Indelible Nonsense.

i probably have a hundred different things to tell you, but my tongue's too proud. some are angry words and accusations. most are wishful thinkings. well it's probably just the alcohol kicking in. but really, i miss you so much that i go to bed thinking of you and wake up in the morning, realizing that i'll never be yours ever again.

And I could still picture US out,

in your bright blue room,

lying on the floor,

you hugging me from behind my back,

me, smiling contentedly.

HOW TO WASH THE DISHES 101.

STEP 1: Strip the plates off of leftovers and food morsels. Place the same kinds of food in the same container. (e.g. rice with rice, soup with soup, viand with viand.)

STEP 2: INITIAL WASHING: This would moisten the utensils and would make it easier to remove the dirt. The dirt should be placed in another container (the so-called "damugan") and covered securely.

STEP 3: SOAPING. Observe the Clean-To-Dirty Method. The proper order should be:
a. glasses, cups, and drinking utensils.
b. spoons, forks, knives, silverware.
c. plates, food containers, chinawares.

WHY IS THIS SO? The glasses are the least langsa untensils, and so on.

STEP 4: FIRST BANLAW (RINSING). This is to get rid of the dirt and soap. Observe the same proper order with that in step 3.

STEP 5: FINAL BANLAW (RINSING). This is to make sure that there are no soap bubbles left from step 4.

STEP 6: Pots, frying pans and cooking utensils should be washed last.

STEP 7: After care. Make sure that the sink is clean and tidy.

IMPORTANT TIPS TO REMEMBER:
1. Excess oil used in frying COULD be reused. Place it in a separate oil container.
2. Soak cooking utensils with water and soap before washing the dishes. This would make it easier to remove the dirts that stick on the surfaces of pots and frying pans.
3. Use a wash basin ("labador") when washing the dishes to save water.
4. Keep the faucet closed when not in use.
5. Never use Scotch Brites and rough sponges when cleaning/soaping glasswares. As much as possible, use cloth and foam sponges.
6. Always rinse the sponges after use.
7. Water used every after rinsing could be used to flush the toilets.

Contrary to my folks' beliefs that I know nothing about household chores and housekeeping, I am telling you now: MASALIGAN KO SA SULOD BALAY.

"Every object remains in a state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an outside force."

This is also true with humans taunted by evil forces (i.e. mga taong walang magawa sa buhay at walang makitang guluhin kundi ikaw) while minding their own business.
