Long by Name, Short in Height—but Big in Dreams!

I'm the kind of person who thrives where creativity meets coordination, because great ideas deserve great execution.

Hi! I'm Princes Dianne Largo, a Communication Arts graduate with over five years of experience as an Executive Assistant and lifelong passion for media and story telling. I am 33 years old and the eldest of three siblings. I was born and raised on the beautiful island of Marinduque- the heart of the Philippines. After I graduated, I moved to Manila to pursue my career, living for a few years with my aunties in Cavite before eventually finding a place of my own with my sister. Living independtly taught me a lot, from paying bills and buying groceries to managing life’s everyday chaos. It’s not always easy, but it’s definitely rewarding. A little trivia about me: my surname is Spanish and literally means “long” - but ironically, my height isn’t! funny, right? 😁 I also have Japanese roots from my mother’s side, which I think explains my love for order and a good bowl of ramen.

FROM CAMPUS DREAMS TO TV SCREENS

Back in University, I discovered my love for photo and video editing, filming and everything related to media, which opened the door for me to work with one of the Philippines’ leading TV networks - TV5. Working here was truly one of the proudest moments of my life - it honestly felt like a dream come true. I started as an Executive Assistant to the Vice President of the Entertainment Department, and that experience opened my eyes to the exciting world of media and production. I learned so much in that role genuinely enjoyed every part of it, from being part of big events, concerts and TV programs, to meeting and chatting with different celebrities which was definitely a fun bonus! My boss and I had such a great relationship almost like a mother and daughter which made my work feel lighter. It was a fast-paced, inspiring, and unforgettable experience that remind me why I fell inlove with the world of communication and media in the first place.

ADVENTURES I LIVE FOR

I’ve always loved going on adventures — discovering new places, trying local dishes, and meeting people from different walks of life. Traveling and photography make me feel alive and remind me how much beauty there is in the world.

When I started traveling back in 2023, it was my very first international trip which is Thailand— and it happened to be with my boss. I felt so lucky and blessed to finally see what’s beyond the Philippines. I can still remember how happy I was seeing new places, learning about different cultures, meeting people, and tasting their authentic local food.

That trip wasn’t the last. As time went by, I was able to visit other countries too (Vietnam, Germany, Italy, Austria and Switzerland) — something that truly felt like another dream come true. Of course, traveling also takes a lot of courage and risk. But when you have that dream and a curious heart like mine, you’ll always take the challenge.

That’s why I love traveling whether it’s international or local because it allows me to experience what life has to offer and discover more about myself along the way.

WHAT BROUGHT ME TO HIVE

Now that my boyfriend and I are processing our papers, I started looking for a side hustle where I could use my skills and interests. Luckily, I came across Ms. @antonette and @chinito profiles on Facebook, and they introduced me to this platform which immediately caught my attention. It really aligns with what I love doing, especially sharing my passion for photography, traveling, and the little stories that make life beautiful.

All the photos I’ve posted are mine, all original and personally edited using Canva to make sure everything stays authentic. I fully understand Hive’s rules and policies, especially about not using AI tools, Grammarly, or any form of plagiarism. I also know that genuine engagement plays a big role in successful blogging. Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments. Until my next story!
