Thanks for visiting my blog. My name is Ella from Aklan Philippines. I work full time as a Virtual Assistant and at the same time a wife and a mom to my beautiful daughter Mikee
I have worked in the call center industry for the past 3 years. Started as a customer service representative for a credit card company in the United States. Managed to move up the ladder to a Senior Asst. Operations Manager.
Now, I practically live and breathe virtually. My real-life friends are now my online connections. My once cubicle-carerr is now virtual (as an offshore virtual assistant), and I said goodbye to starbucks hangout and said hello to facebook 
But despite having a colorful virtual life, here are some real (offline) facts about me:
- Colleagues call me: Ella
- Grew up in the busy streets of Manila but now residing in a peaceful province of Aklan.
- My house is literally just 10 -15 steps away from the beach.
- 28 years old and full blooded Filipino
- Beach lover
- Crazy about Nagaraya cracker nuts
- Self-confessed shopaholic
Let me share some “weird things” about me:
- I love nagaraya. I eat it with rice!
- I sleep with my feet swaying.
- I don’t eat vegetables
- I’m scared of roaches and spiders!
Okay, okay, go ahead and laugh a bit. Not many people would understand me but hey that’s the real me. Nothing more nothing less.
As a virtual assistant, I work real hard, and dedicated to always giving good customer experience. I am open to feedback to. I accept criticism positively. My skills include: data entry (typing speed of 40 to 50 wpm with 90% accuracy), proficiency in MS Office Applications, excellent communication skills both oral and written.

If you wouldnt mind…can you give me some advice on where to start, where to apply and how to become a Virtual Assistant.
Thank you and more power!
Ella is remarkable. Herself as well as her team are very hard working and professional individuals. I have provided them with many tasks and they always send it back above and beyond my expectations. As my business grows, I hope to help her’s grow as well.
Im proud of you my friend!
hi ella. i have roots in new washington too. my father’s a tupas and, like you, many summers were spent in cawayan, ochando and fatima. your blogs have rekindled memories of the past when we were all kids running on the beach. my dad’s humble home in fatima was just a few steps away from the beach. looking back, that was nature at its purest. thanks so much for this site.
Very nice profile.:-)
Have a great day!
Thanks,
AR

New Washington? Like you need a visa, feeling stateside lang talaga. I’m Nonoy Ely from Cawayan. Hi Tops Tupas anyo kang kulamog ha?Ella who?
Hello Ely. Thanks for visiting my blog. My parents are low profile here but my hubby is a Pelayo. I grew up in Manila but my parents are from here. So honestly i dont understand what a “kulamog” is… Hope you enjoy reading my posts
Hello Ella! Nice blog..
i love this one: “I love nagaraya. I eat it with rice!”
You’re simply one of a kind!!!
Hi Ms. Ella,
Nice to hear that a beautiful and intelligent lady like you happens to be my kababayan. I’m from Mataphao and my husband is from Guinbaliwan. I was born and grew up in Manila so with my two kids. Though I completed my elementary in Candelaria and high school in Kalantiaw Institute. We’re planning to spend our vacation in Aklan this coming May. We will be attending my grandmother’s 100 years old bithday, then planning to go to Maria Mercedes Beach Resort. May I ask how much will I spend in going to the said resort? Thanks a lot. Hope to meet you personally.
Hi Vicky,
Thanks for dropping by at my blog. Great to hear that you will be visiting New Washington again next month. Its very very affordable to visit Maria Mercedes Resort. If I am not mistaken, the entrance fee is just 35 per head. The cottage (I think) might range from 100-200 for the whole day. I hope that you will enjoy your vacation here. And hope to meet you
God Bless
