Spring Cleaning COMPLETE.

VICTORRRYYYYY!!!

It's 12:20 and we (Mom, sister and I) just finished cleaning out 85% of my room. We've been cleaning non-stop (save for dinner time) since after lunch and we are DEAD BEAT TIRED. Our backs hurt like crazy, our feet feels so dirty, our hands bear the marks of labor, our eyes want to droop and the bed is starting to look very very very good.

















See my poor, poor nails/fingers... Think it's time for a manicure? I sure do. :P And that photo below? That's the HUGE pile of books, notebooks, readings from my elementary and high school days to be given away to charity or sold for scrap. It feels so good to let go. :)

Anyway, I'd like to end this quick update with a couple photos I found from my 'dig'



Brain scans! :O Yes! Those are images of my brain. You see, a few years ago I had mini black-outs whenever I would stand. And yes, I know that those occurrences are normal but mine occurred at an alarmingly regular rate and I would usually stumble and fall whenever the world goes dark. :| But that's a thing of the past now, thankfully.



I found this letter my best friend since Grade 3 wrote to me- IN CHINESE. To be honest, I'm not quite sure what it says anymore. :| Finding it was a great surprise, though. :3

AAAAAAND there you have it. I'm tired. I need a looong hot bath. I need my hot milo. I need my bed.

Spring Cleaning

Out with the old, in with the new.



It's always great to start afresh, especially right before a milestone such as starting my first job. And my goodness! Clearing out old school books that has been gathering dust from my closet for more than five years is VERY therapeutic. Not to mention the goldmine of memories I've unearthed... I never knew I collected so much posters and newspaper clippings of Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and Simple Plan. Heck, I even forgot that I had that poster below! I dug up old brain scans o_o, useless math exams and hundreds and hundreds of old now-worthless notebooks.






And WOW, the process is grueling. My back hurts like crazy, my nails are chipped and dirty and I feel a migraine coming on soon. But then again, the end result is worth the trouble. It's like... letting go of years and years and years of baggage I don't really need and it feels good.

It's time to make space for my new life! I can ACTUALLY SEE the bottom of my drawers! I can ACTUALLY stretch my legs under my desk! And I can finally, finally feel that I'm starting a new chapter in my life. Will update soon with pictures of my CLEAAAANN area! :D
