Travel with Hoop


Get in the loop with HOOP!

I am so ecstatic to share with everyone my latest project, a travel agency, HOOP Travels and Services! We are a home-based enterprise that offers domestic and international airline ticketing services, hotel accommodations and tour packages. We opened for business on January 20th and are operating 8 hours a day, all days of the week.

I learned about this trade from Jerby, one of my college best-friends, who also owns one. She encouraged me to try it too, especially since I don't need much to get started. With a few hundred bucks and fast internet, I could book flights for anyone to anywhere around the world. I absolutely loved the idea and thought it was perfect for someone who has zero business management experience. I decided to pursue it once I get home, and with God's grace, we are now the first and only booking office in our area! 😊

This little achievement is so dear to me as I personally set this all up. From picking out the business name to designing advertisement tarpaulins. From visiting agency after agency to have the business registered to inviting friends to like our Facebook page. I did it all by myself (okay, I may have gotten some help on some matters, but still, I made it happen).

In my previous post (which I deleted along with others), I mentioned about finally doing things on my own as my goal for 2017. I felt like all my life I've been consciously and unconsciously dependent on people around me. I let them map my life out and go where I was told to go. Of course, it's not entirely a bad thing. I am not where I am today if not for those roads I've traveled on. I would not have met and became friends with amazing people and experienced an unbelievably good life. That said, there were also moments of disconnect - times when I asked myself a lot of what-ifs.

Right now, I would like to spare time for the uncertainties. I want to explore other possibilities without somebody pulling the strings for me. I am ready.

So here's to hoping I find what I am looking for! Here's to discovering our other potentials! Here's to going places!

Down in the Dumps

For weeks I have been staring into space, unaware of what I have been feeling. It seems like an endless cycle — one day I would feel empty, extremely lonely, and inadequate, then on the next, I'd be quite okay. I would then try to keep myself busy and focus on my study. But five minutes into my reading, I would grab my phone, play Village City and forget the world. At least for a minute or so. I would decide to go out to relax, but just when I had already put on my lipstick, I would sit on my bed and then change back to my jammies.  I do not want to see and talk to people. Last night, I stayed up late to talk to my boyfriend, Marvin, who has become my pseudo-therapist for the last five years. He is in Riyadh, KSA so I have to wait until about 12 midnight (PH time) to call him as it is around that time that he gets off work. All my hopes, fears, disappointments, frustrations, joys — all that I think and feel — I tell him. Well, maybe not  everything because there are times tha...
