Like you We're Human too!

A friend of mine called me and I was so ecstatic.Since she moved we hardly talked to each other.We were excited to hear each others stories.One thing that can't get out of my head is what her employer said to her and about her friends.I was one of her many friends in fact a close friend.Let me elaborate my stories for further understanding.My friend was working with her employer for almost six years.This year she's about to quit her job because next year she's about to get married.She already told to her employer and it was okey.Then one afternoon her employer gave a so called Peptalk about her.My friend doesn't know that her boss had been stalking to her facebook account.Her boss said I saw your pictures with your friends."Your just a servant you act as if your the boss".Youre friends is "Maarte" I don't know how to explain it in english it's something like fussy,vain,fastidious it's mix of that words.How could she said that just because we're wearing nice clothes,we took silly pictures or because we're just maids.Its been a week since my friend told me that stories and until now it's still in my head.Just because we are maid/ servant whatever you call it we can't get a life that we deserve.Were human too just like you and we are not define by our work.Yes we're just a servant to you but we make your everyday life easier.I know you can replace us even hundreds of us but today it's hard to find a servant that is trustworthy,genuine and work their butt-assess off .We know how to act when we're at work.We know what manners is! We had limited time to go out with our friends so  we make most of it.We make sure we spend it meaningfully.Lastly that's our detoxing time to all our stresses that we get from our work.So before you speak taste your words first!Were the same both humans.

Story of my Life

Have you ever asked yourself why your life turned out to be in a such way? Why things aren't 

happening according to your plans? Are you even trying to fulfill your dream and goals in life? You 

wanted to make  difference even if you wanted the time isn't right.  Those are the questions I kept 

asking myself that cause many sleepless nights.  It is so depressing why things aren't happening I 

mean you dreamed about it since childhood.  You almost have it then suddenly it vanished into thin 

air.  Even though you wanted to do something you just can't.  All you can do is to let go and face 

your reality.  Reality bites!                 

Ever since I was a kid I wanted to be a nurse maybe because my cousin is a nurse and being a 

nurse that time was a big hit.  When I  was little my mindset is to study hard.  Lets say I'm studious 

and all I wanted is to excel I may not get the medal of valor but I've always been in the ranked. 

Moving to my senior year I got a chance to be part of  special program called accelerated class also 

known as AC1.  This program allows you to take high school for 3 years.  Isn't it cool? 3 years in 

high school is a lot of worked and sometimes it drains you out but if you looked at the brighter side I 

learned a lot.  They said high school is the happiest moment in school life for me indeed yes but not 

until I was about to graduate.  Few weeks of my school life all the chaos begun.  My father lost his 

job.  I won't detail about it because my father now is in peace! All is set to college.  I passed the 

college entrance exam some requirements and voila I'm gonna be officially college student and 

imagine in 5 years more or less I'm gonna be certified nurse.  That would be great!! And now my 

future is in jeopardy?I can't imagine this is all happening to me all my dreams came to crashed.  I 

wanted to do something but I have no other option and decided to compartmentalize my dreams.  I 

box it inside my head.  I need to work not just for me but for my family.  At a very young age I 

become a bread winner.  Welcome to the world of bread winner!  I landed in different kinds of job as 

a saleslady, crew in a restaurant, a cashier and my very first job is in a canteen.  Now I am a maid 

pretty much not what I plan but I know God stored something awesome for me.   I worked hard that I 

forgot about myself.  I woke up and realize how about myself and my dreams? I was envious with my 

classmate because most of them had their degree and I was nothing.  I used to self pity a lot but I 

 over come those because eventually I realize I was very lucky for who I am today.  They said your   

work won't define you it's you who will be define.  I'm not forgetting my dreams but it changed now.   

I wanted to be a writer and financial adviser.  Now I learned how to pay myself first and live below 

my means.  Today I can  say that I save some penny for myself and hopefully next year be able to 

start a degree.  I know it's gonna be a hell of a ride.  Bring it on !! I may knock down many times in 

life  but still I will rise up.  This is what I want and I will get it no matter what!
