Career Shift
For the past couple of weeks, I have been searching the net almost
non-stop looking for a job where I can earn money and at the same time find a
new way to use my skills.
I came across
several blogging sites where I have learned so much from people all over the
world sharing their experiences, expertise and day to day challenges. I am not
the type who is very good in writing but I was challenged to create my own blog
and start doing something that I may be good at.
There are days
when all I want to do is express my feelings through my notebooks (I have
several that I use all at the same time!), my word document and by sending text
messages to my cellular phone just to give me comfort when times are hard. It
certainly works and uplifts my spirit.
There are
countless ways to earn money, I have tried some over the years and somehow I
can say that I gained loads of experiences from people I worked with and from
my own personal experiences. Corporate exposure is a big advantage although now
I do not see any company becoming interested in my resume. Probably because I
do not stay in one single job for more than 2 years. That is due to several
reasons resulting from my idealism. I am not good in office politics, most certainly
after work. My goal is clear - to earn for my family. Most of the time, I offer
help to my co-workers whenever I finish my job before the set deadline. Some
appreciate it but others don't.
Now, my goal is to
earn in whatever way possible. I don't mind accomplishing tasks like typing,
data encoding or even writing for other people.... if those kind of jobs will
give me the results I want.
I used to manage
people and handle multiple jobs. I am used to those types of challenges, but
then again, no one I guess will dare give me the opportunity. Age is of
value to most people and loyalty to the company. Right now, age and loyalty are
not my allies. I am in my forties and as I have said, I never stayed for more
than 2 years in each Company I worked for.
Oh well, it is
really time to have a career change where age and office politics will not
become humps to becoming successful again in the job I will soon explore.
Luck will be on my
side, I know that for sure. :-)

I am with child!
When I got pregnant, I was so ecstatic that I made it known right away to the members of my family and friends. It was such a great news and thanked God for blessing me with a baby. Days and months went by and finally, the moment I have been waiting for has come.....I am going to be a full pledged mother. I had mixed emotions because I was told by my doctor that I am going to have a C-section. Me and my husband also decided not to check the baby's gender but I already felt that the baby is a she. When she came out of my belly, she was screaming with one of her arms held high. I was so so happy and speechless to finally see my sweet little baby girl. She was the prettiest baby I have ever seen and she means the world to me.
When I became a mom, I thought of so many ways on how I can provide the best to my little one. Being a mother is not an easy job. It is a special privilege to take care of another human being. I read books and other reading materials to gain tips on how to raise a child properly. It helped me but I can say that personal day to day experience is better. Of course, my folks would say do this and that....I followed some of their suggestions but not all. This time, I am confident that I know what is best for my baby. Raising a child taught me to be more patient, loving and caring. There are days when I cannot do what I want to do for myself, skip meals and sleep. But when I look at my baby's face, all I can think of is her warm hugs and kisses each time she wakes up.
Now she is already 6 years old and slowly growing up. Ten years from now, she may not allow me to kiss and hug her as long as I want. I already miss those moments as early as now. My sweet little girl is slowly growing up, learning new things that will make her a better and stronger person.
Being a full-time mom and employee worked for less than 2 years. My child would normally wait for me at the door crying and would tell me to stay with her instead. It breaks my heart to see her cry, so sometimes I just call in sick and play with her all day. Finally, I decided to say goodbye to my corporate life and focus on my daughter's needs.
It makes me crazy sometimes to think that there is nothing else to do except take care of my family's needs and be wanted by less people, unlike when I used to go to work. I may not be earning anymore but I earned my child's love and attention, until such time when she realizes that her world does not revolve around me and her papa. The greatest accomplishment that I am proud of is being with my daughter & spending most of the time with her. I have accepted the ugly truth that one day, she will spend less time with me and spend most of it with other people. As early as now, I am already open to learn new things to consume my time as an elderly individual.
I am currently looking for a job that will not steal time from me and my child. A job done at night will be perfect for me since my husband will be home to take care of my daughter while I am away. Getting a maid is such a pain. I have decided to stop getting one and I was able to cope and adjust with the help of my husband and daughter.
This is the first time I entered words in this blog site. Hope there will be more and I hope that people who will read my blog will learn from my experiences. :-)
