just thinking about it
makes me smile outside
and
makes me sob inside

Is hot, Hot, HOT today. Temperature reaching to a max of 33 degree Celsius. The sun rays almost killed everyone on the street today. I could feel myself getting cooked under the scorching sun. Hope the weather will be cooling for the rest of the week. At least rain a little.

Was supposed to post what happened at my friend's place yesterday, but it was kind of late (1 am) when I got home from his place. The first thing I wanted to do was to shower and sleep for the entire week. Well, not exactly the entire week but a full day or 2. You cannot imagine how difficult it was to remove the wallpapers of his room. OK, I admit I was the itchy finger to begin with the peeling, but I didn't know it will be that tiring after the whole thing. The stress and fatigue sipped in after everything was removed nicely. Maybe after reading through the steps we took to remove the wallpapers then you'll understand what we all have been through.

Steps to removing wallpaper from the wall:
1. Spray or sponge warm/hot water over the wallpaper and let it soak for a while.
2. Pick a corner to start peeling the first layer of the wallpaper which has the patterns/shapes/designs/ drawings on it. While doing so, someone of you may experience irritation as the layer tears.
3. When the first layer is removed, the wallpaper leaves its adhesive layer which glues the first layer to the wall. Here's your next mission.
4. Sponge the adhesive layer with lots of water (hot/warm) and let it soaked. Imagine you're washing the wall.
5. Now, use a scrapper and begin scrapping the adhesive off from the wall. Note: You need people with strength and a lot of patience and perseverance. Your room will be very, very messy.
6. The whole process of removing the wallpapers for the room will take approximately 12 hours plus 2 hours of cleaning time.

We begin at 12:30 pm and ended at 1 am. Surprisingly, we somehow find strength to finish it and it was quite fun along the way. You don't get to do this everyday. God knows where we got the patience and power to accomplish the task, but we just did it. Like Emmanuel always says, "...because we are strong (especially mentally) we can move mountains". And I say, "God helps those who help themselves".

Just thinking about man Dad's invitation to do the master room if he finds us doing a great job brings fear and terror. Anyways, painting begins tomorrow. Hope it will be a breeze.

I'll never have wallpaper in my house.

Right now, I feel like sleeping for the entire week. Though tired and knowing the weather is so damn HOT, I went to gym. Almost wanted to sleep on the bench. I was hoping that I don't fall into sleep-exercising. Enjoyed the air condition anyways.
