What is the best thing that I love about my work? What I love most about my work is the profound opportunity to touch lives, to ignite inspiration, and to connect hearts. Through my art, my words, my ventures, and my content, I pour my soul into sharing a vision of beauty, hope, and possibility with the world. There’s no greater fulfillment than seeing my work bring joy to someone’s life, lift them in their darkest moments, or spark a flame of courage and creativity within them. What drives me most is knowing that my work carries pieces of my heart into the world, creating ripples of change. It reaffirms why I chose this path and reminds me every day that I am living my purpose. It is more than work—it is my life’s greatest privilege.

What is my idea of happiness? Happiness, to me, is the laughter of my family, the warmth of my husband’s smile, and the quiet moments that fill my soul—a sunrise, a loving embrace, the stillness of nature. It’s seeing my dreams come alive and knowing I’ve touched lives with hope and inspiration. It’s waking up with gratitude, feeling alive and free to create, and finding strength in choosing myself so I can give my best to others. True happiness is an inner peace—a deep knowing that I’m exactly where I’m meant to be, living a life of love, purpose, and kindness.

What is my greatest fear? My greatest fear is losing the freedom to pursue my passions and the loved ones who give my life its deepest meaning. After overcoming so much, the thought of being unable to create, inspire, or live authentically feels unbearable. I fear a life where I can’t share love, joy, and hope with the world or fulfill my purpose of making a positive impact. Ultimately, I fear being silenced by circumstances beyond my control, unable to express the essence of who I am or cherish the moments that make life truly meaningful.

What is the trait that I most deplore in myself? My creative journey is often marked by two contrasting forces. On one hand, I struggle with uncertainty and self-doubt about my art, writing and content creation. On the other hand, my meticulous nature and passion for excellence sometimes lead to overly critical self-evaluation, but ultimately build resilience, inspire new ideas and foster success.

Which living persons in my profession do I most admire? As someone who wears many hats—artist, content creator, author and entrepreneur—I deeply admire individuals who have left indelible marks in their respective fields while pushing boundaries. Yayoi Kusama inspires me with her fearless creativity and unique perspective that has reshaped contemporary art. Ai Weiwei’s courage to blend art with activism and stand for truth resonates with my belief in using talent to make a difference. I also look up to visionary entrepreneurs like Elon Musk and Jack Ma, who have not only revolutionized industries but have shown the power of persistence and innovation in building something extraordinary. These individuals remind me to dream boldly, create fearlessly, and lead with purpose.

What is my greatest extravagance? My greatest extravagance is traveling. I believe in experiencing the world in a way that’s neither overly indulgent nor frugal. For me, it’s about traveling comfortably—staying in nice accommodations, enjoying good food, and immersing myself fully in the beauty and culture of each destination. It’s not about luxury for the sake of it but about making the journey as meaningful and enjoyable as the destination.

On what occasion would I lie? I hold honesty and transparency in high regard, but I also recognize the importance of discretion when it comes to sharing the truth. There are times when I may tell a small lie if the truth serves no real purpose—particularly if it helps protect someone’s feelings or prevents unnecessary conflict. For me, it’s about fostering kindness and maintaining harmony, always aiming to create understanding rather than hurt.

What is the thing that I dislike the most in my work? The thing I find most challenging in my work is the constant pressure to deliver fresh, innovative ideas—it can sometimes feel overwhelming. Coupled with this is the perpetual race against time; there never seems to be enough of it to bring all my visions to life. Balancing creativity and deadlines often requires more than just passion—it demands endurance, focus, and a little grace.

When and where was I the happiest, in my work? Completing a meaningful project like my children’s book, which helps children understand their feelings and mental health, and seeing the positive impact it has on others, is one of the moments when I feel truly happy in my work. Additionally, my paintings, when finished, bring positive vibes to people, creating a sense of joy and inspiration. Being able to offer life coaching for mental health, guiding individuals to realize they are not alone and providing the support they need, brings me a profound sense of fulfillment. These experiences allow me to blend my passion for creativity with my desire to make a positive difference in the lives of others.

If I could, what would I change about myself? If I could, I think I would change the way I manage my many responsibilities. Sometimes, the pressure of balancing everything—my roles as an artist, content creator, entrepreneur, and my personal life —can be overwhelming. I wish I could find a way to manage my time more effortlessly, so I could fully immerse myself in creativity, spend more quality time with my family, and take better care of myself. These are the changes I think would bring more harmony and fulfillment to my life.

What is my greatest achievement in work? My greatest achievement in work is the creation of my first painting, Eunoia. It was the spark that ignited my artistic journey, allowing me to share a piece of my soul with the world. From dreaming and hoping to finally taking that first step, Eunoia gave me the courage to explore my creativity, find my voice, and fill my life with color. Through this painting, I expressed my vision of beauty, hope, and emotional depth, touching the hearts of countless people. The impact it had on others, inspiring them to see the extraordinary in the ordinary, fills me with a profound sense of fulfillment and purpose. Eunoia is a testament to my commitment to creativity and my unwavering belief in the transformative power of art.

Where would I most like to live? Maybe I’ll build my own city named Eunoia City, right here in our beloved Philippines, in my comfort zone. A place where all the best rules from different parts of the world come together to ensure harmony and prosperity. Eunoia City will be a sanctuary—a place where people can thrive, smile, and live happily every day. It will be a city filled with peace, safety, and natural beauty, where the simplicity of life meets the richness of shared experiences. Each street and home will radiate a sense of belonging, where everyone feels valued and empowered to pursue their dreams. In Eunoia City, we’ll find the magic of living together in perfect harmony, where love, creativity, and laughter flow freely. This city will be a beacon of hope, a testament to the

What is my most inspirational location, in my city? In my city, the most inspirational location for me is where our new home is located—where my married life began. It serves as a powerful reminder of the foundation we’ve built together, the values we hold dear, and the unwavering belief and faith that guide our lives. This special place is where our dreams took root, where we set out to create a life filled with love, creativity, and purpose. It’s a sanctuary that nurtures our family’s growth, fostering a sense of belonging and inspiration.

This cozy, intimate space holds so many cherished memories from our early days, where every dish was made with passion and every moment shared was filled with meaning. Effendi embodies the heart of our story, where flavors and joy blend together, making it a place I hold dear.

These books have equipped me with the mindset, tools, and wisdom to live a more intentional, fulfilled life.

You Only Die Once. What music would I listen to on my last day? On my last day, I would listen to the poignant, heartwarming melodies of Merry Go Round Of Life from Howl’s Moving Castle. Studio Ghibli’s music has always resonated deeply with me, capturing the magic, nostalgia, and profound beauty of life’s journey. This piece, with its gentle, sweeping notes, would remind me of cherished moments and the timeless enchantment of the world around us. It embodies a sense of wonder and peace that I would want to carry with me as I reflect on my life.

Who is my hero or heroine in fiction? In my fictional daydreams, my hero is myself—a powerful and unwavering figure, embodying extraordinary abilities like teleportation, healing, and telekinesis. I see myself as the ultimate heroine—someone who transcends the ordinary, bending reality to my will. With my superpowers, I can protect those I love, heal the wounded, and shape the world around me. I soar above the clouds, explore hidden realms, and confront any challenge with unwavering strength and grace. This heroic version of myself is not just about superhuman abilities; it’s about embracing my inner strength, using it to uplift others, fight for justice, and create a better
world. Someday, just maybe, I will write about this—capturing the essence of this powerful, compassionate, and resilient heroine within me.

Who are my heroes and heroines in real life? In addition to my parents, my real-life heroes include my husband and the inner strength within me. While my parents chose to raise me, they weren’t perfect, and circumstances were beyond their control. They did their best with what they knew at the time and I am grateful for that. But my husband stands out as a true hero in my life. We face struggles together, supporting each other through thick and thin, and finding strength in our love and commitment. The me within me—my inner strength—is another hero. It’s the resilience and courage I find in myself, allowing me to rise above challenges, embrace my flaws, and keep moving forward.

Which movie would I recommend to see once in a lifetime? I recommend the movie about Diana Nyad because her incredible story of perseverance and determination is truly inspiring. Her record-breaking swim from Havana to Florida at 64 demonstrates the strength of the human spirit, showing that age and challenges should never deter us from our dreams. Nyad’s journey is a powerful reminder to “never ever give up,” making her a remarkable hero whose story should be experienced by all at least once in a lifetime.
