About Me




A Pinay freelance editor/writer with background in marketing, advertising, events management, graphic design, and social media management.

I served as a full-time content writer/editor and Creative Head for an ecommerce site and eventually handled marketing, including social media.  I likewise had a brush with the publishing industry as an editorial assistant and later as an editor and contributor in a local magazine of an NGO. 

My marketing-related writing experiences encompass press releases, advertorials, print ad copies, promo mechanics, web content and scripts for corporate events. My administrative and technical writing experiences, on the other hand, include corporate profiles, company policies, manuals and training materials. 

I did events production work as director, assistant director, stage manager, production manager and coordinator.




About Zinedil's World

Zinedil is a character I created ages ago for an RPG. The project, however, was aborted abruptly so the story got stuck in the synopsis stage. Creative writing took a backseat once again as I focused more on technical and commercial writing along with other production pursuits. Despite all that, this beautiful and mighty fairy queen was never forgotten as she firmly resided in the deep recess of my mind.
  
When I conceived the concept of finally joining the blogosphere, I remembered my beloved queen and it just clicked. As a literary creation, Zinedil personifies my writing while her world represents my mind--thoughts, insights, opinions and whatever else is going on in there. Perhaps her story will remain a mystery along with all the other stories I never got around to finish but at least she gets to leave the shelf she was condemned to. Through Zinedil's World, I hope to reach out to others who share my interests as I keep my passion for writing burning. 

Join me in my journey as I explore the world within and beyond.

Warts Removal Treatment: Zap ‘Em Off

Image
Warts are generally harmless though they’re a tad unsightly. Fortunately, I only had those that they call flat warts. A flat wart or verruca plana, is “a small, smooth flattened wart, flesh-coloured, which can occur in large numbers; most common on the face, neck, hands, wrists and knees.” As with all kinds of warts, they are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). For me, it was fairly tolerable & I tried not to be bothered with them much. Treatment can be rather expensive, so getting rid of them hadn’t been a priority. But when you come across great deals like an 83% discount on Laser Warts Removal All You Can on your Face and Neck for only PhP 500, who wouldn’t jump on the chance, right? That offer was made by Ehemplo Salon and Day Spa over at TipidTo.com early this month.

My Healing Journey: Discovering Breast Cancer in the Time of Pandemic

Image
When I decided to get back into blogging upon leaving my long-term stint in the corporate world, there were so many ideas running in my head on how to map out this journey that I abandoned abruptly so many years ago. I knew I must weed out and filter them soon and declutter my head.  What I never anticipated was that this journey will suddenly become two-pronged. I originally planned on a more career-related theme when I pick up where I left off. Life, however, has other plans for me.  Deterioration   I started having health issues in the last quarter of 2018 when I was hit with mild pneumonia which resulted in my finally ( finally! ) kicking my smoking habit on first try (a good topic for later). That workaholic who stayed up way too late, puffing like a chimney? That would be the old me. My shift started at 12 noon until 10 in the evening but I would usually leave the office around midnight or in the wee hours of the morning so you can just imagine the lifestyle I had for years.  Upo

Breast Cancer Diagnosis: The Journey Commences

Image
Receiving results indicating that breast cancer is almost certain according to digital mammography and ultrasound left me with not much hope to hold on to. The best you can do at a time like this is pray while bracing yourself. Sure, I prayed that I would still be spared but my prayers had been more on asking for strength to handle what’s ahead. Family and friends, of course, insisted on clinging to that sliver of hope that the lump would be benign. I appreciated that. As much as I would love to maintain a positive outlook, however, I had to manage my expectations and prepare for the worst. It didn’t help that since this happened just before the holidays, securing an appointment with the breast surgeon that my OB-GYN endorsed was a real struggle. In my desperation, I already reached that point where I was willing to see any surgeon just so I could have the biopsy done the soonest possible time. This desperate move didn’t work out so well as I couldn’t even get through the trunk line or
