Blessed day everyone!

Last night I cried out silently I feel pity for myself because I know I did my best but still it wasn't good enough.

For today's write up I want to share some not-good experiences here in my work as a domestic helper in Kuwait.

For my six years of being here, some people think that I am blessed. I found a good employer because I stayed for that long period of years but of course if not for my never-unending patience and the sake of necessity for the survival of the needs of my family probably I will not suffer and endured their bad character with these kinds of people.

My employers rented a small apartment they are 4siblings 2boys and 2 girls I don't have problems with the boys because whatever they want they will tell their sisters we are the same age in late 30s the other girl is already married and she has a 1 and half-year-old baby boy though she already has a husband she still depends on her big sister which I consider her big sister a perfectionist she's good in pretending that she's a very good person behind your back, they are gossiping.

This married sister always comes here every time they are fighting with her husband now she's staying here since I came back last February probably shortly after they always fight they were divorced same as what her big sister doing she's already two times married but ended broke up and divorce now that she's in 37 she no longer find a husband.

Since I came back, my employer who I called her perfectionist because every time I am done cleaning during the night when I had already slept she checks everything and does it again rearranging as if I am not doing anything, and I feel insulted she not telling me anything in front of me but I know and I feel the way she performs.

This married sister always goes outside and since she has a baby she wants me to accompany them we go every day outside so the tendency is I can't clean good the apartment, as I am always hurrying plus the baby always stays with me so sometimes we leave the apartment to much missy.

And when we come back her big sister the perfectionist one already cleans it and I know they are talking to me as if it was my fault that the apartment is not arranged or clean.

Last night I know they gossiping with me they think that I speak to them in English and they don't know that I understand Arabic but I understand although I never speak their language when someone gossiped I know they think I am still not learning.

So yeah that's my problem here I stayed here also because the only thing that I ask God at that time when I decided to work here in the middle east was that I want an employer who is not doing bad things to me like not giving food, same as what happened to our some kababayan that they are going home lifeless and. so yeah I am still blessed that my only problem is that my employer is good at pretending that she's good but behind your back she's telling to everyone shes the only one clean and everything.

If only she was in the Phillipines she's the number one "MARITES"in the baranggay 😂.

That's all for me today guys hope everyone has having a good day!
