Remnants

As requested. :)

A team mate and I were immersed in our own tasks when he mentioned this word: latak.

Unclear about what the word meant, I asked, "Latak? Ano ba yun?"

"what? Di mo alam? Remnants. Pag uminom ka ng milk yun yung natitira. Like A, B and C are lataks of team X," he answered.

"Ang sama mo, that's not a good way to put it," I remarked at his example.

He just chuckled and went on with his work.

Ok. So maybe I'm digressing here. But from what I see, remnants can be the worst things. Especially when you didn't stir well to begin with. The flavor sits at the bottom, and when the cup dries up, it'll be difficult to wash the remnants away.

And when you're about to drink, it dawns on you that there are still leftovers sitting at the bottom. Yuck. They leave a bad taste in the mouth, don't they?

There's nothing to drink. But I see the remnants, and I don't know how to wash them away.
