SHE might be among brightest stars of today but Maine Mendoza still remembers her humble beginnings.
Not many know this but prior to hitting it big, Mendoza was just another Filipino working overseas.
Mendoza recently took to Instagram to share some throwback photos of her when she worked as a chef at The Sagamore Resort in Bolton Landing, New York.
She captioned it, “Missing the kitchen life at Sagamore!”
The actress-TV host previously wrote on her blog that she spent six months of internship at the hotel, describing it the “highlight” of that year, 2014.
“Basically I just want to say that I had a really good time in the course my internship and my whole stay in the United States. I am so glad I was able to experience things that I never thought I would,” she wrote.
“New York just gave me good memories to last a lifetime. Everything that took place in Bolton Landing was just too remarkable– and I will never get tired of being nostalgic about it. If I could only just turn back time, I definitely would.” (Neil Ramos)
