When I was single and not yet a mother, my week nights were busy attending events or probably rendering overtime at work. It also involved weekly trip to spas or nail salons, meeting friends for dinner or for spontaneous out-of-town trips, say Tagaytay. I didn't mind coming home in the wee hours of the morning. Life then was all about ME, myself and I. I had the time of my life, as if there's no more tomorrow.
Now that I am in my 30s, a wife and a mother of two handsome boys, I look at life in a different perspective. Wait a minute, let's make that a 180 degree change in outlook. Self-centered changed to Self-sacrificing. Come-what-may style before, now Focused. Carefree turned to Cautious. Major expense on the latest gadgets replaced by cost on tuition fees or vaccinations. Over-spending is now Budgeting. Even Bar-Cocktail Menu has evolved to Children's Party Packages.
I did not ever wish to turn back time nor feel a bit of regret that everything today is totally different. I actually feel empowered that I've embraced singleness with zest and gracefully transformed to the woman I am now.

MONEY MATTERS
The woman now is also more concerned about Money. Budgeting. Saving. Investing. Many has said that money is the root of all evil. I believe not. The love of money and greed is the root of all evil. This misconception came from a misinterpreted bible verse (1Timothy 6:10). For if it is true that money is evil, then we would all strive to be poor just to be good.
