I was obsessed rather. It stopped due to college and they couldn't fit my budget. Now that I'm working, I'd love to spare some time to read. I need some me time of reading soon. <br /><br />Anyway, I'm glad to hear that you're starting to live a minimal life. You chose the right lifestyle. I'm so happy for you!<br /><br /><a href="https://theastron.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Love, Fads | The Ästron</a><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/imfads/" rel="nofollow">Instagram</a> • <a href="https://twitter.com/imfads" rel="nofollow">Twitter</a>Augustin Rahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10710761950086078137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107395693497557535.post-60913738569280113342020-02-27T21:14:33.709+08:002020-02-27T21:14:33.709+08:00baemilanes already readbaemilanes already readAugustin Rahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10710761950086078137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107395693497557535.post-1805014610016383842020-02-27T21:08:42.127+08:002020-02-27T21:08:42.127+08:00I still have books from previous fairs na hanggang...I still have books from previous fairs na hanggang ngayon hindi ko pa nababasa. :( they were books na I thought seemed nice, or has a good plot. but my actions are always based on my emotions, so If I dont feel depressed or anything, im not gonna read a sad novel. Something like that. So for some books, I never got the right mood to read them and really absorb the story. Some books hanggang ngayon gusto ko pa bigyan ng chance kahit years ko na hindi binabasa. <br /><br />Now what I do is bring a specific book with me wherever I go, so when Im bored mapipilitan ako basahin cos I have nothing else to do (I dont have 3G on my phone, so when im out, I have zero wifi access), and maybe that would help kickstart my mood again para mainspire akong ituloy tuloy lang ang basa. <br /><br />I almost never finish a book kasi either di ko gusto ung flow ng story enough for me to continue of it its self-help, once gets ko na ung essence and I feel paulit ulit lang ng sinasabi, I just stop reading. Now that I thought of it.. A lot of books I finished this year are self help. LOL. madali sila basahin kasi freeflowing unlike novels, mabilis ako malito esp pag maraming characters (Ex: Crazy Rich Asians). <br /><br />I've done a lot of decluttering before. Until now. Paulit ulit. Some I was able to sell. Some X Deal na lang kasi I suck at selling - and yes I'm acknowledging that. Haha. Sometimes I look for an appropriate reader para mas intentional ang bigay, hindi lang para makapag declutter.Augustin Rahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10710761950086078137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107395693497557535.post-52000110844300286612020-02-27T21:08:19.022+08:002020-02-27T21:08:19.022+08:00I'm in the process of packing my stuff and I&#...I'm in the process of packing my stuff and I've sold and given away a lot of stuff and there are some left that I still have to give away or sell. I can now fit some of my stuff like books, school supplies, and shoes in three medium-sized boxes. Unlike before, my mom had to provide balikbayan boxes just for each category. I'm excited to pack my clothes once I already have a box. I can't wait to separate some I no longer need and want. Hehe! <br /><br />Letting go of something you really love is difficult. It involves a lot of feelings but if you're sure enough to pursue of your WHY, then, it would be easy throughout the process, Ate Karen. It takes time, though. ;)Augustin Rahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10710761950086078137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107395693497557535.post-49523851394503286982020-02-27T21:08:13.068+08:002020-02-27T21:08:13.068+08:00I still have the books I bought when I was in high...I still have the books I bought when I was in high school. Wow, that's ten years already! I wanted to give away my books before I left, but I feel sad every time, so I just left it at home. But you are right; downsizing is worth it if someone with the same interest will be happy to receive your books. I think I have given away a few books, but I'm still not ready to let go most of it!Augustin Rahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10710761950086078137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107395693497557535.post-71007859981388861252020-02-27T21:08:04.069+08:002020-02-27T21:08:04.069+08:00That's better than I expected!

I was so happy when I got my 100th book. Then...Yes! I was so happy when I got my 100th book. Then the number just kept on increasing. Haha! <br /><br />Congrats on finishing your studies and having a job, Fads! It's also one of my goals to teach and hope I could some day. I think we have the same major if I'm not wrong. I try to insert a little reading time once in a while and it helps. However, it's much better if I could give an hour or two or even a day just for reading but my Netflix life consumes majority of my time if I'm not working. Haha!<br /><br />Thank you, Fads! I'm also happy for you. I wasn't even aware that some of my actions since I was a kid was how a minimalist live and now, I'm on the journey of embracing it fully!Augustin Rahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10710761950086078137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107395693497557535.post-64657405726993091602020-02-27T21:08:01.047+08:002020-02-27T21:08:01.047+08:00I still am.I still am.Augustin Rahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10710761950086078137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107395693497557535.post-85662793261426028052020-02-27T21:08:00.041+08:002020-02-27T21:08:00.041+08:00I'm happy and sad at the same time that you...I'm happy and sad at the same time that you're giving away your books. Still I look at the bright side that you'll be much happier living the minimalist life. I know that in the near future when you could own your own house, you'll be having your own library (minimalist style) hehe. Good luck with your plans. Hoping for the best. :)Augustin Rahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10710761950086078137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107395693497557535.post-79291518382335089102020-02-27T21:07:59.385+08:002020-02-27T21:07:59.385+08:00At first, I actually thought that I'll be lone...At first, I actually thought that I'll be lonely decreasing the number of books I have and giving them all away but it was the other way around. I felt there was a heavy weight removed from me and this lifestyle changed me for the better and how I look at life and things. Thank you, Bill. You, too. :)Augustin Rahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10710761950086078137noreply@blogger.com
