Buhay Scout: May Future ka!

no not that one please…

i am writing this as i still feel the goosebumps all over my body…

i was doing some inventory of our Department’s documents when i thought i better check what my groupmates were doing in the field. that was 21:30.

i went to the locker room to get my hard hat, bandana, cotton gloves, and goggles. then i went out after i wore them. the process area was deserted. my two groupmates were fast asleep atop a jumbo bag over at the surge tank area. other than these two folks, the whole process area was empty of awake people. i don’t know where else the rest of the group are. i sat a few minutes on top of another jumbo bag a few meters away from the sleeping girls. a few minutes more then i headed back to the control room to continue what i was doing. i was walking along the silo area, just a few blocks from the control room, when i suddenly felt gossebumps start to rise all over my body…and that creepy feeling of being followed…oh i hate that feeling!! so much! i took a glance behind me…there was no one! still that creepy feeling won’t leave me…that’s when i hurried into the control room and straight here at my desk to document everything!

i’m still scared…ghosts lurk the whole plant they say. i do am lucky i never saw one while i was walking back..but the creepy feeling hasn’t left me…not yet…i do hope it’s already 23:30…so that i’ll be heading back home…back where there are no ghosts to scare me…oh man! time moves so slowly down here…darn!

Two yayas gone in a row!

when we decided to leave my in laws house for an apartment we are currently renting at the town proper of Batangas City, we got Athan’s cousin from Paranaque to babysit the two girls. She was on her third month with us when she asked for a vacation because it was her birthday on Aug 18. So we let her go for a 3-day vacation in Paranaque with her family. On the 3rd day of her vacation,she sent a text message asking us to send Php 500 for her fare because she already spent most of her money for her siblings’ medications and she badly wanted to come back because she was much better off living with us (regarding food and work load). So we sent her the money and she was back the next day. She came back sick. And we just let her rest for almost a week; with us mostly minding the kids when we’re at home. then last last sunday, the hubby and I went out for an errand so she was left with the kids. much to our surprise (and to my anger), her things were already packed and she was just waiting for us because she was like so excited to leave! she waited because she didn’t have money for fare! what angered me was that she didn’t even gave us enough time to find a replacement. she said she was afraid to tell us. US! for goodness sake! we treated her no different from us. even took care of her during her sickness (which means she was never really able to do her job when she came back). and this is how she repaid us! INGRATA! so it ended up with her leaving anyway because we never want to make her stay against her will lest she do something to the kids. i was wondering why she was in a hurry to leave that night. and as i was holding Jet Li and wondering, I felt a bump on my baby’s head. it wasn’t there when we left Sunday morning. so i came to understand that maybe she caused that bump on poor Jet Li’s head and she was afraid we’ll discover and ask her about it. so there! we were so lugi because we gave her money that she wasn’t able to work for, plus we have to pay her debt from Athan’s cousin who sells Natasha, and then Jet Li had a bump for a bonus! nice one Tita Tina! I just hope she realizes the hassle that she caused us. I really hope she feels my anger and if ever i see her in any reunion that Athan’s family holds during the holidays, I swear i would wring her neck! so help me Batman! AMP!

Then we got another yaya last Sunday.  This one also came from Athan’s family, but this time from his father’s side. So the girl is also from Batangas, which is good in case she feels bored, she can go to her house to un-bore herself. But i guess we are just so unlucky with yayas because yesterday I was downtown when she texted me to hurry home because there was a MUMU at the CR. Goodness! the place we’re renting is new and my brother (who “feels” things) assured me there’s no GHOSTs lurking in the house. She was locked in the CR and she was so nervous she thinks she can’t last another day. so there! another failure with a scary yaya.

now this calls for desperate moves! i contacted my brother (who is so busy with his UYAYI band) if he can babysit his nieces. He said he will next week after he finishes his band’s gigs. whew! what a relief. Athan’s brother also volunteered to take care of the kids. So now, we have 2 yayos instead! i hope these two guys will last…i never want to scout the entire universe for a babysitter! i mean it doesn’t have to take that much, right?
