hi alpha! oo we have a big garden area. teo lots kase ito. kaya every afternoon naeexercise si sophia coz she keeps on running around.

di included food ng helpers sa grocery ko. they cook their own food kase. kase ang dami nila hahaha. they just buy fish and veggies sa market while i supply their meat kase diba may farm/piggery sina jon?

re gas, naku sinabi mo. layo kase biyahe ni jon everyday. tapos now dagdag pa yan coz everyday na rin pumapasok si sophia sa school.

hi jane,

naaliw ako dito sa post..naging tag na from N@W discussion ha! :)

anyway, di na ako mag-comment sa gas … talagang kakaiba gas expense nyo! lol. :)

curious ako snack ng helpers, how do you do this? ibig ba sabihin you buy sa grocery worth P1500 snacks? or you give it as money allowance per day?

and how about yun shampoo,toothpaste and soap nila? ako kasi I buy them monthly supplies nila. if kulang or may preferred brand sila, bili na lang sila ulit personal money nila. ikaw?

12. Jane commented on July 01, 2008 at 2:59 pm

14. Jane commented on July 01, 2008 at 3:04 pm

aggie, meron fortuner asi jon diesel din pero mahal lang tlaga ang gas grabe. malayo kase biyahe niya tapos minsan umuuwi pa kami ng pamp hehe

nagpaparesearch nga yun re LPG tanks on cars. may napanood kase kami sa tv.

15. Jane commented on July 01, 2008 at 3:12 pm

joy, naku sana nga mlagyan ng pool someday :D

grabe talaga ang gas. layo kase ng work ni jon at now si sophia nag school na din everyday. hay, hirap na ng buhay now! imagine 60pesos per liter na ang gas.

16. Jane commented on July 01, 2008 at 3:18 pm

oo nga, shocking talaga ang gas. well, ganun talag malayo work ni jon kase.

re snacks of helpers, i give it as allowance per day. 50 pesos sila per day to buy ng kung ano ano that they fancy. madami naman kase mabibilhan dito sa labas ng village. the driver usually uses the bike to buy :) pero when we have homemade snacks naman, i give them too aside from the 50 pesos.

re toiletries, i dont give eh. instead i give lang extra 200 pesos a month each sa kanila as extra to buy anything they want.
