Life at home: Taking over Role of the Maid

And again God spoke to me through the Holy Spirit. There is this weird and uneasy feeling about something bad would happen but not sure what it was about. If I were to take a minute and stop my movement, would I give it a deep thought about the possibility of mishap again?

True enough, just a second I walk to the toilet and coming out again, there I saw my maid's face in shock and tears. I also was in shock and the only thing I could do at that time was to escort here to the chair. I became agitated myself when I don't get to reach out to the first aid kid as quickly as possible. When I saw how dad had to go up to his room for the aid box, it was too late to treat my maid.

I really could not believe that dad would be curious about the location of her hurt, instead of caring for her. I could not wait for him anymore and quickly search for the right material and medicine to sooth her wound. Dad at least rub some Dettol on her deep 1 inches cut. 

I have to remind myself to buy a brand new first aid box for the kitchen. 

I am still in shock because I just could not comprehend the situation. I whispered to myself, " So this is the time. That time I predicted when I know my turn now to slowly take over the maid's role." I expected this and it was matter of time. I know that it is not fair for the maid to do all the housechore at home. She is not as energetic and stamina as before. She is really hardworking and given her best to all she could for the house. Maybe it was not farsighted for overlooking her hardwork couple of days ago, scrapping the old paint off from the wall, it had put a toll on her. But, how could that be a cause for her slip on the floor outside the kitchen?

When fragile things happen like that, it was so easy to blame people or things for it. I kept reminding myself it is not anyone's but mind as well. Being back really shows that my purpose being here is to slowly oversee the welfare of this home.

I will talk to the maid about sharing the housechores at home so that can lighten her burden. I can say that she is like a mother to me. So, seeing her hurt is not what I want too. No one wants to see anybody get hurt at home.

Dissapointment by the turn of events.

How do I make a change of career path? This is the toughest question I have today. I have a Science background in degree, and 180 degree change to arts or humanities, can be seen surprising or less of the norms in the Asian society. If I am in America, changing major or a career path is not uncommon in the community of individuality and self-interest. I am bringing this topic to an intention because , if there is someone out there who are reading this, I like to get a sense check that I am not gambling my path simply. My reflection , after writing this entry, can be narrow minded. Having someone here, will be a great soundboard. Let me give you a little context as to what actually brings me to this junction or crossroad of life. After I have spent three glorious days working in TFM (current company where I work), the entry of new manager changes the structure around. Implementing performance scorecard and leadership framework, each staff was evaluatud for his or her strengths a...

You can choose to love on two ways.

This whole week, I was covered with a heavy emotion. An inner conflict of hatred, jealousy and loneliness. I struggled to come out from the shell of darkness and tears. It was so suffocating that the only place for me breather was being outside of the house. I pour out my heart to my yiyi. I think her role as a counselor helped me to process my inner feelings and thoughts. Thanks to her counselling I was able to answer my own question. Why did I bear with all this emotion? What made me do so when I could feel otherwise? I can choose to love in two ways. To love someone in hatred/expectation or to love someone as they are. I loved with an expectation of return. It was I who was being conditional of them whereas situation can be the other way round. I had love out of spite. But now knowing that, I felt peaceful about when I realized that I should love with acceptance. That made all the different. I love my family so much that I was scared to lose them so much so feelings of hatred,...

First knowledge buying IT product

This entry is about my trip to Digital Mall in favor of my brother to purchase a computer product. Lesson learnt 1. Go for the first person you see has a good eye contact and good feel that he or she would be the right person to talk to regarding product. 2. You have the right to change sales person for the bad service you received and decides on the person whom to receive commission. 3. When helping someone to buy a product, do go in which a list on the paper and pictures. 4. Confirm the product by asking questions which the buyer likes to know first. 5. Ask permission to take picture of the products to make sure that the product you are about or plan to buy is according to the preference of the buyer. Hm..today I had to put on a thick face to deal with the bad service from the manager of the store. Anyway, I will still go to Jayacom for IT products mainly the price offer is cheaper than any other place. I can disregard the bad service. Anything for you, my dear brother. Do...
