A few things that make life worth living

Long conversations late at night. Ice creams. Waking up and realizing you still have a few minutes left to sleep. Traveling and exploring new places. Accidentally hearing someone saying something nice about you. Hot tea or hot chocolate on a cold rainy day. Making new friends or spending time with old ones. Falling in love. First kisses. Giggling Laughing at an inside joke with your friends. Laughing at yourself. Laughing so hard your stomach hurts. Laughing for absolutely nothing at all. Just plain laughing. Simple family day outs. Sleeping over at your best friend's place. Holding hands with someone you care about. Remembering last night's dream. Random phone calls that would make your day. Eating something you've been craving for. Watching the sunset. Unplanned imperfectly perfect outings with close friends.

How will i fit everything in my luggage?!


I went through old boxes yesterday to look for more clothes and shoes to bring with me, since i will be moving next month. Upon opening several boxes in the store room, i found my mom's old pair of Jag pants, which i knew she won't be able to use anymore since it's tight around the waist area and that the upper part of the pants looked torn and scruffy. She never liked scruffy looking pants on me so i figured she wouldn't wear one herself. I then decided to turn it into a pair of shorts since i've been meaning to own a high-waisted pair for a while now. Furthermore, i didn't have any thing else to do around the house anyway. Haa! I made two DIY shorts a few months ago, however the difference with this one is that i didn't distress them at all. I also decided to fold the bottom part and hand sew the sides, to keep the folds in place. So happy with how it turned out! Looking forward to doing more projects which involves me sewing and creating clothes i like. 

THE FINAL OUTCOME!
Sorry for the bad quality, but oh well.

Also, a few weeks ago, i managed to organize my closet and count how many clothes i will have to bring with me. I have a maximum of 20kg baggage to carry with and probably an extra 10kg more since my mom will be coming along. Since i found a couple of more clothes, shoes and bags in the storage room, i need to re-count everything and see whether i need to buy more items or not. I've been wanting to buy a pair of black boots, since i don't own one, and also since i don't think i will be able to find a nice one in the Philippines. BUT for now, i'm thinking of just holding that thought and just bring with the shoes that i already own. I already have enough of everything, from sweaters to blouses. Therefore if i buy more things, i think i will exceed the weight limit of my baggage! I totally don't want to be paying extra for an overweight baggage. I probably need to look up on how to effectively fold my clothes properly so that i could fit a lot of items into my luggage. I've tried the rolling technique before, and i reckon that's the best way. We'll see...

Wew, at the moment i am feeling excited about this whole big move of mine. However, i'm overall feeling anxious. But that's probably a whole different story, which i might be writing a new blog post about in the future. 

I will watch a Korean show now! Teehee, just had to throw that info in there. Well, bye for now!
