Tell me, is there something one can't do for love? I don't think so. A couple of years ago I asked for an impossible long vacation even if it could mean losing my job just so I could spend time with the love of my life. Then I eventually left the company for the same reason the next year. We needed and decided to spend about two months together and it's too much to ask to my previous employer, they've been considerate enough already. I didn't try, I could have but no, it wouldn't be fair to my colleagues who had to battle even just for a couple of days' vacation. I had to do it because in a relationship time is a huge contributor and in a long distance relationship time together is more than anything else in the world.
So after the long vacation I had to go for a job hunt and I got the BEST! I got hired in one of the best firms -not just in Cebu- but in the world. I enjoyed my job, I met a lot of good, intelligent, kind, very professional and interesting people. Again, I've been so blessed with considerate bosses and was authorised a long vacation while on probation -FOR MY WEDDING- (a job in the Philippines can't get any better than that). Then I had on-and-off health issues, thankfully not serious ones but they're enough to destruct me from my job and it's very unfortunate because due to these things my one year stay of the company was even shortened. I felt like I didn't know everyone as much as I wanted to but it's the life.
Ironically, it's true that while I was working with this last great company I look forward to leaving as well, not because I don't like it there (of course!) but because leaving the company means being with my husband for good. To be with the one you love is priceless.
I've always looked forward to taking care of my husband, looking after the house, missing him a few hours while he's at work and wishing he'd be back right away....and here I am, doing all these and then some! Life is beautiful! I'm enjoying a lot being a very loved housewife. I'm learning a lot of things and it gives me so much joy to be able to take care of him, the love of my life. The first, the last and the only one in the world.
I don't care how many jobs I have to leave and how many salaries I have to miss. I don't mind staying at home while waiting for him to get back from work because my love for him and the love that he gives me every second of the day is more than everything else in the world.
