A Man is NOT a FINANCIAL PLAN

At Manila South Port, Export Division.
Kuya: Balita ko may nanliligaw sayo.
Me: Dati kong boyfriend, Kuya.
Kuya: Anong trabaho?
Me: Engineer.
Kuya: Walang pera yun. Ang daming customs broker bakit hindi yun? Yung kasama ko dito sa opisina interesado sayo.
Me: Ayaw ko sa broker. Babaero! Haha!

Conversation with in-law:
Ate: Flavor of the month ka na naman dito. Ang talino mo daw kasi malaki sahod ng pinakasalan mo.
Me: Haha!

In two above conversation, alin ang tingin ninyo na totoo? Sasabihin ko sa inyo, both of those ay totoo.

Sabi nga nila isang buwang sahod ng engineer eh isang lodgement lang ng import declaration naming mga broker. Allowance ng engineer for his monthly expenses eh isang gabing pang-inom lang ng accredited licensed customs broker. At talagang naputanayan ko yun sa first date namin. Kung ang mga ibang suitors ko nuon eh sa mamahaling restaurant ako dinadala, aba first date nmin ni Abbey McDonalds Trinoma. Pero do not get me wrong, hindi ko siya minaliit nun, natuwa pa nga ako kasi walang pretentions. First date, one point agad. :)

After ng around 6 months na ligawan, naging kami.

So nung mag-on na kami. Meet-the-parents and the whole family na ang arte. And I am so shocked ng kausapin ako ng mama nya. Sinabi ng mama nya "Alam ko may kaya kayo, maganda stado mo sa buhay. Kami anak mahirap lang kami". And sinasabi nya yun while tears flowing. Kung di ko rin daw seseryosohin ang anak nya eh hiwalayan ko na agad. Gusto ko sana sumagot na "Tita, ako po ang babae. Tsaka di po ako namamanhikan." Haha. Nakakatuwa kasi they are so transparent. Meet-the-fambam.. 2 points.


So dun na ako nagtatanong about his career plan. He deliberately answered me back na ayaw niya ng promotions because ayaw niya ng responsibility and walang katapusan na meetings. On 2008  I am already a supervisor. So I know how it feels to be on a higher ground.

He went to Singapore, we got married and little by little I instilled to his mind how good it is to be promoted. What are the pros to be managements' apple of the eyes and leading the team to what is good for the company.

Yang paliit-liit na salita na yan minsan napupunta sa pang-iirap. And lucky some of the books he have read taught him and backed me up of the idea. Heaven conspires and the right time came to Abbey.. Taas rango-taas sweldo.

Yes, I am that wise to choose Abbey to be my partner. Because I see in him the potentials well-hidden in a box of insecurities. I see in him his value that he never knew. I see how knowledgeable he is in managing people when he was described by the men and women around him.

Yung taga-Customs na nagsabi na wag si Abbey ay ginawa naming ninong sa kasal and on some kamustahan...
Kuy Ninong: Bilib ako sayo tahimik lang pero may napupundar na kayong mag-asawa.
Me: Kailangan po eh.
Kuya Ninong: Power Couple kayo iha!

Be the King and Queen of each other and together build your empire. Happy 4th Year Wedding Anniversary Baby!
