lesson #43: WHAAAH-TCHOO!

There's a new, au naturel source of water in my house. It can generate quite a plentiful amount of water, despite the intermittent sneezing and snorting sounds it makes.


GUESS WHAT IT IS??


My friggin' nose. It's been runny all day long. Don't know how many tissues I used up. Am really tempted now to stick a tissue paper up each nostril to stop the running, a la this girl in my class in Sec school. She really did that. In public. Where everybody in the class could see. I think me and my clique then (E-ed, Mimi, Fio - di mana loe??) had quite a few laughs out of that. Which was very mean of us. I think it's karma now that I'm also down with a nose that just keeps churning out Non-Stop Hits.


Anyway, despite having been sick all day long, I still managed to go and have a short shopping trip after G's shortlived stint in a badminton championship thingummy. He won the first game and lost the second one, and that was that. It's not that he isn't good, just that his opponents were better. And cuter (the male opponent - they played mixed doubles). But also fatter! Had to add that last bit just in case G explodes in a jealous rage.


Guess where I went? Forever 21. And splurged a wholesome $58. $38 on a peach dress (well, it's actually a top, but it's long enough to be worn as a rather short dress), $11 on a gold-themed baubled bracelet, and $9 on black / silver earrings. G got himself what he named "Army Specs", ie. a pair of eyeglasses to be worn during his impending re-service days. The total came up to a mere $60.90. 'Mere' as compared to my $420. Baaaah. Why must I go and have that Armani pair? There were quite a few nice, quirky ones at the cheap shop just now! $48 for frame + lens. Totally worth it... Just in case you're interested, the optics shop is called Vision One, located at Lucky Plaza #02-108.
