My Life Updates Before 2018 Ends! (Overdue Post)
Hi guys! Yes, I am still alive, kicking and umm...fatter! Haha. This is an overdue post but still publishing it anyway!
A lot has change in my life while I am away. One is that I got a new job back in May 2018, I'm working now at BGC! My salary has increase, and so is my job responsibilities. Pati stress nag-increase din!
So side kwento muna tayo mga beshy, before, I thought working in BGC is more accessible for my daily commute but oh my gosh I was totally wrong! The traffic there is horrendous. Di ko alam kung bakit pero mas malala pa ata ang lugar na yun sa EDSA!
Di ko makuhang gawin ang mantra ni Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray, "to look for the beauty in the situation" kasi nagkakawrinkles ako sa 'twing nakakauwi ako ng bahay ng late. Imagine 2 hours akong nakapila para lang makasakay ng van araw-araw. Haaaay. Terible talaga!

| The daily struggle of being a commuter! |
Let's talk about my job, my job title is still the same but the stress is 1000x bigger! Eto yung talagang dahilan ko bakit gusto ko magquit na pero hindi pa dapat kasi nga di pa ako nakaka 1 year! Charot. Infairness ha may mga positive namang nangyari sa life ko.
Two advantages I can think of is first, I learned a lot. Like gumagana lahat ng brain cells ko kapag nasa office ako kasi gusto ko matapos mga tasks ko. Minsan naman bago ako matulog iniisip ko na paano yung mga steps na gagawin ko para mas maging madali yung mga gawain ko. Ewan ko kung ganito din kayo sa work nyo, pero eto yung parang approach ko. Hehe.
Second, on the financial aspect, I also had a chance to save big time for build my emergency fund. I can proudly say now that I have achieved my goal of having 6x of my monthly salary. I put my emergency funds on my BPI maxisaver account.
I am super stress every time I go to work in the morning. Oo mga bakla morning pa lang iniisip ko na sana uwian na para makauwi na ko sa bahay namin which is not okay for me kasi it only show how much I hated my job. I'm thinking of resigning this 2019 that's why I am busy searching, sending my resume, and applying for a new work.
If you will ask me if I am happy with my work right now, the answer is NO, but, I still need this job that's why I am not quitting anytime soon. Maybe if there's a better opportunity coming my way, that's the time I will quit.
I also thinking of pushing freelancing work because hello nobody wants to commute everyday. For now I am staying on my work but will give you updates if ever nagquit na ko or hindi. LOL.
Anyhow, kamusta nman ang 2019 nyo? Anong financial goal nyo this year? Share your thoughts or financial plan this 2019 on the comment section below at magchikahan tayo dyan.
Tiis at tiyaga lang, Cindy. Tama ka na pag may dumating na better opportunity, saka magquit. :)
ReplyDeleteFinancial goal ko ay makapag-ipon ng mas malaki this 2019. Yun naman ang constant goal ko talaga, hehe.
Hi, Ms. Edel yan din po ang goal ko this year. Plan ko mag invest sa uitf and mutual funds. hehe.
DeleteAng Financial Goal ko this year ay mareplenish ang Emergency Fund ko since nagamit ko sya dahil na-retrenched ako sa trabaho.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I have more time in blogging na kaya you'll see me very active in social media. I am planning to open a demo account first in eToro (and later on, live account) and copy trades of veteran traders there. I'll inform you if it is okay and create blog post as well.
Keep your blog alive, Cindy. :)
Kung may time ako Jet. Magblog ako baka nga itaglish ko na lang ang entry ko para marami akong masabi.
