to be or not to be

maybe i'm just getting older (and wiser! hehe).

i've been thinking about my future. what am i gonna do after i graduate? i know of a lot of people who have very definite paths. some are getting into law school. some are working for their family business. some are going abroad for "greener pasteurs". hell, mau hasn't even graduated yet, and she has gotten 2 job offers from 2 top corporations in the philippines. i envy people like those. they know what they want. they know how to achieve what they want.

while here i am sitting and wondering what the impending future awaits me. do i pursue a career in marketing? do i go to spain right away to find a job? do i try out being a flight attendant for 3 years so i can travel the world while i'm getting paid at the same time? do i work for our family business? do i marry fresh out of college and start a family? (ok, that last one is a little far-fetched!)

i feel like i want to do a lot of things in my life while i'm still young and healthy. i want to go to places, and explore the beauty of the world. i want to get a job that's sufficient. but more importantly, a job that i have passion for. a job that makes me want to look forward to waking up each day. i want to have a family! with that man i'm gonna love for the rest of my life, and children that would make my reason for breathing. one measure of success (for a woman, at least) is if one has raised her family well. i also want to go to spain and apply the language that i've had devoted my time and effort into learning. i think the problem lies in prioritizing. which is in the top of my list? what do i want to do first? the answer is...i don't know!!! hehehe!

i have around 1 year to get my priorities straight. hopefully i'll make the right choice. i hope that choice will bring me the happiness that i deserve! :)
