bachelorette pad

Moving in to this so-called bachelorette pad, perhaps, is the most crucial decision I have ever made this year… and in my entire life. I was born independent, yes, but I wasn’t really given the opportunity to live away from home. So it feels different, very different that packing my things up seemed to be such a burdensome task! For the nth time I need to undress my being undomesticated and take the responsibility to make an unfamiliar place my new home. 

After that craze to look for the most economical and accessible place to stay comes this self-satisfying drive to fill the room with stuffs that wil make it more relaxing and appealing (because I have to prepare for my friend’s coming in 2013). I bought a queen-size bed which looked perfectly enough for two slim ladies. We didn’t choose a double decker bed simply because no one wants to sleep on the upper loft! I have fear of heights too so we ended up buying a wider one. The next thing I got was an industrial stand fan, although I haven’t claimed the unit yet for some (illogical and lame) reason of Anson! Anyway, they have to give me that not later than this week. My first overnight stay in my room was moved just because of that fan; I can’t sleep there and wake up the next morning patched with mosquito bites! 

As of this moment, I am thinking of getting: 

• Coffee table instead of dining set – it’s way less expensive and will not eat so much space in the room 
• Dresser – ladies do need this to comfortably decorate ourselves before heading to work 
• Laptop – I have often planned to get one but since there’s no instance that really required me of it, I deferred buying it, and now I badly need one 
• Couch – well, this is optional; only that this will make the room look lovelier 
• Long curtains – I scouted from department store and saw a few designs that fit my taste 
• Comforter – this I have to get this week as sale season is extensive and I have to grab that chance to wisely spend my money, for comfort! 
• Toiletries – of course these are unnegotiable and a big MUST. 

There are a lot more in my mind that I want to buy and it excites me day after day to make this room the most beautiful place for a year (or so, because we have a 12-month lease contract with the owner). Soon I will post pictures of how my new nest looks. For now, I wish nothing but to receive our bonus so all of the above must-buys won’t turn into a shattered dream! :)
