1. We don’t allow maids to go inside the drivers’ quarters and vice versa. Yesterday, I saw maid J coming out of the drivers’ room. Medyo nagulat sya that I was standing there when she went out.
I asked her what she was doing inside the drivers’ room. She answered “blue tooth”.

Today, she was in and out of the room again. Every chance she got, dun sya nag-ii-stambay. nagulat pa ako, I saw her wearing sando. She took off her top blouse. Bigla syang nagulat na naman when she turned and saw me in the garage. She pretended to be doing something by turning on the faucet. I pretended to not notice her. When the car was already outside the gate, she left what she was kunwari was doing.
Malamang yang blue tooth na yan mauwi sa blue bird.

2. There was a time when we had good maids. Even when we’re not around, they did their work. My son’s yaya stayed for 7 years, na-inlove lang sa basurero kaya she left. We also had a cook that I got from the agency and she stayed for three years. Yung iba, sila-sila nag-aaway kaya umaalis. Lately, we’ve not been lucky.
Except for our present lavandera. She is dependable.

3. I spent several hours yesterday trying to reduce my paper clutter. I shredded old shopping receipts. Yung ink nabura na so it’s useless keeping receipts from 2011, 2012.
After several hours, I didn’t notice any considerable reduction. Ang kalat pa rin.

4. There’s a newly opened coffee shop in the neighborhood. To show our patronage, we took out some pasta and pizza. Oyen told me she’s been buying a cup of coffee from them, every morning before she goes to work.

5. Even if there’s a notice at the church’s main entrance about the proper church attire, many women still attend mass wearing shorts, sando, bare backs, midribs. Even if the priest reminds the parishioners every now and then to wear a more decent attire when attending mass, parang mga bingi itong mga babae, naka shorts pa rin nagsisimba. Di ba sinabi ng bawal magsuot na naka micro-mini, shorts, bareback, midrib, spaghetti, off shoulders, plunging necklines, see thru sa loob ng simbahan? Dapat every mass, i-flash ng i-flash sa wide screen. Para yung mga bingi ay makita yung lisahan ng bawal.

6. Finally, after threatening not to pay them in full if they don’t come today, the company where I ordered Oyen’s closets sent two carpenters to repair the locks, hinges, etc. It was tiring to keep on calling and texting, to remind, request, remind, to come and repair my daughter’s closets. After several weeks, dumating rin.
Napanis ang baon nilang tanghalian kaya dali-daling pinagluto na lang dito. I gave the guys P500 each tip. Hayan mahilig tayong mag-tip. Nasasanay na lahat nag-e-expect ng tip.

7. I went to Greenhills yesterday noon to have Oyen’s earrings fixed. She lost a clasp ba ang tawag or lock? I paid P2,800 for a costume made one, for pick up on wednesday.
I had my LV around my shoulders. Naalala ko bigla, not good to go to the tiangge with LV because people would think that’s where you bought your bag.

8. There were many fake watches too. Alam ko dati ng maraming Rolex. Pero today, I was surprised to see a display case full of Patek Philippe watches. The solid gold for women is P3,500. For men 3,800. The Rolex 2,000 daw may discount pa. Why go to Lucerne and spend so much time and effort asking for extra discount?

9. Kung gusto mo ternohan mo pa ng LV na punda ng unan (pillow cases). Sarap ng tulog mo. Naka Patek ka na, naka LV pa.
