A journey of Faith, Healing, and New beginnings

🌼 Hello Hive World! I’m Vic – A Storyteller from Cebu with a Grateful Heart 🌼 Hello there, beautiful soul reading this. 💛 My name is Marivic Calvo, but I go by Vic — a name I’ve come to embrace as I continue to discover who I truly am beyond life’s trials, pains, and breakthroughs.

I’m from Bacayan, Cebu City, a quiet place up north where the breeze is sometimes cooler than the chaos I’ve had to carry in life. I’ve always been the kind of person who finds beauty in small things — like a good laugh, a warm meal, or a moment captured through my phone camera. I love vlogging, cooking, writing, and simply just being real. Life’s been far from perfect, but I believe that’s what makes my story worth telling.

My Life Before Hive: From Call Centers to Calling For almost two years, I worked in the BPO industry, where I handled both inbound and outbound calls, provided support to different clients, and navigated the fast-paced world of customer service. It was a place where I learned how to handle pressure, stay professional, and communicate effectively — but it was also a place where I began to feel like I was losing myself.

I was constantly tired, both physically and emotionally. The demands of work, combined with personal challenges, made it hard to breathe sometimes. But still, I showed up. I held on. I pushed forward. Because like many of us here in the Philippines, I had no choice but to keep going for the people I love.

Eventually, I had to leave the job for my mental health. And to be honest, I felt lost. I didn’t know what was next. I had so many questions, but very few answers. That’s when I started looking for other ways to grow — and I stumbled upon Hive.

Why I Joined Hive and PeakD

At first, I was just curious. I saw posts about Hive and how people were able to share their stories, talents, and even earn from it. I thought, “Why not try?”

But the more I explored, the more I realized this wasn’t just a platform — it’s a community. A space where your voice matters. A space where people value honesty, effort, and growth. I knew right away this was something I wanted to be part of.

I may still be learning the ropes here, but I’m here for the long run. I don’t just want to post for the sake of earning. I want to share pieces of my heart, connect with others, and create content that reflects truth, faith, and healing.

A Heart That’s Been Broken, But Not Bitter

One thing about me — I’ve been through a lot.

I’ve been judged. Rejected. Misunderstood. There were days I felt invisible, days I cried myself to sleep, and moments I questioned my worth. But in all those painful seasons, I’ve also seen the faithfulness of God. I’ve learned that you can be broken, but still beautiful. That you can be hurt, but still choose to love. That you can feel weak, but still keep showing up.

There was a time I struggled with identity. I used to measure my value based on how people saw me, what job I had, or what I was able to accomplish. But now, I’ve come to understand that my worth doesn’t come from any of those things. It comes from who I am in God. And because of that, I can now walk with more peace — even if life isn’t perfect.

What You’ll Find on My Blog

My page here on PeakD will be a space for many things: • Personal journals — stories from my heart, reflections on healing, courage, and moving forward • Faith-based posts — testimonies, revelations, and what I’ve been learning in my walk with God • Life stories — both mine and from people who inspire me • Food and vlogs — yes! I’ll be sharing some of my favorite home-cooked recipes, especially my favorite: cheese lumpia 🧀✨ • Creative expressions — quotes, photos, and hopefully someday, more edited videos too

This will be a raw, unfiltered, but faith-filled space. You won’t always find perfection here, but you will always find honesty and hope.

My Dream: To Turn My Pain Into Purpose

I don’t have everything figured out, but I know one thing: I want to live a life of purpose. I want to turn all the painful chapters in my story into something that helps others heal too.

If even one person reads my post and feels seen, understood, or encouraged — then that would be more than enough. Because at the end of the day, that’s what we all want, right? To be heard. To be known. To matter.

Let’s Connect!
