Seven Shots on Wednesday: "A Room of My Own"

7 questions about your room:

1. What does your room look like? Is it clean or messy?
My room pretty messy. It bugs my mom, who's obsessive-compulsive about being clean. I used to have a twin bed in my room up until a few weeks ago, when I bought a sofa bed with a green floral print fabric that matches my throwpillows perfectly. It's between my full-length mirror and an antique night table. My old school stuff are stacked in a pile in one corner and my schoolbags (I have different bags depending on the day's mood) are next to it, as well as an old glass center table from the living room where I put my other school stuff and miscellaneous. Along the wall opposite the sofa is my TV and mini-component (one that used to sit in my dad's apartment in Jeddah), with my collection of old cassette tapes and Broadway CDs, as well as lotsa books to satiate my boredom.

2. What posters do you have on the walls? What else do you have on your walls?
I just have one framed poster of a sleeping kid beside a golden labrador. I keep it on the wall because it says "The future belongs to those who dream" along the bottom. Other than that, I have a wall clock that's set half an hour early. ^_^

3. What color are the walls? Is there wallpaper? If so, what does it look like?
Nah, I don't have wallpaper, just off-white walls. Pretty boring, I know.

4. Do you have toys, models, figurines, or other collectibles in your room? Like
what?
I was supposed to have a little stuffed-toy exhibit in my room before, but then I had that big bed. Maybe now I can do that. As for now, I have old magazines from my teeny-bopper days, old Archie comics, and angel figurines. Oh yeah, and I also have a scale model of a fantasy set that was my final project in TECDRA2. A lousy attempt at designing The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe in springtime.

5. Whose pictures are on your desk/dresser/night table/whatever?
Right now, I have a studio picture of myself, as well as pictures of my 2 best friends, Iam and Rosa.

6. What's your closet like? What do you have in it? Okay, besides your clothes, what
else?
Wow, my closet's a mess. Other than clothes, I have old makeup, old jewelry, and other accessories, such as hats and scarves. There's an old shoebox with old pictures, as well as negatives to all pictures I've taken. A teeny kiddie chest of drawers is also in there, given my by cousin Shirley when I visited her in Washington. That's where I stash the money that I keep for a rainy day.

7. What "goodies" do you have hidden in your room?
There are pictures of my boyfriend along the back wall of my closet, cleverly concealed by my clothes and the chest of drawers. ^_^

Now for Friday Five.

When was the last time you...

1. ...sent a handwritten letter?
A couple of weeks ago. It was for my boyfriend. I'm working on a couple more this weekend. One is actually a retreat letter for Kitin. Her retreat will be this Wednesday until Thursday.

2. ...baked something from scratch or made something by hand?
The last time I baked or cooked something was last summer, when I was bored one early afternoon that I decided to make French toast.

3. ...camped in a tent?
I've never camped in a tent before. When I was in third grade, my mom didn't even let me join the Girl Scouts' camping after my investiture.

4. ...volunteered your time to church, school, or community?
Wow, it's been a pretty long time since I did that. The last time was November of last year, during the YFC Campus Conference. We went to this rural place near my village and we got to talk to the people there. And we all had fun.

5. ...helped a stranger?
Wow, I meet a lot of strangers that I lose track of this one.
