I fired our chef-kusinera kasi maarte. I asked her to go to the grocery, accompanied by a driver pa ha, ayaw, she delegated the work to the lavandera kasi daw mahihirapan sya maglakad. I let her go, useless having someone like that. Ang daming kyaw-kyaw.
I’ve interviewed a few applicants but mukhang mga ewan din.
1. Kusi App #1 (kusinera applicant)
Omb——–“Anu-ano ang alam mong lutuin”.
Kusi app—“Lahat madame, kung ano ang gusto nyo, basta sabihin nyo lang”.
Omb——–“Kare-kare, sopas, pansit, yung mga ordinaryo alam mo”.
Kus app—-“Oo madame, basta ituro mo sa akin ang ingredients, lulutuin ko”.
Omb——–“Hindi ka pala marunong, ako pa magtuturo sayo. Busy kasi ako wala akong time magturo”.
2. Kusi App #2
Omb———“Kanino ka huling nagtrabaho?”
Kusi App—-“Sa Whiteplains madame”.
Omb———“Kanino dun?”
Kusi App—-“1986”.
Omb———“Napakatagal na nun. Saan ka galing nung isang linggo?”
Kusi App—-“Limang taon ako madam sa kanila”.
Omb———“Marunon kang magluto ng pasta?”
Kusi App—–“Past—-ta?”
Omb———-“So hindi mo alam ang pasta. Marunong kang magluto ng steak?”
Kusi App—–“Istek… istek?”
Kusi App——“Mam, kailan ang day off?”
Omb———-“Hindi pa kita tinatanggap day off na agad”.
Omb———-Ano ang paborito mong lutuin na pinaka espesyal?”
Kusi App—-“Pinakbet”.
3. Kusi App # 3
Omb———“Saan ka huling namasukan?”
Kusi App—-“All around ako mam”.
Omb———“Saan ka huling namasukan?”
Kusi App—-“Wala mam, galing ako sa probinsya”.
Omb———“Hindi tutuoo yan, saan ka galing nung isang buwan?”
Kusi App—-“Kila Michael Ong, nagbakasyon ako mam sa Bicol, bumalik na ako”.
Omb———“Ano’ng trabaho mo kila Michael Ong”.
Kusi App—-“Nagluluto, laba, linis, alaga ng aso, ako rin ang tumatao sa water refilling station nila”.
Omb———“Ilan kayong maid dun?”
Kusi App—-“Ako lang mam”.
Omb———“Ang galing mo naman, ikaw lahat? Magkano sweldo mo kila Michael Ong?”
Kusi App—-“5,500 isang buwan”.
Omb———“Bakit ka pinaalis?”
Kusi App—-“Hindi ako pinaalis mam, tinawag nya ako punyeta kaya ayaw ko na”
Omb———“Bakit nagalit sayo? May pera bang nawala?”
(missing cash collections)
One Kusi App specifically said she didn’t want to clean.
One house girl applicant said she didn’t want to do anything else other than clean the interior of the house.
One Kusi App’s job requirement was for a 4 day a week work schedule.
The search continues…

Red flag if at the interview, they’re already showing their inflexibility. Headache. If you found one with a good personality, it possible to have a cooking test before you confirm? So you can taste their timpla? Like a skills test. (The food you posted from your fired kusinera looked so unappetizing. I can only imagine how it tasted.)
