This is my very first journal here... but I'll keep it short and sweet since I'm kinda sleepy (already 12 midnight over here).
As I wait for the weekend to end, I try to gather whatever remaining requirements I need to submit for my transfer to my new company, Accenture. I've been working for iBank/UnionBank for 4 years now, presently as a Web Developer, and although it somewhat pains me to leave my old family, I am relieved that I've finally made this step to a better paying company. It's more of a need than a want since, at my age, I should be earning big bucks to be able to support my own family. Instead, I'm living a pitiful life, earning only a meager wage and I have little to give to my parents.
However, I kinda find this big transition hardly exciting. I just have this sixth sense that once I start there, more sacrifices will be made. My social life's definitely going to be diminished. My plans of starting a family might be delayed... or perhaps permanently cancelled due to the fact that most of my time would be eaten up by my work load and training, and plus the fact that I'm (perhaps) the only one supporting my parents (or at least trying to).
I feel lost... and there's nothing I can do for 2 years or so since I'm contractually bonded. And I'm envious of my friends who don't have this burden on their backs because they have a well off family and needn't worry about expenses because their dads or moms can handle it... or because they have a family business that can take care of it.
