Lift and the Patience
Friday, July 10, 2009
Bonjour!
The days goes fast quick. It is now July 10 and in twenty days, I might not see Monaco for a while.
I have a story to tell. A coffeemate's tale.
Her employer left for St. Tropez.
St Tropez is a beach area where the rich plays golf, tennis, jet ski, horse riding,sun bathing shopping. It is a two hour and half ride from Monaco. Some would take a private plane to go there, via Mandelieu Airport.
Anyway, the building where the employer lives is a bit special. Staffs, employees do not pass by the front lift. They must use the back lift.
Okey, fine, there's segregation of the goats and the lambs, eheste,of those who" have" and those who "do not have"...
Fine. Staffs at the back, Proprietors at front.
Good enough it is not my employers building, because I will not!
I will befriend the concierge. I go to the back lift but at second floor I will take the front lift. hahaha!
Oist, wag nyo ako gayahin...
If I were her, everytime I go down with the kid to go out, I will pass by the back to be obedient, and let the 4year old kid tàke the lift at the front!
And let the mother knows about it.
Ganyan ako ka bad.
Im bad.
Today, on going summer sale 2009 all over europe(?).
Michel and I went to San Remo Italy to "look around".
Then we àte lunch in a bar.
The bill wàs not much, 25€
We wanted to pay by card.
Ngek they dont accept plastic nor checks!
I checked my wallet, I got only 7€ and Michel 15€
So we joked each other: "We can start now clearing the tables and wash the dishes!!!!"
The next table commented: We got the same problem. We are now in 20th century, unbelievable,they dont accept bank cards!!!!
The waitress said:" We cant process cards Sir, the owner threw the bank machine to the sea."
We all laughed!
Lokong waitress binuking ang amo, haha.
So Michel went out to get some cash in ATM machine.
He came back, his card was expired, lol
I gave mine,because I know it works.
Hopefully.
When he came back, he said, "due to my pride, I took some cash in the machine using my Carrefour (Grocery)Card and there"s money....Haaahh, feeling relieved..."
Lolo ayaw maghugas, haha.
We went to window shopped on more.
Pramis ,it was a window shop ...(with Benetton summer clothes in hand when we went out, lol.)
Uy, advert, 50% off sila. Sarap!
We went home at Five pm. We saw two tourist buses stucked in the road,which made the traffic heavy.
One motorbike stopped in our front and did the traffic.
A Toyota Altis ,brand new , french plate number overtook the buses.
The Italian screamed: CALME CALME!(meaning the driver must be patient, let the Buses do the maneuover...)
The Toyota Altis still pushed to overtake:
What the Italian in motorbike did?
He went off his motorbike, faced the driver in Toyota Altis, and I was shocked!
HE HELD HIS BALLS IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER and shook it hahahaha!!!
Michel was laughing saying to me:
See how an Italian and the French become passionate with one another????
I laughed, but I didnt know what it means, and I dont want to ask Michel, but do you get what the action means?

hahaha natawa ako sa lahat ng kwento mo...next time bring a lot of cash ha para ewas hugas ng pinggan:-)
Uso pa ba ang segregation?
I didn't realize that France is still a racial country? Why have a different entrances for different people?
Hay naku pinag-iinit na naman nila ang ulo ko?
(Come to think of it: kahit naman sa Pinas meron pa ring discrimination, ie mayaman versus mahirap, flawless versus maitim, amo versus katulong, may baril at wala).
Haybuhay.

its must be some uncontrolled emotion.
Wow, Ate Francesca - I'm shocked about the "different entrances" part of your story. I shouldn't be surprised because it happens too here in Montreal but not about entrances. She was working for a family well I think it was for the grandmother - they had a get together at a restaurant and they never offered the filipina any food. I told her to quit and get another job.
vetà hi, i will bring càsh but in pesos, pàrà tuloy hugàs plàto, hàhàhà!
nebz, i wàs shocked, there's segregàtion.If àko yun, i will not work there ànymore, just for thàt.
LILI, yes, it is. I wàs làughing, nàg àlà Michàel Jàckson yung itàliàn, hàhàhà
àrlynà, mustà, if im invited in restàurànt it is to eàt with the boss,not to serve them, there àre wàiters for thàt.
ànd before going there, i will àsk my position, becàuse in resto is not my lieu of duty, i work in the house.
Okey lng Boss niyà? I will wàlk out or tàke à tàble for my selff ànd let them pçy the bill; i wont mind being sàcked, lol

ànd becàuse we àre JUST Màids, they do thàt?
Leàve them, then they know whàt they àre missing.
Reàlly, we àre surrounded by idiocy.
I Cànt stànd employers like thàt. I do the work, i hàve the compàssion, but im not stupid to see how they àre.

Yung sa likod pa dadaanin, honestly matatanggap ko pa yun, as you said Euro kinikita natin. Pero it's nothing compared sa mga rich employers dun sa Pinas (hindi naman lahat siguro) yung pina susuot nang uniform habang yung amo and the maid are roaming around at the mall tapos yung maid naka uniform na all white. Yan for me is very insulting.
Excuse me don sa iba baka may nasagasaan ako pero talaga Insulting yung di lang sa persona nang mga maids pati narin sa society. Imagin e kapawa filipino nag di degrade sa isat-isa.

Dito if no credit card allowed and you don't have enough cash pretend lang puntang toilet tapos deritso labas na. :-)
I guess babae yong driver ng Toyota, nakakatawa.
