(actually, it's already Friday)
Whew! Just finished doing laundry.
For more than a week now, I have been living alone: cooking, cleaning, paying the monthly dues, the works! Mama is at Bulacan and I am left in charge to take care of myself and the house… and four goldfishes and mama’s orchids. The orchids haven’t been much that of a trouble, just water them, talk to them occasionally and pat them a little, and they’re fine. But unfortunately, that doesn’t go for the goldfishes. I made a separate entry for that and you can check it below later.
As I was saying, I have been living alone for more than a week now. And it’s amazing how old you can get in less than 14 days. When you are made to act as an adult, you become one. It’s more than you now. Well strictly speaking, it’s still about you. But living alone puts you on the spot to be responsible for those things that normally would be the business of your parents. Like feeding you, clothing you, comforting you when things seem to be amiss. Now, you are forced to think and act like an adult. No more whining. No more waking up at 12 noon and expecting food in the table. No more mamaya na unless you want to have your electric supply cut-off because you went past due on your bills. And when you encounter something that you don’t know like how many times you should rinse jeans as compared to shirts or how much time it will take to cook bulalo, you are forced to figure it out by yourself. You get to learn the right way the hard way.
Now, I see how people like JJ, RC, DA and CK can be so independent.

How can i possibly not relate to this fortunate little entry? i used to be left alone at home as well and i can definitely say i'm proud of myself when my parents don't say anything when they come back. Things like... "ang dumi dumi nman ng bahay!" or "wala kang ginagawa dito tapos di ka man lang naghugas ng pinggan!"
Honestly, doing household chores in my case is not mainly for purposes of getting compliments, rather they are to keep them from complaining and eventually waking up the whole neighborhood.
