Hi, I’m Ginger or Ginj!
I’m a wife to a loving husband, Ej, and a mommy to a daughter named Zeeka. I have been a blogger for several years for ManilaReviews.com and ManilaFitness.com Last December 2012, I decided to create a blog where I can share episodes from my life as a mom and an entrepreneur. You are on it now! This is the only blog that I maintain now and I am so proud of this blog!
Ever since I was young, I’ve enjoyed doing and discovering so many things. This led me to try out different hats! When I was in third grade, I used to sell DIY headbands that I made to my classmates during lunch. When I grew older, I was involved in a lot of school activities (editor-in-chief of our school paper, active our English club, student council, founded the track team of our college, etc.) while training for aerobics marathons and 10K marathons. I worked as an account executive for ad agencies, worked as a Managing Director for a fast food franchise, and I also worked in both the sales and product management and development teams for a well-known bank for almost 7 years.
I, Mommy Ginger, have been a dog breeder, freelance make-up artist, product stylist and even a social entrepreneur (helped launched the careers of 5 Filipino designers). I do some of these activities still “occasionally”. Last October 2012, I resigned from my day job as a banker to concentrate on my pregnancy. I previously had a miscarriage and some pregnancy complications, so my husband and I decided it was time for me to work-at-home. From my home (while waiting for my baby!), I handle a brand that I built early 2012 called Manila Workshops.
I partner with speakers or those who want to share knowledge about a topic that they are experienced and well-versed at to a small group of individuals who want to experience and do the same thing. These are workshops like videography, make up application, blogging, personal finance workshops, parenting or even being a work-at-home-mom. I found fulfilment in this endeavour since I love helping people achieve their personal and professional goals in life.
In 2016, I made my way back to one of my loves which is product development and co-founded a tech startup called Taxumo.
Taxumo is a company that aims to spur economic growth by helping MSMEs, professionals and freelancers focus on the core business by freeing them from one of their major stressors — tax compliance. Taxumo is a software-as-a-service that automates the computation, filing and payment of business taxes for the above identified markets.
I have also made a personal promise of spreading my knowledge in entrepreneurship, business and marketing, which is one of my goals in my life list. I know that a lot of people would love to start their own businesses. I can help by guiding you one step at a time until you have completely launched your business.
The goal of this blog is become a site where I could share stories of my life as a mom, to share tips on how to be a full-fledged entrepreneur and startup founder, and where we all could share tips on how to achieve a life we love and want!
This blog is dedicated to my husband, Ej and my daughter, Zeeka! I love you both! 🙂
