Boss

Friday, September 29, 2006
I wanted to go home quick,Madame called she is not coming home for lunch, so I made tuna and salad for her husband.
I was in a hurry, because last train for the morning is at 1:32 pm Monaco to Nice!
Next train Monaco to Nice would be at 3:25pm !!!
Thats two hours to beat staying in Monaco for nothing...
Its 12:30 pm, one hour to go, and I am still at work!

I served lunch quick to my Boss and waited 15 mins for him to finish.
No.
What he did, he eats, reads the newspaper, back to eating...feet up on the table.
Annoying isnt it? He is really taking time eh!
I was gritting my teeth, and I gave him another 15 mins more to finish his plate.
No, when I looked in the dining room, he still eats... read... eats...
#!&!^!µ!!!!
Ten minutes to go (my train will arrive), I cant stand it anymore.
I burst opened the dining room door, asked my Boss:
"Sir, are you finished?"
What he did? Guess!
He ate quick, in two minutes its done !

Olaaah, he must be afraid, he will do the dishes, haha !
I bade goodbye, he didnt answer. He's angry? Paki!
I checked the time, in 5 mins the train will arrive.
I run, walk, run to get it.I arrived just just in time.
When at the train platform, the panel said:
"retard de 20 minute environ!"Waaah!
Late daw tren twenty minutes!
I sat on the bench, panting...catching my breath!

Inis!

Appointment

Wednesday, September 27, 2006
As Michel would bring me to the Immigration office, today Sept 27,we were late. I could have drive the car myself. But Michel didnt arrange yet with the insurance to add me as the offcial driver, I have to end up, be a passenger...with out complaints! Grrr!
Late. 5 mins. At the elevator, everyone in a rush,its past 9am.Elevator open close open by employees trying to come in. Michel commented loudly, if the Immigration officer complains we were late, its because of the fault of the employees! hehe.
In the conference room, we were 12 applicants (for familial visa )The lady said,Tunisia and Morroco has different process than Phils so she finished discussing them first , then me. Michel was with me inside. He even introduced himself: Son mari. Legalement.(Her husband, legally)
Loko tong si Lolo, lakas maka asar.
So I listened and I learned something.
In Tunisia, the french embassy in Tunisia sent a letter to grant visa to the wife of the petitioner (her husband who is in France).She must come to the embassy.
The wife is not allowed to confirm ANY appointment, unless the apointment is approved by the husband.
Ngek.
So the husband has to sign papers in France, sent it by fax to the French embassy, Tunisia,approving the appointment, then the wife will go.Et oui, cest la loi la bas!(ay oo , its the law over there)
In Phils, no asking the husband! The wife goes,and thats it! haha!
Filipina wives are savages, hehe!
The lady discuss my childrens visa. She said, we approved of it, but, its now in the hands of the Consular de France in Manila. Meaning, if they still going on until Fev 2007 , let us know, we will issue you a letter of prolongation (of application of visa).
EH?
She said, its hard over there. We got a lot of Filipino applicants approved, but the embassy do not grant the visa for valid reasons.hmmm, ano kaya yon?
Anyway, she gave me the lists of "MUST BE BROUGHT" in case my kids will arrive in France.
Birth certificate, NSO latest,three copies
Petitioner (My) Birth Certificates, Three copies
School records, diplomas,certifications
Vaccination records
Contract of (work if any)
Work Permit
Driving Liscence
Judiciary cases (non obligatoire)

Within 8 days after they arrive in France, mother and children will go to Prefecture to get their three month temporary resident card.
She gave another lists of papers to furnish.
She added, they will sign papers for integration in France.
Then they will take a medical test here.Meaning, I dont pay any medical fee, no medical tests in Phils. Medical tests is done in OMI (office des migration intl) and its free.
Yehey ako don!
SSS of kids will be automatic from SSS France. But if parents are working in Monaco, Italy, there's a convention between countries to accomodate them.
So my kids will be under SSS Monaco IF I still work in Monaco.

Children will pass a test before they can be accepted in school. If your kids do not learn french yet, they have to study french, its free here. Everyday, Monday to Friday, half day only.If they learn the language already, they must present a record from the school where they learn the french language.
Then if they master the language, they pass again the tests to enter a school.The cityhall will provide which school the kids will go, the nearest to the kids residence. In our area, there are around 5 schools,just walking distance, hehe.
Ecole Maternelle: 2 years to 6years old kids
Ecole Elementaire:5levels CP CE1 CE2 CM1 CM2 (dont know this, huhu)7to 12 yo
College: 6th, 5th, 4th 3rd classes in three levels (dont know this too)13to16yo
Lycée Professionel: 2years after the 3rd class(in college)BEP or CAP
2years after BEP or CAP (the baccalauréat professionel)
I was completely off, cannot follow, she speaks french faster like TGV (bullet train)! huhu!
Then she gave her calling card in case we have more questions.
Questions:
1.A Tunisian; His livret de famille indicates his first wife. He married another one, the one coming over to France. What to do?
Answer: update your livret de famille at Mairie (cityhall), provide marriage contract
2.An Italian with dual citizenship :French. My wife will be coming over to live with me here in France.What to do?
Answer: The embassy of France in Italy will give her a long stay visa,like everyone else,just wait.
Ngek, I was calculating,Italy and France is just a border away... No plane needed to take like in Phils...She just cross over, and thats it!
Oy Pinoy ako hehe, sanay sa tnt! sssh!
The meeting last for an hour. Time to go to my next schedule. My appointment to the doctor for my hospitalisation.
More news next time...

More on annulment in Phils

Tuesday, September 26, 2006
Girls,if interested, click on the link, long page though, but if this is not your morning cup of tea...skip, hehe
annulment case" DENIED WITH FINALITY"

.
Decision yan sa case ni amy perez, a famous Philippine actress.It must be hard on her !
The PhilippineS do not have divorce laws, only annulement of marriage.Divorce is accepted in Philippine laws, if the divorce was filed by a foreign husband.
For annulment of marriage, there are grounds that can be use.Mostly, psychological incapacity of one or both spouse to hold a marriage.

Alma Moreno and her husband Mayor of Paranaque, an actor, were both declared P.I.
Mayor of Quezon City, at his 60+ age, filed for annulment of marriage too using P.I. ground.

The ground of "psychological incapacity" has deep meaning and must be convincing to the court, based on how the petition had been presented by the lawyer.One cannot use that ground just because one do not like her COOKING???!!! Or one is a drunkard, or no work. Even indfidelity alone do not falls under P.I. It has to be more than that...in Family Code of the Philippines.The link page
tells more , see the bottom part.
Here is another case:Granted then denied
.
RTC granted annulment of marriage ,but the Court of Appeals looked into it, reversed the decision .According to CA for legal seperation only lang daw ang petition, not for nullity of marriage. No bayan... Sayang time and money spent!
From the site:" At most, Fely’s abandonment, sexual infidelity, and bigamy, give respondent Crasus grounds to file for legal separation under Article 55 of the Family Code of the Philippines, but not for declaration of nullity of marriage under Article 36 of the same Code.
While this Court commiserates with respondent Crasus for being continuously shackled to what is now a hopeless and loveless marriage, this is one of those situations where neither law nor society can provide the specific answer to every individual problem".

Law sucks? Para na rin nilang sinabing, sorry, its your heart cheese mate, we cannot undone your marriage...
WHEREFORE, the Petition is GRANTED and the assailed Decision of the Court of Appeals in CA-G.R. CV No. 62539, dated 30 July 2001, affirming the Judgment of the RTC of Cebu City, Branch 22, in Civil Case No. CEB-20077, dated 30 October 1998, is REVERSED and SET ASIDE.
The marriage of respondent Crasus L. Iyoy and Fely Ada Rosal-Iyoy remains valid and subsisting.

NGEK!
Why I posted it here ba? This had been a long old topic ah..!
Today I met a filipina in the train. She proudly told me she met her bf ,a brit. She filed an annulment.Owwww, It caught my interests haha. But I didnt tell her I was a grantee.
She said, she took a lawyer, paid 130thou php, non appearance, ground used: abandonment by husband, and her children are appearing in court!!!
Ngeh, that ground is only for legal seperation and if granted, one cannot remarry. And no court in Phils allowing children (of fighting parents) to witness in the witness stand????!
Continue natin ang tsika:
Nurse in UK. Visa expired. Wants to work in France, but she failed on french language.She applied in Immigration, papers on file, visa runs out.

When at home, I told Michel.
He burst out laughing.

"I asked why? Whats funny?"

Michel answered: "Analyse it, at 51, she wants her marriage annuled. After a year knowing a Brit, after 17 years of marriage to a filipino husband, she wanted her marriage annuled. For the ground of abandonment(by husband).Husband lives in her home with children. Hahahaha!

I answered: Dont know,still, I dont get it,what's funny.She must be in love???
The more Lolo laughed...

Sunday, September 24, 2006
You will see in the slide photos, we were quiet having our brunch, with wine with out wineglass,hehe, on a Sunday ,1000 mtrs high in the mountains, an hour ride from Nice and voila,three pigs came around, oink oink to us begging for food!!!

We were surprised! One even munched my sunglass, attacked my bag with the muddy snout, Michel has to run for rescue!He said: Oh no! What do we do with them???!
Michel was checking after if there's food left! haha!

We had fun with them.They eat anything, from bread, melon, pizza, what ever. Even my foie gras de canard (duck) they didnt refuse! The owner of the pigs, we cannot find them. I suggested we took one of the pigs to sell in the market, LOL.

Eventually, when our food were finish, the three pigs went to sleep nearby. I approached one of them, scratched the back, oh dear he loved it! The other PIG got up and snout me in my Bom bom(puwet)! Gulat ako,I got dirt in my back, LOL
Everyone laughed.

See photos.



I took a photo of the nasty pigs' bottom (the one that snouted me) hehe. That teach him!!!lol

Hair color

Thursday, September 21, 2006
I saw white hair in my head. Time to have my hair done.
But not in the parlor. I do it myself.Here to go to a beauty parlor, one must get an appointment. And I dont like it. Besides,I dont trust them having my hair done, and on top I have to deal with them in french language, plus a tip. Hair cut shampoo and hair color costs me 60€ and if I do it myself,cost me 45 mins and 10€ for the product.No hard beat with french speaking,especially on that one, hehe. I go to a parlor in Philippines. Meaning once a year, haha!

Back to hair coloring.
As I was busy blogging, I realized , time runs fast, got no time. But as Michel and I had dinner invitation, I must do it.
In an hour to go to dinner!
I went to our bathroom where I put all my hair colors, grabbed one and start coloring the white hair which mostly visible on the roots.
Ah, old age coming evident... At 43, gray hair, huhhh! Hard life...
I brushed the mixture in my hair. Done in ten minutes.
I went back to my pc with the plastic turban, see how addicted I am to pc surf?
Michel all dressed, watching tv, just looked at me saying nothing.
He better be...saying nothing.Bah, its ladies' priviledges, always late to dress up.
Past 20 minutes, I stand up to have a shower.
Hair and shower were done, cleared the bathroom of my mess, and I realized, the color of the packet I used was "Copper"!
EEEEhhekkkk!
When I dried my hair, the top was golden while the bottom part of my hair was all black!
Arrrgghhh! ! ! In a hurry, I didnt noticed it when I applied. Grrrr!

Girls,I always pick black for my hair color, nothing else. Why I have this copper color at home, I have no idea! ! !
Michel was annoyed? Noooo! He was bursting laughing!He even advised, stay like that...! New fashion...
I checked the boxes in the cupboard, 3 copper and one box of black hair color. Why ,why, why???
Must be:

1. In the shop, some customers must have mixed up boxes, I took a black in front shelf, the back ones must be copper, I just grabbed five boxes with out looking.

2. I remember a lady picking copper hair color also next to me, she must have put it all in my trolley???! I'll strangle her when I meet her again...

3. I have to accept,(hardly, though) its old-age-syndrome-striking-again. Soon , I will be a real Grandma! ! !
Hard fact... For a woman...

Question:
Would you go to a party with a gold and black colored hair ?
Cool!
Think that's new fashion,original from Francesca, haha!

Who would like to have these 4 boxes of copper color? I send it to you via email...

Filipina divorcing her frenchman

Monday, September 18, 2006
I was sick.
Due to no new blogtopic posted, haha!
Three days, grabeh. I was in fever...

Eto tsika.
I met a filipina. One year marriage with a frenchman, la na, they are filing a divorce. Ngeeeh, I told this filipina. Why oh why?

She told me :
"No third party. He showed me his money, after a month we got married. After a year we got a daughter. She is his color, and blue eyes. Then I realised he is not the one I am looking for. I am thinking, I will find my soul mate soon. I left the house, I stay with a friend. For 8 months we dont have intimacy, I dont like him anymore. He is 40, I am 30.Just like that. Hope the judge will grant our divorce. We took the same lawyer so it would be easy. I will not ask for anything. I just hope, he would leave the car to me. He can keep our daughter. She is his replica anyway."
Girls, shock ako,I felt sorry for her. I just wished her the best.

Today, I met some filipinas, we were in Monaco coffee shop inside the train station . One opened the topic and voila:

Here is the version of some Pinay who knew her:

He gave her too much time and money, She splashed his money all over her family in Philippines. To mother, father, sister, brother, grandma, grandpa, auntie, uncle, cousins, second cousins, third cousins, thinking he got a lot, as he told her HE GOT A LOT !
Now they are in trouble with the bank. She divorced him so that she dont pay anything. Hopefully the car he bought for her will stay. Hopefully bank will not get it from her, its mortgaged or paid cash, I dont know...


Me: cant say a word but :Tsk tsk tsk...

Another Pinays version:
Sensya na, we are gossiping, lol!

"She spent on parties everywhere while the husband is away, he travelled a lot as he is a businessman. All Filipina guests. She showed off her apartment in Monaco, have karaoke singing , shopped, treated some friends here and there to restaurants using her GOLD visa card. When the husband learned about it, out she was in the flat..."

"I've been in her apartment. There's class, as the frenchman got money. She doesnt fit there. Poor frenchman."

"Hay, naku, she is already in a foamed bed, now she blew it, she is in "sahig"(floor)!"

"She went to Jolibee, the shop closed because she give a party for 500 persons.Only"
"She went to a parlor, she treated all her 20 relatives with free-service-all-paid HAIR BONDING, manicure, pedicure spa, massage!"

Thats the tsika girls. Imagine if ako yon, with a blond haired daughter and blue eyes, then I am taken care of properly financially, bah, thats fortune, ow!
But then, we are different:

Most ladies when married to a loaded husband would:

Keep up with the Joneses, buy me this and that, because my friend got this and that...

Blow their top to all. Buy me a house in my country, if not they will think I married a poor man.(payabang baga)

Saviour of all the "tribes" problems in her country...

Accepting all pawns and loans and "pautang naman dyan o, yaman pala nabingwit mo eh..."

When I discussed with Lolo Michel he said: Ow, she kills the Golden Goose with what she was doing, dont you think? Cant believe she doesnt have much of a brain eh?

Teka, wala naman masamang tumulong ke Mama at Papa at kuya at ate ah? Di ba?

Friends?

Friday, September 15, 2006
I watched an American film again. Boring life isnt it? Haha!
So girlish the film that I was giggling, haha!

The film talks about: during your intimacies, where do you look?
Dont ask me, I dont also. I mean,I dont know, haha!Anyway, wholesome ang Blog ko, kaya I delete the story of the film. Galet Lolo when he read it! ay,oo, meron akong Chairman Manoling as censorship, si Lolo !
Dito tayo sa wholesome (kuno)
I like to have a friend who makes me laugh and we have girlish giggles and fun. I checked a test in the net, and I find my results as:

Francesca, you should pick your Funny Friend

Seriously, there's nothing like spending time with the person who just naturally brings out your sunny, and funny, side. Who wants to be dour and sour? Your upbeat attitude and appreciation for the lighter moments in life is what seals the deal for you and the resident comedian in your life. You know who we're talking about — the friend with the one-liners, the quick wit, the insightful commentaries on life's absurdities — the friend who can make you laugh even when they're poking fun at you.
But even if they are telling a joke at your expense, you know you can count on them to keep you young at heart, laid-back, and fun-loving. When it comes down to it, would you want it to be any other way? No way!


Girls,what are you looking for a friend. Got a simple test here:
Which is harder to hear from a friend?
The truth or A lie

The best friends in life:
Keep your secrets
Bring you soup when you're sick
Give you advice
Know laughter is the best medicine
Don't keep score
Motivate you to reach your goals

Take your pick, girls.There exists companions disposed to break one another to pieces, but there exists a friend that sticking closer more than a brother...

Hi to all my blogger friends...^-^

Back to Hospital ???!

Thursday, September 14, 2006
Yes, thats the sad news, I will be operated soon!
I had this rendezvous with the doctor Sept 13,in Monaco Hospital and he checked the stone and its still there happily settling in nicely. Doctor said:" Ah, you will be hospitalized,we will operate the thing." Seems he gave the news as if its nothing, mama mia!
I asked him "Ngehh! Again?". He said: "Et oui, it doesnt want to be dissolved by the medicines, we have to open it and let it out!"
"waaah! I thought it was done..."
Michel said: "We got a problem."
"Tell me all" the doctor replied.
"Our SSS France is under process and until now we are not covered by them unless we got this SSS number. We cant be in any hospital. To get this SSS number, I have to provide them a doctor of our own, a Generalist(General Medicine Doctor) then we can have a doctor (Specialist)to consult and we can have the expenses free."
The Doctor said to Michel, "Its true that in France, you must pass a Generalist before consulting a Specialist. But for 2 euros difference of SSS France refunds, what is it?"

Michel laughed, I dont get it at first ,as they discussed too quick in french.

We passed the SSS Monaco Office at first floor of the hospital. They are installed purposedly in the hospital to accomodate SSS members for urgent needs.

The lady checked my name in the Computer. She told us, I worked less hours, so France SSS will reimbursed our expenses. Michel said, he doesnt have his France SSS number yet. The lady said, I can be hospitalized, of course, but she cannot guarrantee if I will be refunded of ALL expenses.
Then I told the lady, my employer promised to take care of everything. She pulled out a form, put the months of June July August 2006 on the blanks and told us, "go to your employer, have her signed these documents that she will pay your 120 hours minimum declared hours of these past months, then you will have refunds including when you were in hospital last August 31 to Sept 5,2006 and your future hospital exepenses."

Goodie!!!

Next, we went to the secretary of Madame, telling to please her have these papers signed by Madame, so that I can be hospitalized as soon as possible.As if we are begging, inis si Lolo!
Of course the secretaty cried: "Its not possible, the semester of paying declarations for June July August had been sent. I cant do that, with delayed payment, I will be krrek (she acts cutting her throat) to the Boss if I do that."

I told her: "I understand, but it came from SSS Monaco Office, I didnt invent that.Why not ask them first?Madame promised to declare me more hours, so why cant you do it?

Meanwhile, Madame went out from her office and upon seeing me said: "Hi, ----, how are you today???!!"
"I am okey Madame, but doctor said I must have an operation asap..."
She faced the secretary: "Joan, make sure she is covered properly..." then she went back to her clients waiting for her in the front office.

The secretary cannot say anything, haba baba, LOL
You see, thats why when praying I go direct to my God. I dont go via the saints, hehe.

Girls, I will be hospitalized again, not a problem ,they can cut my neck if they want, as long as expenses are well taken care of, and I will survive , thats all I need to know.
Meanwhile, last night I finished my work at ten pm due to serving dinner party for seven guests.I made nems(spring rolls),pizza,as aperitif,salad and smoked raw salmon and farm chicken with curry and coconut milk and rice.Vanilla icecream for dessert and some After 8 mint chocolates.

All German guests, di ko gaano maget ang tsika.

All I heard is: Nien, jah, nien, jah.

Hahahaha! Ang tawa ko sa kusina.

French health insurance

Monday, September 11, 2006
As promised, I posted here, whats up when I talked with my employer about my declaration of 20 hrs more.

I arrived, she opened the door, and said: "Helloooww,(like a cat miyawing, lol) how are you today..." then she kisssed me french kiss left and right cheek." We were standing near the entrance door.

"I am okey now Madame, they didnt operate me but they gave me medicines to continue and the stone will go out by itself when it become small.
But, I got a problem about my expenses in the hospital, I'm in trouble as Monaco SSS donot cover me with (health insurance) because I am not declared the minimum required."

"Oh", Madame said. "I will call my secretary right away..."

These were their discussions: (while haba antenna ko behind the kitchen door.)
Madame: "Joan, please check the records of (me). I would like to have her declared properly before the Govt of Monaco. Okey, call me back, I'm at home."

When the secretary called back, I heard her answering: "Then she must have more hours, Joan. Prepare the papers and I will sign it. I see you in an hour."

I ran to the kitchen to show I am busy, LOL! Eskayted!Haha

Madame went to the kitchen to discuss with me that everything will be taken care of. Her secretary ,presently asking informations at SSS Monaco office ,how I can avoid paying all my hospital bills.

And we discovered: It was Michels' fault !

When Michel retired July 2006, he must inform National Health Service of France about it. He retired from Monaco, so he is not under Monaco health service anymore. But to continue health benefits, he must go to National Health Service Office of France, submitting to them the following :

His Birth Certificate
Certificate of Retirement from Monaco
Title of Pension Certificate with his Pension Number indicated
Bank RIB
Certification of Personal Doctor chosen

If these documents will be submitted, he is covered for his health expenses, including his wife (and children if any)start July 2006!

I left her to Michel to discuss things via phone, I finished my work. Madame must be concerned that if she do not declare me properly, then I will look for another employer. And if I got two, the loyalty will be divided. As she is a business woman, she knows how to secure her interests, LOL

Later the secretary called me,it was done. We dont pay the bills. The bills that arrived at home via mail totalled 120 euros with mostly (doctor's consultation of 28.51€ (mahal!)and 5.60(eto mura na, hehe), we dont need to worry anymore.Other bills, still yet to come.The rule is, we pay first, then sent all reciepts to SSS France, SSS France will pay us back .She added, I will be declared more hours. Yupeee!

So infos girls: In France, as resident and an employee, One already have health insurances from the State, because the employer is paying for it . But if wanted to buy another one, its optional. Some does. I might get one for us(Michel, me and my two children.)

The sad thing is: Payback time !
I will be serving dinner Tuesday and Wednesday from 5pm until 11pm.

Thats Madame. She knows WHEN is the right time to ask favors from me, that I cannot refuse...

how to find work in France

Friday, September 08, 2006
I will be back to work on Monday. I will be facing my employer asking her if she can add my declared hours of 20 more.

Two possibilities:

1.She would say yes. How much is 20 hours, its peanuts to her. She already increase my salary month of August (which was a surprise!) of 50%. I recieved the check and bulletin de salaire when her secretary visited me in the Hospital.I felt better that day! ! ! LOL who would not? Aber? Money, money, money... Hehe, greed comes to the fore again. Oy, its not a crime ha, especially it was offered, LOL!

2.She would say No. For some reasons, I cant think of anything.She is loaded.

Anyway, before Monday, I always make myself ready for anything. Yes or No, I prepared plan B in case.Here they are:

1. I would put myself to HAVAS( ads)on Tuesday.
2. I would search from the internet.

Today, I found a lot in the net , mama mia, looking for employees of the house, on big villas in Cote d 'Azur, with free food and lodging ( a small studio).
I sent them my applications, with specific salary I want.If I can work to both, why not? Libre studio pa me.

If my present employer wouldnt approved of "add 20 hours", I would be taking full time work somewhere else.
Lolo does not like I work more. He reminded me, that when I worked with Butler, I was worn out.
I said, this time no, because I will not be working with someone like Butler. How would I do that? During interviews I looked around with the employer to all areas of her villa, how many people worked inside, her products, her machines . Ay oo, your Lola , girls, when taking jobs like these has been always CHOOSY, haha ! If she got an old vaccum cleaner, I would tell her to buy me a new one. With the reason that new vaccums cleans well, you save time and money... (kuno!shhh)
If Gutay-gutay ang bahay, I would say: I will refer you someone that would accept your offer...Madame.
Hehe.

I would take 150 hours only, that's my limit.
With paid vacations of course .

When I was still in the hospital, I was browsing the french magazines of the area , and it took me hours to understand the story of a filipina on the pages (due to the language LOL), I searched the internet about it. The story is about a filipina carer of Marlon Brando.

story
.

Angela Borlaza could have had a good position in Mr Brando's assets.
Ten years of service,being his mistress, she could have get more what she deserves.
Any news about her now?
Are these true?

Banking needs?

Take this bank in Philippines.

If you remember that I had a bad experience with a bank in Philippines.
I need an account because of our business , how to send money and for the internet shop sales.
I find this bank very serious in their services.
I told my daughter to open an account.
Voila !
She can pay bills like Meralco, Pldt, skycable etc etc via online without them wasting time and fare in long queues.
She can have access anytime to the account status.
She will have monthly statements sent to her address.
She can use the card abroad.
They tell the clients what are their tarrifs for the services they do.
Not too bad, as long as she doesnt fall into penalties.
Just like the services of our bank here in France.
I dont have profits in putting ads for this bank, but ... why not share about it?
Good thing is : Free annual fee for Classic account. Good eh?
bank
.

Inquire for your family in Philippines. You know how the account transactions moves even away from home.In case you spot a loophole, please share. Thanks !

Meanwhile, France vs Italy football tonight, France scored 2 goals,Italy 1, just 20 mins after the game starts!
Seems it will be a HOT game after the world cup!
Close ko muna pc, pwesto na ! ! ! LOL

News in France TV

Monday, September 04, 2006
I watched the tv . News time at 8pm. Mr Sarcozy
being interviewed is a French Presidential Candidate for 2007. He is at present the Interior Minister of France.
What interested me was his views of the problem in France.
He solved the problems of no work for the young. Remember the issue of house and car burnings in Paris last Oct 2005?
He mentioned he will create a "service civique obligatoire" for the school children.Meaning they will be graded in Good Manners and Right Conduct, and if they fail, they cannot graduate or go to next year's enrolement.
Hehe, better no?
I asked Michel, "why , wasnt it implemented before?" Michel said, "before, it was, then they took it off to show they are modern, now they put it back again..."

Then the issue of Pacs.

PACS is a contract concluded of two persons of legal age between same or different sex to organize/legalize their communal life.It does not confere to adopt a child together and if one live with a partner of the same sex,must not resort to any assisted medical procreation.

The tv host ask Sarcozy his views of the matter.

He said, it is a delicate matter to discuss. But there will be changes on the law of Pacs. He assured the public he still do not approved of those under Pacs contrats to adopt a child. He considered for them having children BUT THIER OWN ,must be from a mother and a father but not from the same sex.

I agree. Modern views is good, but must have its limits. Ow!

My video clips


Because, Since 7days the médicine they gave me to get rid of the stone in my saliva glands didnt want to disappear, still there and now it was gonfle( gets bigger) and it gives me inflamation and fever! This is the cause of not drinking enough water, the doctor said. A cristal formed and blocked my saliva to wet my mouth.
I remembered I didnt drink much water when in Philippines because I prefered to drink young coconut ( buko) juice!
Voila, I got Bukol (stones) Hahaha!

So, the doctor déclared with pride, waaah, I will be hospitalized, three nights, Under go dextroses of anti biotics, for the fever, for the inflammation, three bags every four hours before opération ! My "penalties" for not drinking water needed by our body ! ! ! Then they will slaughter my glands in the mouth to take the stone off. Not too big, just a size of one euro/ peso coin or marbles(holen) this cul prit .

Girls,careful too, drink 8 glasses a day, or if bottled mineral water two liters a day, at least. Even you have to run to the toilet every minute.
Water is good for the body, it cleans, hydrate and slimming agent as it cleans our fats!Please do it because, I didnt!


I was with Michel, during the consultation we were asked of our papers before checking in.
Michel retired from work a month ago, I am NOT covered anymorefor free expenses in my stay at the hospital.
I work only few hours with my present employer, I am NOT covered also.
When I was working with Butler,I was covered by Monaco SSS, as I am déclared more hours ! They will cover 80% medical expenses of a member IF having a minimum 120 hours work per month.I work 20 hours less! Di umabot!

Michel still file my employers name in the dossier. They must have called her because Madame called me at the hospital. I told her my trouble, she said, dont worry, I will help you with the expenses . Ah, she is kind, she 's worth keeping as a Boss.
When Michel arrived in the room (after he signed checkin papers for my room,) he said, "Monaco SSS dont cover your stay but they told me SSS National Health Service de France would help us with the expenses.Et oui, madame, I m french, we are married, they should help!"
Yeheeey, I was glad!
Michel said: I dont know how much they would give, as it is expensive in Monaco, dépends on where you are, a night stay here reach 700 euros per night!

WAAAAH, I cried!

The nurse who at that time was inserting (with pleasure of course) needles of dextroses to my vein, thought she caused me the pain !
I answered Nooo, its the price in staying here, huhuhuhu!
NAMAN KASI, Timing ang daldal ni Michel !!

Here the food is excellent BUT moderate. Potato puree,chicken grilled, a sliced of ham, salad, bread, cheese, yogurt! Michel asked if there’s wine or champagne! Hahaha! The server ,a black lady, just laugh. I didnt finish it tho, as I cant chew much, my jaws hurts Michel finish all!
After my dîner the lady collected my tray she ask me if the menus are ok for me for tom:
Lamb ,in spécial sauce boiled potato and string beans, flat ones. Flavored lemon cheese ,bread compote (fruit puree)
For dîner mushrooms and eggs in pancake and fruit as dessert. Thats all.


Michel said: Weeewh, like in Hotel de Paris, ow!
Sagot ko:
Ngeeh, no heavy dîner ! ! ! . Me, big eater, hehehe!

I told Michel to bring me some magazines to read. My ever loving husband sneaked in my laptop, there's wifi here ! YEHEY , Hehe! He even brought my night cream and some favorite biscuits ,pc gadgets, socks, my mirror and tyani(eyebrowplucker), LOL He said it will keep me occupied while he is away from 8:30 Pm, hehehe
