Wash and Wear

Because we don’t own a washing machine, we bring our laundry to the laundromat. Bringing our clothes to the cleaners is H’s task. He’s there so often that he’s developed a good relationship with the employees. The few times I’m there I enjoy the cold airconditioning combined with the scent of fabric conditioner. So cozy! We like the way they clean and press our clothes. See how orderly they are? And man, I love the place’s name. Imagine calling them to have your laundry delivered and hearing a voice on the other end of the line answer, “Hello! Let’s Talk Dirty!” Heehee. It makes me giggle all the time.

    Ah talaga. Mas convenient nga yan. Eh how many times naman kayo mag pa laundry in a week. Me kc, I do our laundry once a week (with the help of our wahing machine,syempre) and I do the pressing na ren. Eventually, I love doing the laudry kc I love playing with the water pero I hate the pressing. :(

    Hey, the place’s name is cool ha 😀

    hopefully, we’d have a similar place nearby that we can trust, where Jojo and I will live… for heaven help me, i really doubt i’d do our laundry… and it will be the end of the world before he does it for us 😀

    diane: true!

    linnor: Mahal ang laundry dito. Mga 35/kilo tapos separate cost ang pressing — per piece!

    jojo: Hahaha hindi naman.

    mec: Yea you gotta find one you can trust. Ito kasing branch na ‘to subok na namin so di kami nagpapalaba somewhere else.

    just another creative way to add humor (tongue-in-cheek, though it may be) to mundane tasks such as doing the laundry. yes, that scenario would be quite funny. makes me wonder if customers lose their composure when they call the laundromat for the first time.

    I wonder how many people decide on ‘talking dirty’ instead of just the usual lavanderia?!

    Hehehe. Reminds me of Petal Attraction – this flower shop near UP Village. Linnor – I pay 25 per kilo for mine and then for every 5 kilos, 1 kilo free. 65 for the press but you get P 5 back if you return all the hangers.
