Gifts from me to me

One of my favourite person that I like to give gifts is none other than myself because I like to prioritize myself as much as I value my inner circle. This month is special because it’s my birth month, so these are the gifts that I bought for myself to celebrate me.

Most of the time I stuck between, “I sort of have all I want” and “I have nothing” which makes things little difficulty when I have to think what I really want. But I like bags and footwear and love to have a collection of it. So I keep buying them even amidst my mum’s reminders that I have enough. I was going around Nick Nack to select a birthday gift for myself when I saw a handbag and I immediately knew that it is what’s gonna be my gift for myself. It came in three colours; black, yellow and green and I selected the latter because I like the festive feeling that it gives. Risking how materialistic it may sound, I still wanna say that I’m happy at the new addition to my collection and extra happy that I bought it with my earnings.

I’m into nail arts these days, so the next thing that I bought was nail tips. I haven’t really tried press-on and glued nail tips before and I didn’t wanna make my money go waste due to my lack of experience. As a solution to that, I bought two cheap sets of nail tips to practice first hoping that since the glue is from a good brand, the cheap nail will not do much damage to my natural nails. I tried the first set and it did pretty well for the first attempt. However, it makes everyday scenarios difficult specially when I’m staying alone in the boarding cooking and cleaning by myself. But it is not that hard after we get used to it.

Next is the most precious gift that I gift to myself which is a quality time. Time has become a real luxury when I have to work and attend lectures in the day time and work on my research at the night time. workload and the stress of the final semester are really unbearable, so I want to spend some quality time to stop turning into a zombie. I went to theater four times for this month, but yet it’ not very convenient to go out every time with the limited time. however, that’s not an excuse for me to deprive myself of quality time, so I try to enjoy as much as possible when it is possible even when I’m in the boarding. I’m motivating myself to write more for this platform because I enjoy writing a lot and spend two hours once in every two days to watch a movie and few episodes of a TV series. I’m really enjoy doing these things in the little breaks I’m getting, so keep pushing myself have a quality time even amidst the workload that I don’t know when to finish. However, I tick off all the tasks for the day since my mind - though tired with - is refreshed thanks to the precious gift of quality time I’m giving to myself.

Have a nice day!
