Yaya Diaries: Yaya Babylyn Part 2

We all have a LOVE-HATE relationship with our Yayas/Helpers.  They give us unending headaches and sometimes - heartache.  I have written my fair share of headaches & heartaches - but well, what can I do?  I need them in my life - and that's the trade off.

It's been quite a while that I've written about them.  Nope, it's doesn't mean that I've found the *one* it simply means, I got tired of writing about them.  But last night, I got a text message from Yaya Babylyn - it seems she forgot who I was.  This is the second time she did that.  And I wanted to share how brave and bold and direct they are - with the matters of the flesh.

The first time was this message:  Please note the date.



How bold of her right?  A bit of screw loose in the head?  So I ignored her.  But then I realized, this woman - gosh, she's really something.  I mean to boldy ask someone to have sex with her?  I guess sex in indeed a pleasure for her.  According to my Sister in Law this Yaya Babylyn has 2 kids at least!  Wow.  And then again last night, I think she wanted to have another *thing* with the owner of my number - but then I replied to her and I guess, she was surprised?  I dunno, what do you think?




Now, with that reply.  I really wanted to know - ANO ANG DAPAT KONG INTINDIHIN?  What should I understand?  I was very confused - I mean, in her mind - what did she do?  I think she felt that she didn't do anything wrong!  What the hell right?

I don't want to be mean but then when we come across these kind of people, I cannot help but feel angry, irritated and confused because what didn't I understand about her situation?  I'm fuming now - because as I recall, she asked for an advance from me so she could commute to my place and I willingly gave it to her.  But what happened?  She never showed up?  She even told me that she'd return the money - that I don't rush her with it!  It's been months but no news from her at all.  I don't send her messages - I just let it be.  Friends have told me to let it go - at least its just P1,000.00 - But still right?  I could have just given this amount to my yayas instead - they're more deserving!

I've learned to accept the fact that the P1,000.00 will be gone forever.  I don't think she will ever return the money.  I just thought to myself that she needed the money so bad that she needed to *dupe* me.  I just hope that when the time comes that she's really in need, karma won't bite her back.

I took to FB and found her.  So I posted the link of my previous post.  I got an inquiry from her neighbor asking if it was true - I told the neighbor to ask Yaya Babylyn herself.  I knew she would deny it - to save face!  But I can't believe it - I mean - for her to say *mababawi pa ba yung nilagay sa FB*?  I did not concoct that story, why should I?  Just look at the text message above - is there a way to make that up?  I don't think so!  I took a screenshot as proof because I had a feeling she will sing a different tune.

I know I will be mean but are these people's brains wired so differently?  I don't understand why they feel so entitled?  Did society do that?  Make them feel entitled because of their status in life?  That we owe them something more?

I am so very confused and irritated.  Boiling mad even - I mean, the nerve!

    I don't mean to be judgmental, pero minsan talaga kung sino pa mas nangangailangan, sila pa mas mataas and mas mayabang. Like you, i have had my share of yaya horror stories.
    Happy holidays!

      Hi Joanne! I also don't want to be mean, pero I do agree with you. Minsan nga iniisip ko, na parang we owe them so much? Pero kung tutuusin - we feed them, we house, we treat them like family and love them - YET they don't value us. Paano ba natin sila dapat tratuhin? Sana may guidelines nga eh. Para alam nila ang alam natin.

      In the end, it's sad to say but it's PERA PERA lang. Trabaho lang, walang personalan.

      Thanks for dropping by Joanne!

      Love, Didi

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a ...

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup.   You may ask why?  Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup!  It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off.  You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies!  My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered.  When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon.  It actually made the preparation easier.  I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it.  Honestly, I don't t...

#CookingQuest: Chicken Stir Fry

When I was little, I used to see my mom, guama and aunt cook in the kitchen.  I found it amazing, that they have this idea in their heads on what to cook for us.  I remember my guama had small bits of plastic that when opened contained shirmp and cooked pork fat.  I asked her what it was for, and she told me that it was to add 'flavor' to the dish whatever it was.  I don't remember seeing her look at any cook book or a paper with recipe.  She just whipped them all up! When I got older, I became interested in baking - baking because I was afraid of splattering oil.  So I stuck to baking for a while.  It was only when I got married that I had to dive in and cook.  When my Panget and I were newly married, we didn't have a helper during the weekend, so I had to step up.  There were times that we didn't have a helper at all (we borrowed my mom's helper to clean), so I had to do all the cooking.  It was there that I learned to whip s...
