One of my bad memories from childhood perhaps, the worst, was that I was bullied. That's one memory that really stick out in my mind. Violence against children by their peers or classmates has received little attention here in the Philippines, possibly due to the perception that bullying and fighting among children is part of a child's growing up. Sure you heard you parents say "away bata lang yan" which has become the common excuse. Yeah, petty fight among kids are just normal but to be bullied was different. The situation is something to be pitied about. A situation which a kid shouldn't go through. It isn't normal or a rite of passage for children. My memory takes me back to the days when going to school was a nightmare. I felt awful about myself. It was not easy to speak up about my situation to my parents thinking that it would make the situation much more worse, I am afraid they might retaliate for doing so. The bullies won't talk to me. As though it was below their dignity to do so. They laugh at me everyday. They did mean things to me. Why was I bullied by the way ?  Because I am boyish, thin, less bright ( I am a late bloomer you know) and the crush of the head bully's  crush ( she envied me for being beautiful, haha). Even my friends turned their backs to save themselves from this tyrannic bullies. I had no idea how to stand up for myself. I suddenly lost interest in going to school. I would make excuses just so I couldn't go to school. It changed my life.  Day by day, I became increasingly walled-off. That's how I became the loner type. No one wants to befriend me. I found my escape through books, the only place I could escape to. By the time I reached highschool, it was hard for me to coax myself out of my shell. It was a dreadful experience. Thank God, slowly, I was able to to build my confidence and improve my fragile self-esteem. My experience explains why I had no close friends. If I could only turn back time. I should have done something about it. 

Waking up to find a  big red pimple on your nose or anywhere right on your face baring itself for all to see is a scary yet funny beauty scenario you wouldn't want to be in. It's everyones worst nightmare. Yesterday, I made this grave mistake of squeezing a blackhead on my left cheek. I know the beauty commandment " thou shall not squeeze your pimples but I couldn't resist myself from squeezing. It feels like that blackhead has been there for months and no matter how I wash and exfoliate it, it wouldn't just go away. It's too disgusting to look at in the mirror. I'm not used to having blackheads. Now I'm still living with the mistake. I have this huge red bump on my face and it seems like it going to explode anytime. Thanks God, it happened on my summer break and right after my OJT, that saves me for now I reckon. I have to keep myself barred at home. What's left for me to do now is help myself get rid of it quickly before my summer escapade :) 

So much for the talk here are the tips I'm talking about :

Tip 1 : Don't ever squeeze, pinch or pick at a pimple. This could worsen the situation.

Tip 2 : Wash your face 2-3 times a day with a specialized acne cleanser. 

Tip 3 : Every 45 minutes, apply an  ice pack ( make sure it's clean ) to the affected are / pimple for about 3 minutes.  This helps ease the inflammation.

Another sluggish and lame afternoon. I was on my laptop while eating some fried sweet potatoes. Just got my FB status updated . Listening to this heart and gut-wrenching song over the radio, I've driven myself and sister nuts with my painful attempts at hitting the high notes. The mere fact that I was able to hit the right note once was like a pinch from the heavens. Brushing that all aside, in the middle of my habitual multi-tasking, I found this application Last Night Never Happened . It's a new app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users that promises to erase last night's activity shameful twitter and Facebook posts while you're drunk. This app is a saving grace for those who got carried away and ending up posting embarrassing tweets and posts. I don't find the application useful for me since I don't drink and I don't have an iPhone :D hahaaha. But I would be much happier if it could erase  last night's real time activity. Kiddin. *winks*
