dithery

Sorry for the lack of updates, haven't got the mood to do so esp since I recently got an allergic reaction on my face after using some clinique products. It was so unexpected since i've used clinique many times before. but i did use something new or maybe the combo of the products was just too much for my sensitive skin to handle. my lil sister uses even more than i do and her skin is just fine.

It's so annoying cuz it's so itchy and applying some moisturizers (even my cetaphil lotion that i've been using daily ) made my skin burn. i took some antihistamine pills, applied cold water/towel to soothe the inflammation, slapped vaseline all over my face and cleaning my face 3-4 times a day.   but my skin will still itch like little needles pricking it, and so i tried to put some Vaporub on it and it immediately stopped the itch. it did sting for a few mins, but then it all went numb. but i'm just applying the vaporub only when the itch is too much for me to resist cuz once when i scratched an area, a red patch started developing like the red bumps coalesce and i thought it was gonna turn into a rash >.< thankfully that went away....whew


While studying for the GREs, I read something that I wanted to share:
"..the harder you have to work to justify a choice, the more likely it's incorrect.."

It was a useful tactic to remember. and then it made me wonder if it can be applied to life....i've been w/o a full-time work for so long, i forget what made me decide that finding a job before going to grad school was the right thing to do...and then it hit me...money. but now that i don't have a full-time job...::sigh::...did i make a mistake? i don't want to regret but i can't help but rue over this decision. i'm not making money, and going to grad school may make me a little more competitive in the job market, but i will be more in debt. and there is no guarantee that i won't be in the same position as i am right now after i graduate from grad school either...

anyways, spring will be coming soon and that means more shopping? i love visiting uniqlo <3
