Career or Lovelife?
While having a very sumptuous dinner at Dampa Macapagal and having a very lively conversation about the latest chikas and chismis, a colleague of mine suddenly posted this question right at my face.
"Veena, if needed to choose, career o lovelife?"
I didnt know what to reply. I think i just fumbled some incomprehensive answer which sounded like "hmmm both" (duh), then continued poking at my crab, and moved on to the next topic of gossip.
The question stuck to me though while driving home after. As always i had a hard time choosing between two things. Two Good Things. (Typical me!) I'm amazed at people who can readily choose and answer this question without batting an eyelash and not having second thoughts. Others would definitely say "career!" as they believe that if you have a great career you won't have trouble finding love. Love can always wait, but career opportunities of a lifetime cannot. The opposite sex would definitely be at awe and would love to marry someone who is a high-powered career guy/gal on their way to the top. I for one would be one of those girls who would love to be with guys who have ambitions, who aspire to be the best, who are achievers, and who can provide for the future family. That's my type of man! (I guess it is every woman's!). And then as for successful career women, only the lower class form of guys would feel intimidated and insecure of the woman's achievements, hence not worth of the girl's time and attention.
On the other side of the coin, there are those who can readily choose "lovelife!" for the reason that a career is yet another a temporary thing. True love is a gift and it doesnt hit the same place twice, so if you will let it slip away, it will be gone forever. Those who choose this can actually drop their jobs and career in an instant and just stay at home being a housewife/houseband and take care of the family. There's nothing more important to life for them than spending the rest of their lives with someone they love, regardless if they are just living in the middle of the farm or just making ends meet.
Until now i am undecided. I love my career and i also love love. I'm still hoping the answer can be both. No need to choose and instead experience both at the same time. I'd like to think that im a high-performing career woman, aiming to climb up the ladder (or ride the elevator, to be faster) of the corporate world. At the same time, i believe I am also just as hopeless romantic as anyone else, a girl waiting and hoping to be rescued, wanting to love and be loved by the man of her dreams.
That's why if i have to choose between career and love, i dont think i can. I cannot give up one. It would have to be really both for me. We can have the best of both worlds anyway, right?
But then again, i guess, if really really needed to choose, (as in a matter of life and death!), i think at this time of my life, i will have to choose Lovelife.
