Collect, Collect Till I regret!

August 14, 2021

That is the key to this collection, being yourself. Don't be into trends. Don't make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way to live. -Gianni Versace

I was inspired by@Just1dood article on featuring his collections you can read his article here. And I did tell him that I would make mine too. I know this is too late but I just want to be true to what I say to him in case he's expecting my version.

Before I'm not fond of collecting for I always break or lose most of the things (talk about being "burara"😁😁) . But after college or if I may remember that I start collecting some. This is not much but I just want to share some of my obsession

Books

I wrote in my previous article that I am a constant visitor to our library way back school days. I always go there in my spare time. Since I'm just a student I can't buy any book for I don't have enough budget to buy one. So I just managed to read from the ones that I borrowed.

Out of the many books I have, these ones really loved by Grandma. This books mostly talk about family, the struggles a family encounter and was separated but faith brings them back. This series is not completed yet for I am still finding some missing volumes on this.

I'm fond of Paulo Coelho's "The Alchemist" as it is the very first book that was given to me as a gift. But because there are people who always borrow but never dared to bring back the things they borrowed. I completely forgot whose last hand that dare borrow that book and never returned it.

Most of my books were mostly second hand so there some have dents or scratches on pages. My HP sets were also nowhere to be found because of easily being borrowed and they always forget to return them to their rightful owners aigooooo

So since my sister told me to purchase one because my nieces are now fond of reading books from my mini library, I purchased a whole set at a very cheap price. Mostly HP books set would cost you around Php 3,000.00($60) so purchasing something like this at a cheap price is true happiness.
I checked the reviews of the store since they are releasing the 2021 version of the book and the store seems to be good that's why I purchased it..uwu uwu uwu uwu
I'll have a hold of the new version within this month...

You know having books in the house is really suits us especially the kids. When they're tired of watching educational shows they divert their attention to reading. I have books that can suit their likes too lol!

Pens

I love pens the most, I usually have Faber-Castell pens with me all the time ever since high school. I always have a pen and a notepad with me but since our phone has a notes app now so I'll just bring a pen in case you need to write on something or sign some papers especially onsite work.

Since I'm home I only get to capture my pens here, I also have markers, highlighters. This is one of the reasons I will be in a good mood whenever I'm home. My room is filled with all the things that give me comfort and these pens were one of them. I'm not good at writing or such, and my penmanship is as good as a doctor😁😁.
Mostly I use my highlighter on my Bible, whenever I read I highlight a passage that I would want to remember as a message for me from the Lord.

Most also of my collections are being borrowed by my sisters who always barged in my room before. Every day I would lose a marker or highlighter or pen. I don't mind because they're my siblings but they keep on doing it that I end up borrowing my own things from them. That's when Mamay restricted them both to enter my room when I'm away for work. Only her and my son can enter my room hahaha.

Living Water

Ever since I joined a community and be renewed in my faith, I always buy this living water as a daily devotion or guidance. These books consist of the daily gospels and also reflections from priests and bishops.

Every morning I open my Living water book as part of my daily routine to hear the word of the Lord and also the reflections. My 2021 version is at my work and these ones sleeps also in my mini library hihi...

Purses

We do all have purses right? Me I occasionally bought most of the time these kinds of purses. I don't but I have been buying them even though I am not using them most of the time. I always have a purse dedicated to my coins and cents and I also have a purse for my cards and big bills (20,50,100).
Well, these purses are just cheap aside from the one that is personalized by a trusted shop. I started collecting them when I started working in my recent company. I also receive purses as a gift but I didn't include them. I only showed the one I purchased myself.

Boxes😁😁

I keep laughing at this. Seriously, I never thought I have been collecting this kind of boxes. Mamay told me to throw them off but I just can't bear to throw them away so I made use of them. The white one with my name on it and the brown came from the same shop I purchased my EXO merchies, noticeable from the seal although different colors. I also have some jewelry boxes from the pieces of jewelry I bought at the mall for me and my son. And also the boxes from my old phones. It just showed that I only had three phones purchased by my own salary, the others were given by my parents so I didn't keep their boxes.

I made use of these boxes by being storage of my things, I labeled them base on what I put inside. And I put tags and labels according to what's inside.

Notes:

I also have a collection of ponytails, paper clips, and other stationaries. Collecting was never a hobby until I got work. It's one of my spare pleasures .
