Mom once told me that I am a garbage collector because I would collect newspapers and old magazines. I would cut pictures especially photographs of houses and foods and I would put them in a folder, ( I can't explain why :)) My college notebooks was one of them though they don't have pictures ^_^
Last night during my hyperactivity time ( I'm a night owl), I was cleaning my bookshelves when I stumbled on my old college notebooks. As I arrange it on the bookshelves I thought of throwing some of it on garbage since I have little space in my apartment and it's becoming crowded with books and old notebooks (Think of it as a library LOL!). Well, its been 10 years I've been keeping it, I scanned it first when I stumbled on this note about becoming a lady... I remember copying this in one of a published books I have read in our college library. Here it is:
