Welcome to my little corner of the internet! I’m thrilled you’ve stopped by to get to know me better. So grab a virtual drink (I’ll tell you why in a bit), and let me share my story with you.
I grew up in the beautiful province of Bataan, where my journey as an overachiever began. Not to brag, but I was first honor in kindergarten and valedictorian in elementary school. This academic streak continued through college, where I graduated cum laude. Little did I know, this was just the beginning of my adventures! For the past 18 years, I’ve been living the solo life in the hustle and bustle of Metro Manila. It’s been quite the ride, and I wouldn’t have it any other way!
By day, I’m a data analyst for a New York-based company. I love diving into numbers and uncovering insights. But here’s a little secret: I’m nurturing dreams of starting my own business. The goal? To break free from the 9-to-5 grind and support myself and my family on my own terms. Fingers crossed!
Speaking of family, they’re my world. I’m proud to say I’ve been able to send my two younger siblings to college and now I’m supporting my parents. It’s not always easy being the breadwinner, but it’s incredibly rewarding. When I’m not working or dreaming up business ideas, you’ll find me cuddling with my two exotic shorthairs, Minzy and Junior. They’re the latest additions to my cat family – I’ve had the joy of caring for nine cats over the years!
Travel is my passion. I’ve explored various countries in Asia and I’m itching to stamp my passport in other continents. And let me tell you, there’s nothing quite like coming home to my cats after a long trip! I’m a total foodie, and recently, I’ve taken my love for food to the next level by trying my hand at cooking. My personal take on Adobo is becoming legendary among my friends – you’ll have to try it sometime!
Don’t let all this talk of work and responsibilities fool you, I know how to have a good time! There’s nothing I enjoy more than unwinding with friends over a drink or two. It’s all about balance, right?
How to Be Friends with Chris:
1. Be ready to transform into a human pillow for impromptu cat cuddle sessions. Resistance is futile.
2. Develop a taste for whatever Chris is cooking. Your stomach may rebel, but your friendship will thank you.
3. Perfect your “oohing and aahing” skills for his travel photo slideshows. All 500 of them.
4. Learn to appreciate the subtle art of balancing work and play. Or as Chris calls it, “Excel by day, beers by night.”
5. Most importantly, bring your sense of humor. With Chris, you’ll need it!
