maliit lang ang mundo. if you’re working in corpo here sa ph, mapapansin mo na may 2 degrees of separation lang ang mga tao so don’t burn bridges. mas mabuting maging mabait, what goes around, comes around🙂↕️
Sometimes it's just embarrassing to be a professional "content creator". I hate the reputation that comes with this job.
I was at a dinner last night where I was invited as a creator to dine complimentary. No posting expectations, no required deliverables (shoutout Lyla in Toronto, the lobster agnolotti was incredible)
I asked my waiter at the end of the night how often creators are tipping on their comped meals. He told me fewer than 50% tip at all, and only about 5% tip "correctly" meaning 18-22% of what the bill would be.
WTF is wrong with people? The sense of entitlement is unreal. You know your server is doing the same work, IF NOT MORE because your "influencer" ass is probably making high maintenance requests. You do not get to STIFF THE STAFF just because your food is complimentary?!?
If you are blessed enough to be in this position TIP YOUR SERVERS on what the bill would have been. Be a better person.

The trick to being a charismatic adult is to act like a 5-year-old.
Always say hello/goodbye to people you know, and just act like everyone is already your friend.
Highly intelligent people are deep observers. They figure you out immediately, but act like they see nothing. They give you the space to talk, overstep, and show your real hand. By the time they respond, they have already calculated exactly who you are. Discernment is their best friend.
