Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast!
Hello!
Hello!
Hello, hello!
Oh...
I feel like it's been a while.
No?
Has it?
Uh, yeah.
Yeah?
I feel like...
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm good.
Just fixing the cameras here.
Mm-hmm.
No?
Yeah, I would say it's been a while.
Just one week, though.
Just one week, yeah.
Yeah.
You know what?
I'm just...
I'm not satisfied.
You're not...
You're not settled yet?
Yeah.
Sure.
You can...
Yeah, that's important.
Okay.
Is it?
You know what?
Let me just move this a little bit here.
Okay.
Yeah.
Is it?
What?
You know what?
I'm just sitting on my chair.
Right.
And you're sitting on the sofa.
Uh-huh.
So it's like a...
Yeah.
So that's why you don't feel the, you know...
The beauty.
Right?
Right?
Of the parallelness.
But I guess that's okay.
Is that okay?
Yeah.
I guess it's good.
Okay.
Yep.
Because the last time we sat on this sofa...
Yeah.
...together...
Yeah.
And I felt like I was...
And we were, like, packed.
Yeah, we were packed.
In one place, and I was kind of a bit, you know, too close.
I agree.
So...
I agree.
I decided to use this chair so that I can...
I think it's a better idea.
Yeah.
And now I'm much, like, taller than you are.
Yeah, right.
But...
All right.
Yeah.
How was your week?
Yeah.
My week's been, um...
Lots of, um...
Lots of organizing.
Lots of organizing.
Organizing.
Okay.
What do you mean, organizing?
Yeah, doing a lot of organizing.
You know, just here and there.
Just uh...
What do you mean?
You know, here and there.
What did you do?
What did you organize?
Just, you know, just basic, you know, one to ten...
What did you do?
Just...
What did you do?
Just basic, you know, just, um...
You know, just a...
Just a quick...
Just a quick...
What's that?
What's that?
Just doing a lot of organizing, you know?
What do you mean, organizing?
What's that?
Organizing my room.
You organized your room.
Yes, I have, I have, uh...
I threw away a lot of things that I didn't need.
You know, you should see how my room has transformed over the past couple of weeks.
03:00
It's very, um...
Very different from...
Oh, that's great.
That's great.
You know, a month or two ago, I had my bed, my, my, my electors, my desk, everything, right?
Now, my table, my sofa.
Now all I have is just the bed, desk, TV.
That's it.
Oh, that's great.
So you throw everything away.
I threw everything away.
Yeah, I got a lot of space now in my room.
Yeah.
What, why did you, what made you do the organized things?
I don't know, it's just, um...
I always had it, I always felt like I had it in me.
I've always had it, had this kind of like less item, better kind of thing.
And like...
Are you, are you getting organized?
Are you, are you organizing yourself?
Are you okay?
I just wanted to move this arms into like that way, but you know, we're in the middle
of a recording, so.
Oh, okay.
In the next, yeah.
Yeah, sure.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So just, uh, here and there, in and out, back and forth.
Okay.
Back and forth.
That I don't understand, but...
Okay.
So, so this is the one of...
Oh yeah, this is the sofa that I organized.
Right, right.
Exactly.
This went back and forth.
That was, uh, wrong uses of back and forth, by the way.
You don't use it like that.
Uh, yeah, it's just, this was in my room.
Yeah.
I, uh, I thought it was unnecessary.
Mm-hmm.
If that was in my room anymore.
So I brought it here.
Yeah, that's great.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm, I'm sure this guy's happy too, you know.
Yeah.
Of course.
He's being put to use.
True.
Yeah.
So now you...
I know your room.
Yes.
How your room is like.
Yes.
So, so, so you enter your, like, a genkan.
Oh, my genkan, yeah.
And you through the, the loka, right?
Yes.
Go through the kitchen roka.
Yeah, kitchen roka.
Has that place, has that room changed?
Uh, yeah.
Uh, first of all, the toilet, right?
Remember how you went to the toilet and you were like, "Oh my god, it's overcrowded."
Yeah.
Why do you have a cabinet over your toilet?
Like, that's so...
Yeah.
Right.
I remember that.
It was like, claustrophobic.
Yeah.
It was like a...
Yeah.
Like this huge shelves, like, towering over you, right?
Well, that's gone.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, that's gone.
That tower is over there.
Oh.
It's being used to organize our stuff.
Oh.
In that room.
That was it.
Yeah, that was, it's the same thing.
So that was in your bathroom.
That was in my bathroom.
Wow.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Unbelievable.
It was really big, right?
Very big, right?
You got two shelves.
Two shelves.
Yeah, one of them though.
06:00
Only one of them.
Okay, okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
So, now what I have, instead of that huge towering cabinet, I have...
You know one of those...
Tsuriage...
Tsuriage...
Tana?
Tsuriage Tana?
Like, one of those foldable ones.
Like, there's like boxes of three that's hanging down from a pole.
Do you know what those are?
Like, those tsurushi sagaru cabinet tana?
That's usually there in like a oshire or something.
You fold clothes and you put it in there.
Like, those square ones.
Very square compartments.
Oh, okay.
Three in a row going down.
Usually like cloth.
It's foldable when you're not using them.
You can put some ties or belt in it.
Absolutely.
Okay.
That's what I have.
I have that on top of my toilet where I put my pajamas.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that's so...
So, that's that change.
Okay.
Other than that, I remember I had my tansu in my kitchen.
Yeah, the right side.
Yes, yes.
Which was spacing up my kitchen.
Oh, yes.
That's gone.
Oh.
Yeah, that's gone.
Okay.
So, the inside of that tansu, I bought this under the bed frame kind of hikidashi from Muji Rufi.
Oh, that's great.
I put everything in there.
Oh, cool.
Yes.
So, you made more space.
Oh, that's great.
Great to hear that.
Oh, yes.
Okay.
So, those two are the biggest game changer that I've done.
Game changer.
That's great.
And inside the room too, right?
Yes, inside the room.
Then when you enter the room, so what do you have?
Okay.
So, when you enter the room, so the other end, there's the window, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, against the window, I have my bed.
Okay.
Now, you have your bed against the window.
Okay.
Yes.
Okay.
Against it.
So, which is kind of like clogging up the window space.
Yeah.
But I guess that was unnecessary sacrifice to me.
Okay.
You don't go out through the window, right?
I sometimes do to my laundry.
Okay.
Yeah.
Isn't it unconvincing for you if you block the window?
So, I didn't completely block out.
I have this small space for me to go through.
Okay.
Yeah.
So, I use that.
So, not too much of a pain in the ass.
09:02
Okay.
Great.
So, the bed's there.
And then, so when you open the door, so I have the bed, right, on the other side of the room.
On my left, there's the desk.
Okay.
The desk.
Right next to my desk, there's the TV.
Okay.
Okay.
Right?
And my room is finished.
Oh, it's so clean up.
Yeah, very clean.
So, I have this huge space.
When you enter my room, I have this huge space right in front of me.
Wow.
Yeah.
That sounds great.
That sounds cool.
Yeah, it feels great to have, you know, have an organized, very simple room.
Like, it's not that I'm going for a minimalist or anything like that.
But it just feels great to know that, you know, every time you come back to the room, it just feels great to have an organized, non-messed up room.
Oh, that's great.
Yeah.
Well, that's great.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Yeah.
I wonder.
Oh my god.
So, are you trying to keep throwing everything out?
Yes, as much as possible.
As much as possible.
As much as possible.
If necessary, if unnecessary, I'm throwing them out.
Like, I'm on a huge, huge winning streak.
Oh, that's cool.
Like, all right, I have not used it for several months.
I think it's time for me to trash this out.
Including all that, like clothes.
Absolutely, clothes.
Things.
Furnitures, some random item shit that you find, right?
Yeah.
What else have I thrown away?
I've thrown away some boxes, like plastic, you know, the boxes you use to organize shit.
Okay.
That I've thrown a lot away.
Some little, some little, enchu membo no, plastic no.
You always think, oh shit, I'm going to probably use this somehow.
This little, this plastic enchu shit.
Yeah.
The membles are in, you know those, right?
Yeah.
Membles are gone.
Membles are gone.
It's just pure plastic.
Do you still keep it?
No, maybe I should put some, I don't know, like, I don't know, maybe some hand cream,
lipstick in there, just keep it in there.
Yeah, I have like three of those.
I threw it away.
That's better, I think.
Haven't you ever kept that before?
Like, I feel like that's something that everyone keeps, right?
Everyone's like, oh shit, this is such a good container for you.
No, really?
That plastic?
That plastic little shit.
No.
No?
Don't keep it?
No.
Oh damn.
I think you're in the minorities here.
Yeah.
Because you're like that, like an organizer.
I am an organizer.
12:00
Well, like the born organizer in a different way.
Oh yes.
Than right now, I think.
Yeah.
Because you keep all those containers, the boxes to organize, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Before like a few months ago.
And now you throw these away.
They're all gone.
To organize in different ways.
Oh yes.
Oh yes.
So it's a...
So I have a different style.
Yeah.
I'm an organization.
That's great.
Yeah.
It's great.
Proud of myself.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yep.
That's great.
Instead of that, have you any plan to buy things?
Or like that you got your space now, right?
Yeah, I don't have any plans.
You don't have any plans.
Now you're just throwing everything away?
Yes, yes.
I thought about getting like a solo sofa.
This is a two seater.
I thought about getting like a one seater.
But I thought, okay, instead of buying it, just let me live with no sofa.
And if I desperately need it, I'll think about buying a solo sofa.
Yeah, that's my plan.
Yeah, I think that's a great plan.
Yeah.
Start from zero.
And really feel like really like understand what I really need.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
That's great.
Yes.
Great to hear that.
Yes.
Organization.
It feels good.
It feels great.
Yeah.
Yes.
Great.
All righty.
Thanks for listening guys.
Bye bye.
