Highs of the Weekend
By afparungao - Sunday, March 13, 2011
It's been a while since I stayed home for an entire weekend to fix my room. My mom has been bugging me for months to do something about it, but I never got the time to do a major fixing.
Since it's already spring, I guess it's time to do some... (drum roll please!!!) Spring Cleaning (har har)
So I've thrown stuff, put away some more, and did something about compartments and clear boxes. Talk about an overhaul. But not so much really. If I had it my way, I would repaint my room, replace my bed, and put new lights. But I don't have the time and resources for that yet so I made semi-major changes.
One of those changes is my book case.
Before it looks like this:

And my books started increasing every pay day. If this looks chaotic to you, the more recent state would be more chaotic. Too bad I didn't get to take a photo.
Then I remember my best friend Lian's post about her new "book shelf." Although I don't believe it so much that it was her who thought about it and not her mother, as I know she isn't capable of fixing her things (JOKE) I took the idea as a springboard to my makeshift book case.

My brother and I used to have a wooden bunk bed. But since we grew taller and possibly (because it may not look like it) heavier, our parents decided to get us a new double deck with metal frame. After a while, my they decided to sleep downstairs (of whatever reason) and told me to sleep in their old room instead. I used to make my part of the bunk bed my own room. Own little lamp, radio component, several books, pretend desk in my bed. Now that I have my own room, these things are no longer (well sometimes books are still in my bed) on my bed. We had the wooden bunk bed dismantled, but kept the ladder around because nobody seems to like it, except us.
Then an idea suddenly popped in my mind. inspired by Lian's bookshelf, I present to you, my new book case!!!
Now who would think that used to be a ladder, huh?
The first "shelf" is occupied by Filipiniana books, young adult books, and fiction.
 |
| could have arranged this one by color, aside from by height |
The third "shelf" carries more non-fic books and my older books. You'll see my Cosmopolitan recommended books there too. I used to collect those in high school hehe
My table is now occupied by writing books, female writers book, and some more fiction

| My favourite female writers: Anne Sexton, Sylvia Plath, Camille Paglia, Simone de Beauvior Meg Cabot, Jeannette Winterson, Elizabeth Wurtzel, and Candace Bushnell |

| Coelho, Ellis, Marquez, Hoff, and Love Letters |
