Antonia is going to Qatar

Antonia hurriedly left this morning to apply for a passport and process her visa to Qatar. Her niece who works at a hotel in Qatar has found a prized job for her, as a domestic helper to a childless couple who lives in a mansion in Qatar.

She only informed us this morning that she’s leaving.

Antonia——–“Mam, pahingi ako ng luggage bag”.

Edmund gave her a nice and brand-new looking luggage. Mukhang isang beses lang nagamit, we bought from the US.

Antonia——–“Mam, sagana daw ang pagkain at mansion ang bahay. Tiga bantay lang daw ako, mag-isa”.
Omb————“Magkano ang sweldo mo?”
Antonia——–“Fifteen thousand pesos”.
Omb————“Mabuti, makakaipon ka, wag ka lang magbo-boyfriend”.
Antonia——–“Si Mam, matanda na ako”.

Antonia——–“Kung magbigay daw ng tip one thousand riyal”.
Omb————“Maganda sa Qatar, magugustuhan mo dun, puro Pilipino. Sige, pagpunta namin dun, tatawagan ka namin”.
Omb————“Mami-miss mo ang mga ulam nating tilapia”.
Antonia——–“Kahit daw ano mam, puro masarap ang mga pagkain. Pag daw may holiday, nagbibigay ng gold”.
Omb————“Magpataba ka, para malakas ang katawan mo. Sa dami ng gold na isusuot mo, para hindi ka madapa, sa bigat ng kwintas mo. Magpataba ka”.

She rode with me to the office so that my driver could help her get a cab faster.

Good luck to Antonia. I am sure you will have a great time in Qatar. Goodbye chicken tinola, fried chicken, chicken cocido, chicken adobo and bip pilit.

Qatar here she comes.
