No Barriers

I seldom get the chance to talk to my friends and keep them up-to-date with what's going on with my life... well, this is it. My online journal. Yah, another personal blog,just exactly what the world needs now. Let's be realistic, it's cheaper than overseas calls. Less tiring than novel-like emails.

Engagement?
I spent my lunch time listening about this. Am I engaged? No, I am not referring to my lovelife, but with my work and the company where I work. No questions about the the company, it's great and all... but sometimes as we grow older our priorities in life change. I remember when I was in college, when I was asked to rank what is personally important and what drives me, it was as follows:
1-Career Growth & opportunities
2-Work
3-Life Balance
4-Compensation
5-Company's Reputation & Policies
6-People
I guess my perception about work was different then. But now, with all the different factors I need to consider (economy, plans of having my own family, supporting my parents), things have changed.
1-Life Balance
2-Compensation
3-Work
4-Career Growth &
opportunities
5-People
6-Company's Reputation & Policies
Who doesn't want to spend time with their love ones? Maybe when I was younger, this wasn't on the top of my list as I am more eager to set foot in the office.. but now that I am getting older (and my parents are getting older) I would really want to spend time with them as much as possible. But this doesn't mean that I don't have any plans of getting out of Manila. Did I say that my bf is taking up Nursing (We both graduated BS Math CS, but a few years back he pursued his second course). Why are there a lot of people taking up nursing these days? Because of the opportunities abroad, of course!

Going back to the topic, so now my second priority is the compensation. As much as possible, I want to provide the needs and wants of parents. I know they weren't able to enjoy so much when I was still studying, cause we are not rich you know! And of course next priorities would be doing what I love to do and having fun along the way...

Now, tell me? Am I engaged?
