It was March 2016, my health, my relationships, my work, and myself are all messed up.

I had no choice but to give up my job as a Technical Support for Google. It was the company I’ve loved so much but I left it. I’ve been sick and in pain, I had a lot of Erythema Nodosum on both of my feet. It is like I have lot of swollen bruises on my sole so I couldn’t walk. I needed to stay at home. It was a depressing moment.

I literally started from nothing. I got no money to buy a laptop and our house doesn’t have internet connection. With the help of my sister’s credit card, I bought a laptop. I told her that I will get a job and pay her in installment. Then, I’ve camped on my best friend’s house so that I have internet connection. I’ve went on several freelancing websites, set up my online profile on each of them, sent several applications and had a lot of interviews. Then, I finally got my first home-based job, an email support.

The first salary I got, I spent it to set up the internet connection in our house and pay for the first month of my laptop’s bill. I’ve given 100% of my focus and I got promoted in just few weeks and had a full time job. I’ve became a manager of a Social Media Marketing Company. I’ve learned a lot of things during that time and enjoyed the freedom and comfort of working at home.

Getting a good paying job is really nice. I was able to buy appliances and furniture and a lot more. But it was not that really easy, though I’m working at home and earning a lot, it’s not making me feel happy and accomplished. I need to follow the schedule of the COO and the tasks requires a lot of time (usually at night). It even get to a point that my body suffered again because I overworked and I’ve got Spinal Hemangioma. I guess my weak body has its own way of saying when I should stop doing things that are not making me happy.

So now, I am freelancing. This is a better option for me because I can manage my own time. I want to pursue my passion. I want to fully know God and dedicate my life in loving God and loving people the best I could. All the physical pain I’ve endured taught me how it feels like to die, maybe that’s the reason why I value my time so much that I want to spend every second of it the way I want it.

It’s been two years now since my heart and my life was broken. I’ve recovered. My best friend, who is now my fiance, and I are planning to be together for life and I am happy and I am pursuing my passion while working at home. I am a volunteer in Kid’s Church at Victory Fort and I’ve been freelancing. I’m a content writer, social media marketing specialist and a blogger. I manage my own time and I feel more alive.

As of right now, I am a Certified Facebook Blueprint Creative Strategist, Certified Google Educator, Influencer to over 26,000 Bonafide Filipino Freelancers and working with 2 long-term clients.

Our achievements and certifications are good, but these are not my ultimate goal. My main purpose in life is to live my life totally dependent on God's love as His precious child. I am nothing but a receiver of God's love, an overflowing love that meets the needs of my clients and the people I love.
