Like treasure. Not.


Sometimes we do not need to use a metal detector.
A third pair of eyes are good enough.
Good enough to see the uncanny.

The uncanny.
Like pretty patterns and shapes.
Distributed evenly.
Only with a layer of fear and dignity.

If you dig deep enough, you might be able to see what you hope to see.
Only its not gold, but only pink feather bower filled with dirt.
Flick off the dirt.
Embrace the feather bower.






It is like a burning sensation, but only its not burning. Hmm.
Its killing you, isn't it?

I love her.

I love her because she is always trying.
I love her because she is always trying her best.
I love her because she encourages, even though its subtle.
I love her because everything feels complete when she's around.
I love her because she will do whatever it takes, for me.
I love her because she cares so much.
I love her because she always support me in whatever decision i make.
I love her because of the little things she does.

I love you, but i wouldn't tell you.
But i know you can tell.

Quote of the day.

I was showering and this quote formed up while i was doing the proper showering procedures.



Love is like a bottle of shaving cream,
when it starts hissing and no white stuff comes out of it,
honey, its gone.





Okay not exactly love, love.
You know what i mean.
Hahaha!
I crack myself up sometimes.
oh which reminds me, i need to stock up on a bottle of love.
i mean shaving cream.

what do i miss the most?

i think it is in the line of the feeling of freedom accompanied by a couple of malt beer,
and walking alone down town, hoping to catch a glimpse of everything that matters.
i miss racing the wind and hearing my own breath going strong in the midst of the cluttered.
the feeling of independence with that one second of serenity.
how dirt and dust collide to create such a wonder.
how trampled souls testify its power in the feat of a defeat.
and how i could defy time just by the mere fact that everything,
has not been carved out they way i wanted.

oh, troubled souls. we will stand up once again.

http://www.wikihow.com/Get-Rid-of-Black-Circles-Under-Your-Eyes

  1. Schedule a blood test with your physician. Establish whether or not this condition runs in your family. Dark circles are believed to frequently be hereditary. This doesn’t mean that you can’t do anything about the conditions, but you should be prepared for minimal success actually trying to get rid of them. Dark circles under the eye may also, in fact, be light carbon deposits that result from incomplete protein digestion. Incomplete protein digestion may result from insufficient hydrochloric acid in your stomach that may be caused from a lack of primarily B6 and Folic Acid. About 30% of the population does not absorb regular B6 (pydroxine) or folic acid and need to take in these vitamins in a different form or another way.
  2. Identify allergens. Allergies may be the most common cause of skin discoloration under the eyes. If allergies are the root of your problem, you simply need to treat them or remove the allergen (i.e., the thing to which you are allergic). Seasonal allergy problems such as the hay fever can frequently be effectively treated with over-the-counter and prescription medications. For other allergies the best course of action is usually avoidance. If your dark circles or puffiness are constant, you may have an undetected food allergy or an allergy to a chemical in your home or workplace. Talk to a dermatologist for help determining what you may be allergic to. People with allergies also tend again to be deficient in B6, folic acid and B12 on occasion. Taking a multivitamin, if you don't already, may help with your allergies as well as black circles.
  3. Bloodshot Eye
    Bloodshot Eye
    Get plenty of sleep nightly. It’s not entirely clear why inadequate sleep results in dark circles under the eyes, but we’ve all seen it happen either to ourselves or someone we know. For one thing, lack of sleep tends to cause the skin to become paler (thus increasing the appearance of darkness under the eyes), and it reduces circulation. It’s also believed that too little time lying down is a cause in itself. Determine how much sleep you need (it’s usually 7-9 hours per night, but varies throughout different people) and try to get that amount regularly for a couple of weeks to see if that helps. Remember that alcohol and drugs can adversely affect the quality of your sleep; abstain from these products or use only in moderation for best results. A lack of sleep, coupled with poor vitamin absorption also tends to reduce adrenal function. The less adrenal function you have the less B6 you tend to absorb, the less B6 you absorb, the less well your adrenal glands work and alas you end up in a vicious circle. Sleep, regular vitamins for those that need them, and good calcium/magnesium support in the form of milk or good mineral supplement restores adrenal function. So if you want to break the cycle and the black circles under your eyes, you've got to reduce your stress, sleep more and take the proper vitamins and minerals to support the adrenal function in general.
  4. Treat your skin while you sleep. There are overnight facial masques available that may help reduce the appearance of puffiness or discoloration, but you can also make your own. Just before you go to bed, take a washcloth and wet it just a bit with cold water. Then squeeze out any excess water and place it over your eyes as you sleep. Treating your skin may help, but the real problem may also be that you have a poor vitamin and mineral absorption problem that must also be corrected. Seeing a naturopathic physician may help for those people who suffer other ailments such as miscellaneous aches and pains that come and go and a general run down feeling.
  5. Cucumber Therapy
    Cucumber Therapy
    Apply cool tea bags, an ice cube wrapped in soft cloth, or cucumber slices to your eyes daily. The tannin in tea bags has been shown to reduce swelling and discoloration, and cucumber slices have long been used to reduce puffiness and refresh the appearance of skin around the eyes. Lie down, preferably in the morning, and leave fresh cucumber slices or cool, damp caffeinated tea bags (you can refrigerate them overnight so they’ll be ready) over your eyes for about 10-15 minutes. Keep your eyes closed.

  1. Try to relax the space. You can do this by wetting a cotton swab and then freezing it for a little while. Then you should gently wipe under your eyes in the areas where the circles are occurring. When wiping, close your eyes and try not to flinch.
  2. Apply an eye cream containing vitamin K and retinol. Dark circles may be caused by a deficiency of vitamin K. Regardless of the cause, however, recent research has shown that skin creams containing these two ingredients reduce puffiness and discoloration significantly in many patients. Long-term daily use seems to have the greatest effect.
  3. Avoid rubbing your eyes. Usually rubbing of the eyes is brought on by allergies, but not always. Regardless of the reason, stop doing it. The rubbing irritates the skin and can break tiny capillaries beneath the skin, causing both puffiness and discoloration.
  4. Eat a healthy, balanced diet, take vitamins, and drink plenty of water. A whole host of cosmetic problems can be attributed to vitamin deficiencies. Dark circles and puffiness are often attributed to lack of vitamin K or inadequate antioxidants. Also, a deficiency in B12 (usually anemia-related) can result in dark circles. Be sure to get plenty of fruits and vegetables—especially cabbage, spinach, and other leafy green vegetables—and take a daily vitamin supplement if necessary. Get adequate fluids to improve circulation.
  5. Reduce salt intake. Excess salt causes the body to retain water in unusual places, and this can result in puffiness under the eyes. Too much salt can also impair your circulation, and cause the blood vessels under the skin to appear bluer.
  6. Quit smoking. Smoking causes vascular (blood vessel) problems that can not only threaten your life, but also make your blood vessels appear more prominent and bluer beneath the skin.


Tips

  • Try drinking two glasses of cranberry juice a day, you will need to do this for at least a week before you start noticing a difference.
  • Food allergies and sensitivities play a major part in under-eye circles. Processed foods with artificial colors and preservatives as well as milk allergies can cause this problem.
  • Search the Internet which abounds with home remedies. While the most common are cucumbers and tea bags, there are a number of others. Feel free to test them out, as some may work for some people, but use common sense.
  • Vitamin K cream helps to diminish dark under eye circles.
  • The ingredient in Preparation H that once could shrink the area around the eyes is no longer put in the product in the US, according to their website, so unless you live in Canada, just pass on the Hemorrhoid creams.
  • Cutting onions can help you to cry out some of the moisture under and around your eyes. However it isn't recommended that you carry out this procedure daily but done short-term, it will reduce the darkness under the eyes somewhat. Using the tea bag method under your eyes straight afterwards also helps. The puffiness may not reduce immediately but it will shortly afterwards.
  • Another trick is to put two tablespoons in the freezer for few minutes and apply on the eyes for few seconds, until they are warm. Re-apply if necessary.
  • Dark circles may be caused by inflamed or enlarged veins beneath the skin. Try taking butcher's broom. Taken daily, this common herb (used to treat weak circulation, hemorrhoids and varicose veins) has been effective in reducing dark circles.
  • Wear sunscreen under your eyes, and if you wear it all the time(as you should), try to put a stronger spf under your eyes than you do on your face. This way, the skin under your eyes does not darken as quickly as the rest of your face; so your circles seem lighter. If you do this all year, you may end up not needing concealer at all.
  • Try eye exercises. It can rejuvenate your periorbital skin by improving circulation.

freedom week.





I hate the occasional impulse buying of things that i don't really need at this point of time,
and i clearly know that there are way better things to spend my money on.
for instance, i had a clear mind when i was going to Watson's,
but my vision got blurry, my heart skipped a beat and my anxiety level went up.
and i left Watson's with a box of toothpaste packed in a golden box
that promises a set of pearlie whites (fingers crossed!).
and i left John little with St Ive's peeling facial mask
when i already have a heaping pile of masks at home.
Oh well. i am a sucker for cheap adverts and pretty boxes.
and i am in advertising. Go figure.



I was somewhat forced to watch a movie which synopsis was described to me as,
a good Spanish horror movie. My initial thoughts was a monstrous version of ugly betty.
Ugly betty starts chomping on humans and grow fatter.
Anyway, i was further encouraged to watch it cause of the ratings which was 4 stars.
So i did watched the English subtitled movie.
The starting of the movie was somewhat draggy.
But when the climax starts to hit on high,
a couple of startled moments and tiny screams were made,
and then came in the louder screams at the later part of the movie.
It was something i do not expect to watch.
It was so good. Left me high with fear.
Go watch!

the ho-down is here.

Finally it is fucking over. Assessments are so over.
The amount of sweat dripped and t-shirts i had to change were countless.
I am so glad all the stress and what nots are gone!
I do not have to worry when i sleep.
Worry about the little things.
Worry about rushing to the printing shop to beat the queue.
worry about the alignments, the details, the urgh.. its over.
Its not that i do not enjoy doing it, the process is tedious.
I have been sleeping like a dog.
It feels great to have the whole day to myself,
not thinking about anything else except what to eat,
or what's on tv, or should i part my hair left or right.
I am like a free bird. I can breathe again.
The whole being as a person is somewhat being revived again.
My face is plumped up again with happy juices flowing in my veins
and my eye bags has reduced. Vain times are back again!
Sleeping is the cure to everything.
Speaking of sleeping, even though i had like 23hours of sleep in a day,
i can't figure out why i do have all these nightmares,
which i do not want to go into details.
It keeps me awake at times.
Gives me the sudden urge to open my eyes,
like the magic that alarm clocks suppose to do.
These horrid dreams are not what i expected.
I told a dear friend, and i got these feedbacks that she kindly googled for me.



Possessed
To dream that you are possessed,
represents your state of helplessness and not being in control of things.

Spirits

To dream that you are talking to an unknown spirit,
forewarns that someone is trying to deceive you.
Generally if the spirit is known
and welcomed it is a sign of great good luck
and/or good fortune in business affairs.

Adultery
To dream that your mate, spouse, or significant other is cheating on you,
indicates your fears of being abandoned.
You may feel some lack of attention in the relationship.
Alternatively, you may feel that you are not measuring up to the expectations of others.


Drugs
To see others drunk in your dream,
signifies much unhappiness for you and those around you.


Cocaine
To dream that you are taking cocaine,
indicates that you are feeling empty and devoid of emotions.
You are looking to get out of your commitments or denying your responsibilities.
You lack ambition.
On a more positive note,
the dream may be telling you that you need to be more lively and energetic.
If you dream that others are taking cocaine means you feel that your spouse,
families or friends should be more lively and energetic.


Family
To see them gloomy, foretells of disappointment and sadness.

Stranger
To see strangers in your dream,
symbolizes the part of yourself that is repressed and hidden.





And this is what she said to me.

says:
OIE
says:
i tink u r seriously fucked up!


I am, indeed.
How bloody true are these interpretations.
Its freaky.
So therefore, the inner grief in me has spoken to me in my dreams.
Giving me signs like, an unknown family sniffing cocaine on a sofa,
and the granny goes, 'it is nice right, child?'
Enough is enough. I think i need the happy pills now.





This is a random snap shot of my mirror
being covered by the list of undone work.
The paper was then burnt,
ashes was scattered into the sea.

I need a good drink so badly.
