Labor Day
I woke up at 8:30 today in panic. It’s a Monday and for some reason I thought I had missed my alarm or may have snoozed it again. But I caught up pretty fast and realized na ho-li-dayyy! Woohoo! (visualize the Chandler Bing dance) Yes! Wala trabaho!
I had a plan for this long weekend, I really did. Pero Lunes na and I still haven’t started anything on my list. For one, I have a huge pile of laundry waiting for me. My room is also waiting to be cleaned. A lot of reorganizing and redecorating needs to be done to accomodate my new (and bigger :P) bed. I had bought it 3 weeks ago and its been stuck in the garage. I have been sleeping on a mattress on the floor and dust has accumulated underneath it…uck! But I will get it cleaned up =)
Back home when I was much younger
, nanay would knock on our doors at 8am every Saturdays to get us started in cleaning our rooms. If I had slept in her bedroom that night, she would just pull the blanket off of me and start clearing the bed nga ara pa ako forcing me to be up. She would give me a silhig and bunot. I would then go back to my room, lock the door, lay in bed and use my other leg to scrub the floor. Although I was really sleepy, I made sure to make a scrubbing sound just enough for my mom to hear that I was actually doing something. Of course she knew I wasn’t. Maybe the long silent gaps in between scrubbing tipped her off. Panic would set in when she starts knocking on the door, calling me CHRISTINA(!) asking to inspect my room. I would only have 2 choices: to unlock the door myself or wait for the door to be unlocked right before my eyes. And that would be a very looong Saturday morning where I’d get lectured on how I could be a good mother and good wife etc…We had help in the house but nanay always made sure we knew how to do the chores.
Nowadays, I still get loving lectures from my mom pero sa phone na lg =P And I don’t get lazy that often anymore ha….
