18. Laundry business

Tinatamad ka na bang maglaba?
Na-uubos na ba ang iyong balat sa kakakuso?
Allergic ka ba sa detergent bar or powder?
Wala ka bang oras para sa paglalaba?
Wala ka bang washing machine?
Kung yes ang sagot mo, ay magpalabada ka na lang.


the shop

Kahapon, naisipan kong i-5S ang aking room, changed everything, bed sheets, pillow covers, and curtains, clean everything from top of cabinets and under my bed, and arranged everything from books to dresses. After ng 5's thing, i observed ang gatambak na labahan sa aking laundry basket. Nyah!...mostly malalaking tela pa talaga like curtains and bed covers. Since wala kaming washing machine, i plan to make babad the things and then kunting remedy, banlaw at then sampay agad. But when i looked again the size ng sheets ...di ko ata ito kakayanin.

ang aking mess

I immediately placed those things in a bag, and then i went directly to laundry shops. But before pa ako maka-alis, my housemate informed me that laundry shops have different charging for bed sheets. Nevertheless, i decided to continue since im really too lazy to do the washing myself. First, i went to somewhat class na laundry shop, but when they checked the bed sheet, they charge me P200 per piece. What? P200? tapos 3 bed sheets ang dala ko, then i would pay them P600, kung ganung, bibili na lang ako ng bagong bed cover. Then i decided to go to the next shop, and doon, they charge me P50.00 per sheet and P50.00 rin para sa apat na kumot.

habang nililista ang aking babayaran

at dahil nakatipid ako, pinalaba ko sa kanila ang mga dala-dala kong things. Then kung gusto ko raw ng dry-and-fold, ay may extra P30 pa akong babayaran. Pumayag na rin ako kasi ayaw ko talagang labhan ang mga bedsheets. Thinking na nakadiscount ako, i paid P180.00 for the entire job.

ang aking nabayaran

and then i went home with a big smile on my face.. yes!.. pinalabhan ko na and after a day good as new na ang aking bed sheets and covers. But then, when i finally reached home, my housemate inform me, willing daw labhan ng labandera nya ang aking mess for P150.00. Naman!.. too late!.. kainis... but then, on the brighter side, makukuha ko na after 1 day ang aking mess... and if hihintayin ko ung labandera nya, hintay pa ako ng sunday. so ok n rin.
