i will try my best to take care of it (even tho i’m really not fond of cats) :-P cheryl said they’re gonna give me a golden retriever pup if i’ll take care of kittty. lol… (now that’s a motivation) haha! :-P well newei, its okay.

i’ve just got home from having dinner at Marco Polo with mom and dad (while they spend the night there). seems like dad’s privileges are about to expire this month so we took advantage of it before it goes to waste… besides, dad REALLY needs a time off…

anyway, i’m gonna have a long day tomorrow and i need to wake up early. every morning leah and i do skipping ropes. :-D hehehehe :-P

Mission Accomplished :)

Hello again!! :-)

At lasst! i’ve just finished fixing my room… it took me 9 days. wow… it really wasn’t as easy as it looks!! now i know how hard it is to remodel a room. putting stuff away alone can be a pain. going over them, deciding what to keep and what not to is hard for me coz im a person who rarely throw things away. thinking maybe i’m gonna need it someday, or im gonna keep it and show it to the person who gave them to me many years from now. but sometimes i just really have to close my eyes and start putting them away. but there were still lots of them that i kept.. :-D so, thats the first hard part.

then, removing the wallpaper. its a good thing that the room was not completely covered with wallpapers. but i think there were just 6 strips… yea, easy huh… but it takes an HOUR to remove 1 strip… well for me… :-P especially if you are doing it alone.

next, wiping the walls, dust everything out… fill in holes and cracks… big work.

then… priming and painting… this part i like!! :-) good thing my dad helps me out. thank you didi! :-D i learned a lot about paints bcoz of this project and with my dad guiding me the whole time… its only now i know that there are specific paints for cement and for wood. you can’t have the same kind of paint on both. all the while i thought that whatever paint you want, go ahead and buy it. :-P so, if you want to paint on cement, choose latex… on wood, enamel. :-) i like painting with latex because it is water-based and so it dries up quickly and its easy to clean with just water. on the other hand the enamel paint takes much longer in drying, the smell’s strong (think about being able to smell it for 8 hours… i was really about to puke. :-P ) and i had to clean it with kerosene… because it is oil-based. :-P

anyway, i just did a washing effect on my walls instead of a plain color. looks fun. :-D

oh wells, just a few more things to add… overall my room is mostly done.

i count it another blessing from God. and thankful for having such supportive parents and family… :-)

wow, its 1am, and im really exhausted. i just want to update you. still got a lot of things ahead for me to do… so i better rest now.

i’ll just be posting pictures here tomorrow.

goodnight! :-)

P.S. Happy birthday to David Rogers! :-)

PPS: i wrote this last night, but the internet was down.. so im publishing it this morning.
