It's the not up to the neck... it is still manageable but because an additional load was given, I have been neglecting you, my blog friends.
I am now functioning as a secretary for two offices which is ok and fun. Well because I got things to do and I don't have to do my favorite past time: wait for the clock to strike 6 pm. Hephep hoorah for that!

Yesterday, while we were dropping off one of our colleagues to his home, the engineer commented that 'my friends' were there. You see, he was talking about the domestic helpers in that subdivision. I answered abruptly, "No! They are not my friends!" Actually my 'no' was kinda loud and the rest of my sentence was almost a whisper.
I felt bad really... I'm not denying them as 'my kababayan' though I know it sounded that way.
I am proud of them because just like me they, too, wanted to earn a living and provide food, clothing, shelter for their families. Only difference is that I was able to study and go through college and them... well, maybe some of them only finished highschool or elelmentary.

Divine D, my friend said that most of the well off families who decided to move their entire family here, entrusts their sons and daughters to Filipina helpers. They said, Filipinas care for their children as if it was their own. True. You need not look outside of our country to get proof. Everyone who has a helper in their house there (Philippines) is treating them as 'family'.

So I would like to state for the record that I am proud of them! Way to go!!!!
