My DLSU talk!
I graduated college from the De La Salle University. College to me was a blur. I really wanted to just graduate and begin my career. Half the time when I was in school, I was immersed in my plans for my business and my design life. Due to the proximity of La Salle to Malate ( which was the fashion design hub in the 90′s), I had access to befriend and apprentice with Louie Mamengo. He was my first design mentor.

It has been a long time since I have been back to DLSU and visiting that afternoon really brought back a lot of memories. I went to grade school there and in fact, my batch was the last grade school batch. After that, the entire campus was all college.

A photo when I was grade 3 or 4? I think I still look the same? LOL!
My Graduation when I was grade 7.
I graduated in De La Salle Zobel.

I have not been back to the DLSU campus in what seems like forever.

Each time I get invited to speak to young people, I really try and make time for it. I am both humbled and honored and take great responsibility in this. So when the DLSU’s YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR SOCIETY asked me speak to their members, I willingly obliged.

The beautiful bright young girls who invited me. Caitline and Isabel!

I love talking to young people because in many ways, I learn so much from them. I had a great time with my talk and from the feed back I got from Twitter, the students ended up being inspired! I love that. Thank you DLSU for inviting me! It was really such a pleasure.
