Nasaang point ka na ng buhay?

[hushush]

^I have nephews that were home schooled here in Canada. They are normal kids.

Meron din dito mga officemate ng husband ko at home schooled mga anak dito sa china. They grew up very well din.
Ang akin lang, di ko kayang maghomeschool ng dalawang bata hehe.
Isang bata siguro kaya ko hehe..😬. mas makabubuti pa rin na umattend sila ng school dahil nabobore sila dito lalo na ang panganay ko na gusto palaging may kausap at gusto laging may ginagawang interesting para sa kanya...kakatamad pa naman lumabas dito lalo na kung summer. Kaya ang mga bata nakakulong lang talaga most of the time.

Atsaka.. Hindi pala talaga possible na magstay kami dito ng matagal.Mag-aaral pa pala muna akong magdrive! 😂

^Pwede naman hindi sabay.. I know some families na hindi nila sinasabay mag homeschool yung kids nila. She has 3 kids, the eldest was homeschooled until HS then nung nag university na saka nya hinomeschool yung 2nd, who was in HS din that time. When the 2nd was independent na with homeschooling, maybe around Grade 9 or 10, saka nya hinomeschool yung youngest. The 2nd is in university na rin now so isa na lang hinohomeschool nya.

Ako personally I'm leaning towards homeschooling my daughter, di ko pa lang maconvince husband ko, haha. But I think mas maoopen nga sila with other extracuricculars and socialization when they're not tied up sa school eh. You can enroll them sa iba't ibang activities so they won't get bored, at the same time it also gives them more opportunities to learn kung ano talagang gusto nilang gawin sa buhay.

Anyway, off topic. Hehe.

^^Ay di ko lang alam kung pano mag-home school ng marami. Iisa lang anak ko and he goes to school. But I have sisters-in-law who have 6 kids and 4 kids. All kids homes schooled. Pareho lang din daw ang isa at marami. May mga outdoor activities din ata sila eh so may outside hindi naman neglected ang social life. One advantage of home schooling, there's less chances of kids getting bullied. Some kids can cope, some have a harder time.

I don't think I can home school my own son. Parang ma-trabaho...lol! Although I was told hindi daw naman.

I?m at a place na tahimik at masaya. Not because i have everything but because i choose to be grateful for what i have everyday.

My environment is still the same, i just changed the way i see and deal with it. I look at it from a different prespective. I choose to see the good in everything and in everyone intsead of complain or be negative.

happiness isn?t something that depends on our surroundings...it is something we make inside ourselves. ?Don?t let your happiness depend on someone or something you might lose.?

Career-wise, i can say that I have a job that i like, a job which gives me the opportunity to level-up my skillset, which also pays me well. To add, my Manager is very supportive to us, at wala talaga kami masasabi sa kanya. I can confidently say that my decision to move out from my previous company a year ago is right.

On my personal life, not that ideal because I am a single-mom. Pero lagi kong iniisip na hindi lang ako ang nasa ganung situation. I always look at my son and realize how lucky i am to have him. I might be a single mom, but i have a family who is looking after us, who cares for us.

Im also thankful for my parents who is very healthy and energetic at their age. Grateful for the blessings that we receive everyday.

I feel like I'm very much smack in the middle of the rat race. I'm at that point where tumataas nga ang sweldo, but the work-life balance is deteriorating. There are days when I don't even want to think about the money anymore, I just want to get through the day na hindi masyado nas-stress and at least have time to relax. I used to really like my job. Then I think about those people with higher-stress jobs than mine and I wonder how they cope, kasi stress feels like slow poison going through the body and I wonder if they are paid enough to endure that kind of thing.

(Sorry, ang nega ko na naman. Dito lang kasi ako nakakapaglabas ng thoughts ko!)

^LOL...oks lang. That's what this thread is about anyway. I was in that situation before when I was with a giant tech company in the Philippines. The benefits were awesome. The work culture is one of the best, in my opinion because it motivates you to be your best every single day. However, there's a catch...stress and pressure. They always promote work-life balance but in reality, hindi naman talaga possible dahil sa demand ng trabaho.

Now in Canada, I am working with a smaller company. Benefits is just minimum to what the law requires pero walang stress. Travel to and from work is under 10 minutes. As soon as the clock hits 4:25pm, uwi na ako. I live a simpler life. Being a single mom, of course, may mga strugges but in general I am happy and contented. As long as we're healthy and I have a job, I can't complain.

Exactly sis. I feel I have a nice job naman and I'm still trying to climb the career ladder, but sometimes I just really question the path I'm taking. Sadly wala pa akong alternative to this. Someday I hope to be able to spend more time doing what I really want (don't we all!).

Hi sis.. I agree.. I also feel like that.. I have a nice job before but I feel stressed and pressured most of the time and I just want to do something I like and have time for myself.. I think we all want that.. Kahit na I have the perfect circumstances parang di ako masaya.. I just want to be at peace and happy more than anything.. I hope we find peace and happines.. 

Nasa point na ako ng buhay ko where I don't know what I am doing.. Parang I hit a roadblock and don't know where to go.. I recent;y quit my job and now I want to refocus myself and find some inner peace to know what I really want..

Nasa point ako ng buhay ko ngayon na napatunayan ko un feeling ko di na ako babalik sa pinas. Un feeling na lahat na lang pera na sa isip. Napakaswerte ko na naka may asawa ako super supportive. Nagkaroon ako ng sariling pamilya na mamahalin ako kung ano ako hindi kung ano ang kaya kong ibigay. Nasa point ako ng buhay ko na tanggap ko ng may ganun talaga pamilya. Siguro dapat lang ako makontento Sa  sarili kong pamilya ngayon hindi ko na dapat hangarin na un pamilya ko sa pinas na maintindihan pa kung ano sitwasyon namin. I need to let them go puro sakit lang ng loob ang bigay sa akin. Buti pa ang asawa ko minamahal at inaalagaan ako ng sobra pa sa inaasahan ko.

nasa point na ako na pinamimigay ko na mga damit ko dahil wala na magkasya sakin hahaha

[Ms. Undecided]

^ Same feel sis huhu!

Nasa point na ako ng buhay ko na medyo puffy ang eyes ko kakaiyak sa mga pinapanood kong Kdrama. Jusko! kung alam ko lang na maaadik ako, di ko na sana inumpisahan. hahaha!

[three8one]

nasa point na gusto mo mag lamierda ng wala sa plano tas bigla mo maaalala na may mga monthly dues ka pala na parating. mukmok na lang sa gilid.. 

[futboler_dati]

Gusto ko ng magkakotse. At magresign.

[kvandenhaak]

Nasa point ako ng buhay ko na iniiwasan ko na ang malls. Not because I don't have the funds, wala na akong energy katulad dati na kahit maghapon sa mall, pwede.

[Shadow Angel]

Nasa point ako ng buhay ko ngayon kung gusto ko na ba talaga bigyan ng kapatid si LO. Parang sapat na sa akin si my LO pero everytime na nakikita ko sabik ka sa kalaro at naiisip ko wala kang ibang kasama pagdating ng panahon parang gusto ko bigyan ka ng kapatid. Nasa akin lang talaga ang problema anak dahil di ako sure 😢

[Brightfin]

nasa point ako ngayon na gusto ko na magsettle down pero hindi pa financially stable yung partner ko kaya natatakot aka I-leave sa chance ang future namin.

[chinablue]

Nasa point ako ngayon na I'm starting to feel that I want to be a mother soon. May longing na pag napupunta ako sa baby section ng malls and pag nakikita ko mga babies ng friends ko sa facebook. Pero sa kabilang banda, naiisip ko din kung ready na ba talaga ako. Having a baby means being responsible not only for myself but for my child and for our family. Naiisip ko kung ready na ba ako igive up muna ang mga travels. Buti na lang my husband is very supportive. We finally decided that ieenjoy muna namin this year na kaming dalawa lang. Looking forward to have my own baby next year. Sana talaga. 😊

nasa point ng buhay na parati na lang kinakabahan tuwing lalayo kayo.
