lesson #130: confessions of a worrywart

You'd think that after the exams there'd be nothing to worry about. It is after all a month of freedom that we're talking about here! How wrong can one get... I am suddenly faced with a whole lot of problems and annoyances to accompany me throughout this jolly holiday month. Nemesis Himself materialised in the form of skin problems. My face! Eet eez ruined. Zits are popping up in places they've never popped up before, such as my cheek. My cheek! My pores are more open-minded than I am. My skin is irritated, dry, and peeling off.


Reasons I have come up with to explain why all hells have broken loose (in my face):
1. Late nights. Vow to self to sleep latest by 11 pm, starting from today!
2. Stupid facial cleanser which did NOT work its magic. Supposed to be exfoliating, anti-aging defense formula'ed. Find a better product.
3. Long days spent outside (esp in school during exam period) without washing face properly. Excessive exposure to air-con. Must spend less time in school (that's easy enough).
4. Use of oil-control powder everyday. My theory is that the powder has sucked all the nutritious oils from my face and left it high and dry. Stupid evil powder. Must find a better product.
5. Too many chocolates.
6. Lack of orange juice and other forms of juices and nutritious, healthy food. Now working on this - have just finished one carton of orange juice.
7. Period. Will have to wait this out... stupid hormones! Really hoped it'll come late this month but noooooooh. It has to come right on the dot (pun intended).


So I'm supposed to be having a fun-filled stayover at Jing's house tomorrow, but now feeling too sluggish to pack. Don't really know where to start. The fact now is that I'm fat, pimply, ugly, and having my period. Booh. Not exactly the right time to feel attractive and all geared up to party. But hey, I'm sure that's why they invented alcohol. Besides, army boys will dance with anything in a skirt, and I'll be wearing my fluffy pleated skirt.


Will procrastinate on the packing a little bit more and just snuggle up in bed now. Am hugging the festive bear beanie N gave me a long time ago, when my face was nicer. It's festive because it's green with a fluffy red fur collar. Yes, I know. A green bear.
