Gabriel Alexander S. Suboc – Administrative Assistant, Social Media Manager

Growing up in a third world country pushed me into achieving a good life. I grew up living not the best and not the worst. I love reading and achieving academically. I used to dedicate all my time in school to be in top, but I got older, I realised that school is not it. So I went out of my comfort zone and learned new skills, especially graphic designing and virtual assistance.

I love reading manga, novels, and manhwa depicting protagonists that can overcome any obstacles and problems, I wan to learn from them to be strong and resilient. I am also fond of playing volleyball, I used to be a captain.

At the Age of 18, I realised that I needed to do what it takes to live. I used to resell bags and items online to make a profit. I also design for other people logos and banners for their businesses. I am also a social media manager for my two Facebook business pages. I am in the state of giving up right now, I do not know I want to do and needed to do. I am a jack of all trades. There is no special in me or where I excel. So it is hard for me to decide what I wanted to do.

But I read that living is not hard. It is you that make it hard because of the complications and overthinking. I learned that I needed to relax and not overthink. I just needed to trust myself and trust my capabilities. I am focused now in honing my skills, especially graphic designing and Virtual Assistance.

I am 7th out of 8 siblings. My Family is big, growing up is chaotic. But this time around, we all have different lives and different priorities. I miss the little fights and immature arguments. Gladly, we reunite once a year. We always go to Bolinao Beach here in the Philippines. I always treasure my Family.

I am also an introverted person, I prefer to hang out in our house and go to places alone. As an academic achiever in high school, I am always competitive and doing the best I can to excel, but it developed anxiety and fears growing up. I am terrified to disappoint others when I fail to do things.

When I feel scared, I print stickers. I make cute keychains and souvenirs that I like to give to my closest friends. It helped me a lot to divert my attention to things that make me happy.

Watching sad videos and listening to sad songs is my Jam. I love songs that punch right through my heart. It helps me understand my real emotion and let it out to the universe.

Speaking of Universe, I love stars, planets and other space things, love to watch the stars and just think about nothing.

I am also a Jehovah’s Witness, it makes me happy to be a part of this global organization. I love reading the bible and teaching others how the bible will make us happy. It also help me to understand life and purpose.
