pintados

memorial day weekend... instead of slacking at home, hubby je and i found the handyman side of our selves.

inayos namin yung backyard fence na ni-vandalize ng kung sino mang walang magawa na yon. most of the work, si mister ang gumawa, i was there to help lang talaga. mainly because the work requires brute strength most of the time. pero yung mga maliliit na bagay, like magtanggal ng pako sa wooden pickets, kaya ko na yon. ako rin ang taga-abot ng screws, tagakuha ng tubig, taga-charge ng drill battery, taga-hawak ng wooden pickets pag ipapako na ulet sa main gate, at ako rin ang comic relief ni mister. he just loves provoking me, and my reactions are what he's after. he suggests one thing really stupid and acts like he's gonna do it, and of course my reaction is to stop him. by the time i realize he's just provoking me, my reaction gives me away na. =P needless to say, it took away the stress of the work from him, and transfers it to me. hehehe!

besides the "carpentry" work, nagpintura din ako. i did some touch-up work sa doors at door frames sa bahay. i'm so proud of myself, walang lampas! at walang tulo ng paint sa lapag! i realized i miss doing paint jobs. when my family were still living sa karapatan street, i get to help my folks in doing the paint job around the house. we have a looong terrace, and it has that iron grill, so there's really a lot of area to keep me busy. =)

i actually got my tropangB nickname (Bulwak) from an incident involving painting. i was busy painting the flower/plant boxes under our window, when the phone rang. nawala sa loob ko na may bintana sa area na yon. so pagtayo ko, ayun, tumusok sa bunbunan ko yung corner ng bintana. instantly, nahilo ako, but i ignored it and went on to answer the phone. i still remember it's edrie on the other end of the line, and i also remember telling him something like "tawag ka ulet, dumudugo ulo ko, nauntog ako sa bintana eh".... hehehehe! and on my way to the bathroom, i saw myself in the mirror, all bloody like those victims in massacre movies. thick blood oozing from my head, trickling down my forehead, nose, ears, neck, even eyes, and onto my shirt. i swear i could pass for a halloween character then. hehehe! if i went out to the streets, i could scare the kids in my neighborhood. =P

ahhh, painting. i wish there's more chance for me to do that pag nakakuha na kami ng bahay. not that i wish the house will NEED paint, but that we could design it to fit our taste... maybe paint an entire room psychedelic orange. yeah, that might work... choose the room facing the east and paint it like that. in the morning, it'll glow like the morning sun. hehehe!

in the meantime, coloring book na lang muna ako. =P i love the smell of Crayola crayons. =)
