Pinay maids, nakakahiyang profession daw?

Thursday, November 13, 2008
Hahaha!

I received a nasty comment about being a Pinay maid. I should have let it go. But, seems someone wanted to show that she is (in her own opinion as her usual lame excuses)have a better position than having a profession as House Employee. She wrote:

"bakit ganun ang mukha ng daughter mo? parang wrestler at kumakain ng manok na hilaw? sorry ha, pero just an honest observation."

Understandable...On second thought,
I answered:
inggit ka lang. Six figures salary ka rin ba gaya niya? In pesos na lang...

She replied:
ganun na ba ang batayan ngayon? six figures salary? how sad. but anyway, if you need to know, i earn P145K / month here in the philippines from one of my income sources. i don't need to go abroad and be a domestic helper to earn that much. so yeah, you earn that much, i also know that cost of living there is high too. i've traveled abroad if you must know. and i didn't need a french spouse to do so. do you know how much my parents earn? maglalaway ka lang. but i dont go around discussing it like you do. how classless.

Me:

i wish you the best. I dont know you, im sure you are good on what you are doing.
I just dont like you calling my daughter a wrestler, thats inviting for trouble.
you know, mothersssss...
Pinakapanget man ang anak sa mata ng iba, sa ina, they are the best.
And being a maid, sure it is not a glorious position.
But I dont work for glory, I work for good money.Masarap maging maid sa Monaco kesa mag office work (sa Monaco), I tell you...


Her:"

i dont work in an office francesca. i manage multiple businesses. also, i think filipino talent is wasted on working at monaco homes - but if that's your only capability and you are happy with that - it's fine. for me, i'd rather employ people than be employed as a maid. iyun naman ang preference ko.

and, if you or your daughter have some extra euros, it would help to spend some of it to try and improve your appearances. baka maging mas marketable pa kayo than you are right now. kung mataas na sweldo hangad niyo, maganda rin na investment iyon. again, its just my opinion. its up to you.

Me: monaco homes ba? i forgive you because you dont know what is a maid's life in Monaco Montecarlo.
im in manila at the moment, soon my apointments are done, i will blog about being a maid in Monaco.

SANS glamour, of course.
wait ha?


Her:
"glamour? i'm sure its glamorous for you to work as a maid - wearing a maid's uniform, cleaning toilets, riding in your amo's limo, doing their personal chores, feeling mo mayaman ka rin dahil mayaman ang amo mo --- maybe compared to how you grew up in the philippines, that's glamorous for you. so, it's not a problem. that's your opinion, and i respect that.

however, i'm just happy that our family can book long flights together, and we travel business class. have you been to cancun? zurich? st. petersburg? you should also try those places. you'll realize na pang-masa ang marbella.

if you're in manila, try to hook up with some fashion consultants. your make-up is a bit loud for your age. also, tell your daughter to use some lightening cream. france should have a lot of good brands. i have a favorite boutique in paris if you want to go there.

me:( Bah bah bah.... feeling, I am better than thou and know what is best... siya.Hahahaha.Marghie is naturally Tanned,kinaiinggitang kulay sa Europe and she dont need a lightening cream...
And girls,I would like to rant on more...
Until someone shut her up...)

Hi, Sana ay hindi mo maliitin ang mga maids na katulad namin. Marami sa amin ang nag-sacrifice na mahiwalay sa aming pamilya para kumita. Alam mo naman sa bansa natin, kahit college graduate ay hindi sigurado ang trabaho. Masaya rin ang maging maid dahil nadadala kami ng amo namin kung saan-saan. Nakapunta rin ako ng Marbella, Barcelona, at Pamplona. Magaganda ang lugar na iyon at higit sa lahat, libre ang bakasyon. Gusto ng mga Pranses ang mga Pinay maids dahil masisipag kami at malilinis magtrabaho. Minsan nga, merong mga Pranses na pinapakasalan ang mga maid na Pinay dahil sa aming mga katangian. Tao rin kami pero kahit hindi ganun kaganda ang tingin ng iba sa aming trabaho, ito ay isang mahusay at makabuluhang trabaho.

Maraming Salamat,
Jane



Me:Jane
She must be a graduate of great great schools of Harvard, Cambridge or Oxford...
Another intellectual...
Dumugo ilong ko..! hahahaha.

sabi ni Lolo: those saying things like that should consult a head shrinker (a psychatrist).
sabi ni Lorraine: does she wants to make money out of you, mama? Suggest pa siya ng beauty Consultant,she should check her kilikili first, then we see after...

Girls,with that, Im having a greater holiday...lol

i don't think your daughter is naturally tanned - she's just dark. also, the dark kind na maduming tingnan. if you see some aetas, malinis ang pakaitim nila.

iyung title ng post na ito, where did it come from? saan sinabi noong poster na ito ay nakakahiyang profession? are you getting it right?

pero tama ka. medyo nakaka-nosebleed itong blog mo.
jane, i don't have anything against maids. i have a lot of things against people who can't take suggestions. if you don't like a suggestion, its fine. you dont have to fight back with your life to defend it. (or write a blog post, hehehe)

tingnan mo itong si francesca, nag-observe ako na maitim ang anak niya, nag-respond siya about salary. duh-uh! (pakipulot po ang IQ mo.)

anyway, she does look really old for her age. and she wears loud make-up. how old is she? 50-something? she looks sixty-ish... but again, you know, its just my opinyon. if she's comfortable with her hitsura, then that's fine. end of conversation.
Her parents may have money and she may be earning a decent salary - but apparently money does not equate to good breeding...
hi anonymous 5:20 pm? sino ang walang breeding? si francesca or iyung poster? i think both have no class or breeding. talking about money in a topic that has nothing to do with money. pantay lang.

francesca, just a friendly advise. just because you earn 6 figures in pesoses doesnt mean anything. and i think you should not put office people down. i have a friend in monace, she is a banker and works at an office - she is earning $10K euros/month as base salary. her bonuses can easily be double her base salary. do the math.

hindi lang mag-maid ang magandang trabaho sa monaco, even for pinays. pleassssssssssseeeeeeeee!

I can't help but to feel sorry for that mata-pobre. You may be well off but seems to me that you are a very unhappy person, bitter and perhaps no life. Isa ka sa karamihang mga pilipino na masapawan lang ng kaunti ay ngitngit na. I pity you talaga. Siguro mukha kang mongoloid na nakalunok ng placenta. Sana humaba pa ang buhay mo dahil marami ka pang mga kakaingitan sa mundo. Ingat ka miserabling tonta.

Yours Truly,
Si Ganda.

P.s.
measurement ko 36C-24-36 - OH ingit ka? real yan ha. baka ikaw hangang training bra ka lang at baka mas maganda pa ang puwet na may kurikong kesa mukha mong mongoloid. *faints*
The detractor has a trait similar to a passive-aggressive personality disorder so just ignore them; they attempt to sound sweet and helpful and yet you know they are being malicious and intentionally hurtful.

True rich (and old money) individuals have no need to put other people down in order to make themselves feel better.

So long as we do honest work and are a productive member of society - does it matter what the color of our skin is? Or if we are considered pretty or not?

As you will see in the IP address that Jane was not this Jane. Take care and enjoy your stay in Manila.
alam ko kung nasaan ang harvard at oxford - sa cubao! hahahaha. isama mo pa ang stanford, nasa cubao rin.

francesca, nasan ang pagsabi na nakakahiya ang maids bilang profession? wala naman yata.

anyway, itaguyod natin ang bandila ng mga tsimay. malay natin at may makuhang frenchman along the way. francesca, idol talaga kita! hahahaha!

Hi ms. francesca,
regular reader ako ng blog mo and I enjoy it very much. Anyway, sorry but I really cant help not to react with this lady you were talking about. Kahit na ba kasing ganda at kasing kinis sya ng mga artista wala sya karapatan mamintas sa itsura ng sinu man. She is claiming that her family is well off and she earns big bucks bakit kaya hindi nya gamitin yung pera nya sa pang enroll on proper manners para naman mag ka ¨class¨ sya.

For sure inggit lang po yan sa inyo lalo na kay Mhargie. Papansin lang po yan sa inyo.

Take care!
ows? who said that?
kaloka naman mga comments here...

Miss France, just take care of yourself, ok. God bless..

Comment ko sa iyo
Hwag kang manglait ha, kasi walang kang K. Bruha ka!
Nikolai,
Are you mental? You're making it appear that your so-called suggestion is done out of goodwill and she took it the wrong way? If someone told you that your kid looks like a wrestler na kumakain ng hilaw na manok, would you thank that person? You're at an advantage here because you're interacting anonymously, sige nga post your picture somewhere on the web and let strangers judge your looks. Don't worry whatever demeaning things we'll say about your appearance will only be done out of goodwill. And your so-called travels all over the world, sige nga post pictures para naman me ebidensya sa kayamanan mo. Because in my opinion, you're full of crap. But then again, that's just my opinion. If you're comfortable bragging about your business class travels kuno, then that's fine. End of conversation.
jealousy is rotten to the bones...
Hi Ate Amy. Hope your vacation is not ruined. Take care!
Naku Amy ang tiaga mo naman! quite ka nalang kasi.Sabi ko sayo mag paid posts ka na kasi I'm sure ang taas ng traffic mo. Ay di mo na pala maaasikaso yan sa dami ng ginagawa mo at dami ng pera mo, hahaha....pautang naman!
Amy this is getting nowhere...wag mo na pansinin. Kung mayaman sya, let her be and good for her. Kung pinipintasan nya si Mhargie kaligayahan nya yan eh, give her that. Ikaw talaga ang target nyan. She does not know you that's why she is able to speak like that. Kami nalang mga true friends mo ang pag abalahan mo. See you Tuesday, ok?
kasi nmn kung tlgang totoo na malaki ang sweldo ng anak mo francesca ano naman yung mgayos sya ng konti. ang itim nya talga. at ikaw mgpowder ka naman. everytime makikita ko picture mo sa blog mo parang pwede ng mgprito ng itlog sa mukha mo grabeng oily!
There is nothing wrong being a maid, that is a decent profession. Naiinggit lang yan.

To your daughter, there is nothing wrong with the way she looks or her color, she is lovely. So just ignore comments like these and get on with your life as there is more to it.
girls, oks lang me, sanay na. laking training ko ba naman sa igorot issue at sa uk miss phil scam.oks naman life, so far.

Marie,about pay per post, problem ko, eh no time, even i like the money in there.sige kita tau sa clawsdaddy.

about marghie, my daugther, i asked her opinions, she said: i believe in my self that I was created beautifully, why would i make pansin sa mga nag papapansin...marami pang mas maitim sa akin sa France...

Being black is beautiful, napagkamalan pa nga akong si Ms Hudson sa Sex and the City eh... hehehehe.

Yan ang natural confidence...

Girls,my face is oily, true. i dont like face powder, sa init ng pinas, mag kaka pancake lang face ko, and if sa France naman, its a waste of money and time.Im naturally beautiful na,(wink) why hide it with cosmetics...

Remember girls, we are all different.I cant be like everyone does.what suits to some doesnt suits my standard.
Besides, beauty is in the heart.
The condition of our hearts(which is calm and mild)reflects how we conduct ourselves with others.
its her face, her life, just deal with it...take or leave.
Madam Francesca, naiintindihan ko ang nararamdaman mo. Bilang ina, masakit at below the belt na talaga kapag pati ang mga anak natin eh idinadamay na. Grabe naman ang iba dyan.
Gulat naman ako sa issue na ito...kaya no comment nalang po...enjoy your vacation!!-Mikkie-
eto lang po observation ko when i flew to and back home from europe (amsterdam was my transit point). minsan nakakaawang nakakainis ang ibang mga pinoy, ewan ko ba ano mararamdaman ko. for example:

1.one middle-aged pinay, kulang na lang iwagayway passport niya to show she was a german citizen. sobrang makidaldalan dun sa katabi nya na foreigner, sa stewardess, to everyone who cared to listen to her. couldn't she tell everyone was just being polite and at a certain point she needed to shut up and not provide too much information? airports after all are very impersonal places. the worst I thought was when she asked me to configure her entertainment screen to display the german version of the movies she wanted to watch, with English subtitle daw. Naloka ako don! Pahirapan ba sarili nya? Or if she was just trying to practice her German, maniniwala na sana ako, kaso ang ingay nya ha as if she really wanted to announce her German connection. I thought she was tacky.
2. there was this pinay, ang ganda pa namang pinay. Obviously she has lived away from the Philippines for quite some time. she asked which part of PI I come from. I told her where, when it was my turn to ask, sabi nya taga-Norway daw siya. Sabi ko, ha? Ba’t ang galling mo mag-bisaya? She wasn’t even aware she was conversing with me in Visayan, taka nga ako how she knew I spoke the language (tagalog po kami but I grew up in Mindanao, so I am conversant in both languages). “Ay, taga-Leyte gyud ko sa tinuod, pero 12 years na ko sa Norway”. OA, di ba? Just because you are already a citizen of another country, it doesn’t mean you can not qualify questions pertaining to your origin. Lalo na if you have spent more time in your own native country than in your adopted country.
3. sa duty free shop may isang pinay, tinanong ako, “ano na ba sinisigrilyo ng mga tao ngayon dito? As in, “mga tao” ha? Sabi ko, ilang taong na po ba kayong di nakakauwi? 5 years na daw. San po kayo galling? Sa London daw. San pa ho uwi nyo? Sa Bacolod daw. Eh, it hasn’t exactly been that long ago di ba? At saka wala bang internet sa London o sa Bacolod? Wala ba siyang communication sa family and friends nya? Ewan ko lang, baka naman ako ang OA umunuwa.
4. and the worst: dahil nga pauwi ng ‘pinas, halos lahat ng pasahero pinoy. Pagdating sa Manila, daig pa ang SM cinema sa dumi ng cabin. Puro basura sa floor. Assuming that most OFWs are in the domestic industry, bakit naman ganon kadumi tayo? Ang feeling ko tuloy ang sama ng tingin ng cabin crew sa atin. Eh, they collect naman the wastes within the 13-hour travel. Nakakahiya naman yata yun.

Sari-sari talaga tayong mga Pinoy!

double posts, haha.

Napansin ko rin yang ganyang sitwasyon.

Nice France to Dubai, ang linis ng emirates plane. parang five star.Bango bango.economy class lang yun ha.

Dubai to Manila
Amoy panghi ng plane upon enter. And ang kakalat ng iba, mga headset nila, takip ng ice cream cup, newspapers. then yung toilet ng plane, iiwanan nila na madumi, mano man lang punasan ng tissue paper provided by the plane ,ang lababo, toilet seats after use...

hindi eh,iiwanan nila sa susunod na gagamit ang karumihan nila.
And some are even proud of it.
as if: ayan, kainin mo dumi ko...

Babs!
minsan ina-analyze ko, hindi kaya they are thinking, "i'm always cleaning up after you, now it's your turn to clean up after me."
pero wala naman akong experience with households in other countries who can afford domestic staff, to draw that conclusion.

siguro dapat kasama yan sa orientation ng POEA, nakakahiya talaga kasi. masagwa.

may experience din ako while on board may pinay ang lamog! yong anak nya ang panghi, tapos uncomfortable yong bata kasi siguro hindi siya malinis, kaya umiiyak palagi. or may sakit. sumuka na tumae pa. pero ang general impression ko di talaga malinis yong nanay, kasi siya mismo looks unkept. tapos lakad ng lakad sa eroplano, chika ng chika. hay ang amoy sa cabin, terrible! i could barely held my tongue to tell her off. tapos ininterview pa ako, ano raw trabaho ko, purpose of travel, etc etc. di na lang asikasuhin anak niya.

andami ko pa talaga pinoy horror stories on board, minsan it isn't funny!
domestic staff din siya, according to her. am surprised nga she is still coming back, kasi bakasyon lang daw siya, ihahatid nya lang daw anak niya.

Ako din, may na experience sa airplane, katabi ko, hilik ng hilik, tulo laway pa, yaiks...

eh eating time na, nag ask ako ng other seats, buti, meron.

hindi lahat ganun, pero kung may sampung balahura sa loob ng airplane, then pinoy, yung mga puti, sasabihin, ganun na ang 400pinoys inside the plane.

generalisation agad.
but then, tiis, kasi nga ganun, wala ako sa first class seats.

para kay shutup francesca, na "pinakamatapang" sa lahat:

inday, todo inis mo sa akin, deal with it...kaya mo pa?
That girl is not classy as she claims to be--she criticized you & your daughter way too much. Why can't she just focus on the good side--that there are Pinays doing well in other countries. A true classy person doesn't need to brag about what they do for a living, if they fly by private jet (business class lang pala sya eh--kami private jet, hahaha, patulan ba)...and talagang Pinoy nga sya--marami sa atin, masyado matapobre, masyado pintasera. Kung di ka maputi, di ka maganda. Amazing ignorance!

I admire your guts & abilidad sa buhay. Don't listen or even pay attention to people like her.

Your fan (greymom)
all the people here are all idiots specially the poster if you had the"breeding"talking about your money in philippines, the rich one does not talk this way.....tska porket ba mayaman ka at may pambili ka na chingchangtzu for your face manlalait ka na ng itim?I think shes much prettier than you!look at your face namumuti na sa mena...im sure mayaman ka man kilikili mo pinagpapawisan din oy!

----La Traición----
Katulong ang nanay ko sa ibang bansa at hindi ko siya ikinahihiya kasi pinakakain at pinag-aral n'ya ako sa pagiging katulong n'ya.
too much bitchiness around here. grabe.
