#FromCharToYou
Hello my loves 🙂 ♥ I hope you’re all doing well! I just wanted to quickly jump on here to let you know (in case you don’t follow me on other social medias) that I’m currently having a few giveaways this month! At the moment there’s two giveaways on my Instagram, one on my Vlog Channel and one on my main channel ♥ All are linked below so go check it out to win some prizes!
As I mentioned, I wanted to quickly jump on here… and really tell you guys, I guess the reason on why I’m doing so many giveaways. Obviously the main reason is, I wanted to thank you all somehow for all the love and support. Truly, YouTube (and you) had made such a big impact in my life and it still is. You all have seen and helped me grow to be the person I am now.
If I was to tell my 16 year-old self that in the future I would be traveling, crossing things off my bucket list and have all the things that I have now at this age, I wouldn’t have believed it… never in a million years do I think I’d be here right now, with this life. I want you guys to know that I am very grateful for everything that I have and thankful for all the people that I know and have in my life.
I grew up in the Philippines and my family isn’t wealthy. I know what it’s like to have nothing, to have to work for the things you want. My parents taught me to keep pursuing. Even though we had nothing, they still encouraged me to go to school and get that degree, to push to reach my dreams no matter what.
I still remember the days when I was in college and all I’d have was $30 per week (sometimes even for two weeks) from my parents – that was money for food and gas. That might sound like nothing now, but that got me through. I still remember having to go to work right after classes just to have that extra bit of money. Those late nights after getting back from work to finish a project. I still remember working at a factory all summer long with those 12 hour shifts just to save up enough money to pay for my tuition so I wouldn’t have to ask my parents for the money.
It was hard, but it was worth it and I am proud of it all. Keep dreaming and keep working hard. You WILL achieve your goals. I promise you. Never give up. Always remember that things happens for a reason and if one door closes, another will open. God works in mysterious ways but rest assure, he does have a plan for each and every one of us.
Thank you so much for making a huge difference in my life, for all the love and support on everything that I do. I know these giveaways aren’t that big but I hope to at least put a smile and brighten someone’s day with it. I’m wishing that in the future, I’ll be able to do more of these, to more of you guys. I honestly just want to give back and I hope to do more this coming year… especially to those that has less than me.
I love you guys so much, more than you will ever know.
