I will be a working Mom of two toddlers in 2028, LOH 118.

Each of us always has planned about the future, what or where to be. Yet, sometimes the turn of events doesn't go with us and leads us to another path. The choice is ours, whether to pursue what we had planned or go where life redirected us to be.

Many years ago, at a job interview, I was asked by HR, Five years from now, how I could see myself? Silly me, as my answer was unfavorable to the company, so in the end, I wasn't hired. I was just a young lady then, needed to be more knowledgeable.

Thus, if you asked me five years from now I could see myself as;

Working at home here in my husband's hometown in Batangas. I learned to care for myself at a young age as my mother was always busy working to earn money. She doesn't have time to cook breakfast, wash our clothes, or prepare my uniform at school. Bedtime stories? I only read that in several books but haven't experienced that in real life. No, I have never been mad at my mother though sometimes I felt sad too. As far as I can remember, I learned how to do household chores before I reached the teenage stage. That is why I promised myself that if I were a mother, my future offspring would never experience that. Not at an early age, as I will personally take care of them. Though the good side was, I grew up independent and could live anywhere alone.

Thus, with this crazy inflation, I don't think it would be okay if only my husband worked. Money was hard to earn these days but could be spent in just a blink of an eye. Aside from inflation, I was used of working for years and having my own money. So, I wouldn't say I like being financially dependent on my husband. Call me crazy, but I wanted to be prepared just in case something might happen. Like what? Like, what if my hubby loses his way going home and has another woman? What will happen to my children or me?

Ah, this is me in 2028.

Aside from working at home, I will be a Mother with two toddlers!, Initially, I wanted to have three as I came from a big family! Also, I want my child to have someone to be with. That would be his/her sibling. However, I don't think I could still manage to have it, so I am okay with two. I was hoping for a girl and a boy. Oh, I've longed to have my mini me whom I would dress and do some kikay things. Yet, if HE would bless me with different gender, that is still perfectly fine with me. I would surely be grateful.

Hehe, I visualize myself learning to cook and prepare delicious food for my kids. With such a unique presentation. What? I may not be a good cook for now, but I might be years from now. I am just too lazy to learn how, as eating alone with the food you prepare was not that enjoyable.
Also, I am sure that my life would be a lot of fun, our home would be fill will laughers as indeed kids brings so much joy. Lastly, embracing the challenges as a Mom.
