I have nine years of experience as graphic designer and visual merchandiser in a retail chain in Negara Brunei Darussalam and making display props, setting up floor and window display, designing effective print designs – ranging from a small signage to a large vinyl wrap, doing product photography and maintenance of the visual impact of the store were only few to mention my responsibilities in my previous job.
I hold a Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in Mathematics from Davao del Norte State College, Panabo City, Philippines with five different Leadership Awards (I was and am not really good in academics). I did not take a Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET).
I am a pure Karay-a, but I can also understand and speak Cebuano, Hiligaynon, Tagalog and English languages. I know a little of Malay language – just the basic and common phrases.
Online Presence
I started entering the blogosphere in 2009 and after a year I have created many blogs as effect of my excitement in blogging until I have found my niche after few months of hopping from one blogging platform to another and writing anything and everything under the sun which I felt good talking about.Though I have a little regret of having not a very good start in blogging, my learning from that experience is already a very good pay-off, and now I have the joy to maintain this blog, and other few blogs I have.
I have account on Google+, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Delicious, Flickr, StumbleUpon, Digg, and Pinterest but they are not updated very often.
I spend most of my online time on YouTube, my blogs and Facebook, as most nitezens do.
In February 2018, the YouTube channel of the CreativityWindow has receive the Silver Creator Award for reaching a milestone.
