I just realized that most of the things in my room are already begging for replacement. Almost everything is old or worn out or just plain ugly. Basically, I want the following:

• Pillows. I was thinking that I will throw away the old ones but my sister suggested that I also buy 3 yards of hello kitty fabric and we will re-work the old pillows. Mmmm … sounds economical. It’s just that, I’m too lazy for sewing. Hehe. I hate stitching. I think it’s a tedious job.
• Thermos. I’ve been drinking a lot of hot Milo since the day I decided to go freelance.  To save cooking gas, I need something that will keep the water hot for several hours so I won’t have to boil water every other hour. Initially, I wanted a tumbler from Starbucks. Then I saw the price and I was like “huh?!” Haha.
• Folding bed. Still thinking about it. My space is too tiny that I’m in dire need of additional space. Perhaps, this will help? Space saver but definitely not chick. LOL. As if I care.
• Home office. I have two tables. A huge chair. Electric fan. What more can I ask for? The practical side of my brain is telling me these are enough for me to work comfortably. That I should wait for my finances to stabilize before buying anything that spells luxury. But I want, I want, I want! And I want it now Aaaw, this should wait.
• Snack station. Ambitious! LOL. Yup having a work station is not enough. I need an area where I can easily grab a piece of cookie or biscuit, or just a tiny cabinet full of chips. Chips ahoy. Not potato chips. Bad bad for my eczema. The doctor didn’t tell me to stop eating potato strings but when she told me to eat healthy, I translated that to “no junk foods.” Specifically, I cannot eat anything with tomatoes, chicken, egg, and everything malangsa. Anyway, I can always buy Brownies and Cheese cakes at a nearby store so this one’s also not a necessity.
• Toy station. Hahaha! Not for me. I just want to divert the attention of my nephews and niece when they visit me on weekends. They are my kaagaw sa laptop. I don’t mind. I’m not annoyed when they want to watch cartoons or if they want to play Purble. I’m absolutely cool with that. It’s just that, I have to meet certain deadlines and if I’m going to choose between their happiness or my Odesk job, I would definitely choose the former. When the kids are happy, I’m happy. So, they really need toys so as not to disturb me. Of course, they have lots of toys but in their house, not in my place.
• Linoleum. I want white. Tired of blue. And maybe I should also replace the shower curtains and rugs.

Wow. How much money do I need to afford all of these? Sigh* I wish I were more hardworking. Bo Sanchez is right. To be happy in life, I need money. This is something that I didn’t want to acknowledge in the past. I’ve always thought that love love love and more effing love is enough to make me happy. It’s just now that I’m beginning to accept the fact that I need money. Look, whatever you read here, don’t take it seriously. It’s just me … writing and nagging.
