Clean House

Aris and I were so tired yesterday. Part of our holy week sacrifice was to clean our apartment. We've been swamped with school plus Aris's gigs that we had no time to really "clean" and "declutter" our place. So yesterday, we were on a mission. We started on the third floor and worked our way down.

My gosh! The dust on the floor and dustwebs on the corners of the ceiling were pretty scary. Haha! The room looked like a part of a haunted house. You could literally write your name on the floor from all the dust on it. Mopping the floor was like cleaning the inside of a squid. The moment I placed the mop on the pail with soap, the water almost instantly turned black! Hahaha! It's like squid ink. That's how dusty the floor was. I cannot believe how one room can accumulate so much dust in just a couple of months. LOL! So anyway, after 20 minutes of mopping the floor, I can see its normal color. Success!

The second and first floor was the same thing. Dust and paper were everywhere. We managed to arrange our school stuff and Aris's guitar and accessories. Our vacuum cleaner was working overtime and if only it could talk I'm sure it would tell us to clean the house because it kinda looked liked it was choking from all the dust that it's taking in. *Suck it up Severin!* Haha! At 7:00 p.m., we were beat. My hands are tired and my legs are throbbing. We were pretty satisfied with the results but we still have a long way to go. A couple of bins are still needed to contain our school clutter and Aris's CDs and DVDs.

Anyway, here are a few pics of the first floor of our apartment when it's clutter-free. :-) P.S. I am proud to say that I helped decorate this place. I am a frustrated interior designer. Haha!
