brains to think now find your prince things like that and so you know you're conditioned to think I'm supposed to find my prince and then I'm supposed to uh I guess have a maybe have a career if I choose to and have children and then live happily ever after that's the supposed to be the formula and I think that's the most beautiful thing about today open to all these different things diversity inclusion and even you know being single without kids in your 40s and I actually say that with pride and of course everyone that I've encountered in my life is so amazing and they're all part of the wonderful journey and I'm so grateful to God for all of them you know what I mean but one my point is um we change as human beings and we also change in what we are looking for I'm I'm really genuinely wanting to accept the path even if children I I love kids and I don't have kids I still think about it would I ever today the various possibilities and I'm still wondering and I accept honestly talaga uh I accept I accept whatever God has in store for me ready to be a mother and I'm 42 and I'm saying that so um I really just want to accept God's plan I really tried to empower myself Rel and they're actually some of the greatest human beings I know they're actually some of my Idols in life so I refuse to believe that you have to fall into these boxes into these parang stereotypes successful so people really mistake and think that I'm so jolly 24/7 the people I work with know the stresses I go through and what I I I experience on a day-to-day basis but um yeah I feel like the end of the day no matter what and uh we have to embrace and believe in our purpose and painful or not it's there somehow to impact something better I hope super duper Mega over Ultra macro don't worry girls my remember I know what's wrong s [Music] she's I'll cross the bridge when I get there I started doing shows and movies when I was 11 so audition for maraya film mommy it became something ingrain um and so I ended up going to college in ATO I didn't finish yetz because I was in entertainment I took a light load but I still kept going cuz I want to finish and finished like I want to study again like I I want to study more things more topics interestingly enough before course was political science shft into actually before experience normal Teenage life mostly because of work and entertainment to be honest it made it more fun summer camp or school with people with the same exact passions as you teenagers all the things that teenagers experience and you know uh the things that they are interested in we all went through that together so to me you know I I don't I actually have no regrets and I have no complaints and appreciate the same way yet we got to do all of that I do my gosh I do see it now and I'm so grateful to God thank you Lord some way Som which I never thought change of path Life [Music] Adventure I actually kaora is um the name of my mom so is Corazon so Kora means uh heart and and in essence love the reason it ended up getting called Kora was because I actually went through a very long period of depression um because we lost her to cancer in 2004 so it was a very quick unexpected thing uh honestly those are the the reality checks that you're like oh my gosh reality check after that life is so unpredictable so fragile so valuable and so we really have to make the most of the the time that we have with each other it was a quick period of 8 months but I didn't register right away actually very fun person like I was handling it so well ultimately we want happiness and joy but I feel like what happened was I was looking for fun which is the wrong thing because fun is not happiness or joy I was in the US for a dream and Mommy inspired in anything every day but to to make a long story short I also fell into the deep dark sad depression for a longer period 5 to 10 years toiz that whole entire time I was just not okay until 2013 Philippines um it was really to do just some projects and work and until family friends and even work we're like just try staying for a little bit more and make up for time be with people you love and also do work here cuz people also miss you so okay we stayed but it was weird par it didn't feel the same why was it so hard when your mama passed away my mom was literally my everything so she was my best friend my Confidant my sister my mom my idol she was just a superwoman to me in every way so to me oh I'm so glad she married when she was still quite youngz we get to have so many years together be together for a long time I didn't even consider the thought that she would ever die young and people always ask why why did I never get help oh my gosh for someone now that really believes so much in in really addressing mental health I speak about it I talk about it time people weren't talking about it and I was surrounded by incredible human beings that cared about me that loved me that really took care of me now that I look back gra you know some of them I probably don't even talk to as much as I should but I thank them every day and I thank God for them I'm okay today because they were there for me during that time actually talks talks and know when I when I share my story I I share the three FS is um friends family and faith in no particular order of faith family friends that's what got me through everything in life and still up to now and actually number one brother my brother basically took the place of my mom him and my dad but my brother became like my best friend now my brother gra I love you Tom so he's uh he's my my rock and my strength hello everyone I'm anatas United Nations environment program Goodwill Ambassador from Manila Philippines K goes to Disney night and sm all of Asia Arena because of a dream you wanted to do like Hollywood yes entertainment as well and so while I was there uh that's when mommy also passed away so in the midst of already actually getting into so many amazing opportunities I just stopped and I can't even explain it like looking back now I'm like you know well everything I I just tell myself everything happens for a reason I swear I firmly believe deep in my heart with conviction I am so grateful that the dreams I had before didn't happen because if they did I might not be where I am today sh I wish my mom was still here I feel like if we didn't lose her there might not be a nonprofit and that everything still contributes to everything that I'm doing today painful or not and so from stopping all of that going back to the Philippines and then you know doing work here when I got back the The Emptiness was there and then really weird randomly um I just wanted to start volunteering I tried searching online volunteer organizations and there was this one thing that our friends were doing in LA from La it was called # lunchbag out Catalyst org and what they do is it's so simple barcada in La they come together once a month $10 each they go to the grocery store they buy sandwich supplies and whatever they would need uh food fruits they put them in sandwich bags and they distribute them to people that are homeless or people in need and it's that simple and they would do that every month super brats com inesa Nan we all did that first activity together at our friend Zara's condominium and then when we started buying supplies uh we went back to the condo we prepared everything we did the event we went to a community L nearby and we went by the river and gave out the lunch bags and then from there we used social media which was all I knew at the time when we were doing this come together and help social media ask people to come join you within 6 months replicate B panga cibu and then within a year everybody that had sponsors and companies recommended their sponsors and companies event so nothing would have been possible without this barcada without the volunteers that have been there since day one I want to give a huge shout out to Joan honestly since we are talking about valuable people she's literally the hero of my life because she's been there since day one of Kora she's the champion of Kora now we're working with groups like the UN United Nations USA the government of Korea like from a small dream of friends and family just doing this together the in the best way possible that in the best way we can everything is possible when people genuinely care and that is literally The Secret of I guess to anything honestly yes yes you care and that's the other side of an [Music] Happ happy come with me put your hands together let's be happy you will see tomorrow's brighter ta let's be happy [Music]
