My first ever ukay-ukay (Pinoy slang for second-hand goods sale) is a success!
I'm moving to a new country next month. And I plan to travel light. I've been doing an inventory of items to keep, items to let go of. Over the weekend I got to choose the first eleven things I'm saying goodbye to:
- A black MNG messenger bag
- A brown H&M messenger bag (a Beijing find)
- A brown Net (Taipei brand) satchel
- An orange Salad bag (a HK find)
- A white Charles & Keith purse
- black and white pearls
- pink & cream Forever 21 strands
- Liz Claiborne charm bracelet
- wooden bangles
- maroon & gold charm bangles
- green pendant necklace
I sent a Facebook private message to my office mates Sunday evening. In minutes, they were already reserving items. When I arrived in the office today, Monday, everything was sold out in less than 20 minutes. Bongga!
I was ecstatic to have sold everything. But I must admit, a part of me is having some sort of separation anxiety. But because my stuff are now owned by people I know and care for, I'm assured they'll be in good hands. Ang weird ko.
As I wrote on my "stuff" blog entry last year, I enjoy fashion, style, and the shopping that come with them but I know these are stuff I can let go of. In the grand scheme of things, I like them a lot but they're not what I hold dear in my life.
I must be ruthless in sorting my stuff. I don't want to pay for excess baggage.
Next items up for grabs...
