Mikee’s yaya will arrive this Friday! Woohoo!

The 20-year old lady is a young mother of two and the cousin of the help. Plus, she is a close friend of my mom’s help. (Is the connection confusing?)

Advantages:
young - so it would be easy for me to ask her to do her tasks.
cousin of help - the help will surely monitor her and make sure she does her tasks well.
friend of mom’s help - so no worries when we bring her along to my parents’ house.

Worry:
mother of two - 3 year old boy and 1 year old girl. I just hope she’s trustworthy if you know what I mean. hubby and i always leave money lying around the place. to be honest, I have one ericsson mobile phone lying around here and I have no idea where exactly for a year now. hehehe.

Oh well, wish us luck!

I know that most of my readers are wives and/or mothers, so I’d like to know your opinion on this. I know this woman who I’m not that close to but a very good person. Then, one time I saw her husband with another woman. They were dining with his arms over the other woman’s shoulder.

Should I tell her?
It might save her marriage.

Or should I just ignore it?
It might save her marriage.

Geez, got no time to blog about my bloopers on the wedding. Excuses! Hahaha. We are going to be busy today with grocery shopping and cooking for hubby’s birthday celebration. I know, I know. It was a holiday yesterday and yet we haven’t done any preparation. But it was hubby’s request. How can you refuse someone who’s celebrating this birthday?

Oh, I better list down the blackhead remover so I won’t forget to buy it this time. I’ve listed down the things we needed to buy. I just hope I don’t forget to bring the list. Teehee!

The help told me that last night, the ex-yaya called. Apparently, her brother left her with her current employer. (She left us so she could work closely with her brother. Alas, the brother left.)

It seems to me that she wanted to go back. And it was expressed to her that she will be willingly accepted back here. (Yes, expressed in way like “Di ka ba naawa sa amo mo? Di ka ba naawa kay Mikee? Ang tagal tagal mong alaga, iniwan mo. Di mo ba namimiss? Kung gusto mo bumalik, tatanggapin ka naman dito eh.“)

Actually, when I learned about it this morning, I told hubby who is reluctant to get her back. He said what she did is really annoying. Mind you, my husband is a very patient person. So it is a big deal when he thinks someone or something is annoying. I just told him that we badly need a yaya for Mikee and this one Mikee has come to like. He said he’d still think about it.

Anyway, the help asked the ex-yaya so she could fetch her in case she wanted to go back here.

Help: San ka ba?
Yaya: Pasig
Help: San sa Pasig?
Yaya: Malapit sa (QC) Circle.

Waaaah. Hopeless.

Let me just blog about this very quickly.

The yaya who left is now working as a store saleslady (or in tagalog, tindera). This I was told by the help. She and the yaya are neighbors in the province. And the yaya’s mother told the help’s mother who told the help. She is earning as much as she was earning as a yaya. This only means it wasn’t about the money. She just didn’t want to work as a yaya anymore.

As of now, the help takes care of Mikee when we are away or busy working. Actually, it’s the help who likes children. The yaya don’t. The help would take a bath and be very fresh before getting Mikee from me. So fresh you’d think she’ll go out on a date.

Note to MBAPs: it was the help who was with us on our Mcdo party.

So unlike the ex-yaya who picked her nose while taking care of Mikee. I tell her to wash her hands whenever I caught her. I’m telling you, this happened many times. But I liked her ‘coz she was hardworking. It’s just that she didn’t like kids.

Oh well, like I told her, “what comes around, goes around.”

After 3 months of working from home, I am expected at the office starting this Monday.

And tonight, the yaya left. Talk about perfect timing. She said it was an emergency but when hubby asked her what the emergency was, she can’t come up with an answer. I let her go ‘coz I was afraid that she might leave anyway when hubby and I go to our office.

Her older brother came to fetch her. I inspected her things. I was a bit shocked that her things were all packed up. She was ready! I told her to leave the yaya uniform but gave her the yaya rubber shoes.

I just told her I am letting her go because she said that it’s an emergency but if she has just got another job, she should be afraid of bad karma, ‘coz what she did was bad, leaving us hanging, without any warning.

Another challenge for our family come Monday.

I opened the refrigerator and I saw his mug full of ice at the freezer. Sigh.
I went down to brush my teeth and I saw his toothbrush. Sigh.
I couldn’t sleep last night, I could smell him on the pillows. Sigh.

This was my reason why I never allowed him to work abroad.
We got married so we could be together, then why live apart?
I don’t get it. I will never get it.

Well, just another lonely night and he’ll be back.
Sigh.

(Geez, I could imagine my mom and friends hitting me in the head “arte mo ha!” but I was teary-eyed last night when I realized that my work was done but I won’t be waiting for someone to arrive and to eat dinner with.)

Btw, he’s just on an off-site for 3D/2N.

1. Finish work. I’ve started work late today because I knew that I need to be working till tomorrow morning. Geez!
2. Rest. And feel the fresh bed sheets that have gotten cold from the “bed” weather.
3. Party. Uhm, not a drink-like-crazy party but a very conservative reunion with hubby’s relatives. Now I better think of something to wear besides shorts.
4. Scrap. Got some kits that haven’t been used. Still in need of pictures to scrap. I should go out of the house more often. Tsk, tsk. (Too bad I missed going to our team outing in Fontana today. Still not allowed to go on long drives.)

I honestly think I’ve been twittering too much. Why? ‘Coz I can’t think of anything to write today that I haven’t twitted. (Is there such a word? If you’re on twitter, you’d say yes! Hahaha)
