I always try to find ways to make my life more meaningful for others / society. Besides what I already do right now, I have tried to carve a musical path on the side, having passed the auditions and then briefly attended UP Concert Chorus and Madrigal Singers rehearsals, but I eventually wasn't able to carry on because of this existing 9-6 day career.
The kind of person that I am puts me in the visual or musical art field, armed with the end goal of entertaining or inspiring people. But I have to choose one road, because I've found out that it's impossible to juggle both at this time.
I guess my main mission right now is to make this magazine beautiful, and in the process somehow make the lives of these young girls more interesting, inspired and enjoyable. To be part of the team effort of making them feel better about themselves, with the secondary objective of helping brands sell more products as well, hence creating growth in the clothing and beauty industry. More jobs for everyone too.
I might not have the opportunity to lay down my life for my country like Gabriela Silang, write hundreds of cook books like Betty Crocker, discover new elements like Marie Curie, or be an authority on social etiquette like Judith Martin. I sometimes envy people who are able to contribute so much. This job of mine was never one of my childhood dreams (journalist, businesswoman, scientist). I don't think that highly of my job, as some people do, because I always view myself in comparison to other great women.
But as long as I am able to somehow make some people happy, and make myself happy as well, I think I'm fine with this.
