she works hard for the money
right now, kinakanta ko sa isip ko yung song na yon. hehehe!
i was reading a blog of a friend and it got me thinking about work. sana pwedeng di na magtrabaho. pwede naman, pero andaming magbabago.
sa ngayon, nagbabayad kami ng bahay at kotse. shempre nandyan ang mga monthly bills... kuryente, tubig, phone, cable, at kung anu-ano pa. nung bagong dating ako, nag-survive naman kami sa salary ni je. but i can tell na since then, nagbago ang lifestyle namin. siguro with additional earning comes additional expenses. so siguro pag wala na yung isang earning, bawas na rin ang expenses. =)
one thing though, if i stop working, definitely the first to go is yung help ko sa mga family at relatives ko sa pinas. at this point, i don't think i can afford that. it's not like obligasyon ko naman yon, pero bilang panganay, i feel kind of responsible to help. and i want to help. bukod kay pistoy at isang maginhawang buhay, my family is one of the reasons why i work hard.
when i look at pistoy though, i can't imagine not seeing him as often as i do now. =( now i understand how one of my friends felt when she went back to work. when her son is reaching his milestones, and she's not around to see it the first time, it must be heartbreaking. i have to stand by my advise to her now... if i didn't see it, it didn't happen. =) but really, now i understand ang mga pinagdadaanan ng mga working moms. they don't love their children less because they choose to go back to work. they actually endure a daily battle between staying home, or working to be able to provide. it must be very frustrating. especially for those who doesn't have a choice. or doesn't have many options. i know sa situation ko, i do have a choice and i can explore several options.
maybe i just need a better way of doing things. i can tough it out a few more years. maybe this is just a phase. we'll see in 3 weeks when i go back to work. Lord help us. =)
