Discover Camana Bay

As mentioned in my previous blog post, I recently got a job at my dream company, a Swiss bank. It is located at one of Grand Cayman’s hot spots for tourists, Camana Bay. I remember my first visit there as a tourist, it almost felt like I’m back in Bonifacio Global City. The location is very aesthetic and it houses almost every essential establishment you could think of. There is a bookstore, numerous restaurants and cafe’s, clinics, cinema for leisure, mini gardens for picnic, and ofcourse the Fosters (the grocery store) is just a few steps away. 

Definitely, having your workplace there is such a privilege. The entire location has state of the art facilities especially the security and data centre. Most companies there are wealth management / investments banks and audit firms. I remember my previous co-workers aspiring to work there as well. 

Now my mom, upon knowing my transfer, is very excited and curious as to how working there is like. She would always ask me to send her photos so she would feel like she is also there with me. And so I decided to tag you along with my virtual tour and hope you enjoy some photos of my super cozy and aesthetic work location!

Bus access is not a problem too as there is a walkway going to the main road for commuters like me. I would always get a little bit of grocery here and there before going home and it is such a convenience, I don’t have to waste another CI$ 4 just for transportation alone lol.  It’s also a nice place to hangout with friends especially in the night. The lights are scenic.

I am beyond blessed and thankful to be given the opportunity to work at such an amazing place ๐Ÿ™‚

    What else is there to do?

    The global health crisis has brought almost all nations into community quarantine, and here in Cayman, we are not an exemption. The government has recently mandated a lot of businesses to temporarily close due to the recent developments with the pandemic. As we speak, we have 9 active cases here on island, and the best measures the authority came up with are: Twenty-four (24) hour curfew (we literally panicked buy yesterday because no one is allowed to go out!), Island-wide lock down (airport is closed for passenger planes, only cargo is allowed), and To temporarily shut down non-essential business, causing a lot of employees to be laid off. And you guessed it right, I was laid off for two weeks with nothing much to do…

    Catching up

    Hi everyone, I’m writing to you now as a means of catching up for last month. I know a lot has been happening around the world especially in my home country, which makes me appreciate how privileged and blessed I am to be living here where the pandemic has been handled pretty well. I hope you guys are holding on. Anyway, last month has been (and I can’t stress this enough) HECTIC, in multiple facets of my life. Work per se has been voluminous,  CFA reviews and networking, home renovations, and finally launching our own business! All of that happened simultaneously in March. You can say yes I have been productive, but I have also abandoned a lot of other things like this blog, and…

    Today’s my birthday!๐Ÿฅณ

    I’m spending it here in Jamaica with my husband, in his hometown. It’s a little extra special this year because tomorrow also happens to be our first wedding anniversary. Getting here was a bit hectic. I worked from 8:30AM until 3:30PM yesterday, rushed to the airport for our 5:30PM flight, landed and cleared immigration by 7:30PM, picked up the rental car, and then drove another 2.5 hours โ€” well, he drove not me lol It was my husband’s first time seeing his brother in a while, and his mom is also visiting at the same time (she’s based in the U.S.), so we ended up hanging out late. Around 1 AM, they surprised me with a birthday cake and sang happy birthday โ€” I wasn’t…

    Decoding ‘Billions’: An Investment Professional’s Perspective”

    I recently discovered a Netflix series called “Billions” (I know I’m late! Almost everyone in my workplace watched it years ago). I was amazed by the series because it provides great detail about the investment industry. I’ve watched many series where the main characters are doctors, art curators, book editors/publishers, and physicists, but never one about a portfolio manager. So, you can imagine my excitement when I finally found a series representing my profession. I’m currently on the 8th episode, and I can’t help but wonder how people outside of the industry perceive us after watching it. I wonder if they are curious about how much of what is shown on TV happens in real life. The answer is quite simple. Like most TV series,…

    Embracing change as I approach my 30s

    As I approach my 30s, I can’t help but reflect on the changes in my life over the past decade. I am proud of myself for persevering through life’s ups and downs and remaining committed to my goals and dreams. Recently, I have realized that my life is changing even more than I thought it would. Choosing a healthier lifestyle Choosing a healthier lifestyle is difficult and easier said than done. It’s incredibly challenging when there are so many online resources promising quick solutions to losing weight or getting fit. In today’s world, it’s effortless to find shortcuts to almost everything, thanks to AI technology that is widely available to everyone. However, adopting a healthy lifestyle requires more than consulting AI-powered assistants. Making real progress…

  • Mundane Moments

    Hey how is everyone doing? It’s been busy as usual for me, with work, business, errands, trying to get fit and a bunch of different things going on. It’s kind of hard to fit in documenting and sharing my life on social media these days. As you can see I am barely even writing anything on this space, well because of time limitations but mostly because what is even there to talk about? lol Anyway one day I had this bright idea of shamelessly filming myself to somehow show you guys how a simple day in my life is… and here it is. It was fun while it lasted but I have like 5% skills in video editing lol I hope I can be better…
