Our Story

2020, Pandemic

I went back to my province, resigned from work, unemployed that changed everything for me.

One of my classmates in elementary told me I was lucky I have savings to get thru with the pandemic.

It’s as if - a wakeup call and a certain kind of reminder for me to not just live for myself but for others too.

While I was busy chasing my dreams so I can give back to my family, others were barely surviving.

And I forgot that.

I forgot my promise, my innermost desire.

2010 -2019, The Dilemma

Back then, G was my enemy. I questioned Him with:

why He pushed me to the edge

why I am not good (while others are)

why I am a PWD

bakit madali lang sa iba to get what they want

pati imperfections ko - you name it...

And then, pandemic came. I have nothing except emergency fund. During that rock bottom - He showed me why.

" I wasn’t skilled enough when I resigned. Skills na wala ako yung labanan sa labas.

Nahirapan ako to get a job."

Then - dun nag start ma answer yung sagot sa mga questions ko.

I am nothing without Him.

Too bad antagal ko na realize but I am happy now - na gets ko na.

2025, Present date

Starting again> fully trusting > taking consistent actions> Afraid but confident I have Him on my back.

I just want to relay the message of the story from one of my mentors - it will always boil down to who you are in your core - no pretentions just your raw self.

Accepting who you are, and the perfections that comes in between serves a purpose.

You may not know it now - but it is my sincere and dearest hope that you find it soon.

Growth comes if you are the bold one to confront your own limiting beliefs.

Today, in this generation - it’s not only experience that matter but skillsets that matches the ever- evolving workforce landscape.

I was frustrated back then, kasi I become stagnant and even blame myself for being passive.

Siguro I was young and naive noon - to know how the world really works.

Literal, na sinampal ako ng reality ng buhay.

But now, I learned my lesson to never stop learning and evolving kasi it is what makes you valuable and irresistible.

The world favors people who keep on learning, growing, upskilling and taking action for self-growth.

Fast forward today, while I am working in the corporate, I am slowly building my skillsets.

Skillset that will help me thrive even with the uncertainty of the future.

It is my hope that you find the courage to step out of the comfort zone and evolve as the BEST version of yourself

Jan 15,2025 -7 months later when I started to commit to self-discovery and growth

Within this 7 mos. I discovered what I am missing all this time - it is my home.

A special place where I don't want to leave and I keep coming back to...

But - we know that opportunities in the province are limited, so I went to Manila, got confused for what truly matters to me - since 2012.

Looking back at my journey now, I realized it was all pre-planned from the beginning.

The detours, the failures, the people I've meet, the push & pull relationship with G, and to finally surrender.

I've come to accept the fact,

That no matter what I do - if I keep on denying, being hard-headed to push thru with my plans for my life, I always ended up frustrated with the outcomes - it is always a failure.

And I realized, that is because I am looking at the wrong direction.

My Plan for myself, is Not His Plan.

So, sabi ko kay G - your will be done. YOU WIN. Suko na ako.

And then, something happened. My deepest desires - where answered instantly, the how and the why's. People I needed to meet - showed up, have become my mentors/Coaches to make this journey possible (naiiyak ako while typing this!)

Para bang the universe is helping me to make things work.

The funds, the time I needed, the motivation (giving back to my family), the people in my circle that was very supportive - my current Assoc., (supporting my personal growth & entrepreneural journey), my supportive family, my partner (who is the stress/frustration absorber), and to my co-workers-turned-family (with no questions, I have to clock out at 4Pm, and do overtime at home, so I can recharge and do this business habang natutulog pa ang lahat).

You are all the inspiration - I am upskilling, so we won't have to be boxed in the rat race cycle.

Overwhelming and touching to the Core - how this simple word: Suko na ako is so powerful that instantly - Everything seems right - that all I needed was to trust and surrender.

Cinchanted Crafters - my baby, was born. And I can't wait to share this mission with you:

Join me in this journey - so no student will be left behind, today and beyond.
