I have a secret. I love clean­ing bath­rooms. Back in the Jesuit Novi­tiate, bath­rooms are called JAKES (that’s stuff of Philip­pine Jesuit folk­lore); and it was one of the dreaded man­u­alia assign­ments. But it’s not a prob­lem if I was assigned there.

Now that I have a condo unit, I’m in charged on clean­ing the bath­room myself. My sis­ter takes care of every­thing else in the house (well, the cook­ing and the tidy­ing up of the kitchen), but the bath­room is my king­dom. It’s not a fetish, it’s just some­thing I love doing.

I now have a microwave, which was part of the “kitchen show­case” I received when I referred a friend to my real estate bro­ker. I tried to clean it once but had a hard time doing it, until I found this arti­cle. I’m shar­ing this to you in the hope that you will have an eas­ier time than I had before I found this article.

Leo Babauta of Zen­Hab­its gives us a list of the best way to have super fast web brows­ing. And it’s not about adding on to the inter­net, it’s about unclut­ter­ing and min­i­mal­ism so that you can do what you really want to do with­out all the clut­ter and the bells and whistles…

Unclut­ter­ing is one of the best things that have ever hap­pened in my life. I’ve been try­ing to unclut­ter my life the past year and the results have been steadily improv­ing the other parts of my life as well.
