This caught my attention. Hundred percent natural sunscreen for babies? Why not! We want nothing but the best for our little tykes. It's available at the Beauty Bar. This is up for grabs at Beauty Bar stores nationwide. Check out the online store for more Baby Bee products. 

My Most Prized Possession

For the 60th entry which is "one of my most prized possessions", I'll be sharing mine--a Hewlett-Packard Pavilion G Series Laptop. I got the one with a 17" screen in violet. It was around P40,000 when my mother bought it as a birthday present in July 2011 but these days you can get one for not more than P30,000. Up until now, mine is working perfectly fine!

Who's Say?

Day 60: a YouTube video you absolutely love and describe why

Hi! I feel good this weekend. I just love Saturdays. And I feel a bursting energy right now that I would like to start writing about my favorite YouTube video. Honestly, I don't watch the trending videos even if they are talk-of-the-town. I'm not just interested. I only have nine subscriptions which are all beauty tutorials. I don't even watch all their latest vids. I only watch Say Artillero's VLOGS (Video Blogs) when I have the luxury of time. Here's one:

As I know, she's a UST student and freelance makeup artist. When I feel like doing so, I also visit her page. I like her, you know. I find her confident and beautiful. And I like the fact that she's very natural even on her video blogs.

My Two Cents on Kasambahay Law

With the price of milk and diapers nowadays, I have to admit my online job is not enough to help with the monetary needs. So I was planning to apply for a call center job. I don't know if the job will suit me. I can follow instructions, I can speak clearly but I can't decide whether applying for a call center job will be a good option or not. My biggest concern is leaving Jairus. With this, I'm thinking of looking for a yaya. But with the kasambahay law (which will I discuss later on), I'm actually having my second thoughts of getting a yaya.

Yaya should get basic education and training. It's the employer's obligation to let the yaya finish basic education or vocational training. How about those kasambahays from the province who haven't finished high school but do not want to pursue either? And the main reason why I get yaya is to have someone look after my son while I am working so if she studies, what's the purpose of employing her?

There should be a contract. Let's admit it, it's okay to have some formalities but not at all times. We used to have yayas before and I grew up with domestic helpers since my mom was working daytime. But our yayas never signed any contract. For us, it's common sense and human instinct to show our concern to our helpers even without those formalities. They have their rest days and they eat what we eat. On the other hand, a contract will be advantageous to both of us so I don't worry about it so much.

Social and other benefits. As an employer, I will be responsible for providing her with SSS, Pag-Ibig, and PhilHealth benefits. That would cost me P800 a month exclusive of the minimum wage which is P2,500. As a mother, P800 is already something.

You can't just fire her. The law says you can only fire your yaya if she does something unlikely "habitually". So if I caught her spanking my child once or twice, I still have no right to fire her? According to the law, I should only warn her. That will be unfair on the part of the parent. 

These are just the basic of kasambahay law. Actually these are just the things that concern me so far. Hopefully, I'll be able to get a better-off yaya in case I finally decided to get one.
