My freelancing journey started during the onset of the pandemic in the Philippines. Like many families, we were worried about finances, and I was determined to find a way to help my husband with our household expenses during those uncertain times. I started searching for online jobs, even though I had zero freelancing experience (yes, none at all!).

At that time, I was juggling digital projects, content, clients, and about a million tabs open in my browser. I didnât want something âperfect.â I wanted something reliable. Something that wouldnât make me feel like I needed a computer science degree just to change a headline. Thatâs when I found Hostinger.

So last May 25, we celebrated my little Princessâs 7th birthday. Her initial request was a Roblox-themed party, but a few months before her birth month, she suddenly had a change of heart and chose Kuromi instead. As much as we wanted to make it extra memorable for her, we werenât able to hire a photographer and videographer since the catering and venue costs were higher than what we expected. But if youâre also planning a Kuromi-themed party for your little girl and are located here in Angono, Iâll be breaking everything down for you later in this post.

Calaguas Island 2025: Why This Hidden Philippine Paradise Should Be on Your List
We held our annual company outing from April 25 to 27 at Calaguas Island in Vinzons, Camarines Norteâalso as a way to celebrate my momâs birthday. It was one of the trips I had been looking forward to the most since our Boracay trip last year.

Its stunning âlime-coloredâ waters are said to be…
