kaisipang Dapat Isipin…
Tuwing nag-iisa ako dito sa bahay (which is most of the time
) naitatanong ko palagi sa aking sarili kung ito ba talaga ang gusto ko, ang maging isang plain housewife? Nung nag-aaral kase ako, alam ko na ito ang gusto ko… Maski nung bata pa ako… Gusto ko kase yung “ideal” family set-up, wherein the mom stays at home with the kids and yung dad ang bread winner… When I was a kid kase, yung Lola ko at yung kasama namin sa bahay lang ang lagi ko kasama, kaya I said to myself, that won’t happen to my kids… But when I started to get serious with my studies (later part of my college days) mukhang nag iiba na ang gusto ko… I am always thinking if I can give up my career at siyempre part of that is yung pinaghirapan ko nung college…
Honestly, hindi naman ako likas na matalino. I really have to study hard para lang pumasa… Sayang nga yung mga naunang taon ko sa college dahil hindi ako nag seryoso at nagtiyaga sa pag aaral. Nung later part na lang ako bumawi, thanks to Eds and Pol! Lagi ako inaaya mag aral kaya wala ako choice… hehehe
. Naging favorite ko tuloy ang Unit Operations at Thermodynamics.
Nung nag-review naman ako for the board exam, naging favorite book ko ang Fundamentals of Chemistry and I started to appreciate the Unit Operations Book (old version, forgot the author
) than the version of McCabe. I consider my books as my greatest possesion during that time… my Perry’s Chemical Engineering Handbook! No matter what happens, I’ll keep my books forever. ![]()
When I started working, ang hirap pala… Not on the mental part but on the physical aspect plus the fact that my salary is just enough for me, malaki pa nga yata allowance ko nung nag aaral ako.
I enjoyed working, yung interaction with different kinds of people, learning new things and the pressure that boost my thinking ability most of the time.
I also love to dress up for the office… Kahit na nga ba mukha akong guro sa office uniform ko.
Dati, sobra hirap ako gisingin ng nanay ko every morning but now I miss the morning rush…
I miss dressing up every morning… my pointed shoes…
my friends…
my paper works… learning new things… interaction with different kinds of people… my balanced scorecard… my ATM card
… I miss everthing!
Ilang beses na namin pinag usapan ng asawa ko ng issue na magbalik work ako, pero as usual… ayaw niya. Pumapayag nga, masama naman ang loob.
Palit daw kame… Honestly kung kaya ko i-earn yung benefits and salary nya, I’ll gladly trade my place with him…
He wanted me to start a business pero ang hirap… to think na nasa malayo akong lugar at wala sa Pilipinas. I’ve worked in an office wherein I had the chance to interact with businessmen and I also handled the Business Processes of the Company, dun ko nakita na hindi pala madali magtayo ng business. There were so many things to consider… Every aspect dapat alam mo… plus the economy and your target market… Hindi yata biro pumasok sa isang negosyo na hindi mo alam. Hindi komo me capital ka e your capable to put up your own business. Pwede, oo, pero sa wala lang mauuwi iyon…
Sa dami ng kaisipan na ito, hindi ko na alam kung saan ako papunta
… Finding my own career in a corporate world? Business tycoon?
or an executive housewife for life?
Ilang araw ko na ding nilalaro ito, pampalipas oras lalo na pag naiinip ako sa paghihintay sa kanya… Ang layo na nga ng narating ko sa vs. CPU mode.
Isang obra maestra ng kaartehan na naman ang aking natapos, cross stitch ng baby sa precious moments … after almost eight months!
