We regret to inform your that the position you applied for has been filled. However, we are pleased to offer you the position of Executive Chef’s Assistant blah blah blah!
I was torn between love and career. As much as I’ve wanted to go, I can’t. I chose not to. I knew it was the answer to my financial constraints but…. how? We were in the middle of our wedding plans. The date wasn’t confirmed as yet but we were half done. My wedding gown was half-finished. Relatives and in-laws were already informed. Papers were submitted to the Church.
I was in a dilemma. D had to know. When I spoke to him, he said “it’s up to you” in a worried tone. I had to ask my parents. And my dad said “It’s a good opportunity, but what would your in-laws think and say about you? That you chose money over him? Not that we are judging them but what if they take it the wrong way? Think about it.” He was actually right.
I was still undecided. The sign of dollars were everywhere around me. But somehow I realized maybe it wasn’t meant for me. It came at the wrong time. If it was, they could’ve replied before that.
Love over career was my final decision. Yep, I chose love over career. I chose Derrick over dollars. Some would think I’m crazy! Impractical! What the heck! It’s my life. I rule my life.
And if you’ll ask me today, at this very moment how I was after that decision? No regrets! My 2Ds, Derrick and Derelle are priceless enough to compensate with the dollars I had lost back then.
now you know that your decision was indeed the best then, good for you, dear mitch.
@ Mommy Raq : Indeed. The greatest big decision ever! Otherwise, baka till now di pa ako mommy.
I have never believed in the saying “To have loved and lost”. You have made the right choice 🙂
@ Scrooch : Yup, yup!
what you chose is priceless. irreplaceable.
@ Brain : Yup, kaya walang pagsisisi.
i gave up my career to be a mother. And it’s been so blessed. Now that they are grown, I am blessed again because I found a new career. Nothing is ever lost. You gain lots more by choosing love.
Deye is priceless. I think you dont regret the decision.. or if you do, halika nga rito at ng maiuntog ka sa pader para magising hehehe..
@ Noemi : Actually yes. I believe na in every opportunity na nakakalagpas, mas doble ang kapalit. We may not see it that way, pero doble talaga. 😉
@ Analyse : Di po ako nagsisisi, baka magkabukol ako sayo hehe!
Kidding aside, kapag naaalala ko yun naiisip ko na siguro kung tumuloy ako baka nawili ako sa kinikita ko at until now wala pa akong anak, eh di hindi ako member ng PMN hehe!
