Yaya you're such a winner!

Housekeeping please! This was taken in Subic last week.

Tomorrow, my life is going to change. Our yaya is leaving. She's going to Dubai to work at my uncle's company. After almost three years, I may most probably have to wipe my own butt after shitting.

But seriously, this is scary. All this time, we've been so lucky to have her servicing us. She didn't exactly do everything flawlessly but God knows how she has made all these years so much easier.

I'm sure she won't be able to read this but "Thank you! I'm glad you finally had your teeth fixed! Arte mo!" Hahah...

Everybody's leaving. My sister is also planning to leave for Dubai in September and the cousins I'm with right now will be off to live in Japan next month. I, on the other hand, am giving Manila another try, perhaps another year.

I really don't have problems living alone. I actually like it. I can feed myself and I can do the laundry for as long as the washing machine is working properly. What I'm most worried about is ironing. Three years ago, when I just started working in Manila, I discovered how stressful ironing is. Now I know why our former planchadora almost burned our other helper's face because the latter allegedly failed to give her some snack.

Anyway, I wish our dear yaya a good life abroad. Thank you and take care 'Nang.
