To a Curious Reader—Yes, You 👋

Thanks for popping by. I’m Cloydane, born in September 1991, proudly Filipino and Mandaya, and raised in a small town in Davao Oriental(Philippines). I was a shy child, an average student, and once taught by a relative(perfectly normal where I’m from), I grew up discovering that confidence sometimes arrives via dance floors, school stages, and the occasional twirling baton.

I trained as a preschool teacher, worked my way through university, and rather enjoyed proving low expectations wrong. I earned my degree in Preschool Education and passed the Licensure Examination for Teachers in 2012. After teaching in a Philippine government school, a bout of wanderlust took me to Thailand, then on to Singapore, where I’ve been teaching since 2016, growing professionally and learning daily (often from very small people with very big opinions).

I married in 2020 and am now mum to a wonderful daughter, Candace Yzabelle. These days, I balance family life with my role at a childcare provider in Singapore, and I still believe that every small task, done well, adds up to something rather lovely.
