When I was starting out, I had to overcome my fear of criticism and self-doubt. Now that I feel a little bit more seasoned in the industry, and finally becoming more comfortable in my own skin, I know that I can be at peace with myself and the decisions I make each day. I know that I have reached my ultimate in every instant that I am able to share beauty in a world that is filled with so much negativity, and I am truly grateful that I am able to do that through my creativity. #ThisIsMyUltimate #100UltimateWomen #CreamSilkPh @creamsilkph

No matter how many times you felt like you lost, you must never let it get inside your head and never let your losses define you. Sometimes, it’s when you get through your losses that you find your strength, and serve as your own reminder that if you got through that struggle, you can get through anything.

I remember the day I decided to hop on board the GuavaPass train. I was still part of the first ever trainer roster of Nike NTC during that time and in between hosting and modeling jobs. I had a lot of fears and was skeptical if the Manila Market was ready for this tech-product. But I had a fire in me and a feeling in my gut that THIS was going to change the fitness industry and lower the barrier for newbies in fitness everywhere. I decided to make this my passion — 3 years later, and the Guava bug is real. HEALTH IS WEALTH and I feel so fortunate to be able to help Filipinos achieve their fitness goals through @guavapassmnl 👊💪 When you feel passionate about something, take the plunge. After all, no guts, no glory. This is me at my ultimate. #100UltimateWomen #ThisIsMyUltimate @creamsilkph

Your abilities are what make you who you are—if you’re resourceful, loyal, perseverant, and resilient. These are your perfect traits and you must instill it in your mind to never question or underestimate them. They’re your weapons against everything life throws at you, so believe in them and use them well.

Entrepreneurship is very glamorized these days. But there are a lot of truths hardly anyone talks about—the wear & tear of 24/7 work, the pressure of keeping up, things you wish you were warned about or knew from the start, the sacrifices made at the expense of personal time, being in circumstances that show who has maintained integrity or lost it. . If you’re feeling under pressure, embrace it, let it refine you. Let it help you become the greatest version of you. It’s the pressure and challenges in life that help us shine and grow into something beautiful and valuable. The toughest, most beautiful stone on earth is produced under pressure—once a diamond, always remember you’re unbreakable. . #ThisIsMyUltimate #100UltimateWomen
