Wanted: Kasama sa Bahay (Housemaid), Job Hiring for Filipinas in Korea
Mga Kabayang Pilipina sa Korea,

Hiring pa po kami para sa mga Filipina na narito sa Korea na naghahanap ng marangal at maayos na trabaho at maayos na amo. Tanging legal na passport lamang po ang requirement na dokumento. Ang trabaho ay magsisimula ngayong Mayo. Nangangailangan po kami ng kasama sa bahay na babae. Kelangan mo ay marunong mag-Ingles, may kusa, at marunong sa bahay at higit sa lahat marunong sa mga bata.

Kailangan po ay stay-in mula Lunes hanggang Byernes ng hapon. Day off po kapag Sabado at Linggo at lahat ng red-calendar days sa Korea. Lahat po ay provided, pagkain at pang-araw araw na pangangailangan. Malapit po sa subway station at sa bus terminal ang bahay (5minutes walk).

Ang sukat ng bahay ay regular at pangkaraniwan. May tatlong maliit na kwarto, sala, at kusina. Kumplet po sa appliances. Mayroon silang dalawang anak, parehong nag-aaral. Mabait ang mga amo. Maghapon silang wala sa bahay. Aalis sila sa umaga babalik sa gabi.

Ang sweldo ay magsisimula sa 1million korean won (P40,000) buwanan. Kailangan kailangan na po ito. Mayroon pong ibang nag-apply pero mayroon tayong isinasaalang alang na mga katangian ng kasama sa bahay na mahalaga. Lalo na at ipagkakatiwala sa kanya ang ibang desisyon (gaya ng paghawak ng credit cards, pagdala sa hospital ng mga bata, etc).

Hangad ko po makatulong sa inyo at sa aking mga kaibigan koreano.

If you will write a book review, ill take it as a reliable source I can feel there’s quality in there.

re comment on religion: you didn’t succeed. hahaha. but i understand where you’re coming from. some of those i agree, though I can’t be as blunt as you are. i’m not invisible:-) and i chose to redirect my passion to motherhood these days.

i did write on some books i read in my older posts in this site… kahiya to call them reviews. i’m not an expert. just taking my liberty to write about them:-)

believe it or not wendy..those last posts i made (re: religion), i tried very very hard not to offend anyone Haaay. I hope it will work.

I choose carefully the topics that i want to comment or react with in any forums. So you wont see me reacting on any topics about K-pop, K showbiz and the likes. (except HOLLYWOOD hehe).

But i like it when you made a post about Jane Eyre. I hope you can do some book or movie reviews.

hey arvinsign, you may have just came in too strong on a sensitive topic… and if i may add, you enjoyed your “perceived arrogance” status:-) it allows you to practice “intellectual debate through writing”. you prefer to be invisble and “invincible” because you stand on the objective side to which many lean on being subjective. don’t allow them to realize that dealing with you is “talo ang pikon”. i’m enjoying the show:-)

“Back to Pinay spouses of Koreans… I used to share the same perception about Pinays marrying Koreans for financial security. Can anyone blame me for that? I don’t think so.”

- In my case everybody is blaming me Contrary to what most people think in Betchay’s blog, i am actually friends to many of these pinays married to Koreans. In the place where i am now, i know so many of them and as far as i know im treating all of them nicely and they are doing the same thing to me. I am just pointing out something which i consider as a social issue. I guess i have explained my side well however its quite unfortunate that most who responded on my post focused on my “perceived arrogance” rather than providing some facts, a counter claim or discuss what the topic is all about.

I dont need to brag, or elevate myself for in the first place nobody knows whats my real identity, who i am, where im from and what i do. Im writing under a pen name which is neither linked to a personal site nor pointing to a personal blogsite. I dont have plans to reveal it either. Im invisible. So its pointless to say im smart, dumb, arrogant, nice, rich, poor whatever etc if im anonymous. I see no merit in that.

Perception is perception no matter what. Its either you live with it or stand against it. Its the same as saying like Japanese people in general for example are intelligent, hardworking, innovative as well as rich people. There is an overwhelming evidence for that. The existence of 100 or 1000 lazy and poor, homeless Japanese will not change that perception. Its simply statistics.

jaz, binuking mo na tv addict ako! hahaha.

girl, i understand what you’re saying. kahit saan naman, the interesting stories are those that tug the heart. yun nga lang, it creates stereo-typing. buti lang andyan ka sa show. and yes, as an insider, it would do a great deal for you to write about it.

and i have always been vocal that i had my own biases prior to meeting you guys… i mean, it only shows na meron talagang mga pre-conceived notions. and that’s where the individual comes in… to rise above those pre-conceived notions… buti na lang i got the chance to meet the ‘pinay seoulites’, o di ba?

see you sat! mukhang it would be another interesting afternoon:-)
