A Time to Find a New Field of Interest

As I approach the end of my interest to my crush, I need to find out what are the other things that could actually spark my interest. Now is the perfect time to find a new one!

It's accounting! I want to learn basic and advanced principles of accounting. I need to use accounting in my daily life. If there is one thing that I regret, it is not learning accounting very well. When I was at the law school in 2009, I took my accounting subjects for granted. If only I could turn back the time....

I really need accounting nowadays because I deal with money everyday. Budgeting is the hardest part. I admire my mom eventhough she had never studied accounting. She was able to budget our monthly family income. I need to budget because I don't want to experience the things I've experienced in 2010 and 2011. I used to be a call center agent. I was a full time inbound agent and at the same time, a full time tutor of Korean students. I worked for nine hours, including my unpaid one-hour break, in the call center. My shift starts at 10pm until 7am. My net income during that time was Php 14,000. After my shift in call center, I had to rush to the Korean Academy where I was also employed. My shift there starts at 8am until 5pm while my private tutorial starts at 6pm - 10pm. And then, I needed to go out at 9:30pm because I also needed to log-in at 9:55pm in the call center. Any way my workplaces were just a walking distance away from each other. But still, it was tiresome!!! My salary there was Php 14,000 without taxes and deductions. All in all, I used to have a salary of Php 28,000.
And yet, I still experienced starvation. LOL! I ended up asking for my dad to give me some money... I begged him to give me some because I was kinda short of budget. LOL

At the end of the year 2011, I asked myself. "Where did my salary go?!?" I wasn't able to enjoy my little salary.
To tell you honestly, I wasn't the one who kept my ATM card. It was in my mom's keeping. I voluntarily surrendered it from the very beginning because I saw their financial hardships when I was studying in college.
What I like about my mom is that, she knows how to handle money.
One time I asked her for my ATM card and she said it was okay if I'd be the one to keep it. That was the time I started to be a beggar. Haha! I begged for my dad's mercy to give me money.

Actually, I spent my money in buying a lot of grocery items. Food! I bought a lot of cream cheese, nutella, etc. Food is my weakness. I was just 20 years old when I started working with pay. I used to work as community health nurse without pay in Novaliches and Caloocan. I just couldn't tolerate a job without pay. My young mind was entirely focused on food. And yet, I always suffer from excessive and extreme hunger.

Now that I am already 23, (I just turned 23 last August 2!) food is no longer the apple of my eye. I don't want to spend too much on food. I'm working in a call center right now and a part-time tutor. I am planning to save a lot of money from my humble salary.

That's why I need accounting!!! I 'll start studying online tomorrow and I want to make the most out of it. After 18 months, I am going to have my own condo unit! I am going to work very, very hard for it!
After that, I'll purchase my own home and then I'll give something valuable for my parents!!! I am going to be very independent! I'll start moving now!
