Looking Back

[Spoilers if you haven't read the post before this XD hahahaha~]

I was cleaning up my drawers and cabinets, sorting out some old stuff in preparation for once we move to the new house. (We'll be moving in into the 3rd Floor of our current bodega a couple of houses away from ours now, so, it's basically just the same street.) I segregated some stuff I want to bring with me, stuff I'm planning to donate, stuff I'm planning to give away, and then there are stuff that I want to sell in hopes to earn a little bit of cash to help in the construction and furnishing.

Once again, Karissa Yu is hit with a wave of nostalgia. Hahahaha.

I dug up some old bags that are seldom used and I couldn't throw away since they hold good memories. I know that I really don't need them anymore (because of the cartoon character designs XD hahahaha~) but I just can't have the heart to donate or sell or give them away because of the memories.

I dug up some Animorphs books too (which I'm planning to sell), and I remember my friend, Carlo, who always made fun of me with Tobias Shamtul. (OMG I still remember the character name! XD hahahaha) I was so obsessed with Tobias the Boy-who-permanently-morphed-into-a-Hawk(? Eagle?) (research about the book if you don't know what I'm talking about) that Carlo started calling me "Santol! Santol!" to make fun of me. Hahahaha! I loved that book...

And then there is my Journal collection. I am still obsessed with collecting them, even until now, but I plan to sell some of them since they still look so pretty and usable, and they'd just be asleep in my drawer if I still bring them with me. I don't have the heart to sell the ones my friends and family gave me, though. It would be rude to them, I guess...?

While clearing out my Journal collection, I came across some selected Starbucks and other coffee shops' planners which I was able to fill out. I was able to fill out consecutively dating back 6 years of planners. Years worth of memories, assignments and deadlines, exams, trips, scribbles, doodles, birthdays, seminars, other big events, etc.

(sigh)

Living in a different home is gonna be different now. I'm excited for the new things, experiences, environment, and all that. I'll be writing new scribbles and notes in a different environment in my 2013-2014 planner. Ever-changing... Hehehehe.

I guess this is lesser pressure from what my sister experienced when she got married, and upped and moved to a new house XD hahahaha~
