Catey here...

and I'm finally getting out of my comfort zone.

My friends call me Catey and people know me as a strong-willed independent woman and a risk taker, but I prefer to identify myself as a woman with ambition and a heart of gold.

About Me

Hello Hive fellas! I am Catherine, an IT engineer by profession with 10 years of experience in the IT industry. A Filipina, proud Cebuana living miles away from home. I moved and started working in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in December of 2014. I was only 22 years old then, naïve but eager to achieve my ambitions.

#Blessed and grateful that’s who I am. My humble beginnings and my faith through both successes and failures have brought me to where and who I am today.

Why Am I Here?

I am here to share my story and to get to know myself better and uncover my full potential.
I don’t know how this will work but my good friend Hive account@wittyzell have introduced me here. I love creating video content about my daily life, cooking videos, travels and interests on Instagram and she thinks I should try and explore the HIVE community. It is indeed a great opportunity for me to improve and learn from others.

I’m neither a good writer nor a good storyteller but I want to document important and heart-warming events and create memories that I could always look back to. Looking forward to more interactions with fellow Hiveans.

What is my passion and interest?

I love to cook, and my friends love my food, so I gained confidence in the kitchen. I would spend my spare time watching cooking shows, trying new recipes, and making my own version. I’m not a chef, just a simple home cook. I’m excited to share this passion with you, how nice if I could have everyone here as my food-tasters :D

I believe health is wealth, I’m not into fitness but I make sure to exercise and sweat. I would run after work and join Zumba session on Saturday mornings. I want to join a half-Marathon one day, I’m not sure if I can finish a full marathon but we never know.

I wish I could resign from work and focus on traveling but I have bills to pay and a future to save for, but I will travel more.

I consider Malaysia as my second home. A multiracial and multicultural country where Malays, Indians, Chinese and people from all over the world live together in peace and harmony. A nation with hundreds of festivals and celebrations all-year round, a food lover’s haven I must say. I’ll share with you what the Philippines, Malaysia and the world have to offer.

I’m excited to write and share my future blogs and have fun here. Thank you for reading. Have a great day!
