Getting to Know Me...


Who are you? 


- I'm Jayr Manalo, but I prefer to be called with my nickname JHAI, I got my nickname Jhai when I was in high school when we'v danced the PCD hit song "Jhai Ho" during our school program, since then every student I have met in school they call me Jhai. =)

What are you passionate about?


-I'm really passionate in leading people and working on interesting projects. I love the emo stuff and "ME-TIME" is very vulnerable to me since that is the only time that I can reflect the things I've done during the day and plan for my future.


What are the achievements you are most proud of?


-By far of my existence I could say that being independent is what I'm most proud of. At the age of 17 I'm already working and somehow earning money though it's not enough to sustain my needs but I consider that as a starting point. I also managed to be a working student when I was college because I'm not sure if my grandparents can sustain my studies, I'am also a full-time scholar that time so I'm not paying any single centavo for my school. I'm working as a service crew at a well-known food chain in Davao and it helped me a lot financially and I'm not asking for "BAON" during that time. I resigned on this job because of my willingness to earn more because I believe I deserve more than that and I'm the kind of person who is not comfortable about what we have already, I always wish for more. I tried my luck in the call center industry and thank God I'm still here for almost 3 years now and now I know with hard work and determination I'll get a promotion very SOON.


What are the most important things to you in life?


-I'am a very family oriented person and obviously they are the most important thing in my life. I grew up with my grandparents but I have never felt lonely because they have provided all the love I need that I grew up having the fear of God and respect to myself and to other people. My grandma taught me to be strong and be INDEPENDENT because in life only you can help yourself. 


How would you describe yourself?


- I'am the essence of overconfidence! I love to have fun, to party, to drink , go to beach, get wild and to try everything adventurous! I'm very loud and candid but silent when I have a problem because for me problems should be kept to yourself because of all of the people you've shared your problem only half of them are concerned and the rest are happy .


Do you love yourself?


-Yes! I do love myself  =)


If you have one day left to live, what would you do?


-If I have only one day left to live, I would spend it with my Father. I don't know how it feels like to live with a father so if I have one day left to live I will cherish the moment with my father and I would talk to him and share every achievement that I achieved .



If you are yourself 1 year from the future, how would you advise the you now? 


-I would advise myself to let go of negative thoughts because that is the thing that will hold you back from getting your dreams.



What are you busy with today? 


-As of now, I'm busy with my work as a Project Manager for an Australian client and I love it! 



What opportunities are you looking for?


-Ofcourse everyone would love to have a better job and higher salary but personally I'm happy with what I have now and if God would give me some more my arms are wide open.



What’s the top priority in your life right now?


-Hmmmm.. Right now the most important thing that I want to prioritize is my Job, to prove to other people that I'm confident and equipped already. I see to it that I'm having fun with everything that I do and I don't force myself to work on a project which doesn't fit my passion. I always enjoy every moment of my life and count my blessings.


If you were to die tomorrow, what would be your biggest regret?


-I would regret nothing! I mean what for?? I'm proud of myself and the adventure of my life, I appreciate every struggle and downs of my life because they are the one who made me stronger now and somehow made my life perfect.


What is your ideal career?


-Since I was a child I always wanted to work on a Magazine Publishing House. Everything that is about fashion I love that!



What do you fear most in life?


-To grow old having nothing.


What bad habits do you want to break?


-Being a negative, irritated, and insecure person.



What are the times you are most inspired, most motivated, most charged up?


-When I'm so down and depressed I keep myself motivated and be inspired by the people who always there to help me.



Who inspires you the most?


-My Grandma inspires me a lot, I love to hear her life lesson again and she taught me how to be independent in life.



What kind of person do you enjoy spending time with?


-The kind of person that I enjoyed spending with is a person who is positive, very out-going, fun, not Killer Joy, loves to hang out and true to you even you are not with them.



That's It! Thanks for spending time reading my page. =)
