Proud of myself

After one week of clearing and packing, I finally cleared away my 3 boxes and 2 big suitcases of stuff. Very embarrassed to say that most of these things are mine! I didn’t buy/bring anything back for my friends or family. I did buy a traditional Mexican shirt for my mum but other than that, nothing! One thing, to buy for one, I have to buy for everyone, which will cause me to spend a lot of money. Second thing, my luggages were already overweight and I narrowly missed having to pay for excess baggage, so buying more things were out of the question. I’m sure those who’re really my friends will just be happy to see me back safe and sound than to see my presents.

Oh, back to my room. I’m just so proud of myself. Managed to harden my heart and throw away lots of stuff that I kept for very long time. I really mean a very long time. Some of them goes back to my eldest brother’s primary school days, which is like 20 over years ago! Haha! I don’t even know how they ended up in my room in the first place. I actually had great fun cleaning up my room, to tell the truth. Was looking through all those school books, letters and diary entries. Makes me reminisce about days past and brought back lots of memories. Realised how much I’ve changed or in some ways, how little.

Being a sentimental person, I’ve kept every piece of letter and card that’s given to me by friends. This goes back to my primary school days. Really very funny to be reading about those things that seems important to me then but so silly now. I wrote diary on and off during these years and it makes me silly to be reading them too. Seems like when I was young, I can be very easily satisfied and easily sad too. Maybe this character of mine has not changed, just that I know better to conceal my feelings now.

Well, now that my unpacking is finished, that gives me no excuses to ‘lobo’ at home. Have to start looking for a job soon. My mum has been nagging me non-stop. Have actually wanted to rest till January but I think can’t wait till so long. I have to buy a new computer, set up an internet account and there’s many things that needed to be replaced in the house. Everything needs money. Sigh…I don’t even know what job I’m going to look for…
