" Beauty. "
Just came back from school and the moment I stepped onto the weighing machine, I was so happy :) Heehee. Lost another kg! But anyways, that is not the point :P I'm going to post about the random itty bitty things that happened over the course of these few days.
First stop, what my Baby said a few days ago really got me thinking. On our way home together, Baby mentioned something about feeling as if the both of us are a newly-wed couple - a couple who starts off with nothing in their lives except for each other, a couple whom both are working hard for the happiness of both parties etc. Now that I think of it, it really does seem true, I mean granted that I am still a student, I know of couples who got married when one of them is still schooling in Uni. And yes, they had nothing to start off with as well. The idea seems quite scary actually, that is why I told Baby so many times that I rather graduate and get a good, well-paid, stable job and probably after earning a proper income for about 3 years will I then feel more secured to finally get married, unless of course if my fiancee is already a millionaire by then, I would not have to worry about buying a new house etc. Still on the topic of newly-weds, I probably want a simple wedding, one that is not too complicated with the programs, details etc. Just have a beautiful hotel, a formal dinner, and yes partying after dinner - these all work well for me. But of course, I am not thinking of marriage right now, considering how hard I've to work to get into a good university. So yes, I'm studying hard not only for myself, but for my family and my Baby :)
This second issue is something really really funny. Ever since Baby started living with me, I've noticed how drastic my room had changed to accommodate him. First of all was my wardrobe - I had to clear out half of my clothes (throw them away/give to salvation army) so that he has enough space for his clothes. Next would be the space for his miscellaneous items, such as his bags, his shoes, his stationaries etc. He has this HUGE luggage which he uses to shift from his friend's house to mine, and seriously, it is HUGE. The moment you step into my room, you will definitely see it smack right there! And he has this another huge long rectangular box under my table which is like SUPER HEAVY. He practically stuffs all his not-frequently-used items there, and who can forget his CHEER bag. Hahaha inside this particular bag contains all his past Cheerleading uniforms when he was in Gusto. He really does treasure his times in Gusto :) So well, I guess I can give way to that. Haha :P Continuing my topic, my table last time was only big enough to accommodate my stuff, and I have a lot of stuff, but two people cannot squeeze into using my table, so we had to buy another table. Baby loves those low tables where you have to sit on the floor to use the table, something like a Japanese tatami, of course there is no heater under the table for mine, but yea you get the point. So we went to IKEA to search for it and found it. It so happens that I'm too short to use the table, so we bought lots and lots of pillows to cushion my bottom and give me a boost. Which brings me to my point where Baby also bought a carpet where he sleeps on it every night. Slowly, I found myself sleeping on the carpet with him too because it was SUPER comfortable ... even though my dad bought a new bed for me and my maid :P Baby also thought that having a white board was super awesome, so we got one and pasted on the wall where we put up some of the important notices etc. And he also conquered the top shelf of my book-shelves so that he can put his Gundam figurines there .. and yes my stuff ended up on the floor next to the boxes of shoes ..... D: Gosh. On the other hand, you know what? I kind of enjoy all of these changes happening in my life! I mean now my room looks so much cooler than last time, and it seems more homely for all that matters :D So thank you Baby for the wonderful changes you have made in my life, both physically and emotionally.
Well, another issue I would to share is that I am utterly amazed at how much I can actually save ... If you know me well, you should know how much a shopaholic I am. I can shop every single day be it for clothes, stationaries, books, accessories etc. I LOVE RETAIL THERAPY. Then I have no idea what happened, I was suddenly compelled to save money, and I am happy to say that it has been about 3 weeks since I've stopped shopping entirely. It is quite stressful at first like a smoker trying to quit smoking, but slowly, I realised that it was quite easy to calm your urges down .. There is something which I really really want, but then I will tell myself that I don't need it in the near future, so there is no need in buying it. So in the end I won't buy it! In one week, I can save about $80 since I don't really spend on food, only on traveling fares and notes ... and in one month, I can save about $320! Which is quite a lot :) And I think at the end of this year, if I can continue saving at least this much, I can definitely sponsor myself to go overseas for a holiday, without the need of my parents forking any money in. Ain't that awesome?! Hahaha, but of course going for a few months without shopping will definitely kill me, so perhaps I will just shop a bit once in a while? Just treat myself to a little retail therapy after studying like crap ... :P
Well so anyways, that's all I have for today :P Heehee.
Toodles~!
