I am afraid of needles. So for me to overcome that fear, I have decided to get inked. Not in the near future, but definitely get inked. I see a lot of my friends already doing it (shoutout to Slice! Julie! Cha! Eo!) and I can’t do what they do. No half sleeves or near the ankle or back tats for me. I just want this one.
For me, it’s enough. This is enough. :)
I’m quite pleased to announce I have kicked this bad habit. And I’m quite happy to have a friend who’s willing to exhibit it for me for this day’s challenge, even though he’s already exerting efforts in quitting.
Thanks, Allan. :)
So the day’s challenge comes at a time when the Philippine government is trying to ban smoking in all public places. It’s quite sad since our President smokes, and some of our legislators too. I heard Chiz Escudero say that the law should also respect the personal space of smokers, not just the non-smokers. I think what he’s trying to say is, the law should not require everyone to just stop smoking because for some, it is a compulsion, if not an addiction that they’re still in the process getting rid of.
I quite agree with that. I mean, quitting smoking is quite hard. There is a component in cigarettes that makes it addictive to the user. And it’s really a process. Some people say just go cold turkey, but let’s admit it; some are made of harder stuff. So there. I like the designated smoking spaces rule. At least they’re just confined to one space and non-smokers will just have to avoid that area.
Anyway, good luck to quitting. You’ll notice the difference when you quit. :)
I guess I’m writing this because I am so frustrated at the rate my hair is growing… which is slow. ANNOYING. I’ve been itching to have my hair in a fishtail braid, but because it’s too short STILL, I can’t seem to do anything with it but let it down.
I can not for the love of God figure out how this girl managed to pull off magenta hair! I've been dying for some hair color myself, but yeah, I lack the guts to just hop on a chair and just friggin' do it.
Quite impossible for me to have this hair, since I am eternally straight. Jaja said something about digital perming, and I can only trust Tony and Jackey to do that. But the money? Yeah. That I have to come up with on my own. But I have a sinking feeling that even after that perm, my hair will still be as straight as a board. :(
And of course, I have endlessly hated Zooey Deschanel for having the most perfect brown hair ever. EVER. Ugh.
And let us all blame this talented songstress for having perfected the tussled hair.
I read from Little Women that Jo’s hair is her one true beauty. Of course, at the end, we learn that it’s not true, but it would hurt to have pretty hair! It’s not that my hair is not pretty; I just wish it’s longer so I can do this:
And this:
GAAAAh. Foine. I’ll stop talking about hair now.
Back to work.
My dad brought home the fruits of his banana tree at work. I know it’s weird to have a tree in the office; he manages an emission testing center in Cavite. They have a hut there since most days, the heat is too much for the staff to take, so for lunch that’s where they take a break. They decided to install some shade so they started planting trees and maintaining the ones that were already there. This is the banana they got from one of those trees.
I know right. It’s humongous. Can’t wait for it to turn yellow. :)
