ah! i just managed to get rid of this gigantic blackhead that was hovering about on my face and annoying me the past few days. blackheads are like my bane, i tell you - i rarely get pimples but blackheads?! just the other day my mum was talking to me and she went, "Grace,you had better do something about your blackheads" which prompted my sister to tell a ahem, racist joke but that's besides the point.
so i've been religiously scrubbing my skin and putting on this Biore pore-pack for the nose but you can only do it once every three days anyway, and so up till now i don't see or feel much difference!
❤but enough of bimbotic ramblings, i have to say that being able to drive the car by myself with no one else beside you giving instructions or screaming every other time you're at a junction (read: parents), is empowering to say the least (: although i only drove out a short distance to buy dinner back for the family, it was great because i amazingly managed to park the car quite nicely at just one attempt, and then of course i could tune the radio to Class 95 and sing along. more, please (:
so the boyfriend is out at his good friend's place right now having a boys' night out guzzling beer and doing what boys do, hence explaining the time i have right now to actually blog (and waiting to see if he'll drunk-dial me haha!), but i'm feeling lazy to upload pictures although that was initially what i intended to.
❤by the way, i have to say that Wanted is an absolutely brilliant show. i watched it a few days back so the whole enthusiasm i felt for the movie has kind of died off already but it's great nevertheless, what with Angelina Jolie's sexy struts and too-cool tattooes, and the plot is exceptional too - a pole apart from Hancock, if you ask me. haha, okay maybe i'm just biased.
❤i've been thinking about it and it's scary 'cos girlfriends my age have actually graduated from university (if they're doing a three-year course) and stepping into the very scary working world. if i hadn't repeated my first year in JC, i could very well be in their shoes right now, with maybe one year more of studies to go. but i still have two more years, and i'm really thankful for that because i think ultimately studying still beats working, although i know that working will give me financial independence! but as of now, even just the thought of next year's six months of internship is kind of freaking me out.
and coincidentally (or maybe not?) i have been reminiscing about last year's short but memorable intern stint at IE and of everything that i've learnt, mistakes that i've made, friends whom i have made (and have kept till today! we even had a small interns gathering a few days ago, pictures up in abit), and of the sneak preview into working life of a marketing communications department. i would love to go back there, but whether they'll take me back after everything is another issue altogether. but nonetheless, it's an experience i thank God for because of the learning points i can take away with me for life (:
❤actually i'm thinking it doesn't really matter which company i get into for my intership next year, it doesn't have to be top-notch or a leading company, and i don't even have to get that great an intern's pay, as long as i do and give my best, smile and say my pleases and thank-yous, and even grin and bear it through the shit-work (which is inevitable, to say the least), and learn from my mistakes, it would be fine. and boyfriend, wishing you all the best for your attachment now too okay! one week down, 21 more to go ((:
