If there is one thing I love aside from my kids and the moon, it's storytelling. I used to join essay writing competitions back in high school and college. I knew I had this passion for writing and there was even a point in my life where I was convinced that I wanted to be a journalist but sometimes when you think you got it all figured out LIFE takes you on a roller coaster detour full of the unexpected and so here I am - almost thirty, independent and proud Single Mom who is striving to rediscover the things that I love and the ones that I am passionate about.
I'm Jessa, my friends and people I grew up with calls me Bambam. Wanna know why?
If you're a fan of fireworks, I bet one of your fave holidays is the New Year. I was born on January 1, 1993, just an hour after the clock strike 12. I could just imagine the sky lighting up and people celebrating while my Mom is shouting in the labor room, I bet it was a party indeed. 😅 It was my Mom's OB who came up with my nickname - hence Bambam.
And just like those fireworks, I grew up to be bold and loud. I'm an ambivert, a risk taker, and an adventure seeker. I'm spontaneous and sometimes impulsive but mostly in a positive way (I guess). I love the outdoors, I enjoy hiking and just being with nature.
I'm from Guiuan, Eastern Samar, a place not only known for super typhoons but also for its pristine white sand beaches and its surfing gem - Calicoan Island, But currently I'm living in Cebu City for almost 5 years now - working in the corporate world at night and a full-time Raketera and Super Mom by day.
I am a Mother and also a bread-winner of my family. My father passed away years ago and being the eldest I took over the responsibility of taking care and providing for my family. I'm a mother to this three wonderful kids, the first one is a set of twins who is now 12yrs old and the youngest is 5 yrs old.
Most of the content that I will be sharing will be focus mainly on travel blogs, tips and how to, life lessons, parenting, food, and any thing that may spark positivity and inspiration to others who read it.
I'm just so excited to start sharing my passion through writing in this platform. I hope we get to inspired and learn from each other. Can't wait to read your stories too! Let me know what you think in the comments section.
I'd really appreciate it if you could also share some tips and links that may help me navigate and make the most of out this platform. Cheers and keep safe!
Hello Bambam! Kabayan! I am from Bohol quite a neighbour I would say. Nice to meet you. I love how your smile can light up the world and how positive you are with life despite what I would imagine is a hardship of single motherhood. Your kids are very lucky to have you.
