The Last Spinster Standing

I have a friend by the name, Jacq, who I considered the most career-focused among my circle of friends.  We were classmates in UST Graduate School and I immediately sensed that she’s the “serious” when it comes to career and at building a career path.  I’m just second to her when it comes to “raket”.  So if you’re referring to who’s gonna grow old as spinsters… Sheggz and Jacq are the usual topping the lists…

Getting high-paying jobs wasn’t that difficult for her.  She’s sending me URLs of companies promising good compensation and good opportunity.  The casual conversation went like this…

J:  Business Intelligence Solutions.  Machachallenge ka sis..
S:  Intellectually challenged ako sis… baka machallenge sila sa akin hahaha

It’s always to that effect… Jacq is the one who convinced me to try other areas of IT Management that led me to where I am now…

But just this morning, I was surprised when I got the chance to chat with her… “Sis, lie low muna ako sa career…”

What the heck are you talking about?!  Is that you?!?  Jacq is the next in line who intends to go abroad and marry her long-time love and have a baby.

You might be successful in your career and enjoying the fruits of your hardwork but nothing can beat the happiness of coming home to your “family”.   You might be tagged with several names… but nothing is more rewarding than being called “Mom and Wife”….

Oh well, Jacq… you have proven your worth and you did it very very well… now’s the time to put yourself in a place you’ve always wanted… in the arms of your loving “Husband” hehehe

Time to rest, my dear…  time to love…

Leave all those high-paying prospective employers to me… hehehe

Oh well ulit… in Tropang Peks… ako na lang ang naiwang pinakamagandang spinster! hahahaha
