Sony launched a new line of headphones called the MDR with the brand ambassadors being Bamboo and Ely Buendia.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They had a promo wherein if you buy one of the headsets in the MDR line, you can get, for yourself and two other friends, tickets to the first ever silent concert in Manila called MDR: Music Deserves Respect.</div>

So the concert took place in the Rockwell Tent behind the Powerplant Mall. There was this sound proof booth in front of the tent wherein the artist will be performing.</div>

The whole place had cocktail tables so everyone had to stand throughout the whole concert, apart from the media, VIP's and other exceptions.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Each table would have this on it wherein people can plug in their Sony headphones to be able to hear the artist in the soundproof booth. Each machine can accommodate 4 people.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you weren't able to buy a pair of headphones, you will be loaned a pair of earphones for the concert. While the MDR headphones were amazing, the earphones they had on loan were not super great.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The time on the tickets said the concert will start at 8pm but it was half past 9pm when the guest artist started to perform.</div>

Apparently, Bamboo had no way of hearing the audience from the outside. He had to way to gauge how everything was being received so in the middle of one of his songs, he walked out of the soundproof area and went into the common area.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As the grand finale, both Bamboo and Ely Buendia exited the soundproof booth, we were all asked to take off our headphones and they both performed a cover of Come Together by the Beatles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Overall, the concert was such a unique experience. With that being said, I think I still prefer the old-fashioned way of holding concerts. In the silent concert, the sound quality was impeccable because of the headphones but it was almost too good. It sounded like you were listening to a song from your phone. I still prefer hearing the raw energy that comes from the performer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Apart from that, having this type of concert completely eliminated that little thing that performers do when they made the audience sing the chorus with them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Despite all that, it was a great, albeit unusual, experience nonetheless.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Moving onto the place itself, I absolutely love what they did to the place.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The place felt very elegant and special which doesn't really directly connect to the music that Ely Buendia and Bamboo had but considering the interiors individually, it was gorgeous. The layout was pretty typical with an elevated area for VIPs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wish though that they had some chairs set up for the audience. Only a few people were given seats while the others were left to fend for themselves. I understand that chairs take up too much space but having some well-laid-out benches shouldn't really take up that much space anyway.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But my favorite part of the whole interior would be the lighting. The lighting did magical things to the place, most especially to the ceiling. It made everything soft and ethereal.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Again, it's at a disconnect with the actual performers but we're letting that slide.</div>

The night table, or bedside table, is one of the most critical places in your bedroom. It provides easy access to important things while you're laying on your bed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a couple of my recommendations of what you should keep on and in your night table.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Recently, my family and I happened to drop by the newest mall in Banawe St., QC. I have seen the building progress of this mall since we often pass by in the area. You will easily recognize the building with its vertical strips of green wall in the facade, which is a major plus for me in its design. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Aside from being the place where you get auto parts, Banawe is also famous for the Chinese restaurants that occupy that road. Finding Chinese restaurants in Z Square is something given and expected. The Lucky Rainbow Seafood Restaurant's fit out, however, tells a different story. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The thing that struck me most about the design of this restaurant is how they were able to utilize lighting to make the restaurant standout. The backlit printed acrylic panel in the facade, which frames the restaurant's signage, is an imposing front that will make you look. Now, we all know how important that "look" is for commercial areas. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The restaurant also follows a curving space configuration. That architectural detail was intelligently utilized and given emphasis through the series of backlit panels that run and define the rest of the facade. The ambiance is sophisticated, but very welcoming. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Now, for the food....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were all on a diet mode so we ordered more veggies and fish. The order-taker, James, was very accommodating and informative. You can really rely on his suggestions. Here's a tip: always ask for the chef's special on that day. You won't find them in the menu. For that day, we tried the one with tofu and bokchoy. My family and I agreed, it was the best dish we had that night. I love the Xiao Long Bao because the soup inside was plenty. But my mom says she likes the one in Shi Lin for the meat part better. The steamed Lapu-Lapu was also really good. They have a fish tank so you're sure the fish was a fresh-catch. The crunchy garlic broccoli is a perfect partner for the creamy and tender fish. I really appreciated the yang chow served in heart-shape. Small gestures like that makes your guests feel more special :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They also have fresh flowers, but only for tables for 12. We were only eight so we didn't have any. In their defense, the reason was our food won't fit anymore if they add flowers to the table. True enough because later on when our order was complete, they even had to transfer them to smaller plates. </div>

Will I go back to this place? Actually, I can't wait to try their other dishes. James said there's also a squid chicken dish that we should try. The ambiance with the delicious food is something to look forward to. Add that to the accommodating staff, it's a place where you'd really want to bring your family to. The fact that the waiters were so quick to serve you makes you focus on more important things--family bonding and chitchat. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was never a morning person but that doesn't mean I enjoy sleeping so late. I've had trouble sleeping for years. I'd only get to deep sleep about two hours after I have gone to bed. I knew it wasn't normal that I soon decided to do something about it. One of the things I learned was to separate work space with the bedroom. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've always had my study/working table in one corner of my bedroom. At first it seemed beneficial given that my most productive hours come in late in the afternoon until about almost midnight. It takes me too long before I finally start working, but when I do, I don't take breaks in between. Soon after my long straight hours of intense work, having my bed a few steps away was just something that worked. Or so I thought. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My bed being close to my work station also meant that the clutter on my desk was visible from my bed. Later on, I learned that that actually was the main reason why I couldn't put myself to sleep. The key to a good night's sleep is to condition your mind that it's time for rest. You cannot get that in the same space where you get a lot of thinking time and stress. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, I decided to move my work station to another room. We had an extra room in the house where my mom puts all her paperworks/clutter. Well, it took a lot of reasoning with her to let her give up some of it's space for me but it was worth it. I was able to transfer my drawing table, desk, and one book shelf at the very least. I still kept one hanging book shelf in my bedroom but I filled it up with stuffed toys, instead! :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm so happy with how my little "office" turned out. My younger sister would insist on calling it my "dungeon," given the very limited space. But I love it, regardless. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<b>Please, step into my office! </b><br />

I found this awesome drop leaf desk at a department store for only Php 2,000! During my "office hours," it's enough to fit my laptop, one magazine (for inspiration) and some other tools like my colored pens. When I'm done and it's time for rest, I just pull up the desk and it transforms into a smaller console table. You can also hide other tools behind the drop leaf so they disappear! (Of course, figuratively speaking.) It comes with a drawer, too! It's so perfect for compact spaces like mine. </div>

I have an anglepoise floor lamp which I move depending on where I'm stationed. Beside my transformer desk is my drawing table where I go after a brainstorming session on my desk. When you have a cramped space flexibility is key. My anglepoise lamp provides me adequate task light and since it's movable, I can easily make it follow me! Who's the boss?</div>

This is my drawing table with the three rulers that make drawing possible for me! (I hate to break it to you, but not all designers are good artists. Haha. Disclaimer alert!) Before I start working, I make it a habit to clean them because I always want to make my drawing neat. My dad got this car spray cleaner initially for my car. But I seldom clean my car myself so…. haha. I just found that it works great on my rulers, too! It does what it promises, wax shine without water! :)</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's an existing steel cabinet in the room, which had nothing on it. So, I decided to stash my art stuff there. Basically, they're just trinkets or recycled stuff I collected over time. Last Christmas I made snowman out of softdrink caps. (We'll have a DIY soon, so watch out for it!) </div>

<b>Work from home, but keep your "home"</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know a lot of you have your work desks in your bedrooms. But there's really a lot of benefits from keeping these two spaces apart. For one, my lazy mode is lessened. All I have to do to switch my productive mode on is to go to my office. In the same way, whenever I feel the need to rest, I just go to my now sleep-conducive bedroom. :) </div>

If I were to describe my room in five words, these would be the words.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Owls</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Travel</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Clutter (the good kind)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Red</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. Books</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to talk about my room for my first post because it literally is my favorite place in the whole world. I think I spend most of my time here and if not, I surely wish I did.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the most part, I designed my own room and I'll gladly show you around.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Virtually, of course.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First, my desk.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht2Y_s3XASg6EkpHqFPKkj6u2GOHwR7zo87hoUV6LWNuKZ9mZlCg8muXpmUpu8hFWKyYir0oH0cikk1Oxg-3OsmYSXRqjd3vC2K0ExQeYoF3bTMEKA6txrCasLawlDcU5VnKUoGmZvtIo/s1600/PicsArt_1398182959747.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht2Y_s3XASg6EkpHqFPKkj6u2GOHwR7zo87hoUV6LWNuKZ9mZlCg8muXpmUpu8hFWKyYir0oH0cikk1Oxg-3OsmYSXRqjd3vC2K0ExQeYoF3bTMEKA6txrCasLawlDcU5VnKUoGmZvtIo/s1600/PicsArt_1398182959747.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Where the heck do I start?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes when I'm bored, I love buying some canvas and just painting away. I don't think I'm any good at it though but I just like doing it. These are only two of the paintings I have.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The one on the left is a painting of our garden outside.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The one on the right is a painting of a Camellia (?) flower.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know it's too much stuff to keep on top of your desk but I barely use it anyway. Ever since graduating, I do everything I can to avoid doing work at home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I get home, I sleep. No questions asked.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you use your desk though it's always good to keep MINIMAL things on it so you can maximize your work space. Keep only the essentials and put everything else, elsewhere.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This may sound odd but next, I'd like to show you my closet door.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few months ago, I wanted to take a photo of a polaroid picture I took so that I could post it on Instagram. I couldn't find a decent surface to use as a background for my Instagram picture so I decided to tape the polaroid onto my closet door and take a photo of the photo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I liked how the polaroid looked against the red color so I bought a pack of sticky tack and started my Instax wall.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When you're sticking things onto walls, it's best to use sticky tack cause that reduces the damage the adhesive makes onto your wall.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The next wall I'll show you is probably my most favorite.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj487_ERBErXoAFnQXx7Zjz90isZlOFpaF7_2EX71st5Wwbly7P3qj6qLHGaP4BHY3D3rjy8ybf9TRXx716TMkFoVqQWYnCoR6k-nK-X52g81wVvLDfi59SlTd-Se3xMWXCLTQo4Y2LZh4/s1600/PicsArt_1398183237741.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj487_ERBErXoAFnQXx7Zjz90isZlOFpaF7_2EX71st5Wwbly7P3qj6qLHGaP4BHY3D3rjy8ybf9TRXx716TMkFoVqQWYnCoR6k-nK-X52g81wVvLDfi59SlTd-Se3xMWXCLTQo4Y2LZh4/s1600/PicsArt_1398183237741.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the wall on the right side of my bed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has most of the souvenirs that I have acquired during some of my travels. Some of these are gifts that people have given me during their travels.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Basically, this wall oozes wanderlust.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm hoping to fill it up some more in the near future.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4-eQ-V679kkV4kK0dGz8C-2TL7u97FWI3zmVAOf3BCJlpgOk1Vqh9TpnD6EiBH8YVKsLpwbI4ao7BIngIFjciJvdYBm_o1_kOKRFZWpnmBAQMS5KO9S05_X8B-yC07utOkF62fw_BEkU/s1600/PicsArt_1398183345582.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4-eQ-V679kkV4kK0dGz8C-2TL7u97FWI3zmVAOf3BCJlpgOk1Vqh9TpnD6EiBH8YVKsLpwbI4ao7BIngIFjciJvdYBm_o1_kOKRFZWpnmBAQMS5KO9S05_X8B-yC07utOkF62fw_BEkU/s1600/PicsArt_1398183345582.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The wall above is also a fave of mine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We've moved houses quite a lot in my childhood and this clock is one of the pieces we used in one of our old house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It used to be in the game room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to put it into my room as a nostalgic element.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The little paintings on the walls are actually coasters that I got from Montemarte in Paris. It's probably my favorite place in all of Paris and I'm glad I got these as a keepsake.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They're all little replicas of Lautrec's works.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you hate clutter, then kindly just skip over the next photo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Above my TV, I have these two hanging shelves that houses all my knick knacks. I'll just run through everything I have quickly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Top Shelf (L-R)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A clock from... Switzerland(?) (I'm not sure, my mom got it for me)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Two of my owls from my owl collection</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My prom picture</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A Plaque for Studying Too Much</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Prints of Mark Ecko's Graphic Work</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My piggy bank</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And a crapload more of my paintings</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bottom Shelf (L-R)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Photos from various events</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The drumstick of Andy Hurley that I got from a concert</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A baby owl</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A Vase from Vigan</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A random broken alarm clock</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another one of my owls</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A small Chest from Vigan</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A Tube of Boxer shorts minus the Boxer Shorts</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some of my favorite books</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you have a ton of knick knacks, it's best to just restrict them to one area of your room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibs3T19DQ45lQ6wN-T2FJ0uNfTMwlJ97XUtxaU2oekV5LrhRICkfr9Pg_d7uDytHfF8lYppPXnvIsW1bnHACc_dZGCCiiDTjz4xQWWFGQ5WG_Ehbp7w0NYhKPynRrOaVJddlyDik2dfbY/s1600/PicsArt_1398183863253.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibs3T19DQ45lQ6wN-T2FJ0uNfTMwlJ97XUtxaU2oekV5LrhRICkfr9Pg_d7uDytHfF8lYppPXnvIsW1bnHACc_dZGCCiiDTjz4xQWWFGQ5WG_Ehbp7w0NYhKPynRrOaVJddlyDik2dfbY/s1600/PicsArt_1398183863253.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The next area is the right side of my door.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My mom and I (and sometimes my sister) go to furniture fairs a lot so I have a collection of ID's hanging on my door knob.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, I'm a pack-rat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't even ask about my chopsticks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The area on the right of Hawaiian kermit is where I generally dump the bags that I bring everyday. Behind them is my full-length mirror that's also the door to my restroom.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This design for a door is super awesome if your room is too small and you want to have maximize your space.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As for the photo above, I honestly just got them cause I thought they'd match my room. I've never been to New York and I'm not emotionally attached to these as I am with the other things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a good investment though cause these three prints have been with me to a couple of my styling projects and photo shoots.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
The photo above is the left side of my TV.<br />
<br />
It's initially supposed to be my accessories area which is now housing the overflow of books that I have. I have this problem of hoarding books from the sale section of bookstores.<br />
<br />
A good way to collect all of your loose odds and ends is to get a cute little decorative dish and place them all into the dish.<br />
<br />
Also, a good way to store or display your bracelets and bangles would be to go to the kitchen section of the department store and grab a mug tree.<br />
<br />
Here I have another inspiration board filled with funny quotes and pictures of the guys from Nsync.<br />
<br />
Don't ask.<br />
<br />
Finally, I'd like to show you my washi wall.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipiq8atD0REsc0W94OaKIABHmhtgR7P8M8lLZEBeNa8UMHDFpr5A7yz_-NixkNbWqJOYNkr5vdr2vfeWZqk-FFWWO3ojqfh4anUn_IdTkRlbLrtHnCRD8jRz5vg7Ss8If9veIs4hwdV-I/s1600/PicsArt_1398184284856.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipiq8atD0REsc0W94OaKIABHmhtgR7P8M8lLZEBeNa8UMHDFpr5A7yz_-NixkNbWqJOYNkr5vdr2vfeWZqk-FFWWO3ojqfh4anUn_IdTkRlbLrtHnCRD8jRz5vg7Ss8If9veIs4hwdV-I/s1600/PicsArt_1398184284856.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Here I keep random tickets, photos and letters that I just feel like I cannot part with. They're all stuck on the wall with washi tape.<br />
<br />
I kinda think it's a bad idea to stick things onto your wall with washi tape cause I'm sure it'll leave a mark but oh well!<br />
<br />
I'm sure I'll find a way to cover it up when I do decide to bring these down.<br />
<br />
So, that's pretty much most of my room.<br />
<br />
Your room doesn't have to be impeccably clean to be beautiful. It simply needs to reflect your personality.<br />
<br />
(That was me trying to justify my clutter.)<br />
<br />
So, that's it for me, for now!<br />
<br />
Let us know what else you'd like to see from us.<br />
<br />
Or just let us know that we're not talking to ourselves here.<br />
<br />
Well....<br />
<br />
Alright!<br />
<br />
Talk to you later!<br />
<br />
