forward to today, I catch myself checking out items I once only dreamed of. And I admit — I overspend, too much. And I feel down when I have no orders to track. It's a strange feeling... like something's missing when there's nothing "To Ship".

Retail therapy — it comforts us. That little parcel on the way feels like a pat on the back. A reward. A distraction. A hug in a box.

But here's the truth:
🧠 It calms our mind temporarily, but it can stress our finances long term.
💸 The joy of checkout shouldn't become a trap that empties our savings.
💖 Healing doesn't always come in packages — sometimes it comes in rest, purpose, and self-love.

To those who feel this too:
You are not alone.
You're not being “too much.”
You're just someone who found a little joy in what you never had before.

Although Good, Be Mindful 🧠💡

Retail therapy isn’t bad — it’s human.
It’s okay to want nice things. It’s okay to treat yourself.
But be careful not to fill emotional gaps with financial holes.

Ask yourself:
🛒 Do I need this?
💳 Is this a reward or a routine escape?
📉 Am I buying joy... or borrowing regret?

Let’s not let short-term comfort steal long-term peace.

Remember — the best delivery is progress.
Order growth. Ship out self-love.
And review your financial goals like you'd review your favorite seller. 🌱

Let’s buy things that add value, not just temporary highs.
Because the biggest checkout? It's when you realize how far you’ve come.

📢 Sharing this to raise awareness on email scams.

I received an email today claiming to be from "BDO App" saying someone accessed my account from Dubai. But when I checked the sender's email, it was clearly not from BDO...

A few reminders to protect yourself:

✅ Always check the sender's email address — legitimate banks will only use official domains (example: .com.ph).
✅ Never click links or download attachments from suspicious emails.
✅ Do not enter your password, OTP, or any personal information on unfamiliar websites.
✅ If in doubt, go directly to your bank’s official app or website — do not rely on links from emails.
✅ Be cautious of emails that create urgency (example: "account locked", "unauthorized access", etc.). These are common tactics used by scammers.

Many people fall victim to these scams because they look very convincing. Please share this with your family and friends, especially those who may not be very familiar with these types of threats.

Stay vigilant and stay safe online. 🔐

WOKE UP TO CLIENTS WANTING TO HIRE ME...without applying 🔥

Grabe, manifestation ba 'to or just pure value?

Pag-gising ko kanina, BOOM — 2 clients in my inbox asking if I’d like to work with them.
Wala akong in-apply-an. Wala akong ad. Wala akong pitch. Pero ayun sila, ready mag-hire.

Client #1:
Flashback — 1 year ago nag-apply ako sa kanya, but I didn’t qualify kasi I was pregnant at the time, and he needed someone na fully present.

Still, I gave my best sa interview. We clicked.
After giving birth, he reached out ulit for a PM role — I couldn’t commit yet, baby pa eh.

Pero I stayed in touch. Gave tips. Shared insights. Showed up kahit di ako bayad.

Fast forward to today:

He messaged again — this time, gusto niya ako as his Executive Virtual Assistant.

Hindi ko in-apply-an ‘to, bes. He kept me top of mind kasi I gave value even when I wasn’t working for him.

He saw what I could do. He trusted what I can bring to the table.

Now here we are.

Client #2:
She found me sa FB group — I was offering free help to biz owners.

We stayed connected sa WhatsApp.

I helped her on project-based stuff.

Nagbigay ako ng tips, nagbigay ng guidance — with no strings attached.

Today?

Siya na yung nag-offer ng higher rate than what I even suggested.

Gusto niya akong i-hire. No convincing needed.

Moral of the story?

If you know your worth —
Clients will come to YOU.
Hindi mo kailangang habulin.

Give value. Build real relationships.
Be visible. Be so good they can’t ignore you.
And most of all — be yourself.

The right clients will feel that energy.

$250 Contract for just 5 mins of work! 🔥💪

Never lower your value just because you're afraid of rejection.

A few days ago, this client messaged me on Fiverr.
At first, he wanted me as a VA — hourly.
But I declined kasi hindi niya kaya yung hourly rate ko.

He tried to negotiate and asked if I could lower it a bit, but I knew the workload wasn’t worth the rate he was offering.

A few days later, we connected on WhatsApp.
Turns out, he really wanted me to work with him for his business.

This time, he offered a project-based deal.
And guess what?

I closed it for $250 —just to troubleshoot their integrations, which literally took me 5 minutes to fix.

I told him 2 days turnaround,
just for buffer time,
but I already knew it was an easy fix.

Why did I charge that much for 5 minutes of work?
Because it’s my expertise.

If they don’t know how to fix it,
why should I offer it for less?

Yes, he hesitated at first.

Took a day before he got back to me.

But I didn’t lower my rate —

because I know his time is way more valuable
than spending hours trying to figure out something he didn’t understand.

Lesson for fellow VAs and freelance buds:

Don’t charge based on how long it takes you to finish something.

Charge based on the value you bring, the years of experience behind that “quick fix,” and the peace of mind your client gets by hiring YOU.

If you keep pricing yourself low just to get a yes,
you’ll keep attracting clients who don’t value your skills.

Know your worth, and stick to it.

Quality clients will always pay for quality work.

I know you love Facebook and Insta, but do you know that META just release a mass layoff???

Here's my thought after meta just cut 3,500 employees, labeling them "low performers."

Who hired these workers in the first place?
Who set expectations?

If nearly 5% of Meta's workforce can be suddenly deemed “not good enough,” that’s not a talent issue—it’s a question of leadership.

Mass layoffs are tough, but finding a scapegoat in employees does nothing to address the real problem: leadership missteps, inconsistent performance standards, and questionable hiring practices. 🤔

Is the problem with the people Meta hired, or how have they been managed and supported along the way?

Big choices have consequences, and it’s easy to blame individuals when the real hit needs to be taken by those in charge. What are your thoughts?

Realization before the year end🙌

Dati ₱50 lang regalo natatanggap natin o kaya naman wala talaga.

Minsan nga di pa makasali sa exchange gift kasi walang pera.

Pero ngayon, tayo naman yung magbibigay, Salamat lord sa lahat ng biyaya ngayong 2024. Pagyabungin pa natin sa darating na 2025 ❣️🙌

Another bucket list checked ✔❣️

Small feat for others, but something I'm proud of myself.

Dati hindi ako makapag open ng savings account sa BPI at BDO (or any other bank that time) kasi kelangan ng ng maintaining balance (10, 000 sa BPI I believe)

Only bank account I had back then was GCash 😅 and my very first bank is payroll account pa from UB 😭 (buhay pa din to ha hahahha converted the payroll acct to savings na ₱350 maintaining balance lang) back when I was working sa fastfood chain.

Then fast forward, I have been able to open banks account with ease. Also have my first credit card back in 2022 with SB and a 2nd one this year with UB.

And here we are, very first VIP membership sa bank 😍 RCBC hexagon Club member na ang ate mo!

One bucket list checked again! 💞

PS: I've been planning to upgrade my account with them since early this year but pregnancy, giving birth and postpartum just made it soooo hard to go out 😭

Praying for you to have your bucket list checked soon!

PPS: I know I've abandoned this account na due to several reason but I'll try to come back. I'm working on putting a course together you can join and access anytime (with certificate and workshop) so you, yourself can have the luxury to joining the VA world ❣️

I'm forever grateful for knowing this client. She's one of the best, and I couldn't believe how much she valued me, not just as an employee but also as a friend.

I met this very kind person while I was job hunting for a part-time gig. She reached out to me and was very excited to start working with me. I was her very first VA, and I couldn't be happier that day.

She was kind, generous, and she taught me various things, not just job-related skills.

I know that $20 may not seem like much, but it's not about the money I'm sharing this. It's about the way she valued and appreciated what I did for her company. It's the thought and appreciation that counts. I stopped working for her over 4 months ago because I gave birth and haven't really gone back to fully working yet, but this lady keeps in touch with me just to make sure I'm doing okay.

She hasn't seen me in person and was only able to get to know me over text and online meetings, yet she treated me as if I were one of her friends. When something comes up, she'll make sure I'm well-taken-care-of, would send financial help, and even let her clients know who did what in her company.

I'm beyond grateful for being part of her circle. I refer leads for her from time to time, and although I don't work for her at the moment, she will randomly send me a referral fee, even if I told her it's okay because she's also starting out, and I want her to invest in her business as well.

Today, I got money and thought it was from one of my referrals, but in reality, it was her client sending an appreciation gift to me just because she told him how proud she had been of me for the months I worked for her. Even after 4 months of not working together, she keeps spreading good words about me and the way I worked.

She's one of the best, and I'm grateful and happy with how things turned out between our client-employee relationship.
