Jo Cadiz, in a glimpse…

 - Who am I, What I’ve become, and Who will I be? -

I am born Josefina Reyes Vesorde, noontime at JP Rizal Memorial Hospital in Calamba, Laguna on 13 September 19XX.

My mom told me that I started walking at 10 months old, and started conversing clearly a little after my first birthday. (gifted? Hehe)

I started schooling at the age of 4, “saling pusa” in a grade 1 class at Brgy. Pooc Elementary School. I never got to finish that year, why? Kasi hindi ako bigyan ng books ng teacher ko and worse, binato nya ng eraser ang classmate ko! Frustrated and frightened, I stopped going to class at once.

One year passed then I began my formal schooling. I entered Kindergarten at Sta. Rosa Elementary School. My first achievement as a student is becoming the valedictorian of the class, without knowing it until my teachers invited my mom to school to deliver the good news. Ang blooper, nakalimutan ko ang kalagitnaan ng speech ko nung graduation. Kaba to the max ang peg. Really funny, but my parents were never prouder.

My mom transferred me to a private school after. The school Holy Rosary Academy had been my second home from then on. After high school, I luckily passed UPCAT and studied BS Agricultural Economics in UPLB.

After graduation, I worked at Camella Homes, and yes, I got to personally see and mingle with MBV, Manny B. Villar. (He’s nice and handsome and mabango, Hehehe). After Camella, I worked at CHMI (Corporate Holdings and Management Inc. in Madrigal Business Park). I can proudly say that up to now, I am the record holder for having the highest pre-employment exam result in that company. Paano ko nalaman? E kasi sis ko sa org sa UP yung pumalit sa akin don and up to now, don pa din sya work. Hehe. After one month of service, I resigned in CHMI to transfer in PCFC.

PCFC I guess was the one who honed me to become who I am today. It was here where I got to experience a lot of things. First plane ride was one of the most memorable. My first travel was in Bohol, to attend an activity for account officers. There, I experienced my first crying moment in PCFC, because of an irritating teammate. Hay, bwisit sya talaga. Anyways, despite that, i'm thankful for the friends i've gained here at PCFC. It's the "homey" atmosphere in this office that makes me want to stay until i reached my 10th year of service, after that who knows, maybe i already have my own business to mind. As in business ha, negosyo in its true sense! 

Most especially, it was in PCFC where I met my ex-boyfriend, Theo Cadiz, from whom i got the surname I am using and will be using until the end of times. We were blessed with two cute little boys, Bojo and Jaijai. We are still waiting for our little princess to come, sometime soon. Maybe in two or three years from now, habang bata pa ako.
