JAPAN VISA for YAYA: A Guide on how to successfully get one

Posted on January 9, 2019 by Didi

Happy New Year! One thing I really like doing – filling up forms!  Yes, yes and yes!  I am weird that way but it’s a good thing because since we all hold a Philippine Passport, that means forms need to get filled up – and I’m lucky because I willingly lovingly do them! When we…

Yaya Diaries: Faustina Aloro Part 1 – Red Flags that we choose to ignore

Posted on September 12, 2018 by Didi

One of the things I REALLY REALLY dislike is poor listening skills.  I was taught to listen carefully, all throughout my schooling life and life on this earth – I was taught to LISTEN. And so when people around me don’t listen – well, I get a bit irritated.  I get more agitated when it…

Yaya Diaries: Riza Tepace

Posted on July 23, 2018 by Didi

This is Riza Tepace. She worked as a helper in my household for a total of 23 days.  To be honest, she is nice, hardworking and cleans well.  She’s smiley and is friendly.  The kids like her and Yaya B said she works well. I got her from my mother in law’s mom.  Panget’s Ama…

Posted on September 2, 2015 by Didi

Aaaaand the saga continues…. I have said it before, but I will say it again. Can’t live with them, can’t live without them. I have long wanted to replace this sort of all around helper of mine.  I say sort of because technically, she just cleans and cooks.  When you say all around, it means…

Posted on March 30, 2015 by Didi

OMG another domestic help issue. Almost two months ago, Kailee’s Yaya Ga went home.  A week after the new year, she told me that she wanted to go home, and that she won’t be coming back.  She says that her back hurts and that she feels that her asthma is recurring.  First of all, I…

Yaya Diaries: Yaya Babylyn Part 2

Posted on December 10, 2014 by Didi

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…

Yaya Diaries: Yaya Babylyn & how I got suckered

Posted on August 31, 2014 by Didi

I got suckered. Yes, I have to admit it – I got suckered big time. You see, I have been looking for a househelp.  My SIL sent me a message and it was in perfect timing.  She said that her previous maid is looking for work, she asked if I needed a helper and at…
