My Journey with Avail..2018

 My journey with Avail Beauty Phils started when Ms Elenor Hao requested to present the products to our Women's fellowship.

At first, I was skeptical because I was using the Negative Ion pads which had caused me rashes and contractions during menstruation. So when this product was introduced, I was ready to turn it down.

The smell has also turned me off because it smelled like Chinese drugstore! The herbs were really strong and for someone who dislikes herbal drinks and vegetables, I was sooooooo ready to say no! Until I've tried it...Since a sample was given to us, I've decided to try it. The minty freshness that I've felt was so unlike any other that I've used that I've signed up immediately!

Selling was never my intent, though I was informed that this was a multi-level marketing company. I was only determined to let other women receive the same comfort as I had. I didn't even took note of any other stuff that Mrs Hao had discussed with us, I just wanna share the knowledge that this product exists.

I was able to build my downlines. I shared to whomever I can share and to the extent of what I can do. Since I didn't pay much attention to what was discussed, I didn't know that there was a termination of membership if there's no purchase within 12 months. And so when I checked my account in 2021, this is what I saw...


I was so devastated seeing all these people's accounts have been terminate because I failed as their upline.
I guess I've expected them to keep on using the product like I did since it has great benefits, but I was wrong. And so for those whom I know, I texted each one of them and apologized for not taking care of them. And I'll be forever thankful for their forgiveness!
I've since then returned to being an active reseller and it is my hope and dream to help more women overcome any reproductive health issues. By the Lord's grace, I hope to never end my journey ever again!

Celebrating Chinese New Year 2015

Being an immigrant, what used to be traditional and norm has suddenly turned into weird and unprecedented. Though we're not fully immigrants to the Philippines, we've been one to General Santos City. Being away from my family for the past 9 nine years (4 in Zambo and 5 here), I missed celebrating the Chinese New Year with them. Actually, not just the Chinese New Year, but almost every single holiday there is in the calendar! But the Lord was gracious this year.

For the 1st time in 5 years, we were able to celebrate Chinese New Year with a family...and I mean, FAMILY! One of my disciple sent an invitation to our group and asked us (my family too) to celebrate the New Year with them since its the the same day for our meeting and she assured us that it will be "tayo-tayo lang" (that it will be just a small gathering). Surprisingly, after our study of the Scripture, the extended family members started coming in! One family after the other! I guess they were so surprised to see us there too! But they've never shown it, they've welcomed us as though they have known from the very beginning! And for me, it was a wonderful experience. Hours after leaving that gathering, I'm still smiling, recalling the conversations that have transpired and the fun we had at the dice game.

It's truly amazing how the Lord continually assures me that He understood my situation. And to this family who "adopted" us for the celebration, we thank you for allowing us to intrude. Thank you very much indeed!
