The One With All The Clutter.....

Clutter, mess, junk, garbage...its what it is, its what it is. :-D

Much to my new roommate's annoyance, i have a lot of these in my house. With a very tiny apartment, she can't imagine how everything fits. (But they do fit..tiptoe-ing around my house would be much appreciated. hee)

After living alone for amost a year (I previously had a room mate, splitting rent on a two bedroom apartment. Why I decided to live alone is a long story...basically, for comfort.), a friend of mine comes over. And to save money, she decided to stay with me, for now, till her family arrives. (Or maybe till they get settled. Whenever they want...for as long as they want is fine with me.) And the first thing she did, arrange my clutter. Hee. First my bags, then my shoes, then the magazines, then my clothes, then my kitchen, then my storage...whee! It's like my sister, and zeester put together and decided to clean up in full force. heehee. (I am not a brat!)

It's not like a Dirty Girl's apartment. (I'm not expecting Mano to come knocking, anytime soon, with all her cleaning stuff in her hands) I don't have rats hiding inside a bag of chips or bras hanging on my couch..er..yeah, right now, there's none. It's just that, there's not much space! (Zees, i'm right, right? If only we could have a bigger room, or a bigger house,sigh))

MAGAZINES: I threw away some of my mags, but still, with a monthly(weekly for some) subscription of mags...Glamour, In Style, Cosmopolitan, People(just cancelled my subscription of EW, US and Vogue, just buy them once in awhile now, er..like every month...haha)..and with catalogs from almost all shops from around New York...you can't blame me for leaving them in the floor.(Neatly arranged, thank you). I already have two magazine racks in the bedroom, a center table with a place for mags, 2 magazine baskets in the living room...still, there are mags on the bed, in the bathroom, in the kitchen...etc. It's not my fault. So, I was thinking, maybe I'll just send the mags to the Philippines...if anyone wants them. Because i cringe when I throw them away sometimes, but I have to.

BAGS: I've disposed more than half of my bags when I went home a couple of months ago,(Pasalubong to my Titas...they didnt notice they were my old bags. Hee, bad). but still my friend complained. Only coz I just have two shelves reserved for my bags (the other two i cleaned up for her, hmp, that ungrateful brat..hmp.;D). If I had that two more extras, they wont be crowding in that teeny space again.

SHOES: Different shoes/clothes/coats for different seasons. That explains it. And different shoes/clothes/coats for different styles....and different colors. Need I say more? Hehe. She wants to see them arranged according to color, so go ahead. Ibigay ang hilig.

KITCHEN: Compared to other people's kitchen, might is fairly neat. Well, only because I don't cook that often. Hehe. B-but, i tend to buy lots and lots of chocs and chips and anything just to fill up the space in my kitchen. And that's what my friend hates to see in the kitchen, junk. (What you gon’ do with all that junk? All that junk inside your trunk? I’ma get, get, get, get, you drunk.....hehe) So she cleared my kitchen counters and hid them all to a galaxy far far away. If she doesnt mind me asking where the jelo is, or the choc, or the chip or the candy, or the popcorn is every 15 minutes, fine by me. hehe.

STORAGE: Like Monica said to Chandler , I'm afraid you'll gonna mess up my mess.*cringe*.:D It's a storage for crying out loud, do I have to make it sooo neat? C'mon!

Lastly. MY DRESSER and BATHROOM: She didnt touch them yet, coz she doesnt know how to fix them. Hee. Again, they're clean..but its like bath and body works, sephora and a salon threw up on them. Hee. These places are hopeless. You can still lick my bathroom floor, but not the counters...coz there's no space to lick.

So there, if i only knew how to upload pics I would have taken a pic for each category. The before and after shot. Hee. (And dont get her started with my CD's DVD's and books. She's getting really nuts thinking of a place to align them all. ) Sigh, i wish i had a bigger apartment. Maybe when Zees comes over, they'd buy a house with a huuuuge garage then I can live there with all my junk. Then she'd come over and fix them all for me every single day, whee!!!! Surprise! haha.

Now I'm suddenly sleepy....Thank God. Blogging is good...keeps me away from texting. hehe.
