Here are the things I wanted to materialize this year :
One time during our conversation I told the husband that I think its time that I go back to the corporate world. I feel like I am useless from time to time since I don't contribute much to the household income. I was used to having my own money ever since I was college. And since the little girl is growing up I think she can now cope with me being away from her during workdays.
My husband is not a dictator. He lets me do what I wanted to do but this time he wouldn't bulge. He has a lot of insights regarding my concern one of which is why do I need to go back to working 8 to 5 when I am earning from the comforts of our home. I told him that what I am earning now cannot equate on what I will earn if I go back to the corporate world. Which I know is true but for the life of me, I cannot shrugged of the idea that a hefty salary also means dealing with a lot of corporate BS and some AH superiors. lol.
Anyway, to keep my mind of this 'silly idea', the husband bought me a nice office table and chair. lol. Para daw mafeel ko na nagoffice pa rin ako. haha. But in fairness the chair and table serves its purpose. I feel a bit motivated and energized. It brings back the blogging mood that I lost through the holidays. So, thanks Mahal! And to motivate me more I tried putting a chart for my 2008 income. Want to see it ?
Okay, you see that PU2B and 3p are neck to neck. But the Payu income is for one whole year while I just started being really active in 3p last July. As for the others like SR, LL and RM all figures were only achieved for the last quarter of the year. I was quite amazed by my income. I did not know that I earned that much in a year ( four figures in USD = six figures in PHP). So where have all my money goes. lol. Well, for something tangible I was able to buy some toys for my little girl, finance our summer getaway, bought a SONY DIGITAL CAMERA (10mp) and my last purchased before 2008 ends -- N82, a gift to my dear husband.
With all the figures, of course my one year income does not even equate to my husband's monthly income, I am now convinced that yes I can still earn some money for the family. haha. So here's to a more productive 2009!
I am trying my best to adjust already back to the life when the husband is away because of work. Right now, its only me and Anevay in the house. The husband went out of the house to have his teeth clean and to shop some more things for the house. We were not allowed to come with him since the little girl is having a slight fever while I on the hand need a lot of rest to get rid of my nasty cough. Anevay is busy going around playing while I am blogging. This is how our life would be next week. While the husband would be by his lonesome in Kuwait again. Oh men! But despite the setup we are still blessed. Thank you Lord for a fruitful 2008 and please continue to guide us in 2009!
That's the husband's vacation. He will be leaving again on the 9th for work. I told him we will I'll be back to being a single mom again and back to the motto of you and me against the world. Our setup is not easy but we don't really have a choice. Instead we have to be thankful because one he is receiving a hefty salary and two he is allowed to go on a vacation twice a year. And his last vacation lasted more that one month so we were able to accomplish a lot of things and even buy a lot of things. lol. But the biggest accomplishment I think is being able to downgrade his term life insurance. We we're a little bit bothered by the fact that we are investing a huge sum of money to a company that has been reported to be on a financial crisis last year. So we changed the policy. It's a good thing that the agent was very accomodating.
Dang! Dang! Dang! I encountered another BX error when I tried updating my template. I was able to change my template before by using my sister's laptop. Now I tried changing it again using my laptop but to no avail. I switched to my husband's laptop but the same error. So now I would have to contend myself with the template supplied by blogger. huhuhu.
