~May Your Light Shine :D~

It has been more than a week since I last blogged, been wanting to but either could not find the time or had nothing to blog about.

I am blogging today because I am not in a very good mood. Why? I DO NOT like spending money, and I have just been coerced into buying some expensive milk cleanser and refreshing wash for my face. No, they did not use a knife or a gun. All they did was simply to say if I do not use their products, my face will get worse. You see, I have already spent an obscene amount of money on my face, only to realize it has not helped very much. And when I went to another facial salon, I was told the treatment I had was not suitable for my skin. In fact, it has caused my skin to become sensitive! Great, I just finished 20 sessions of that treatment and when I still have 12 more to go, I went ahead to buy 5 more sessions from this new salon (If you are wondering why on earth did I buy so many sessions for, its because I was told that I needed at least 30 sessions to get flawless skin)

Yes, I am more gullible than I appear to be. But behind the naivety, is my innate desire to have a good complexion. Not that having bad complexion is detrimental to my self esteem, but I believe that every women wants to look her best. However, my dad will never understand such logic and I shudder at the thought of him knowing the amount I have spent on my face.

I did consider the fact that I would be leaving in a few months time, hence I will probably never get to use those 12 sessions (thus I am trying my best and praying very hard I can sell it away). I did hemmed and hawed a mighty long time till they had to send in another consultant to tell me the natural disaster that would occur if I did not sign up for treatment with them. So eventually, I gave in to that little hope that they could cure my face. Perhaps it may sound pathetic to some of you, especially those who are blessed with good skin. But for those who are in a similar predicament as I am, you would understand how it feels to exhaust all your choices, looking for THE solution, often falling into the traps of the commercial world. Maybe someone should tell me its time I should just accept the fact that I do not have good skin, however I am one who will not give up without a fight. And as long as I have the means to do so, I will do my utmost to get my skin cleared.
