G'day mate!
Do you have someone whom you look up to or inspire you? I do. Aside from the inspirations I get from my family, close friends, teachers, and friends here in read, I have a list of people from different backgrounds who inspire me on what I wanna do and what I wanna become.
Here they are:
Li ZiQi-She is a 31 years old woman who was raised by her grandparents because her parents were separated. She used to work as a DJ in one of the cities in China but went back to Sichuan...Then she started filming her daily chores. And I have never seen a woman or a person who is as multi-talented and multi-skilled as Li ZiQi. I am not sure if she'd ever want to marry, if she has to, I think it has to be someone like James Bond or Superman.
She cooks. It is not just ordinary cooking but she also knows how to present her food.
She farms. You will see her plow their field, water, and harvest the crops. They didn't have to buy their rice, corn, potatoes because she farms them. Actually, everything she cooks especially the vegetables and spices is from their farm or backyard- aside from some meat that they sometimes buy from the market.
She knows Bamboo handicrafts. She makes a house, furniture, cooking materials, handicrafts from Bamboo. Her grandpa taught her since she was a child.
She sews and makes her clothes- She planted cotton and cultured silkworms and sewed her own cloak, made a slipper, hat, and a bed cover for her grandma. How lucky Nana is. Also, she makes her own makeup out of roses and other natural ingredients.
I strongly suggest you check her YouTube videos and I tell you, you'll get hooked watching her. She actually got a Guinness Book of World Records for being the first female who got 16M followers for a Chinese language on YouTube.
Gordon Ramsay- This legendary chef inspires me to love the kitchen or cooking in general. He doesn't stop learning despite being one of the best chefs in the world. He discovers different flavors and cooking techniques by exploring around the world. I was so amazed when he was a sport when an auntie from Malaysia beat him in the cooking contest. He is so down to earth, very grounded person.
Rodrigo Duterte- People might not like him for his tongue like Gordon but you will see him as what he is by his performance. The Philippines never had this many infrastructures built until he came. He made life easier for the ordinary Filipinos. Do you know that he used to drive a taxi when he was still a mayor in Davao and brought a patient to the hospital? He visits children with cancer and cries when a soldier dies. He even kissed the ground for those men who died in Zamboanga or Sulu, the highest form of respect a person can give to either a living or a dead person I was shocked when the people from so-called "top universities" mocked him for doing it. He mandated the Boracay rehabilitation, the Dolomite beach project, the changes in NAIA, etc. This man has a great political will. And I am not here to start a political debate. Let us agree to disagree.
Krizette Chu-This beautiful woman can launch a ship of relief goods whenever she wants. I have never seen someone as generous as her here in the Philippines. She is willing to give up her collections of luxury items just to help people. She goes beyond that, really. She uses her influence to make life better for those who needed her. She had gadgets and load projects for those deserving students since the pandemic started. She gives monthly top-ups to financially challenged students and right now, her project is giving printers to teachers in any part of the country. When she calls for Bayanihan, people listen to hear. She really is something.
Mama Alawi- I love her as she is. She married a rich man but she proved to him she can survive with her kids without his aid after their separation. She raised Ivana and her siblings so well. They grew up grounded and generous. It is also evident that they have a good relationship as a family, they have open and honest communication towards each other as well. Plus, Mama Alawi is a good cook. I aspire to cook Biryani rice one day by following her tips.
Andy Eigenmann- This beautiful celebrity gave up fame and luxury and chose a simple, more private life on an island with her family. She was courageous enough to start from scratch and wasn't ashamed to do things just like an ordinary citizen despite her background. She chose to live with authenticity and loved an amazing guy who has the same passion as her: surfing. Nothing makes someone happier but having a partner who has the same goals and dreams as her.
Mimi Yuh- This YT influencer inspires me so much because he didn't give up doing what he loves and dreams high for his family. An influencer has to work hard for the content and editing of videos and starting from scratch has never been easy. He didn't get discouraged from having few subscribers in the beginning. Instead, he pushed harder to deliver entertaining content to his audience and it paid off. He is still humble despite his success. Whenever he collaborates with our celebrities and influencers, he remains respectful and funny. And I love him for loving his family. He gave back to his parents by buying their own house. They surely raised a good and loving son. Though we know it is not his responsibility to give them a good life, it makes him happy whenever he sees his family happy. He deserves to be blessed as he is a blessing.
