working in Italy

Saturday, January 22, 2011
Bonjour!

Monday, driver gave me the "good news".
Good news sa kanya, bad news sa akin.

Sabi daw ng GF ni Sir, linisin at organise namin ang apartment nila sa San Remo, Italy.

I refused!!!

Kasi, wala ako permit to work in Italy. My permit to work is in Monaco.My SSS is in Monaco.
Monaco is not France, nor Italy.
So bawal ako mag work sa Italy.
If I get an accident, or fall out of a stair,in ITALY, my insurance will not cover me.

Nagagalit si Driver. Hindi naman daw hard work yun, i look after lang little details. Sasama pa nga ang gardener.

I said no, pa rin.

Nag dare si Driver, baka matanggal daw ako if I refuse.May pahabol pa, ayaw daw niya na ininfluence niya ako, pero I should consider daw.

HA HA!

Sagot ko:
Look,Driver, I appreciate their trust to me about that work, but...
If they sack me for refusing , I will see the Inspection Labor Office of Monaco, what they say about it.
If they still sack me, they must pay indemnities, then Im out of work , take an allowance from SSS (which is 75% of my monthly salary) and I will go have holidays in Thailand!

Hirit ni Driver:"But you are french, you can work in Italy without getting caught by immigration???!!!"

"Yes, driver, but No, I dont want to work there. It is out of my duty , out of my responsibility, out of my contract, out of my insurance, IF I WORK THERE!!!!(sinigawan ko na , ang kulet kasi!)

Sumingit si Secretary: "She is right, what happened to her there, she is not covered. Even to drive over there, it is two hours, she is not covered for any accident in the road."

Umalis na nag mamaktol si Driver.

You see, pumapapel si Driver, eh di siya uubra, haha.
Two girls against him, united, lol.

That day, when I went to buy some food for the fridge, I cannot find him, so I paid the gtrocery of my own money and I gave to him the reciepts for refunds.
What he did, he checked one by one, ONE BY ONE!!!! all the items, if Im really honest on the reciepts!!!!!!

Oyyyyy, Driver, natempt na ako ng 15,0000 (Imillion pesos)euros na naiwan sa akin ng makakalimuting last employer ko, hindi ko ginalaw, yun pa kayang barya baryang grocery????!!!!Ano akala niya, bibili ako lipstick at ipa refund sa kanya, lol!

(Mind you, baka gawain niya, bili siya ,chocolates, isama sa bills of grocery, haha)

So after ma check up ang resibo, binayaran ako.
Napahiya, he found me honest, nag refund!

Sinabi niya na baka gusto ko raw i refund yung nabili niyang kurtina for the house, kasi ayaw ni Madame ng kulay.

"Malay ko sa yo. Problema mo yan."

Inoffer nya kay secretary, sabi ni Sec.
" Ayaw ko ng kulay, I like fushia...not beige..."
(Taray ni Sec, haha)

Wala magawa si driver kundi itinabi sa garage yung kurtina, haha.
Let it rot! Boing!

Actually, mabait naman si Driver, may pag ka bossy boots lang. Feeling Boss siya, eh di naman siya designated as one.Taga hawak lang siya ng 2000€ funds a month kung may needs to buy sa apartment and office.

Basta, ayoko mag work sa Italy. Ano sila. Pag na tambakan ako ng work sa apartment sa Monaco , ako kawawa, at sisisihin na:

WHAT DID YOU DO? BAKIT TAMBAK WORK MO????

Di ba?
Flexible ang Lola nyo, but there are limits!
Wala sa contract ko ang travel, so wala travel!
And if they really wanted me to travel with them, papayag ako.
Kung Pinas ang dayo, lol!

Girls, know your rights and stick to it. It protects you and your work.
Sa dami ng pasaway sa paligid...
With looks as sweet as lambs but in coats of wolves, haha.*
Agree?




(Ps. Mag comment ka, otherwise, hindi mag move on ang post na to... Please lang. Kahit ano, basta may masabi, haha...)

shopping

Thursday, January 20, 2011
Bonjour!

Alam nyo ba how the french goes shopping when it is SOLDES(huge sale)?

Ganito:

1.Its all sale everywhere in France, for three weeks,kaya bisita sa shops,
looking looking, Taga SUCAT paranaque,(oo sukat ng damit, pero di bibili)
lalabas, ikot ulit sa ibang shops, then babalikan ang nagustuhan.
Kinuha sa display, bitbit to fit sa fitting room, take out her celphone, take a photo and pag uwi sa bahay, hahanapin ang kapareha sa EBAY at oorder,kasi half the price, lol!

2.Or gaya ni Lolo Michel nyo, tingin tingin lang, knowing knowing ng quality, sukat sukat... Pero hindi bibili.
Okey na raw sa kanya na na try niya, lol
Marami pa naman daw siya damit.
Lolo, pabusog mata lang pala!

Pero ano ka, pag sa antique shop mo siya dalhin, ang vow for not buying niya, violated na,lol

3.I dont fancy na yung dining table namin, bulky, eh wala na ako space for my own "business" sa sala, kaya i went to Basika with Lolo.
Ayaw niya, kasi home furnitures shop, tiyak laki gastos!
After BASIKA may nakita kaming magandang table, extended, na LAQUER ang material.
Then compare namin sa isang shop, sa FLY.
The same table meron sa katabing Conforama.
Then akala ko ma decide na yung nagustuhan namin-> BOTH<- sa BASIKA.

No. Next week daw balikan namin, baka bumaba pa.
Umuwi akong luhaan, nag mamaktol.

After a week, binalikan namin, same process, hipo, looking looking, ikot ulit sa three shops.
Verdict:
Ayaw pa bilhin, ayusin daw muna namin ang sala kung bagay nga sa mga ibang gamit, bago bumili.
Next week daw ulit.

Dumating ang third week.
Bisita ulit sa Basika, sa Fly, sa Conforama.
Wala na yung gusto namin out of stock na!!!
Waaaahhh!

Ganun ang style ng Lolo nyo.
He is french.

I tell you, there's no glory in being french!!!

Kayo , anong experience nyo to avoid spending? Gupitin ang credit card?

Crumbs

Friday, January 14, 2011
He is married.That is what I always said to our Kababayan.
And she would answer, "I know, but what can I do, Im in love."


Allow me to analyze, girls, that having a relationship with a married man is the worst position a lady can get.

The priority is always the wife, not the mistress.
In special events of life, like birthdays, christmas, valentines day,monthsary anniversary, its an occasion with the family(wife and kids).
On weekends too.
Where is the position of the mistress?
Under the "table" waiting for crumbs...


Ganun ang position ng kababayan natin...For seven months now.
Waiting for the spare time from the married man.
Waiting for crumbs...


Last discussion we had, she confided, the bf will go home to Philippines with the wife. And she do not accept it.
I forced myself not to laugh.
You see, some mistress think and feel that they belong to their bf as "the wife".
Talking about "Ownership".



I told her, if she listen to her heart, she lose.
If she use her brain and get out of it quickly, she wins. She will gain self respect,morally, she avoid commiting fornication,and dreaded diseases like hepatitis or aids.
One never knows if the man sleeps with other women plus the wife!!!

In France,couples, before having sex, by principles, should have an aids test before deciding to go without condoms.
If they sex with two or three partners, imagine the tests they have to pass!!!
Nakakahiya namang every month na lang, nag papa test ka, di ba?

Back to our story...
If she allows her heart to dictate, the heart is always desperate and tricky.
It can blackmail her to slavery (in love).
She will bound to accept whatever spared left overs(time) of the boyfriend.

Our kababayan allows her heart to governs.
She is not realistic.
She doesnt up value herself.
She just sink in to the hope, maybe one day he will leave his wife and they can be together.
She is in dreams.
And afraid to be alone.
Thats for me is desperation.


When she will be 60 years old and the competition is stiff to find a husband, then she realize, she wasted her time.
She is only 33 years old.
27 years more? Before she wakes up?
Mama mia.
What an intelligence.
Mind you, she is very intelligent in some aspect of her life.
But I cannot understand, why with a married man?
If he is rich, then there might have a solid ground.
But no!
Mama mia.

Bon, she does what she likes.What ever I say, it does not register to her anyway.

Is there no decent man around anymore?

Michel answered:"Yes there are, but either they are married, or "bakla"!
Ngek.

Honestly,na ooffend ang pagiging feminine ko pag nakakita ako nang isang matalino at magandang dalaga na pumatol sa may asawa...
Ako ang nanghihinayang.
She deserves a prince charming, not a... whatever...

Girls around the blogsphere, would you go with a married man?
Loving daw and handsome?

Soon to UK

Tuesday, January 11, 2011
Bonjour!

To London ang 4 days vacay ko.
Holiday sa Jan 27 sa Monaco, so I will take advantage to see my sistahs that I didnt visit last season's greetings.

I grabbed the cheap plane tickets,offered, round trip for 62€ Nice to London Gatwick.
Mga sisters ko, di pa informed, haha.

I just commute and bang at their door when there, lol!

Baka pag alam nila na darating ako, i red carpet nila ang Gatwick airport and sarado ang streets ng Downing, haha
You know how Philippine culture is, stay close as family, whatever happens.
Baka nga magsi absent pa mga yun sa work, para tuloy ang gala.
Wag sana mag snow!
Bon.

About work, my Boss is complaining, he stayed 18days in Monaco without moving anywhere.
In 20years daw, 18days was the longest ,he stayed in Monaco.
Dati rati, uuwian lang ako ng labahin and for drycleaning, lalayas na naman.
Matagal na ang two days!

Sinagot ko:
Sir, there's no place like home...
Home Sweet Home...

Kasi, shhhh, may new girlfriend na si Sir, Model!!!!sus, blonde, kagandang girlie, 20years younger his age!!!

Pero ano ka, reklamo ako, dami ko work!!!!
Waaah.
Bye bye na yung once a week lang ako nag serious work since I started with them Oct 2009;

I told Driver that the Boss cannot believe he stayed in Monaco for 18 days.
Driver said!

Oww!!! HE SHOULD LEAVE!!! HE JUST DONT COMPLAIN!!!NO ONE IS HOLDING HIM HERE TO STAY!!!

See the different reactions? SI DRIVER MAY GANANG MAG REKLAMO, eh halos wala nga siya ginagawa kasi si Bossing nag da drive anywhere Sir goes!!!

Walang ka tact tact si driver.Pwede ba naman na sabihan ang bossing ng ganun?

"Sir, walang pumipigil sa yo dito, why dont you leave????"

Minsan ang Bossing, would see how we, employees react to it.
They are testing if we are understanding of the changes or happy of them around or not.

Honestly, I am not happy, but thats work.
Diplomacy.
Alangan naman we are hired just because we have blonde hair and blue eyes!
Naman!

Some days we are loaded, sometimes we are bored for not doing anything...
C'est la vie.

Bundok na ang bed sheets na labahin,ubos na pati nasa guests rooms, nagamit na, pinadala ko nga sa dry clean!!!!

Hinihintay ko na mag travel para naman ma relaks ko gawin ang trabaho, aba ayaw!
Hayan tambak ang Laundry.
Solution, ipadala sa dry clean, para pag balik, i deposit na lang sa closet!
Super talaga ang work ko since Jan 3 MONDAY.

Babawi na lang ng holiday sa UK...

NO internet at home

Sunday, January 09, 2011
Bonjour!

Thats why, I cannot post a new one. Please bear with me. It will give you time to visit other blogs, or create your own. Oh di ba?

Basta, 2011 seems a good year for all of us, thats all that matters.

Tuesday the technician will see the problem, and then Im back to blogging.

The question I will leave to all who wants to answer is:

Does infidelity can save a couple's marriage/relationship?


Lolo said, it doesnt. It would break difinitely the marriage instead of saving it.
The trust is gone.
The infidel will always be an infidel.
He or she does it once, he/she will do it again.


Conservative si Lolo nyo. He doesnt believe a third party in a couple.
Better daw to finalize the end of the relationship(by legal means if applicable) before going(sleeping) with another one.

Okey, got to give back the 3G internet connection of Anjo.
Back to blogging Tuesday.

Bisous at tous(Kisses to all)
