          	I know some of us are not that victorious, for the battles of life don’t end yet. Nevertheless, give yourself a little cheer up and tap on your shoulder because here’s another year full of chances to live our lives the way we desire. ✨
          	
          	Thank you to all the people who became a part of my 2021. Thank you for the love, support, respect, care, stress, frustrations, and breakdowns. Good or bad, I’m grateful for everything that I experienced. 
          	
          	Let 2022 become a year to recharge our hope for our better days.

Recently, I just announced that it's my sixth anniversary as a Wattpad Ambassador. But I was corrected that the official count must start from the day that I was badged. Technically, that's on 10 February. 15 January is just an anniversary on how I got my luck to be invited to take part on the Ambassador newbie training.
          
          From 10 February 2015 until this day, I will always be grateful and nostalgic. I will always be proud of all my experiences as an Ambassador. 
          
          Imagine this: I've waited to turn *16 years old when I submitted my application because I'm eager to be part of this Team!
          
          Here are my highlights during my tenure, by the way:
          1. I'm one of/the youngest Ambassador(s) back then.
          2. I assisted on Wattys almost every year.
          3. I had the chance to work as a Community Associate. 
          4. I had assisted with different projects/campaigns.
          5. I personally met Sir Allen Lau, other Wattpad staffs, my favourite Wattpad writers and fellow Wattpadders during the annual Summer and MIBF meet ups.
          
          But everything must come to an end. Today, I am officially out from the Team. I left my role as a Senior Engagement Ambassador. Thus, if you have any concerns and such, please don't hesitate to contact the AmbassadorsPH Team on their accounts.
          
          Happy Wattpadding!

@iamloid  I live in California, a lot of Filipinos live here. My town does not have a lot of Filipino stores, but if you go to the Bay Area (Northern CA) they have a Goldilocks, Valerio, Jolibee and other stores you can find in the Philippines. It's alright, many think I was born in the US, until I tell them. In fact, I used to volunteer in a hospital. I was walking with this old lady  who kept bragging about how her Caucasian son married a beautiful Filipino Lady, have beautiful kids since they are mixed and how she learned Tagalog. By the time we got to our destination, I was 'one ear and  out the other' meaning I tuned out. (I didn't mean to be rude, but why was she telling me this? My job was just to take her to her to another building. Yes, I'm an introvert at times and I don't like to converse when I'm on the job. I don't like to gossip like my cousins do.) So I just said to the old lady, "Well, here we are, it's been nice talking to you and I wish you and your family the best. " I'm pretty modest.
            
            Yes, it would be nice to meet another Wattpad friend. I met one whose from Canada. She came to visit her cousin in San Jose, so we had a short meet-up.

@Glory_feeling2 Where in the US? I always dreamt of going there someday. If I can, maybe we can meet? To be honest, I also thought of you being born in the US. Oh my, I'm so sorry that you've experienced being laughed at. I do hope you can still practice your Tagalog and your condition to be better.
            
            That's awesome! Let's see that, I hope we can meet someday!

@iamloid Thanks. I didn't join AmbassadorsPH because I cannot verbally think in Tagalog. I speak more English than our dialect because I was raised in the US as a toddler. I was born in Bataan, but my parents flew to the states since my Dad was in the Navy. Many think I was born in America but no. I understand Tagalog, but I will talk to you in English, that's why I am embarrassed to talk in Filipino chat rooms because I once was laughed at. My parents speak to me in Tagalog so I know what's being said, I just have to sound it out. People don't understand that it's connected to my childhood brain cancer. In summary, the part of my brain that's geared for language skills was affected. I had to relearn how to talk and since I had a lot of speech therapists who spoke English ... that's what I mostly speak. If I share my cancer story with the ones who laughed at me, then they apologize.  But it's ok, they just assume. 
            In college, I took up a Filipino class for one semester (I'm glad I did it). I learned a lot in that class. Many also call me Ate because I'm one of the older ambassadors, so again I was embarrassed to be among the younger ones.
            
            I haven't been back in PI since 1997, but once the Pandemic is clear, I might come back to visit. I have an aunt who lives in Quezon City ( I think that's near Manila) so if you want to meet we can.
