manang again

manang is becoming a suki in my blog. starting to really annoy every hibla of OUR nerves! i know that maids have a day-off, no prob about it. but not DAYS-OFF. it happens almost every weekend now. she'll leave saturday morning, head back here sunday night if we're lucky. if malas, monday morning na. hay. could you believe it, she's off even on holidays? kuya calls her the "bakasyonista" na nga e! duh! when weekends come, my goal sana is: kain, tulog - complete rest. so it never happens 'cause we alternately do the dishes and ligpit some (if sinipag). the kawawa one's really my mom 'cause she cooks pa when manang's out. but hey! i cooked baked mac for dinner ha (it tastes ok!).

ma's starting to lose her temper about it 'cause the idea of having a maid sana is, you work hard on weekdays and rest on weekends. this evening, it was my turn to wash the dishes. but before that, i was kinda dozing off na while watching tv. heard ma starting to wash the dishes so i shouted... "ma, iwan mo na yan. ako maghuhugas ngayon.", and continued to doze off. ok when i woke up, ma's almost done with the dishes. asked her why she washed and she kind of angrily replied "e natutulog ka na e!". and i answered shyly, "e gigising pa naman ako e. sabi ko ako maghuhugas e". and it's not like i could sleep the night away on the sofa! =(

i felt bad. obviously, she's not mad at me. she's mad at manang. naibuntong lang sakin and all moms are licensed to explode at you when they're mad about something else. poor me can't pass that anger to anybody else. so what did i do? i washed my undies. mega kusot! sige sa undies ibuntong ang galit. patay lahat ng dumi! kahit mga good lactobacilli shirota strain, deaders! didn't break the garter naman... and i guess i could still wear them pa naman. still intact.

hmmm... we're not lucky tonight so i guess she'll be back tomorrow na. bwahaha! (imagine count dracula's laugh) somebody's going to have a good long sermon tomorrow! and i can't wait! haha bad!

note: super sarap ng buhay ni manang dito. she finishes her tasks at around 9am. she's free 'til we come home at around 7pm. so she just watches tv (while lying on a comfy sofa), sleeps, reads magazines during free time. anybody interested to replace her? just send me a message hahaha!
