Guess what!
Your hero, Monsieur Butler called me!
He is still alive????!My phone rings...
Butler: PANGET, how are yooou?
( "panget" means ugly , is his way of saying, Hi dear...)Me: Oh hi, how are youooo...? (
greeting him sweetly, but fake lol)
Butler: "Panget, I am in trouble."
"Whats up? How many Thais did you con this time?"
"No, I need help, the lady that replaced you left us ! I am doing her work and its crazy. Do you know someone to replace her? The Boss would like a Filipina if possible...
girls, yabang lang, ako unang filipina ke Boss, aba, na demat!(nasanay!)"Hmmmnn, I will see."..
isip ako kunwari, but i was celebrating: beeeh buti nga...!"Are you free, maybe you can take your work back, I would be happy, you know.I can ask the Boss..."
"Of course I am free, I am not working in the morning, besides, who needs money these days..!"
"You never work with someone after you left the Boss?"
"No."
"Then you can work with me here. I'll tell the Boss... He would be happy, Madame too. They never happy with the Italian girl, she was sooo dumb dumb..."
"Hmmmn, why not?" They just double my salary..."
sige ,sige daw, ang loko, tinotoo ang sinabi ko!Yun na, out of connection na kami ni Butler. Di ko pinansin yung call na yun, kasi I am alright na sa work ko in the afternoon.I even discussed with Michel about it and I was 100% sure:
No, I am not taking it, not with Butler, that crawler...Today,my cellphone rang, and Madame (of Butler )speaks to me in french , she do not speak english kasi.
"Hi, Amy, how are you..."
"Hi, Madame,
boses hapilly surprised kuno ako ,its a pleasure to hear from you...how are you? (in french ko siya sinagot)
"I am sick,Amy, I got "rhume" and I am in Torino(Italy) at the moment, I am not in Monaco and the weather here is terrible (awful)
paawa effect boses niya...hmmm, duda ako agad, me kelangannnn!So kunwari, very concern naman ako in answering: "Aw Madame, its the season, be very careful, did you visit your doctor?"
"Yes, I did, thank you . Listen, Butler called me he met you and he said, I can asked you to come back, you might be interested ? You see, you know already to organise the apartment, the work,you met my dog,it would be nice to work with Butler,
WHAT? and my husband is nice,
Ah that... I cant complain...and you are nice, always smiling...
Oh yeah, anything else, noh!I would love to have you back again to us..."
Patay!"Hmmm, Madame, I would love to, but..."
"You see, when you left us,
deretso daldal,mama mia, eskayted ata? my apartment become disorganise. The new lady doesnt know how to work. I tell you, if Butler make problems to you, you tell me and we can handle that, with out you leaving us..."
Teka, eto ba may sakit? Kadal dal naman ah!"Eh, Madame, with Butler, we always tease each other, because of my french language ...But he is nice..."
bwarrkkk!"Listen, I would call my husband, I will call you again when to start , Ok?"
Ngeeh, did I said yes to her? Nabasa nyo ba girls, na nag say yes ako sa work offer? Wala ah...iscroll up nyo pa ang page, wala ako nasabing yes sa kanya! grrr!And she hung up after saying:" Say hello to your husband from us, I will call you again on Monday, bye, bon weekend..."
"Au revoir"...
Yun na lang nasabi ko, wala na pala siya sa phone. Tagal ko hawak phone sa tenga ko, tulala ako! Nobayon? Ka kashock naman yun? Imagine:
BABALIKAN KO SI BUTLER?
May part two kami, Book Two kumbaga!
Abangan nyo ba?I promise to be submissive, but it would be VERY hard !
eto pala samples ng "fights" namin ni butler:from my 2005 ARCHIVES, tatlo lang eto from the many files ng history namin ni butler.
1.Butler taka! hehe
Akala ni Butler matakot niya ako!Pag dating ko sa work, pakita ko nga sa kanya, beso beso ko si Madame!Iba na ang may charms, and using it.Of course, sa Madame, may sermon pa rin ako, normal.Pero hindi talak!Nakikiusap ang tono.After two hours ko na work, cherie na ang tawag ni Madame.Punta raw siya sa eglise (church) babalik siya agad.Then nang bumalik, nag bihis, pasara raw ng zipper nag damit niya.O di ba vibes kami.Punta raw siya Vintimille, Italy, (20 mins ang layo from Monaco)Au revoir, au demain na raw!Bye, see you tom.O saan yong boldjak daw ako?Tanong ko kay Butler.Sagot niya: Pero galit kahapon yon sa iyo!Sagot ko: Bakit ngayon hindi!Then sabi ni Butler: Kung gusto mo, pakilala kita sa dating Portuguese dito, para alam mo ang tips sa work dito!Umasa boses ko: Lokong ito, akala niya hindi ako quality worker!
Sigaw ko: What for?You are the one complaining my work, not them, why I bother to get tips from her!Bano talaga, insultuhin pa ako!At the end sabi ko kay Butler:If they dont like my work, they have had said to terminate me long time ago.But no. I am still here, counting my euros!But if they want to, just they say so ha.They are not the only rich in Monaco.Kataray ng lola nyo.hi hi hi
2.Butler, nang aasarKung tahimik ako nag wowork, si Butler, nag worry.Baka raw galit ako.So lapit siya, ask.Sabi ko,
gerr off!Got lots of things to do.Pero ang totoo, inis ako sa kanya.Feeling kasi Boss siya to tell me what to do.Ano siya, bali?Ito ang mga utos niya na ayaw ko sundin.Yon daw doormat, vaccum ko na man daw, konting daan lang ng vaccum, very easy.Sagot ko: Very easy? Then do it!Loko siya, outside ng bahay yon, toka niya yon ha, di akin!Yon daw kamay ko bumabakat daw sa silvers pag hawak ko kung linisin ko ang sala.Kakalinis lang daw niya.Hindi ako sumasagot.Pag kinulit ako, sisigawan ko: okey okey!anything else?Pero ano ka, hindi ko nililinis uli ang silver.Wala ako time, at lagi I plan to put cotton gloves, but I forgot.Yong pantalon daw niya puro puti ng sinulid. Maari daw hwag isabay sa puting mga damit.Sagot ko: ikaw na mag laba. Mahaba oras mo rito.(Pano hindi puputi, sabay ko pa rin sa mga puting basahan ko paglaba, hehehe)So na fed up sa akin, nag buga ng hinanakit!Bakit daw ako ganon sa kanya.Teamwork daw kami dapat.We daw, not I or You!
Aba, ang hitad, akala mo politiko.Sinagot ko nga:Look, kung teamwork tayo, and I do your work,payag ako basta half of your salary , akin...
Thats how I view teamwork. (sabay taas kilay ko!)lol
3.DEAD INSECTS
Today is working day for your Lola.Happy days are gone.My vaccum cleaner must have missed me.(ngeeeeh?)At 845 am, I called Butler in his house number.He must put off the alarm of the house, so that if I use the key to get in no wang wang and no Police Monaco to arrive and apprehend me.Yes, my employers' house if they are away has security alarms.If there's a break in, in 30 seconds, and no code punched, the siren will alarm the Monaco Security Office, and If I dont give them the code the Boss provided, I find myself in jail until they claim me.So I am annoyed, because Butler said , he didnt
put off the alarm yet, I have to wait for him, he is still at home! 9:15 he arrived.When I got inside the house: what a catastrophe!Lots of dead Cockroach, some are still gasping.I asked him, why these dead insects here?He said, two weeks ago (while I m having good life in UK) the insects terminators arrived and spray the whole house.
No wonder.The house stinks of humidity and dead insects! Grrrr.And Butler didnt buy me my alcohol lemon scent to clean the marble floors!Then the drying machine is not working anymore. Smells of burnt tissue.I started to put it on, the whole house electricity blackened out.And Butler left me, dont know where he went.I called his mobile phone, it was off.
Fantastic.I called his studio, no answer.After an hour he arrived.Asked him whats up with his mobile phone.He said he left it at home.
I wanted to kill him, I am losing a lot of hours,doing nothing, I cant work with all this trouble.And the Boss and Madame are coming in two days.I told him:"I need stuffs for cleaning and washing up. I dont have any to use."He said, "he cant buy them today. He have to shop when the Boss arrived as he will buy them vegetables and fruits."
I got heated up! I have to wait two days before I get the cleaning stuffs!I told him, I go home
."(Whats the use of me coming over and I dont have things to use for my cleaning?)I went straight to my locker, grab my bag and say "Ciao"! Huh!
He said, okey, okey, wait, I go now."
Ah good! And buy me three bottles of each. Its not your money, why do you tighten the budget, when I am using them all anyway.I'm not bringing it at home!"When he arrived after ten minutes, he said, I didnt buy, I just get these from the neighbor.(My fingers are ready for his neck!) Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!Thats what I dont like when working with someone, with different way of thinking on how the work can be easier.I like to work with everything I need.If my rags are old, I throw it in the bin, he would pick it up and tell me, "still good this one!"Butler...
asar na ako ,We have a millionaire Boss, what are you doing?He would buy me cleaning stuffs, one bottle only each go at grocery, and if I dont have anything to use, we quarrel.I like to work
with all, take note,
all things I need at hand.We are in France. And sari sari store is not next door like in Philippines If I need anything.I got to use what he provide, other wise, I will be full up of work the next day.I clean the apartment sulking!
At 5pm, he checked the house, to put the alarm back.He called me: Where did you put the dead cockroaches?
I said: I put it in a bag, put a ribbon and a card, and will sent it to you via registered mail.Okey to you?"
Can you imagine girls, he called from the Boss home telephone, calling me during my afternoon work, to ask me: "where are the dead Cockroaches? Can he makes other excuses for calling, than those?Eeeeeekkk!"Im beginning to see, Butler fancies me.What a misfortune.
Ayan, as per request ng mga readers ko,thats the "love story " between me and Butler... Marami pa yan, nasa 2005 to Feb 2006 archives. Now that I will be back,mukhang may part two ang away namin, lol!
abangan...
Teka,bakit ako nag resign non? Cant stand him.
But now , I will, kelangan ko datung, and sayang oras ko, cant refuse "delicious and malutong "na euros eh. Ganda pa oras ko, full declare.If this work is a blessing or a curse, well see. I will keep you all posted, as usual...
