I talked about my AB Humanities journey at UA&P’s Career Fair and how it has shaped me to become the published author that I am today. I emphasized how my Humanities background has helped me reinvent myself when I got sick and became a PWD. Having a Humanities background has propelled me to explore my skills in writing and conceptualizing my books so that I can fully focus on my health. 📚 Please support me and buy my books on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Lazada and Shopee 🤍 It was also an honor to share the stage with my BFF @mitzie2014 🫰🏼And as always, seeing familiar faces in my alma mater reminds me of where I have started. @uapasia @uapoaa I will always be here to share how my UA&P life has empowered me through the years. I really meant what I said in my speech, that my college era was the happiest time of my life. 🐉
How it Started vs. How It’s Going
How it started (2004-2008) vs. How it’s going (2023) 🖤 The first photo is from a party during my university years. I graduated from UA&P in 2008. I enjoyed my Humanities subjects, but my favorite class was APS Japan under @mitzie2014. 🫶🏼 The second photo was taken during my visit to @uapasia to talk about my career as a published author along with other accomplished authors. ✍️ Now, I have 13 published books and counting. My books are sold worldwide on Amazon, Google Play, Barnes and Noble. One of my favorite retailers is Books Kinokuniya in Japan, as seen in the last photo. 🖤 I am sharing this to remind everyone about the power of dreams, purpose, hard work, and passion. I hope that your experiences will inspire you to reach for your stars even during the darkest days. ✨ And do not forget to share your skills so that others will also learn from your journey. 🖤 NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS!🫶🏼 #authorlife #amazonauthor @ukiyotopublishinghouse

It was an honor to speak at my alma mater 👩🎓 UA&P @uapasia about my career as a published author. It was also great to see my fellow speakers and colleagues @juanekis, @keyboardavenger of @tablaynovel, and @paolo.herras of @komiketph. It was an evening of learning, encouragement, and real talk.
