Undomesticated me

I grew up with lots of household help but I never really thought of myself as lazy, but i also am not a big fan of domestic work. I wash the dishes, I clean the house, but I detest ironing clothes and taking care of plants. See my philosophy is as follows: Get plastic plants if you want greens. My mother likes to have a lot of plants in the house but she is not there to take care of the plants so guess who gets to "water them stupid plants?". You guess it. I can't understand plants. You spend money to water them, to fertilize them, you spend hours and effort to trim them. It is not cost effective. Not to mention that I DISLIKE doing plant work. And they don't give you any satisfaction like say, giving dogs a bath. When you come home, plants don't greet you with wagging tails. Dogs do. Hence dogs deserve more love, and the more time you spend on plants, the less time you spend with dogs. Don't get me started on clingy whiny cats and why dogs are better. I know i know, Garfield would choke me to death if he were real.

Anyways, the reason I got into writing this stuff is that well, I, inadvertently, managed to ruin my best silk shirt in the washing machine. When i pulled it out, it was literally SHREDDED. Hmmm, i should just use this machine for all my documents. It took this genius a little while to figure out why - i left a big metal paper clip inside one of the pockets of the clothes I was washing which shredded my shirt.

I love cooking. Before i couldn't cook, well now I still couldn't cook, but it is the process that counts. Whatever, I'm the writer so i am justified if I say my food tastes like something that would launch a thousand ships... to the toilet. Anyhoo, after cooking up a storm - sinigang sa miso, monggo and adobo (soul foods) , i was left with pots and pans to wash. No problem. I washed them manually as hands are more efficient than a dish washer. When they were all rinsed, I had no place to dry them, so i thought of putting them in the dish washer to dry. Genius. When i opened the dishwasher, there was a small pool of stale water there so i decided i would clean it by putting detergent liquid into the dishwasher. I did not have any dishwashing liquid with me because I never planned on using the dishwasher save for drying my utensils. A few minutes later , bubbles were coming out of my dishwasher!!! What the freak? I've used dishwashers before but this was my first time to use. So in a very comedy movie/ this could only happen in sitcoms kind of way, i had to battle with foam inside my kitchen. Great way to spend the afternoon.

I'm perfect for clark kent.
