about me
I always had an interest in writing before I embarked on the path as a writer. Previously immersing myself in writing short fanfics and curating the next unexpected plot twist. Personally, I lean into baroque style of writing as I have a head full of metaphors and
a heart for poetry.
Previously working for Printcafe Print & Paper Co. on 2015 as a Corporate Sales Manager + Online Business Executive, developed my love and respect for the paperie and printing industry which also lead me to learn calligraphy as I was inspired by my graphic designer co-workers. This is most likely why arts and crafts is
still my go-to for weekend afternoon musings.
Moving into 2016, I was convinced to work for the family business for three years. As a result of my desire to start my own shop after taking a break for one year, I delved into the world of Business Process Outsourcing as an RX Medical Representative at Optum Global Solutions. It was the most humbling experience of my whole career in the corporate world. See my "Leap Year" blog
to read the whole story.
I currently work as a Social Media Manager at eSEOspace which involves creating unique Marketing content, branding outlines, and writing bylines for international clients to name a few. My goal is to pursue the world of creatives by learning basic graphic designing and illustration.
special notes from friends
Uniquely one-in-a-million
Janine is one of the sweetest, most tender-hearted people you will ever meet. She sees the good in everything. She is very beautiful, true, loyal, genuine, compassionate, strong, courageous, empowering, encouraging, and a trustworthy friend that makes it easy to open and be comfortable around her. You won't ever have to worry about ruining your friendship with her because you are truly blessed.
She is loving, family-oriented, and God-fearing, but also has a fierceness to do whatever she puts her mind on. Her enthusiasm is contagious and her sunny disposition brings out the best in everyone. Through the years, she has greatly developed her character. From a girl who has chosen not to speak for herself has now become someone who can fearlessly stand up for herself. She is not afraid to take risks in order to grow wiser and mature.
Be inspired. Be astounded. She is beyond what you could ever imagine!
Shades of humble yellow and burning red
It's unusual to describe someone as a color but Janine is yellow. She is as bright as the sun with her bubbly and infectious energy. She can light up a room when she wants to. Some days, she's a shade of warm yellow. She makes you feel at home, at ease. You can be who you truly are with her.
Sometimes, she's this strong shade of yellow — like a lemon. It's still pleasant to the eyes but it definitely stands out amongst other fruits. This is when she is determined to be better, never better than anyone else, but a better version of herself. There's one more color I see when I think of Janine, she is red in the way she is passionate about art, in the way she loves people, and in the way she loves God. She is a mixture of yellow and red in the most unique and beautiful way possible.
A woman of many passions
Janine has always been bright yet humble. Abundant yet selfless. She is willing to give to those around her more than she receives or deserves. For someone who has a fair number of talents and creativity, she still remains as modest and down-to-earth. She expresses herself through various art forms such as song, dance, and writing.
Now the universe sees her and endows with opportunities to do things for herself to really shine. It is amazing how, with boldness and grit, she takes big concrete steps towards the fruition of her dreams. Not many are brave enough to do that, let alone have the consciousness of what they want and what they are capable of. Her wings have now fully expanded and she is ready to take flight.
Her faith in the One who created
the heavens and earth
Above everything else, she lives as a woman of God. She keeps glowing and growing in Christ. She trusts and fears God above all else and that's really the best characteristic that one should have. You can run to her for spiritual advice and you won't be disappointed.
Through her unwavering faith, she continues to transform and has become an instrument in the lives of others. She won't be chained down by what others say, but only what God says.
