- Tell us a bit about yourself – what you do, your hobbies and etc
Hi, I am Viola. I am working at a developer firm. On my free time, I pursue my passion as a freelance write or blogger. I always had passion in hosting and events and therefore, this remains a part of my list of “Dreams come true”. I am glad that I get to do things that I love.
- What does a typical day in you life look like?
As our country is undergoing “Movement Control Order” due to Covid-19, I pretty much enjoy my Mom duties. 45 days have passed by and I just don’t feel it. Having a baby makes you forget that time exists. Without MCO, my daily life would be going to work, meeting clients, completing tasks, figuring out my life and what to do next, rushing back home to take care of my baby. It is as typical as any other days. Disney is part of our life. On special occasions, we would do something magical.
- Do you find it hard to balance family and work? If so, how do you overcome it?
Like any other person, I am a wife/mom with great sense of ceremony. Be it birthdays or any festive celebrations, I want to implement this in my own family. My husband is a sales person so his working time is fixed. We can’t both work and leave our child at home. Since my time is flexible as my job scope allows me to travel in and out of office so I take the larger portion in spending time with my child. I try not to arrange any jobs during weekends. But as a host, most of my events are held during weekends. So this is the time when I will weigh out which is important for me. Maybe if I work this weekend, I’ll make sure I don’t work the next coming weekend. I will also make sure I arrange any upcoming jobs at least 1 or 2 months in advance so that I can advise my family to help to care for my baby.
- Who or what inspires you?
BOOKS! Ernest Hemingway quoted “There is no friend as loyal as a book” I have to agree with that. Sometimes characters in books are the ones that bring out the best version of me. I spent a lot of time reading because I am an only child. Books became my best friend. I would ponder over a story that I have read and try to imagine life.
