Medyo kaka-iba mga goals ko nung bata ako.. they contradicted each other – florist kasi na addict ako dati over Thalia and her character as “Rosalinda”! Doctor kasi gusto ko mang gamot ng libre sa mahihirap , Pilot dahil na amused ako sa mga eroplanong lumilipad sa ibabaw ng bahay namin galing Plaridel airport, Artista naman dahil sa kagustuhan ng aking nanay saka gusto ko din sana ma pa-aral lahat mga kapatid at pinsan ko. Ito katuwa sa lahat, mga 6 yrs old ako noon - pinangarap ko talaga maging magla-lako ng manggang hinog!! May mga puno kasi kami ng mangga sa probinsya tapos cool na cool sa tingin ko ung mga aleng may bilao sa ulo habang nagla-lako ng paninda nila. No joke! – Well, with the exception (still) of being a mango peddler, I’d say I got to experience all of them one way or another. Flight school, showbiz... I am actually now a gardener and sick people - I heal in Jesus’ name!! And even though I wasn’t as successful as I could’ve chosen to be in the industry of showbiz and aviation, I am living my dream life. I absolutely love the woman of God I am becoming!! And it feels so good to say. . . He’s not even finished with me yet!!! Drop a ♥️ below if you love the wo / man you’re becoming!!! #ThankYouJesus
