i did the laundry today

I've decided to do the laundry today.

You may find it funny but it was my first time to ever use a washing machine...haha

"Okay, okay how does this work? hmmm"

I learned to wash my own clothes back in college. We were on our on-the-job training here in Laguna.

It was kind of embarrasing.

"Frae, are you done? Nagbabanlaw ka na ba?"

"No, I just started. Why? Am I doing it wrong?"

"Ummm, Frae, I think you put too much water. Di na bumubula." he said, suppressing a laugh.

"Oh. haha..." red-faced me.

My guy classmate was actually observing me the whole time. Oh, how I wanted to throw myself into the labador...huhuhu

This time it was no different. No, I think it was worse. Yeah, it was...

Ok, I have managed to learn how to work the machine. So it was like WASH-DRAIN-RINSE-DRAIN and so on.

I was on to my 2nd rinse when Super Me destroyed the faucet causing the water to spray everywhere.

"OH NO!!! MOMMY!!!"

It was JM this time who came to the rescue. So embarassing...

"Frae may super strength ka ata."

Well at least I have learned my lesson... and I had fun.

You might be wondering why I've decided to do the laundry when it was already late at night and was raining out.

I've decided to do the laundry today.

'Coz his words made me sad.

I didn't want to cry and feel bad.

Well it sure did the job of making me laugh (at myself).

I wish it were just as easy to wash away

the words that have been spoken...

the pain that it have caused...

and the words that have been left unspoken.
