Cleaning my room

Most people would see house-cleaning as a chore. Some would try to put it off as much as possible. Me? I decided to clean my room in celebration of my birthday. Strange, I know. But I was more efficient this time around; I tried not to mess the place up since the last clean-up (that took a few days!), and this time around it only took slightly more than a day (I started yesterday morning and finished this afternoon). That's improvement for you.

This time I even managed to tidy up the few areas I neglected the last time. Re-arranged books, re-packaged bags upon bags of junk, threw out unnecessary items, and wiped down surfaces. Not all though, just the most visible areas. I stumbled upon quite a few interesting (and forgotten) things, too!

Like socks.

FOUR pairs of socks, mind you. Got these in Sydney during my graduation trip.

And the batch of earrings I thought were gone. They had apparently fallen off my table and into the aforementioned bags upon bags of junk. I like these earrings not because they were expensive (they weren't), but because the cupcakes are really cute and the white roses are really pretty and girly.

Also found a book which I used when I was much younger to scribble down ideas and inspirations for stories and essays (uh-huh, I was one of those girls who thought creative writing was a hobby, not homework).

At the end of it all, I took out some of my Christmas toys and decorated little sections of the room. It's quite festive now. And Christmas is only 10 days away!

Cheers, people!
