Up For A Good Laugh Anyone ?





Been long waiting for a school holiday to come, and finally it's here, figured I could used of a good rest during the school break and all, do some clearing-shit-out-of-my-closet. (mind you not that they are dirty and all) but I need to get rid of something and perhaps wash something. But some unfortunate incident arises when I got a call from my aunt, sounding all alarming that they have to admit my grandma to the hospital bla bla.

My grandma is terminally ill and it has been hell of a week arranging this and that, I could not any busiest as I am right now. Enduring a lot of tension, pressure you name it, I have it. Along side with Pita needs to get her teeth fixed, gum surgery bla bla...don't ask !

Two weeks of a school holds had gone in a snap, for I have not gotten what-needs-to-be-done, done. But what the heck, I'll try squeezing my time to the max, by doing what I got to do in the day and leave the rest in the evening, that would usually right after 10 o'clock. Boo well yea that's life I guess. You know what they say about, do not do something when you are overly tired ? you might end up messing things up? well it applies in this manner...LOL.


Was rearranging my closet one evening, after coming back from visiting my grandma. Replacing the dehumidifier (moisture absorber) *note : if you don't know what that is look it up* I am just too lazy to details them out. I do replace them every 3 weeks or so, be it in the closet or shoe cabinet. Then I saw a few bags was greeting me by showing their faces. Thinking to myself, well I guess I need to find a proper place for them. Blame myself for being a shorty, I try pulling them out from the top shelving without a good leverage you can now imagine what happen next... everything were on the floor naturally. I sat on the floor while sorting out a certain bag, some need sun bathing, then some need washing, then got this specific bag out of the sleeper bag. after storing it for so long it has a sort of smell or rather musty odor, bag has turning it's color from off white to yellowish . Common sense say I need to give the bag a real good wash, or rather try restoring it to it's former glory.

You know I ain't smart or wise at all, on the contrary I am quite stupid. For I have not though of the leather trimming around the logo could possibly bleed. Can't blame me tho, coz I tried washing one bag of the same brand before and the result was pristine. but I was wrong of this specific ones.


Now let's take a look and if you are being unhappy right now, this might give you a good laugh.





This was the one I washed before, still in a
very good condition, smelling all fresh and
clean.




This is what happen when you do not read the
product labels before washing..... then again who would
have though the freaking logo will bleed....arghhh



Bahahahahaha..... how's that... for a smart ass..




I toss the bag into the washer, wash it in the cold delicate cycle, and ta daa... genius !! I was laughing so hard when I got the bag out of the washer... Geezz what a Prada. 1st I went LOL..then follow by hmmm...then lastly...I realized well... guess there isn't much I can do right now, I should just take a shower and go to bed, will deal with it tomorrow.


For the following few days before the school holds ended, I was really busy and all, but came home and saw the bag hanging there, figured well maybe I could try washing it again this time with Shout Color Catcher (again look it up) hehehe.... but to no luck.. the same result, nothing more and nothing less. Pita keep saying " well, maybe you should just get a new purse". yet again I let it lie around will fix it later. For you don't already know, I don't give up easily. because I keep thinking, hey this is a BAG, and there is NO WAY I can't resolve this color transfer thingy.

Finally, here is the result after last night with me cracking my head, mixing this and that together, heaps of blotting later... and..... FUYOOOOOOOOOO... I could not be any smarter....ahahahahaha........










How about that? well the end result was not all perfect but I am satisfy !!
