I was awakened by my dad’s usual breakfast noise and found myself on a heap of garbage. As he head for work, he looked back at me, shook his head and said ‘maglinis ka naman.’ Me, blessed with an auto-retort function, held myself for once, cracked a smile and nodded. What a sunshine of a day. Fine, to save myself from my usual pondering of how the world sucks and keep everyone from reading another arguably flawed drama, I decided the inevitable, renovate-cleaning. So today, I changed the bedsheets, washed dishes (dishwasher got fixed! Boy am I glad) vacuumed and steamed the carpets, peeled thick layers of dust on every surface, did the laundry, mowed the lawn (not really…I’ll just mind-trim it for memory’s sake) washed my car because the blasted neighbor's cat left dirty pawprints and its not-so-appreciated ‘souvenirs’ at the back window (and I might vacuum the inside too). I sorted the DVDs, stacked the mini library alphabetically, boxed unused consoles (for a while) decided to leave the magic mic alone (just in case), and I sprayed every room with an air freshener that highly emphasized a breath of fresh air!

Surely, dear Dad, would think again whenever he accuses someone of being lazy…hmp! wait till he gets home and had that breath of fresh air.

And now, excuse me for I must retire to a newly steamed living room and have a cocktail or two OR we'll order something good. Acrobatic cleaning sure is worth all the bending.

I ordered pizza earlier. It really ruined my mood because I was expecting a nice treat. I hate thinking about giving away money and feeling ripped off at the end. So i wrote pizza hut a comment on their site. I mean, it upsets me to burn my hard earned cash. dont get me wrong.
