career dilemma part 2 - the solution

realized that i really will not be able to hold an 8am to 5pm job. with the load of the coordination business... we have 15 weddings pa this year... yeah i know it's not much but believe me, with the work that coordination entails, okay na sa akin yang ganyang load. isa pa, i'm also doubling as a homemaker (something which i have been neglecting the past few weeks because of coordination), as jojie's executive assistant (for his company and believe me, this takes a lot of my time!), and as a graduate student. so yeah, okay na yung load na yun. in fact, pag nagtatanong yung ibang friend-photographers namin, nagugulat sila na may ganung booking na raw kami considering that march lang kami nag-start. super thankful talaga ako dito.

but i have also realized that i don't want to just do coordination. i really want to do something psych-related. actually, one of my w@wie clients asked me if i'll be able to accept referrals for counseling pain patients/clients but i told her that i'd be more confident if i'll just refer her to someone. una, hindi ko talaga kaya ang regular hours. kahit na hindi naman ganun ka-regular yun, weekly sched pa rin yun. second and most important, kahit gaano pa ako ka-feeling magaling sa counseling, pang-clinical psych yung ganung level and i wouldn't want to shortchange her patients. so what i did was to refer her to someone i know who would be able to do a better job.

so, ano na ang gagawin ko? i want like the one i did in july... i don't think i was bale to blog about that. i facilitated workshops for freshmen students in ateneo for 3 saturdays. it was fun. i was able to do something i really enjoy (to be in front of the classroom), at the same time, hindi super stressful (except for the fact that i had to be there at 730 in the morning) at okay naman yung pay.

so since gusto ko psych-related pero hindi regular, ang hirap tuloy. then, ma'am vina came to the resuce!!! ma'am vina was one of my supervisors before. i never worked directly under her but since she sorta owned the clinic i was affiliated with, boss ko siya. she texted me the other day and asked me if i was interested in accpeting clients for psychological testing. of course i said yes!!! this way, hindi ako mase-stress, magagawa ko yung coordination, makakapag-train pa rin ako sa psych testing, a field which i'm really interested in. hindi pa kami nakakapag-usap since then but my mom said tumawag na daw siya sa bahay ng parents ko asking for my new landline. haaay! excited na ako!
