Warning: This post contains disturbing images of enlarged blackheads. (It’s really a bit disturbing.) Read on at your own risk!

I’ve tried pore packs, peels, what nots to get rid of my stubborn blackheads… but they just refuse to die! Pore packs are no longer effective, plus, they seem to enlarge my pores such that blackheads come back bigger and blacker than before.

So lately I’ve been on a DIY beauty frenzy, and heheeheheh, I’m damn happy I tell you!

I started on 16 August, 2008, which was about 3 weeks ago. First 2 weeks I just exfoliated my nose with a mixture of raw sugar and olive oil, and the last week I used the metal extractor thing for blackheads, after reading on a forum that it beats all other methods hands down.

The extractor thing:

I’m so excited to show you all before and after photos… but eh, I’m quite reluctant cos the before photos are really ugly. Eh, but then again, they are before photos. Hoho.

This was on 16 August, 2008:

Some adjustments were made (e.g. increase contrast) so that the extent of my blackheads can be seen. Really quite ugly right. I didn’t even know it was so bad until I zoomed in on one of my photos. Eurgh.

About a week later, on 22 August, 2008:

After exfoliating 2 times… haven’t used the metal extractor thingy yet because I haven’t read about how good it was at this point in time.

Less protruding blackheads, but still around same number.

And this is today, 29 August, 2008:

After 2 aspirin masks, 2 exfoliations, 1 face steam and 2 times using the metal extractor thingy. And and and, I’ve tried very hard to set the contrast such that my blackheads show up more obviously, but this was the most obvious I could make it.

Best part of all this? I only spent $5 (box of aspirin pills) + $2 (extractor thing) = SGD 7. $2 of which is for a “long-term asset”, and $5 which will take about 2 months to use up. Omg! *bimbo squeal*

Yes, I meet yet another creepy man. I think I can write a book already. A brief recap of previously documented pervs:-

At Fort Canning

Outside my door

So I took a cab home from school today. Official excuse is because I want to get home soon to rush tutorials, ahem. I somehow ended up surfing net and blogging. Dunno how! Somehow!

Anyway, first thing the driver said to me was,

“小姐，我是这里的老大。(Miss, I’m the “boss” of this territory)”.

…….Ooookay.

So I ignored him, and he went,

“叫我老大，给你10 percent. (Call me “boss”, I give you 10% discount.)”

I know. I meet the most interesting people ever. I couldn’t be bothered, so I gave a weak “haha” and just stared out of the window. Who wants to call him “boss” for a measley $1 in savings or less man! Gimme $1,000 and maybe I’ll consider, hahaha.

Anyway. Then then then! When we stopped at a red light district… he took out this plastic bag and in it were 3 DVDs. He took them out and started to browse through the covers. Guess what.

Porn.

He kept sneaking glances at the rear view mirror while he was browsing, for some reason. Dunno what the fish was going on in his old and smelly head.

No, I didn’t take down his license plate number. My focus was more on dashing out of the cab when I reached my home.

I think this is a sign from above that I should stop wasting money on cabs. -_-” Or a sign that I’m a perv magnet. Or a sign that I should just stay at home and not go for classes. Hee hee. I like the last one the most.

The weather is awesome! I love it! I’ve had it with hot and humid weather. The pitter patter of rain is so comforting.

Maomao sure knows how to enjoy life. I turned around and saw him like this.

For the un-maoquainted, the left thing dangling is his foot, and the right thing is his tail.

Royally screwed. I just joined a project group on Thursday, and there’s this group tutorial thing due today. I thought it was just a tutorial presentation, not a full-fledged report. To make things worse, it’s the only presentation/report for the entire semester. 20 fucking percent!

And the questions are damn bloody difficult lah. If I knew how to do them it wouldn’t be this big a problem.

Fuck. What a way to start the semester. Where got major project so fast one!? Week 3 only, and there’s a REPORT? Wa lao!

Okay no more emo posts. Regardless of how emo the title may be interpreted, this time, I mean it quite literally.

Trying the aspirin mask for the 2nd time. Realise that 4 tablets are more than enough. I’d say this mask is good for brightening. It makes my skin appear clearer and smoother.

Show you all before and after photos after the 4th mask!

P/s: Any girls reading this tried doing an aspirin mask before? Is it supposed to be so grainy and un-pasty? Please leave a comment if you know!
