I Have Two Hands

I bought Calidad Trio ink cartridge refilling stuff for black and color cartridges tonight at Sta. Lucia East. I thought I would actually save money by getting them instead of geniune Epson ones. See, it doesn't matter if I spend a wee bit doing it if it could save me some good $20. I could spend that on more important things, like CD-Rs and foot scrubs. So I got down to business, and I so regret I ever bought that stupid thing.

I know. I made a little mistake. I forgot to wear disposable gloves. Disposable RUBBER gloves.

My hands look like dalmatians right now. Covered in freaky black spots, and seem to have done a lot of dirty work and never had the chance to get washed with a nicely scented hand scrub, they swear never to do ink cartridge refilling again. They almost look like they just have been used for voting for Fernando Poe, Jr., but they totally speak of otherwise. I sure am adding this one to Ninety-something tips: Always buy genuine printer ink cartridges. Now I'm gonna have to wait for like a week for the spots to vanish, my hands to return to it's natural colors, and get rid of the I've-got-two-dalmatians-for-hands impression. I so thank god for not giving me super fair skin.

"There's no harm in trying" doesn't apply to everything. Now I know. And I've come to know it the hard way.
