She is so frivolous, she reminds me of…
A really quirky Girl Friday, with all the irreverence and spunk of Maria of the Sound of Music. I think her stories just brim with life and would really give you a respite from your heavy workday burdens.
Francesca in France is the blog of an aide of a wealthy French dignitary? Ambassador? Well, from her tales, it seems like she’s working for filthy rich people. 🙂
But nevermind the details. I think Francesca in France is a refreshing blog, filled with irreverent jabs at the horror-of-the-house, the mean, imposing Butler.
Come and partake of Francesca’s stories while you purposely close all your work windows and just focus on Francesca’s life, stories, brand of mischief and humor, and be taken far, far away from your stacks of paperwork and to-dos, and into her posh world amongst French finery… And Butler’s bumbles. :p
Excerpts from Francesca in France:
Anyway, today, our Boss gave Butler: A Fila jacket(made in China nga lang daw sabi niya.) {It was just made in China, according to him}
I told him,its a nice gift, at least hindi yung galing sa points on buying petrol on gasoline station, hehe.Or from grocery points… (..at least not the type that was bought from discount points gotten from buying petrol in the gasoline station, hehe.)
Girls, meron kasing ganun eh. (Girls, there are things like those here eh.)Or some, give gifts, galing din sa exchanged gifts from previous parties. (Or some give gifts that were also from exchanged gifts from previous parties)
Or, if may gift na ayaw ng Madame, ibabalot uli, and give it to their employees. (Or if there is a gift that Madame doesn’t like, it’s wrapped again and given to their employees.)I saw once, a dress, so awful cut, that my (previous)Boss told me to bring to a gift shop to have it wrap nicely, to give it to the tutor of her son, Lol!
The postman arrived , gave the 2008 Calendar,and asked a gift from the Boss. Boss gave a 100€.
Butler showed it to me. Paasar ba! (He was trying to irritate me!)
I told to the postman: The Boss gave you 200€ but Butler pocketed half of it…
Ang deny ni Butler,grabeh, lol (And Butler denied it vehemently, atrocious, lol!)
Sama tingin ng postman sa kanya, haha. (The postman sent a dagger look his way, haha.)
Loko ka, painggitin mo ako, I put you in trouble, hehe. (You fool, you’re trying to make me envy you, here, I’ll put you into trouble, hehe)
Hinabol ako ni Butler when he returned! (Butler chased me when he returned)
Lapit nga ako sa room where the Boss is,hihi. (So I went near the room where the Boss is, hihi)
Hanap ako refuge ba. (Just seeking refuge.)
