Silver Spring Condo
A home of my own. And it only happened with the help of my grandmother especially, but also my parents, brother and friends. Of course all that makes it actually mean something.

Bookshelf By Husband
Bookshelves by husband: basic standards and brackets on studs on load bearing walls (very important), mdf shelves with painted pine trim tacked to outside edges (mitered corners).
Oriental Spongebob Haven
I really hate clutter, so I try to keep my room as spacey as possible. The black and gold fan is about as big as me, and the gold fan is half its size - I got them both from a Chinese store in the US (as well as the black and white shoji screen). My book collection has gone down a bit; those are the books that I either haven’t read yet, or can’t get rid of. All of the others I’ve given to my sister. My makeup collection is small as well - I’m hoping to add more to it very soon.
Somebody Loves Anime
Subject line says it all. I’m an anime fan. Also a manga, video game, and book fan. I’ve always liked having posters along the walls, and so when we moved to this apartment, I had chance to redecorate. Only I decorated with a bunch of posters and wallscrolls I was able to buy at Yongsan Electronics Market in Seoul for cheap prices, or my friends gave it to me. A shame these posters are not easy to find anymore. And yes, that is a real, living rabbit in my room.
Just about to move out
This room was my first official call for adult hood. It was the first time i was living on my own and since i was in college and a little more grown up I wanted to simplify my room but surround myself with everything I love. I put up the pictures I took when I went back home to the Philippines and as before my collection of high tech products grew. From my beloved canon 9000 pro printer along with my iPhone and Macbook Pro. My room describes me and how I design, my room is somewhere when i lean back and take my eyes away from my computer for just that one second and breathe. I can look around and just be happy at where i’ve been and the things I’ve done. Can’t wait for my next big move!
My dark little haven
Ancient image from a year ago right after renovations (paint, installed hardwood flooring, some new furniture). To be honest, my inspiration for my room was from an Ikea showroom. Hehe. It’s wayy messier now but I’ll take a more updated picture later.
