Some progress on the books

I’ve been trying to clear of some stuff that is taking up space in my room.

One of those things are books. They took up quite a bit of cupboard space. If I keep them any longer, the pages are going to turn yellow. So I have decided to sell them off while I can.

I put up a notice at a forum more than a month ago. There was little response until today. Two people want to buy some of my books.

This is good news, I can finally make some space in the cupboard and rearrange the books I want to keep.

I have just paid RM300 for life-time membership at MBPJ library. Since I joined the library a year ago, I have bought very few books.

Strangely, I feel that owning books, DVDs and CDs is suffocating for me. I don’t want to let “things” take over my space. After a while, it feels like they’re taking over my life because I have to clean them, arrange them and I must take them along if I need to move to some other places.  They make the living space messy and will end up being thrown away.

My life need not be burdened by extra weight from “stuff”.

A guy’s priorities

Everyone has his/her own priorities in life. The difference is whether or not we include people as part of our lifes’ priorities. These people may be our parents, spouse, children, boyfriend or girlfriend etc.

What happens when you’ve been shown that the person you love has little interest to make plans for a future together?

He has lots of plans and wants to own many things. “Things” are very important whether or not it is some new gadget, a new car or a new TV.

What about something for the girl friend? What about saving for future, putting a roof over their heads, getting food on the table etc…

In the first place, is he able to make a promise to his girl friend? Will she ever get to see the ring? their house?

I am not saying a guy must provide everything but there is no need to continue if they are not going to share a life in future. The future is not tomorrow or the days after, months or years ahead. The future starts now.
