All about me (part 5)

I know, I know… you’re getting bored about this list already. Just bear with me one more Friday. Promise, this is the last part.

1.I didn’t want to leave the Philippines, and I didn’t expect to live in the US. In fact, even up to this day, my husband knows how I still want to go back and stay for good in Manila.
2.It was during one of my annual vacations when I was introduced to Frank. No sparks, wala lang.
3.Leaving the Philippines was the only way for us to keep the relationship going. Frank was spending too much for overseas calls and it came to a point when I didn’t wanna go back and forth to NY anymore. Add the time difference between NY and Manila and it was a big mess. I’d be at work when he’s sleeping for the night, and he’s at work when I’m home at night.
4.When I finally moved to NY, I stayed at my sister’s house in Long Island and started working as a sales and marketing consultant for a Home Care Agency.
5.After our wedding, I was really shock having to do all the chores I’m not used to doing, and I wasn’t only doing it for myself, I was doing it for two.
6.Six months after we got married I quit my job and became a full time housewife. When I was still in the Philippines, everybody in my family knew I wanted to retire at the age of 40. They’d balk at the idea because, who would retire at their prime? I did, I wanted to. The stress and demand of the job was too much.Well, I did retire… not at 40 but well ahead of 40.
7.I have respect and know the value of hard earned money. I’m a saver, and this brings me back to #6. I made sure my hard earned money was invested and safe,more so because of my obsession to quit my corporate career at 40.
8.Staying home was a big change and jolt my system the first month. Suddenly, I have all the time to sleep and do my chores leisurely.
9.I have no regrets switching my thriving and promising career to a full time life of domestic bliss.
10.I’m happy, contented and I couldn’t ask for more. God has been so good. I can only thank Him for all the blessings.
