180 degrees
In a blink of an eye, within your presumptive win, I have decided to turn my life 180 degrees. My work routine changed overnight. I am one of the few who still works from home and reports to the office twice a week (Tuesday and Thursday).
Working from home, I could freely spend my hours the way I want to. As long as I do my job. Our office rule: we can go home after 7 hours of working - need not to do “heavy workload,” use the time to bond and discuss workflow with officemates. This means if I get to the office at 7:00 AM, I can go home at 2:00 PM already. I’ve been so balasubas that upon arriving at 7:00 AM, matutulog pa ako hanggang 8:30AM before I actually work.
Until the night of May 9, 2022 - seeing that another Marcos will hold the highest position in the country, fear crept in my whole system. I laid on the bed for hours, imagining what my future would be - “paano ako bubuo ng pamilya under Marcos Administration?” one of my few thoughts. Tapos iyak kaunti. I got trouble getting myself to sleep that night - eh may pasok pa ako sa office kinabukasan.
So came Tuesday morning - May 10, 2022. Halla, si accla, pagka-time in, upo agad, patong laptop sa desk, turn on tapos work mode agad agad. Hindi tayo pwedeng mag-sayang ng oras, dapat kumayod! Dapat mag-sikap! Kailangang mai-ahon agad ang sarili bago tuluyang lumubog!
By Wednesday, aba, nag-exercise, nag-jumping rope! Need alagaang ang katawan, eh! Kalusugan ang puhunan sa maayos na trabaho.Wala akong ibang iniisip ngayon kundi yung mga goals namin ng partner ko - at syempre kailangan ko na rin maging financially stable - which is happening sooner than I have expected, salamat, Universe!
Dahil masakit ang sampal ng madilim na realidad, wala akong dapat unahin kung hindi ang sarili ko.
Oh, diba, I started this trying hard to be formal. hahaha
iyak. tawa. repeat.
