OC's rules

[avpoohlar]

Thank you all for your patience... soon, will email you parts of the manual.

Actually, I just have to take out some of the details or photos that make it easy to "connect the dots"  LOL to me.. It isn't me that has issues with this... it is my Atchi.... (LOL, i told her:  Why should we care  when we all here are  anonymous?  Actually, the only thing I care about here is that I do not go into a situation of "the blind leading the blind", or intentionally being rude.    )

Thank you all for your patience... soon, will email you parts of the manual.

ako rin sis aquacharly. would like to ask din for a copy of your manual. i've been reading your posts on this thread, big help ka talaga sis. thanks

[candyzire]

[applec16]

[ags]

Pls add me as well. 

I PM'd you as soon as I read your first post (p.1).  Didn't realize until reading everything na madami pa din pala humihingi.

TIA.

Thanks Aquacharly for your comments. I am also planning to add a recipe for each so husband can also cook them.

So far so good naman ang aming first week menu. Good luck to me sa pag-balanse ng office work at household chores. It's the price to pay for living overseas. Isang dakilang tsimay ako kaya kelangan i have to learn to execute it with less effort as if it's next to my skin. Ang hirap!

sali ako sa thread na ito so i can learn to be more organized 

[aquacharly]

The advantage of living abroad -- LALEI, is that husbands readily help out.  Dito sa Pinas, hay buhay, most of them are so senorito.

It is also not as dusty in the US/Europe as it is here.  I have also wondered why most here cannot move as fast, and move solo as what service people do in say teh US or HK/Singapore. 
My husband was watching the solo server at an ice cream stall at the Caesar's Forum in Vegas once... he said wow!  He got the orders, cashiered and cleaned up the counter, hardly ever stopping. 

Dito kadalasan, grrr!  you waste half the time waiting for people to get their act together, or even just to move their buttz

[tiggerlily]

^ pwede rin ba akong makahingi ng copy ng manual? i have something like that na rin but i feel it's not as OC as yours. it needs more revision pa.

i'm lucky my husband chips in when it comes to house chores. it's not always the result that i wanted pero i've learned to lower my expectations. it's really a no-no for me na hindi equal ang guys and girls. kahit ano pa yan dapat equal di ba?

i've always wanted to be independent as in walang househelp. but it's really hard when you're working full time and have a baby. sometimes i feel like i don't want to sleep na lang just to finish everything. now, i try to finish chores the easiest, quickest and economical way. i try to find shortcuts and tricks for chores. like in dishwashing i just rinse the knife with water if it's just used for slicing calamansi or just rinse the plates if it's just used for sandwiches. it's not as perfect but it would do lalo na that i'm trying to save on time.

oh, maybe i shouldn't be posting in forums anymore... NOT!

i forgot na where ko nabasa o who told me pero may kinalaman daw sa weather ang pagiging "kinda" tamad ng pinoys.. don't know lang if it's true ha

kaaliw naman this thread.it really inspires me be an OC kahit slight lang haha.this has been my newyears resolution for 4 years.lol and so far di pako nakaka start.

aquacharly, i'd love to see your manual too.. TIA

[prettygurl00001]

Hi sis aquacharly, been reading this thread for quite some time na. Nakakatuwa kasi mga tips mo, sobrang organized ka with everything, sana magawa ko rin. Sis may i have a copy of your manual too? Nakakatuwa ka, andami-dami mong ideas, hindi ka nauubusan.

[greenpease05]

so far ako ang di ko nalang nagagawa sa manual ko eh yung menu for the week kasi di pa madalas umuuwi si hubby dito kaya okay pa ko sa kung ano ang niluluto ng mga kasama ko sa house.

Pero ang itinuturo ko ngayon sa cook is yung mga menu na gusto ni hubby. ayaw kasi nun ng pauilit ulit gusto nya may variation.  I'm also trying to teach my cook  how to cook thai food.

May time kasi na kami ni hubby di lumalabas at mahilig mag dine out so kahit sa bahay nalang sana makakain pa rin kami ng foreign variant di ba? less gastos pa. hehe!

sis aquacharly parang ganito dinba yung sayo?

[super bratinella]

Super OC ko most specially if I am going to have my period kahit dust na walang malay sa isang tabi napapansin ko. Hayy!

[brownpinay]

HI mga sis, I found this blogsite na may house manual na tagalog :

http://www.themrsg.com/search/label/Household%20Manual

Hope this helps...

[hunny_ally]

when I started working I stayed with my aunt who lives near my office. I swear super OC. these are the things that rubbed off on me:

- anything that's out of place is consider a kalat. if you left a book on top of your bed, thats kalat
- all of the shirts are hanged by color. her and her husband's closet looks like a shelf from a high end department store.
- when using sugar, make sure you use a clean spoon so that you dont leave traces of coffee (or juice). this ensures that it remains white.
- then after using the sugar, make sure that you leave it levelled off. as in dapat pantay ang sugar. same thing with the coffee and creamer
- when using the toothpaste, you should squeeze from the end of the tube and not from any other place.

grabe ang powers ni sis aquacharly! minsan may pagka OC rin ako pero kadalasan inaatake ng katamaran.

kayo ba mga sis, how do you schedule your cleaning/organizing each zone of the house? like how often do you clean the comfort room, masters bedroom, porch/terrace, etc. we are actually based in the Middle East, and i have a part time maid... i just want her to be productive & efficient at the end of the day. wala kasi nag reply sa thread ko, and so glad i found this thread naman.

[angeleigh]

how do u maintain your underware drawers in order?? syempre diba ang liliit ng panties, lalo kung tbacks. Tapos yung mga bra, pano ninyong tinutupi? Do you have an organizer for this? Where to buy?
