Progress

Five days since my arrival here in Iloilo and I'm learning a lot from the stuff I've been reading. I have also realized more goals that I want, reinforced most of the goals I already have in mind and have read a lot of people I can look up to.

One of them is Kidlat Tahimik. 

He turned his back on the lifestyle that a Wharton-educated boy could have to pursue his calling for the Filipino arts and culture. I am just really amazed of his strong principle. I wish that all of us would find our calling and that we'll have enough strength to pursue it. Kidlat now owns and runs Oh My Gulay Cafe (OMG Cafe) in  La Azotea Bldg. in Baguio City which he manages with his three sons. It also serves as a haven for artists to showcase their masterpiece- painting, sculptures, music, etc. Next time you're in Baguio, don't just be excited with all the ukay finds. Immerse yourself in some real Pinoy culture, and visit the cafe. :)

Who are your inspirations?
