General Room Cleaning and Now, My Body's Sore.. LOL (ULOG Day 127)

Hey guys!! What's up?
I went out with my mama today, but as we were walking, I couldn't help but grimace because my body is sore. It's because yesterday, I had a general cleaning in my room and I decided to rearrange some stuff, discard some and do a lot of rearrangements and cleaning. My papa helped me a lot, especially in moving heavier stuff and in cleaning some electrical stuff. Mama, on the other hand, cleaned their room and helped me a bit in the afternoon. Imagine, I cleaned my room from 9 in the morning until around 6 in the evening. And to think that my room is relatively small. How come? hahaha I wonder about the same thing, too.





First things first, I took out almost everything from my room. I don't use a bed, so I took out my mattress or folding foam. I took out the tables (I have one study table, one white table where I do my artworks and a small table where I put random stuff) while papa helped me take out the mattress and the thin foam I use underneath.





Look at papa striking a pose. haha We had to use mask because dust is everywhere. T_T Just, where do they come from? Our house is far from the road and my room is almost always closed, so why? xD

Sorry, the pictures are blurry. Arashi is camera shy...

Anyway, while I and my parents were busy, he was also busy playing. He climbed up my table and transfered to the "Cleopatra bench" where my mattress is and made his way through it. That's why in the last picture, papa took out the mattress to put it outside. Well, it's a good time to air it out. :)


The difficult part was my upper cabinet where I usually keep my books, anime figurine collections, BL doujinshi and anime magazines. Take a look at them below.

I placed my babies in this container, because they're going to take a bath. Yeah, they're dusty and some of the dust really stuck to them and simply wiping them won't do.

Just gonna wipe them, of course... My collection! I haven't actually read all of them. Some (Wink Up magazine and BL doujinshi) are in Japanese, so yeah.. haha.. And as for the otakuzines, I usually just skim and scan, though I've read most of the interesting articles.

Novels... mostly mystery thrillers. I also haven't read all of them. lol Most of the books I've already read aren't with me. My friends borrowed them, and didn't return. A couple of books there belong to my friends. xD

After these photos, I couldn't take any other photos because I had to sort out all my things. Wiping the dusty stuff, washing my figurines, choosing what to keep and to let go, organizing my art materials and various types of papers I bought usually impulsively. Those that I don't use but are still usable (usually art materials), I gave it to our kid neighbor. I also threw some of the stuff I've been keeping for quite some time and just kept those very special ones. Yes, my memory box is still so full. I have to get myself a bigger box.

Anyway, let me show you how my room looked like afterwards.





Instead of using the small table, I decided to use my study table so there's more space for my art materials. The small white board and flash cards are what I use a work especially when I have kid student. Today, I bought an adhesive hook so it's now hanging beside my work chair. Check it out below...

There was once a Kuroko poster there, but it's gone... where are you, Kuroko? haha xD Thus, the remnants of the double sided tape. I should get rid of them soon.

I changed the position of my altar and my collection. It's great that I can easily get and check out my collections, and at the same time, the altar is in a better place. I won't be hitting them accidentally anymore.





I arranged all types of paper inside that file envelope. Beside it are the sketchpad or watercolor pads that I'm using at the moment. Those that are already full of artworks as well as those that are still empty are found below.

There's my altar on top and my dresser below. :) It looks so much better. It's also easier to clean the upper cabinet because there are less stuff in it. <3





My work space and my collection and art space. Also, you can see my white table... now, I placed it in the other corner of the room and would just put it at the center when I use it.





And my small table is now my small space for watching anime or writing blogs. You might also see some face masks and hair accessories and a makeup pouch... it's because it's beside my work space so I can easily use them. As for the face mask, I like using it at night, so it's easy to reach.

My mattress is a folding one, so when it's morning, it serves as a bench... but when I sleep at night, I unfold it so I can get a big space for myself. I just move the small table beside my white table. :) Now, I'm writing my blog in the dining area because mama and papa are still watching TV, too. haha~

After I post this, I'd have to get inside my "sanctuary" to relax and perhaps watch some anime or read manga before sleeping. :) And yeah~ my body is still sore, but it's getting better. haha. That was a productive day indeed.

Thanks for reading and see you again! (^_^)v
