What a difference a chair makes...

For the past five years, i've had this gray fabric desk chair, which i borrowed/took from my dad.. It had wheels and would rotate and have different heights.. It was good.. your basic office chair..

This poor chair has tolerated my ass (and my ass has tolerated that chair) for the past 5 years, on the goods days and th bad days.. I'd sit on it while i studied, while i worked on the computer, and sometimes i'd even stand on it (3 am-studying syndrome).. we're talking somewhere around 5 hours each day.. and it still survived..

Sometimes i'd think about replacing it, but then i'd push it to the back of my mind and forget about it.. i mean, if it's not broken, why fix it? (or in this case, replace it?)

But last month, I fell in love..

I went to Ikea, and saw this chair i liked, it's gorgeous; high back, curved, black leather.. and it costs 1,000+. No way i can afford that (if it were a pair of shoes, it would've been different, but whatever :P ).. AAAAAh

Last week, i decided to just go ahead with it; mu butt deserves such a gorgeous chair.. I went and bought it, plus a cute little plastic carpet thing that goes under it..

I'm still in love..

And it's worth every halala..

Moral of the Story: If you spend a lot of time on a desk/computer, you should NEVER skimp on a chair. Your butt deserves a good expensive chair, so get one. It feels soooo good!

And here is my new love..




Isn't it gorgeous?? :D

In glad you are enjoying your new chair.. I mean if you really want something get it, always pamper yourself so that you can give others. (esp. in a job like yours, very demanding)..
Mabrook girl..
