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,…

I can’t believe it! I am now officially part of the married women club! Nothing much has changed, to be honest, given that my husband and I have been living like a married couple for a while now. But still, it’s nice to know that we’re now officially bound together for life.  We decided to get married in the Cayman Islands to avoid the tedious process of applying for a marriage license in the Philippines.

It’s been more than a month since I was present here.  Even the Blogspot interface has changed lol. I moved out of my old place, I’ve left my job, and after a month I’m finally starting a career at my dream workplace — a Swiss Bank. Phew. Such a life development. I am looking forward to a better work environment, supportive colleagues, and weekends finally! I can’t believe I’m having my weekends off again after two…

Hey guys! How have you been? It’s been a while! *blows dust off this blog* I have been surprisingly busy the past few days especially with work. The economy is slowly getting back on its feet in this side of the world. In response to COVID-19 crisis, the Cayman Islands government has allowed residents, regardless of age, to withdraw at least 25% of their pensions. Guess what happened? Locals are shopping now more than ever and spending tons of their money on new stuff such as home renovations, appliances, air conditioning, and what not. As you may all know, I work at an air conditioning and appliance business so sales has been crazy like it’s the holiday season. Can you imagine, in some parts of…
