Visions

10 years from now, I am a Civil Service passer and Foreign Service Examination passer working in the Department of Foreign Affairs as a consul in Embassy of the Philippines to any European Country. I will be known by many Filipinos because of my passion to serve them. By that time, our old and tattered shack in Pangasinan will be transformed into a new and comfortable home for my parents and grandparents to stay in. My parents are just relaxing at home by that moment. I also see myself as a business women selling fashionable clothes in the mall nationwide.

To sum it all up, I am not the shy type girl living in Quiapo anymore. Instead, I will be a women that is confident, contented,  and well-known in the society. By then I will be living a simple life with my family and my own family.

Miss Future Ambassador

Hi there! This is my first time here, yes I am a newbie but I'm expecting that you will read my blogs. LOL

I am Janice Andrea R. Lim, 17 years old from Quiapo, Manila. I am studying at Lyceum of the Philippines University-Manila taking up Bachelor of Arts in Foreign Service, majoring in Diplomacy. As you can see I am a diplomat wanna be and for me it is the coolest job in the world. I like communicating with different people and learn from them. I super like fashion because fashion can make pretty people look even more beautiful. Agree? My favorite topic in class is politics. Eversince I became a college girl, politics got my interest. So if given a chance, I wanna take that up. LOL, I'm such a DREAMER.

My favorite part from Taylor Swift’s song “A Place in This World”

I don't know what I want, so don't ask me

Cause I'm still trying to figure it out

Don't know what's down this road, I'm just walking

Trying to see through the rain coming down

Even though I'm not the only one

Who feels the way I do

I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know

I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on

Oh, I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in this world

Today, I am still thinking if it is possible to be an ambassador for a girl who is too shy of expressing herself in front of many people. And is it really possible for a Quiapo girl to be an ambassador in the future?  Mind you, I'm not even embarrassed to tell everyone that I grew up in a place that is known to be one of the scariest place in Metro Manila because of snatchers, gullibles, hold-uppers etc. I believe that where you came from doesn't matter, it's how you pilot your life. Maybe I'm not the best, but I am sure that I am different from others. The QUIAPO GIRL who once dreamed will soon be living the dream.
