FEELING ABSOLUTELY GRATEFUL
It's going to be year 2020 in less than a month! It's been almost 3 years since I left my job in Ortigas. I remember leaving Tagaytay every Monday past noon because I had to work at night. I was either taking a 5-hour bus ride straight to work or driving my brother's car going home to Makati which would usually take less than 2 hours of travel time and then I'd try to get some sleep until my evening shift on that very same day. Dati naiisip ko kung anong feeling ng wala kang office job, ung madami kang free time na kahit san ka bitbitin ng asawa mo makakasama ka.
It wasn't easy working at night kaya whenever we go to SM City Dasmarinas and I see people who work in a BPO like the one located inside that SM mall, I feel admiration towards them. Madalas na wala akong tulog noon lalo na tuwing Monday, but I had to keep going.
It was a difficult decision to leave my dear company. Minus the graveyard shift, okay lahat: non-voice, the salary, culture, friends, and work-life balance (medyo lang). When I completely moved to Tagaytay, I tried several jobs: receptionist, real estate, etc. I ended up working as an online tutor na akala ko "this is it na" kaya lang hindi pala. Ayoko talaga ng trabahong buong araw kang nagsasalita.
Fast-forward to today and I'm now a housewife. Madami pa din akong pangarap and I wish that someday I'd be making a lot of money, too para mas makatulong din ako sa mga hayop at mga taong sobrang naghihirap at para malibre ko mga kapamilya ko lalo na sina mama at papa kung san-san. I am feeling absolutely grateful to my husband who always does what's best for me and for always understanding me kaya eto sya ngayon while doing some work at home. Hehe.
