The Pause


More than a year since the last post.

I am a bit disappointed with my writer self--- because it allows itself to be consumed by my WAHM duties.

The Pause.
Almost three weeks since my WAHM schedule was paused.

In Aug 2018, I was able to work for a start up where I was able to grow and learn with a wonderful team.

Last month, that wonderful patch of my life ended and I just earned back 40 hours a week of my life.

What to do? I started applying for jobs online again.

I was able to get one job- digital marketing assistant, as needed only, so less to almost no work weekly.

I have an application in progress for another digital marketing assistant project- passed two initial interviews and preparing now for one final interview with the CEO on Monday.

Yesterday, with the help of a fellow WAHM, I got accepted to a writing gig, about 2 or 3 articles a week.

Writing about all these, I am now thinking if The Pause is an apt title for this post. 

Last week, I asked a friend if I can apply as a Health Benefit Agent for Maxicare. She hooked me up with her Unit Manager and on Monday morning, I was at the P2P bus station in Kawit at 6am--- for my accreditation training which I passed! So yeah, I am now an accredited health benefit agent for one of the leading HMO companies in the Philippines.

I met a lot of wonderful people in that training. They inspired me to become more excited about this new course my career as a WAHM is shifting to.

Of course, because I got less hours of work on the computer, I am able to help my husband with KANSIS Made more. We've been talking a lot about our plans for out small business and there are exciting times ahead!

So, that's a pause for a WAHM like me.

Expect more posts!

Happy Weekend and thanks for reading!

when i meet love again

when i meet love again, i hope i’ll be enough. i hope it chooses me without wanting to change me. i hope i'm exactly what it’s looking for. and if it finds out i'm a work-in-progress and a little damaged, i hope it still sees me as someone worth staying with. when i meet love again, i hope it's clear. i hope it shows up as love, not sadness in disguise or just temporary happiness posing as romance. i hope it knows that loving me means having me on my best days and also my boring, weak, and unlovable days. when i meet love again, i hope it meets me halfway. i hope it’s excited to be loved right, just as it wants to love me right. i hope it’s the one that will happily reciprocate my energy, learn my habits and languages, and go the extra mile to show me what i deserve. and finally, when i meet love again, i hope this time it’s meant to last

how my life changed in august 2023

august 2023 was a turning point. it was the month that everything fell apart, and yet somehow, it’s the month that set me on a path toward something unexpected—something that feels like freedom. when my husband left, it was like a storm hit my life. the pain was real, raw, and I cried for a month straight. there were days I felt like I couldn’t breathe, let alone move forward. but in the quiet of my grief, I found the strength to rebuild. I prayed, whispered my hopes into the stillness, and something amazing happened: I found a job at an amazing company. it’s everything I’d wanted—a night shift, so I can still be there for my daughter during the day. it pays well, gives me the balance I need, and feels like the universe heard my prayers. I got a new car—something that feels like a symbol of the new life I’m carving. every morning, I drive my daughter to school, and every afternoon, I’m there to pick her up. I cherish these moments with her, watching her grow and knowing I’m present for...
