?????????????
Last Sunday , as I was eating breakfast , the woman who irons our clothes came.
For the past Sundays, last month , she has been coming to iron our clothes on whatever day she wants , not Sunday as was her schedule ever since .
We told her that if she persists on not coming on Sundays , we will be getting another one instead of her. Thus , she now comes on Sundays again.
However , last Sunday it was raining since Wednesday, so basically the washed clothes last Saturday aren’t dry yet for ironing and she knows that , because she have seen them all still hanging at the garage.
I know why she came , when I saw her came in early .
True enough , she needs money, when I asked why she came despite the fact that it was raining since last week. So instead, she would like to make a cash advance, which she always does .
She said she’s going to buy rice . As you all know, rice is the staple food here in the Philippines.
My heart was pinched with pity so I told mother-in-law that we give her rice , since we have two sacks still and brother-in-law’s every month’s supply will be arriving soon again.
Thus , I gave her more than 3 kilos of rice because I know she cannot carry if I make it more than that . We also gave her her cash advance. She was so happy and thanked us profusely and we were happy too that we were able to help her again for the Nth time .
Sometimes , some people will only be wanting to work as scheduled when they are in dire need of the money . But if not , they would like to work whenever they want.
Sad , but this is true with some people. But somehow , even is she’s like that , we always help her in whatever way we can .

We really cannot ignore these people. I also experienced this kind of situation for a couple of times. I just need to be sensitive sometimes. As long as they will not abuse my kindness, that's would be another story. I'm done dealing with these people. I know that sometimes educational level was not able to attain. However, we can still educate them if they wanted to. If not, then we just need to let it go and be a broadminded.
That is true. Though, we don't think of their educational attainment when they act like that. It's more of a survival for them which we truly understand. We have proven her to be trustworthy and has been with us for many years and that is enough for us to help them.
So many people go through life's hurdles quietly you wouldn't know what someone is going through until you notice something and start asking questions.
We may go through certain problems but because we don't want to be seen as needy people we would rather be quiet and just try to deal with the punching pain. The thing is it's not always so easy to hide this situations. At Ted it becomes so harsh that you have to ask.
I remember i also had a house help who would come to wash for me my clothes and clean the house. That girl had do many problems she used to do two jobs everyday so that she would make ends meet, yet the two jobs were not even e nought to provide for her daily needs. So I took it upon myself to help her out and that's why I told to be coming to wash for me. She would come to my home when she is so tired and worn out and we all know that when someone is so tired there is no way they will wash or do whatever they are doing well.
So sometimes I would just give her a few clothes to wash because I know they won't be washed clean. I could give her good she would eat and eat but if you watched her you could tell that she is not satisfied, I would oftenly give her some good stuffs so she would go and cook at her house for her child. I remember when she would come on Sundays, she would come with her daughter, she was a young kid around 3 years of age. They would be so tired that you feel sorry and just offer them food. That child used to eat until you feel sorry. As much as you would like to help it's a bit impossi or given that you also have yourself to take care of and your house. So I know how bad it can get but there is so much that one can do.
