I am Aliya Dio,

A Flight Attendant, Commercial Model and Social Media Influencer. I graduated from De La – Salle College of Saint Benilde and I took up Bachelor of Science in Hotel, Restaurant and Institution Management Major in Tourism Management.

I used to do ice skating when I was 6 years old in Southmall Las Pinas, but I didn’t push through because of the travel time from Laguna. But it didn’t stop me to explore what I really want to learn. At 9 years old,  my mom enrolled me to have piano lessons. At first, I really didn’t want to do it. But as the time went by I loved playing the piano and did recitals in De La Salle Santiago Zobel school. I’m very nervous every time I do recitals because I have a hard time memorizing my pieces. But thank God, before the recital day, I manage to memorize my pieces and will be able to push through it. To be honest, I’m really lazy to go to my Piano Class every Saturday and it reached a certain point that I really wanted to quit. I stopped attending my classes because I was an upcoming College student already. I might have a hard time attending my Saturday classes but it didn’t stopped me from loving the ivory keys of the piano. Thankful for my former yayas who were always with me in every class and waits for an hour for me to finish. 

I learned dancing ballet when I was 11 years old and this, I know, is really my passion. We enrolled in a Ballet Class because this is what I wanted to learn. As a grade school student, it’s really hard for me to be productive because Saturdays and Sundays are the only time for me to rest; I don’t mind because I’m doing what I really love. My Saturday schedule is always busy because of my piano and ballet classes. Ballet made me perform in front of a lot of people; like in Cultural Center of the Philippines every summer and  mall shows every December. After two years of doing ballet, I left to concentrate on my studies in high school. During that time, I joined the Batch Cheering. I learned a lot during my cheering days because it helped me balance my school and training times.  All these reminiscing make me miss ballet and cheering so much and it will be forever in my heart.

Even if I stopped my ballet, piano classes and also my cheering days I will not forget all the memories I shared with my classmates and friends. Writing this blog makes me miss my childhood days so much, but I’m also thankful that I got to experience all of these things and made me conquer my stage fright.

Thank you to my Tita (Denise Michelle) and my mom who does my makeup every recital.

Little by little you get to know me.

Welcome to my blog and I hope you’ll find time to read and be with me throughout my journey.  ♥

Love, A
