Continuing with our series on how the people in the poker industry are doing during the pandemic. We have decided to visit Yukari bless again.
We once featured her and you can read more about her by clicking here.
Models, dealer, streamer and now looking forward to a new career. We had
The begining
The first time we saw Yukari was in a poker room in Malate, Manila. We admit, because of her beautiful smile and friendly attitude. It was not that hard to be attracted to her.
Poker players who are usually men were attracted to her instantly. But she was kind and courteous to them and kept it at a professional level.
She was hardworking and understood her job properly. She was able to handle big tournaments and cash games like a veteran dealer.
But soon another calling took place.
The pandemic
On March 15, 2020, the president of the Philippines places the Philippines under lockdown to control the spread of the Coronavirus. Poker rooms were shut down and that put a dent in Yukari’s career.
However, that did not stop her.
She began streaming her games and was doing good as a gaming streamer.
here videos are still out there and she now has her own page which you can easily visit by clicking here.
For awhile she was streaming games and she was getting a good number of followers. It was fun and entertaining adding her charm.
But after a while, she had to stop. Because another job came calling.
She now has a new job as a financial adviser.
We caught up with her and ask her a few questions about her new job.
How are you doing with your new job and what is it all about?
“I am a newly coded financial advisor. Yehey, I love it actually. The reason I love my new job because it can help alleviate the poverty of other people. It teaches you to secure one’s life. The uncertainty of our times now pushes the need to secure our future, especially when the time comes for you to retire. Being a mother and seeing the things that are happening now, I do not want the next generation to be in debt or have a “pamana of utang(inheriting debt)”. I believe being financially secured now, will give you peace of mind especially in the future. that is why if you need help, message me, and ill help as much as I can as a financial advisor.”
There you go, people are pushing to move forward and so should you.
We hope to see you soon and stay safe.
