serve a palooza




"D timberland helpful souls"

we got a task last thursday and its call, " Serve a palooza". They always have such events to keep us occupied. Remember the last one was, event at Pertapis where we got to paint the venue, paint murals, draw hopscotch, change new beds, plant plants...etc.

however, this one is quite tedious. our group has got like 6 people and as what they mention, the more the ppl in a group, the household that you went might be: "bed-bugs academy, old and dirty, room pile with dirty clothes, its like, expect the WORST!"

but to the least, our nightmare did not arrive. the owner decided to go for a medical check-up and din want us to clean up his house. and yes, this event is to clean up old folks houses. Some of them are ill, most of them are old, unable to move and this add a heavy chore for them to clean and maintain their house in a 'live-able' environment. so our job is to clean their house, talk to them and make them feel happy and comfortable after the event. And we feel good as well, experiencing it is quite fruitful i thought. back to it, the second household was a 'bling bling'. not even a trace of dust. so happily, clean, mop the floor, touch up here and there.

well, the 3rd one was a true nightmare. din really wanted to mention the horrible place..it stinks and this old lady pee everywhere. get the idea? okie enough, so heres a pix where Coco and me carrying the newly bed to the old lady house..
and beware, her house is equiped with meat hooks, s-hooks, look so scary..
