We remain so lucky to be loved by our community. To have family, friends & purpose. To wake each day & say, "today is the day!" To feel sunshine & rain. To know loss is part of it all. To love, rejoice & continue. To hold each other close when the holding is painful. To carry on.

📍Philippines 🇵🇭 South Luzon Expressways (SLEX) SLEX runs about 50 kilometers, but it's the shortest distance between a Filipino factory and the world. It's where Japanese and American manufacturers park billions, because SLEX is what turned "outside Manila" into "45 minutes from the airport.

📍 🇵🇭 Philippines Manila Airport (NAIA) Renamed for a man who came home to fix a country. Smart money is making same bets. 40M+ passengers/year. Busiest routes? MNL ⇄ HKG & SIN. Basically a money shuttle. Somewhere over the South China Sea, a deal is always closing here.

📍 Singapore 🇸🇬 Every good conversation in this city eventually turns into a deal conversation. It's just how it works. Singapore built its private wealth & family office backbone with boring stability, effective allocation, very low corruption but high tourism.

Good morning, Singapore! 🇸🇬🌦️ Focusing on my Meridian Hedge Fund investment thesis today. I now have a vetted list of 153+ funding bodies ready to go, separate from our current pipeline at @313Ventures. After that, it's homeschooling time with my daughter over brunch.

🦋✨ Everytime you are kind to others, not only is the world a better place, but your heart gets stronger with good energy too. 🙂 Spread the love, spread the joy, spread goodness & protection. This world needs so much of your kind heart, I hope you know that.

📍 Singapore 🇸🇬 Singapore: where world-class finance meets hawker heaven, crypto & Web3 builders, F1 adrenaline & capital raising. Every October, TOKEN2049 draws global capital to Marina Bay — come for the deals, stay for the rooftop views and duty-free spoils.

⚡ 💵 💰 #WEALTH101: 1. Your circle represents you. Be extremely selective. Fine-tune. 2. Be honest with yourself. What do you really want out of life? Why? Write it down. 3. Mindset > Excuses 4. Allow The Universe to fulfill your desire. You'll be supplied when you're ready.

Today's insight: Understanding a person's world through their eyes, rather than our own, is the highest form of reverence for humankind. We often overlook this perspective, which remains a significant barrier to true connection. #CapitalForHumanity #Humanity101

My @a27studio.bsky.social just got first dibs of Grimes' newest soundtrack, "Accelerando" for distribution. I knew Grimes could push humanity to extremes, but this is just peak AI humanoid masterpiece — I love it! Can't wait to recommend it to Tomorrowland! 🦋✨ Dropping soon.

"Never love anyone who treats you like you're ordinary." — Oscar Wilde I've learned best as a high calibre woman — never, ever compete with a man's North Star. If it doesn't come from within him, you cannot pull him up to be the greater man he's destined to be — with you by his side.

youtube.comWe’ve all been there before 🫤 #shorts #funny #love #viral #dating #wedding #relationship #relatable🎥 Doctor Strange / Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Some things you learn the hard way. I think most of us have had a moment we’d handle differently now—a conversation, a decision, or…

Wait, wait, wait... how am I going viral on Asia & Singapore wtf?! Is this bec of my Felix @F1 post?! Or me looking for @MartinGarrix & @gabortoleto85 & asking them to hang for gelato?! Tbf I didn't know who's on F1 list, could barely care — I just want ice cream w/ cool ppl. 🥺

For the 1st time, in a very long time... I feel so extremely happy. Not because things changed, but because of how I feel about myself. I told my dad I love him today (I love doting on him, he's my bestfriend!). And, later today — I'm setting my FIRST hedge fund dinner meeting.

Wow, packed morning!!! @F1 #SingaporeGrandPrix post event meetings, Australia ventures 🇦🇺 flying in (& out by Wednesday, some extending 😂) & I've been on event org since 9am!!! I'm still buzzed post circuit, but I'm feeling pretty awesome albeit a measly attempt to brunch. 🤓

There is a wise thing God taught me very recently: “Blessed is he who is not offended by me.” And it stuck with me so much. It's a wisdom to wedge when you're feeling the pain or stuck in it. When something is so unjustifiably odd... God's a great intermediary there. 🙂 #NoteToSelf

Marriage, in a nutshell. Love often fades, not from big fights, but life’s tiny mundane struggles. And may I add, all of our lives sit underneath the bonds & economic layers. I decided, yk what. I'm tired of people arguing — let me just go & fix that layer so we can go back to life.

Surround yourself with people who strategize — not worry — about money and your whole life will change. Poverty is just a state, and a state is like going from hungry to full. What mindset & actions should you feed yourself then to be wealthy?

You are perfect as how God made you. With all your quirks & (perceived not actual!) flaws. We were led to believe that this world can't be perfect, oh but it is. It's hard to train our eyes & hearts to attune. But God didn't crush you. He emptied you to receive. I'm proof of it.

Avis wants to go home (after 38m) & says she's bored! Oh no! 😂 My daughter loves crypto & Web3 but has to wait in our room — & says she wishes there were kids' corners! Honestly maybe next year, TOKEN2049 could go into family mode... yeah? 😄 Would be cool! 🤍 #TOKEN2049

If you're from the West & aren't German, Japanese, Swiss or have Chinese descent — let me tell you something about Asia: It's a cultural faux pas to be late or unstructured. It means you're not prepared. And if you're not prepared, we're less inclined to discuss or do business with you.

Biggest return of my trading week? $MUBARAK, not $BTC. 🚀 Just sold 1 of my daughter's position — so good to have more money effortlessly! You'll never get a +15.88% return with any bank. You'll have to wait for a year for an APR/APY. But pick your players wisely? Your portfolio works for you.

Omg, today's Nico's birthday pala!!!! 🎉🤯 Buti na lang I have reminder! I have forgotten to pick him & Solenn a gift. 😳 I wonder if the Bolzico Beef & Chinggolo peeps will celebrate in Alabang? 🤔 Kinda in the mood for some steak & wine tonight. 🥩 🍷

You are vastly rewarded on this Planet Earth by the contribution you bring. The gift you're shy or humble about & may be hiding — is the thing that the world's looking for. Don't block your way by being in your own way. Go for it! 🚀

"And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." — Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince 💗

I don't feel like announcing big news on my social media. For some reason, this gives me the "ick" (even though on occasion I do, or rather need to, for self-aggrandization). But, I can't sit with it. My success/wins or anything I achieve makes me uncomfortably cringed. 😣

Hiring world-class engineers & experts are actually much harder. Even with all the tools, you're looking for the quality in their brain — not just how they build. When hiring STEM-based folks, ask them: “Show me how this gets done.” “How would you reverse engineer it?”

🦋 ✨ Take it as a lesson from me: Holding on to wealth is like holding on to sand. We don't own the material world — we merely pass through it. If you look back, every success jumpoff point you ever had was marked by a huge "loss". This is the price of extraordinary success.
