it's a tough decision..
i've been in the call center industry for about 8 years and it finally took its toll on me. napagod narin ako. naka-2 companies lang naman ako, 2 years sa una, 5 years sa 2nd. though the pay was not that bad, pero parang hindi na ako masaya sa ginagawa ko. the routines, the work itself and sa mga tao na ayaw mo pero napipilitan ka just to be professional. it sucks! i've been complaining to hubby pero we both know na mahirap pag isa lang nagwo-work. sayang
[textspeak!] kinikita ng isa. there is just one thing that bothered me. i was transfered to the night shift so pareho kami night shifts nuon, so naiiwan yung 5-yr old daughter namin sa yaya pag gabi. and i feel so awful. naawa ako sa baby ko. before kasi, my mom was still with us, sha yung kasama ng anak namin pag gabi yung pasok. so medyo comfortable ako. pero sa yaya? NO! kahit na medyo matagal na sha sa amin.
last november, we started a small foodcart business sa province namin and ok naman
[textspeak!] simula. since kelangan sha ng tutok kasi malayo, you have to call every now and then to check, i decided to finally resign. i was convinced narin by my hubby since yun nga, ako yung pwede kumausap sa mga tao and ang hirap since nasa graveyard shift ako nun and d ako makatulog ng maayos sa umaga dahil ang dami inaasikaso. so ayun, ngkalakas-loob ako na mag resign. it was a sigh of relief talaga. to not stay up all night to work and sleep in the morning, the mere idea is just crazy. pero nag 8 years ako sa call center.LOL. anyway, i initially planned on taking a rest lang muna for 1-2 months siguro since xmas season din, then i can start looking for work na regular office hours na. i was so happy talaga to have finally got out of the office and can now stay with my daughter all day!
just a couple of weeks ago, i was online and was trying to see what options i have, to earn from home. aside from the small online shop ko, na hindi naman stable yung income since depende din sa goods na binebenta. and limited lang din yung time ko nuon kasi may work pa nga ako. i have already heard a lot of stories about freelancing. kaya i did a little research and here i am, finally a wahm! jobless no more.lol. i find passon in writing, kahit nung early school years ko pa and i just realized na gusto ko parin pala sha ngayon. kaya i am now into freelance writing. nakkatuwa kasi 1st week ko pa lang and i got 3 clients na. and
[textspeak!] 2, tapos na yung unang projects pero ino-offer pa rin sakin yung iba nlang projects. and i have a few pending applications pa. though hindi masyadong malaki
[textspeak!] kita especially pag nag-uumpisa ka pa lang, pero kelangan mo lang ng tiyaga. i’m now starting to love it and keep thinking kung mag a-apply pa ba ako sa iba. but for now, dito muna ako. i am home all day with my daughter, nahahatid ko sha sa school, natututukan ko sha sa studies nya and naasikaso ko pa si hubby when he gets home. priceless. and most of all, hawak ko yung oras ko. i can still clean the house, do groceries, do personal errands and got the whole weekend free pa.
so ngayon, if i will be asked, i love being a sahm!
