July 3, 2006. Coming from a 3 1/2-year stay at an auditing firm, I felt like a butterfly struggling out of its cocoon. I can still remember my first day at C. I walked the corridors of the 33rd floor with a tote bag bearing a copy of my resume and the usual girl stuff. I walked with fear in my mind, but with a renewed hope in my heart.
Long ago, I dreamt of working in an international organization where people from anywhere in the world would easily recognize. It came true when I worked for C.
Everything is in perfect order, I must say. Career wise, I believe I have placed myself in a secured position. I am continuously learning new things, gaining new knowledge. And best of all, along with my dream coming true, I have got myself a set of crazy yet reliable people I call friends.
Then, that one tough decision. To my surprise, I did not realize what I am willing to give up to fulfill my dream of becoming a somewhat-devoted mother. I decided to leave C.
September 14, 2010. 4 years, 2 months and 11 days. I felt like a caterpillar building my own cocoon. I will always remember my last day at C. I walked the corridors of 38th floor with tears in my eyes and a box bearing a collection of happy and sad memories. I walked with fear in my mind, but with a renewed hope in my heart.
My husband is an avid John Lennon fan. One reason why we chose a "John" version for our son's name (Eian is the Irish form of John).
