You really never know what's gonna happen.
One minute you can be alive, the next you can be dead.
Life is truly indeed like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get.
But for most people, their lives are like a box of cheap Asda chocolates. Never gonna know what you'll get and probably nothing great if anything good ever comes out of it.
Good people don't deserve this.

After thinking for a while, this thing comes back to me again.
Never take things for granted. Because they aren't.

12.45am on a Sunday morning...
At the moment when I'm typing this, I practically just got back from work.
Yes, people. I was at work wee hours in the morning on a weekend. Stuff...can't really explain, but then since I got chaperoned, didn't have to walk, and am getting paid...I'm not complaining.
READ: I LOVE BEING A WORKAHOLIC!
********************
On a totally unrelated subject, I was out in town today for a movie.
AHA! Finally watched Sex and the City now. Didn't let me down; High fashion, huge drama, and loads of scenes that make you go "Awww..." (both platonic and non). Of course, there're parts where you would just want to see it happening your way, but hey, life's never like that, now, does it?
But I think the most realistic part now is that they're telling the story of 40-year-old women, and at the same time they're actually showing that it is. Yes, they're all still svelte and all (it's still LA & NY, that's why), but you can see (most obviously) from their faces that it has definitely been a fair few years since we last saw them.
Then it struck me. Again. On the reflection I saw in the mirror that morning itself.
Some teeny, tiny lines that are on the verge of making their debut. (I'm not going to say where coz I'm still in denial.)
Running low on my skincare supplies, I made some purchases in vain hopes that I could save my skin from deteriorating further, and pretend that I'm going to be 21 forever, and it's easier for collagen to stay on and fats off.
Got some freebies and samples. But then again, why aren't the samples nowadays coming in nice decent bottles? Instead they come in foil-wrapped packages and could only be dispensed once.
Oohh, and I saw this ad on the Metro the other day, and Glamour was giving away Benefit lipgloss with every mag, so I "chiong" and bought myself a copy that day itself. And because I liked it so much, I probably did the most outrageous thing I've ever done this year so far.
I bought another 2 copies of the same magazine that came with 2 other different colours of the lipgloss. (It's worth it since I saw they usually cost about 13 pounds at the counter. The magazine costed only 2 quid.)
Because I bloody well deserve it.

June
I can't freaking believe that it's June already?!?!??!
What the hell happened to January, February, March, April and May?
(I do know what happened but it just didn't seem that long ago.)
Anyway, in case anyone's wondering, I've been busy for the past 2 weeks.
Work, Bank Holiday weekend in Newcastle, then work again. Plus...my housemate kind of over-downloaded and busted our capping for the month so had to wait until the next month to get our internet subscription resumed. (Either that or the landlord had just blatantly forgotten to pay the bill.)
But all in all, I need to catch up on my sleep for the past week. The weekend in Newcastle and the party last night is draining me of my energy.
Age is catching up with me. Being 24 sucks.

What a drag...
I have this love-hate relationship with the weekends.
Love it when it's near. Hate it when it's dragging at the end. Can't wait to get back in at work on Monday. But when Monday morning comes, I would have been wishing that it's Saturday all over again.
Another thing about weekends is that I pig-out endlessly when I have nothing to do at home. Not on real food but all sorts of rubbish. It's so out of control to the point of being scary. That's why I keep doing my laundry, hoovering, sorting my wardrobe, arranging and rearranging my stuff on the shelf...but I'll always end up, somehow or another, shopping for groceries.
Anyway...can't wait for next weekend to come! Yeap yeap, going up to Newcastle! Come to think of it, I've left Newcastle for exactly 6 months already. Just like that. Swished past before I realised it. And it's May. (God, it can't be! Already??!?)
Right...back to something positive! Newcastle...
Gonna go up for the weekend and celebrate with the dudes on their last paper. Just like last year. Er...but I think I was back home snoozing away 2 hours after my paper ended instead of painting the town red. Yeah, I was. Coz I was too tired and drained by then. (Eww, that was so boring!)
Update:
My rashes have almost finally healed! After, like, a whole week?!? It's not completely healed though, but I consider it almost since it's no longer sore and itching, but the ugly patches are still there no doubt making it an eyesore. I was so traumatized coz it got so SO bad on Monday morning that I'd bought antihistamines, calamine and hydrocortisone cream during lunch break instead of lunch. But it's like a layer of dried and not-quite-dead-yet skin that's probably waiting to peel off sooner or later or get shed off when the cells renew themselves. Wonder how I actually got that in the first place?

a sunrash...
OMG!!!
I think it's a sunrash because it's the first time when I've actually sat in the sun after the past few months and this week was the only week that had loads of sun and warm enough for us to sit outside.
It's also the first time I'm dressed light for the weather in months. And this is what I get...
It must be that...
SEE!!!!
(my poor hand...)
WHY??!??!!
What the hell is happening? I practically grew up UNDER the sun all my life...and now I'm what, allergic to it already??!?!?!
I might just burst up into flames one day when the temperature creeps up high enough later in the summer.
Talking about summer, this year's summer is much better than last year's. We do get the occasional rain here and there, but at least this week has been warm and lovely. We even had a new park bench erected outside the pantry and we're all having our breaks out there! (And that was also how I got the rashes.)
I might be allergic to the sun but my melanin production is still as good as I remembered it. (Good news!) I was just exposed to the sun for an hour or so...and I'm getting tan lines already...HAHAHA!
Yes...tan lines of my watch and from the sleeves of my shirt, that is. -_-" But hey...at least I won't be getting sunburn that easily yet.
