OC's rules

[greenpease05]

korek, and each has its own pouch ha maganda. =)

[kaiz]

^color coding pa. i wonder pano niya na mememorize kung san nakalagay ang hinahanap niya sa dami ng pouches niya. okay lang sana kung each pouch has a label.. sa kanya colors lang ang tinatandaan

[greenpease05]

hihiih! nasa memory yan sis. Pag nakasanayan mo na nadun nilalagay ang gamit mo  eh mabilis mo na matatandaan. unconsiously you already know kung ano ang dadamputin mong pouch. hihih!

basta wag mo lang pag palit palitin ang laman ng mga pouches. =)

[Frenzied]

korek, and each has its own pouch ha maganda. =)

all prada!

i think gretchen baretto is kinda oc too. saw her interview at snn and all her things are organized. the maliliit pa na things are naka ziplock

I do not think she has a better memory nor is more orderly than us all.
For an interview about 4 years ago --  she said that in the household she shares with Tonyboy eh meron silang Upstairs and Downstairs mais.  hahaha -- fancy way to say may kanya kanyang trabaho ang mga katulong.

And that she has 2 yayas for herself, she has 2 people taking care of her personal stuff too.  Parang Princess Diana di ba?

Atchaka hindi ba noong nagka roon ng common commercial sila Dawn, Gretchen and Rufa eh nagkapikunan and Dawn was the common kaaway?  Kasi nagreklamo sya sa dami ng gamit at dami ng alalay ni Gretchen during the shoot?  Eh hindi ba we were treated to a running commentary from Gretchen kung ilan ang alalay niya at bakit may dala pa syang microwave?  LOL

Some people get satisfaction from generating envy from other people.  hwag tayo makisama sa mga envious.  LOL

Going back, OT man -- eh di nga the 2 ganged up on Dawn.
O -- i am a fan of all 3 lovely ladies ha -- nothing makes me admire people than those who are not hypocrites and go 100% after whatever it is they want out of life...
going back sa OT na ito -- eh Karma went into play after when nagkaproblema si Gretchen with her kissing Estrada and also, nagka problema si Ruffa with ilmaz and her being battered wife.  O, turn naman noong 2 na ma write up nang hindi maganda about their "charmed"  lives.

hay naku, live and let live nga.  Better, live and let die.  LOL

ako naman nung nagtransfer na kami ng house ni hubby..
selected clothes lang talaga dala ko in case i need something
uwi muna ako ng house..
i really have to be organized kasi small lang place namin..

[Gumdrop]

It's kind of hard to be OC around people who keeps dirtying up the place.

If you can easily inspire someone..

^my dad is kinda OC sis. my mom is the makalat. so my dad is OC sa things lang niya, hindi na niya pinapakialaman yung pag aayos ng mom ko kasi mapapagod lang siya sa kakasabi paulit ulit

[kaiz]

^hahaha. same tayo sis, love ko na din si sis aquacharly. galing eh noh? pati sa matters of the heart 

[chinita8]

this is a fun thread  i am a certified OC myself .... my rule of thumb, "put it back where you got it from, or else!" ... 

[tiger_hunt]

I'm OC in a way that it bothers me when the toilet paper goes under instead of over. Or when the utensils I'm using are not the same. Or when the toothpaste is pressed right in the middle. Or when a certain tab/sheet in MS Excel is not set in the same font style/size as the rest of the workbook. (Okay, fine. It also annoys me when the row sizes are not uniform. It should always be at 15 and middle-aligned.) In the office, I'm the Queen of sub-folders. My desktop has one icon and only because I can't get rid of the recycle bin. -.-

eto to make your OC desktop complete, read this ayaw ko rin kasi ng may icon yung dektop ko

natawa ako sa yo sis, esp. about your ref. anyway, ang sipag mo naman.

MOMMIE ME, I do not get maids who have just arrived from the province.  Sa tingin ko may culture shock pa yan, eh ayokong ako ang ma shock while they get used to our gadgets, possessions and lifestyle.  I get maids who have done service for at least 2 years in a house and in a village similar to my house and my village.  That way, ang focus na lang is on the helper maintaining our standards. Pag naka 2 years na kasi, IMO, na break-in na.  Hindi iyong kami mag break-in tapos ang dami din nyang break na gamit namin. 

With helpers, you have to train them accdg to a procedure.  Kelangan may orderly game plan ka and equip the helper with complete tools and supplies.  Tapos, you have to repeat your procedure/game plan for several times, under your supervision until ma gets nya and you are confident susundan ka na nya.  Do not trust that they will think like you. That will seldom happen.  Focus on breaking down a task into small steps na ang focus nila is to move from Step 1 to Step 2, etc etc.

Any new maid I orient well with my rules.
May 2 week trial period kami.  The 2 weeks gives me time to see if she can fit into my household, if she can live with our standards.  Sya naman she has that time to decide if she wants to serve Hitler and family.  LOL.

If a maid does not come around to your way in 2 weeks -- dispatcha mo na  Better no maid than one that lowers our standards, causes low morale kasi the others maiinis din  with her, or one that kinaiinisan mo. 
Better to hire a maid that costs almost like 2 maids in terms of wages, than naiinis ka magka highblood ka pa, mas mahal patanggal ng wrinkles.

i super agree with you aquacharly.  dapat naman talaga yung maid ang nag aadjust hindi amo.  naiilang kasi ako sa MIL ko everytime I train my new maid/yaya.  Pro katulong kasi yun.  Kaya naiispoil ang katulong dahil sa kanya, kasama namin kasi sa house MIL ko.  kaya di krin nagtatagal maid sa bahay dahil im not comfy to deal with them tapos abuso sa MIL ko.  better wala na lang akong maid para wala na kong burden to deal with them. 

in this way, mas satisfied pa ko how i clean and organize our stuff. 

[jobelle1984]

yup sis ganun talaga ako,problem ko tuloy ngayon yung hands ko kase super dry na kakabasa and nababad sa water kahit pa mag lolotion ako..OT ata,

[m_lim]

pano nga ba maging malinis kung mga kasama mo sa bahay eh mga madudumi.

i honestly hate our dogs. kalat ang pagkain. ihi ng ihi kahit saan. gusto ko na nga sakalin my sister for buying that dog!

sa isa lang pala ako bwiset kasi yung 2, naka kulong naman.

[Gumdrop]

^Hehe that's my problem nga eh. It's not easy to just talk to them kasi it's their lifestyle na.

[mikelly]

this is like a therapy and being productive as well.

 BTW, 1 trait of OCs is being close-minded (1 reason it is hard to treat them).  Well, some of us "OCs" here are far from being that since we share and learn from each other.

totoo yan, my mom is like that, close-minded.  OC din kasi siya, as in hindi nagpapahinga when it comes to household.  hindi rin makikinig sa yo pag pinagsabihan mo.. hay..
