Shira is nenskei

She loves the sunset but also admires the sunrise.

She was poetic. She channeled her thoughts through writing on an online platform, WordPress.com. Once an open book but laid low, consistent with her paranoia about creating a blog site. Today, she will stick to her brand – nenskei.com!

Background
Leaving Web Imprints

She delved deep into the web in 2011 when she started her hustle as an off-page SEO. Her passion for writing poems made it easy for her to connect with the WordPress.com community.
Went on hiatus in 2018 after being an open book. Managed to retrieve the domain last August 2022. The website name has been used for 10 years since she started blogging, and nenskei has always been my username. Hoping to repurpose this site in pursuit of finding joy, purpose, and life in between. Being new to 30 somehow brings us face to face with the reality of what matters most to us.

She is from the Southern part of the Philippines, in Northern Mindanao. Career-wise, she chooses to enjoy the full ride of being a freelancer, which she started in college and has nothing to do with her bachelor’s degree. Life as it is at best.

She likes to travel and even dreams of being nomadic. Despite 7,640 islands in her homeland, she has not been in too many places yet. Cebu is her favorite spot to go back to, which she considered her second home from 2014-2018.

Today, a Filipina expat has been staying in Kuwait for over five years, swaying the beat of the early 30s phase. Caring for her nephews challenges her, nurturing and discipling amazing kids takes a lot of patience and life long learning. Her goal is to be a better person than she was yesterday – as an aunt, as a person – for them.

Shira is also an oiler, a brand partner of Young Living Essential Oils. She intentionally uses essential oils, hoping for better alternatives to address hair and skin (scalp) concerns.
