EN: is ironing
That Sunday night feeling when you realize you have nothing to wear for work tomorrow, kaya heto ka, nagpiplantsa at 11 PM. It's the chore that smells like steam and responsibility. The 'p' is duplicated (nag-pi-plantsa) to show it's a current, ongoing action.
From Spanish 'plancha' (iron).
