I'M HOMEE!!!!

I'm home!! I'm home!! Omg~~ can't believe I'm home already!! Can't believe I've done these two weeks... it felt super long, like 6 months long already hahaha... xP

I sooo missed my home!!

But now I'm happy... family, comfy bunk, pillow, bolster, blanket, AC, warm-water... ahiahahahah... >w<

I'd never know how much I love my home until I left it for PH.



Nothing beats home :)

Dead-bored.

Why always get bored huh?? Nothing is interesting. Even eating ain't interesting anymore... -.-"

I must be weird.. yesterday was quite okay, but today is really boring to me.

I wanna go swimming.
I wanna go scuba diving.
I wanna go shopping.
I wanna go on a date.
Or anything that may be interesting. Life's just too boring..

School and clinic and tasks and assignments... urrgghhh...

Why make life become so bad??

It should be live!!!!

I'm not that adventurous.. but I want something to spice up my life. Everyday feels the same..

How can anyone bear to live like that??

Booorrrriiiiinnngggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I need to shift to a new situation.. new place... new relationships.. master new skill.. I need to move... Living in this village for two weeks almost kills me...





In short-term...

I need new clothes, new shoes, new bags, and new makeups.. I need retail therapy!!!

I find a nice quote from Sex & The City, here it is:

Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they just need to run free til they find someone just as wild to run with them

Doesn't the quote say right?!! I am amazed as I think this quotes myself hahaha.. xP

Nah yaaa.. I'm so dead-bored here in puskesmas.. I only need to finish a brief report but I'm too lazy to do that right now... The Puskesmas Head Officer is sitting next to me and busy with her computer also.. she doesn't know what I'm doing now so she doesn't bother me hehehe... :P






update@7.13pm

I can upload pictures now cos I'm using Flash.. :)


I forgot to post pic I took this morning in puskesmas. It was while I was talking with Prita and I secretly snapped myself by using my webcam.. hahahaha... such a camwhore.. xP My complexion looks good on low-res picture hahaha..

One more reason why I hate living in a village or anywhere remote to the town, is that there are soooo many before-seen bugs to me and they're constantly coming into my room!!

Like what I have now in bathroom.. there are four kinds of bugs.. one looks like a water-spider, but it's not.. and one looks like a small butterfly.. the other two, I can't even describe how they shape. And like my previous stupid 'battle' with a dragonfly which was trapped in my bathroom a week ago, this time is a black butterfly in my bedroom!! OMG!!! How gross is that??

People adore a butterfly's beauty, but for me.. yuck!!! Don't dare to come near to me.. It may looks good from afar, but not closely!! But compared to the dragonfly, the butterfly doesn't fly undirectionally.. instead it safely perches on the curtain.



Cute little mushrooms in front of my bedroom. Love this pic, looks as if taken by a dslr camera.. ;P However, I hate camwhoring with my k770 camera as my skin's flaws are shown up in there..

Woww... it reaches part 7 already!! Nyahahaha...

I have done my program today. It didn't go pretty well, but as long as I did it, really nvm.. xP I'm really happy now.. My program has been done already, just need to do a brief report. My only routine now are only blogging and facebook-ing.. qeqeqeq~~

Just arrived from MOG and bought more panties (again) and makeup remover.. My panties are still not enough until Saturday morning and I suddenly realised that I'm running out of my makeup remover, so I decided to go there again hihihih... >w< But I still miss my hometown so bad..

Only three days left though.. ;(

Heyy hoo!!! I'm using Telkomsel Flash now... the connection isn't bad.. XL is more stable imo, but Flash is very cheap.. :D As it is, I can have fun with blogging and browsing.. For these few days, I turn off the 'show picture' feature in my laptop so that I can save more kilobytes as XL charges IDR 10 per kb. Flash only charges IDR 1 per kb, so I can get a bit loose hahahha.. ;D The only downside is that it's not as stable as XL..

Opening Facebook is quite convenient as well.. :) I loovee... that's how I kill time, hahaha.. can't imagine how my life would be without internet. Just like those villagers I met yesterday who spent a day by telling stories to each other. Super boring.. I can't live a life like that.. hahahah… xP

I'm not patient enough to go back home! I miss just everything in the city.. my home, fam, and friends; Tunjungan Plaza, swimming in Atlas, better internet connection, and etc. I don't miss clinic though... hahahaha... but being occupied in clinic is better than in here imo... xP

I have told Mum that I had been to Malang and driven by myself.. and she was speechless! Hahaha... couldn't get mad to me cos there were outsiders there hahaha... xP I'm really sorry hihihihi.. ;P

Room's cleaned, bedsheet's changed, floor's swept.. NICE! I can sleep better now... hahaha..

I also bought Simpati prepaid card cos I wanted to try their Flash service, but it hasn't work up until now.. -.-""

Okay la.. I might not blog a lot today.. I think I better prepare my program and watch DVD ahahaha...


until later.. ciao!


UPDATE:

Bleahhh... I'm dead-bored!! I have activated Telkomsel GPRS service but it takes 48hrs max. till I can use their service... I'm using XL and they cost me IDR 10 for each kilobyte.. T_T

And I wanna go shopping really bad. I have bought lingeries, but I need real shopping man...

I miss Surabaya already.

But our lifes here are very prosperous. In our room there are three beds.. Two beds are for me and Prita, one bed is for our goodies. And most of our goodies are FOODS! Hahahaa.. how can I get hungry here? I even eat before I feel hungry.. I feel so blessed. If compared to other friends who are living in farther area, my life here is very very comfortable :) Better, we didn't buy those foods.. our parents did! Very nice, rite?

I was afraid that my life here would be difficult.. but God has granted my wishes.. *grins*

And I love being with Prita.. She is a very good partner.. I love talking bout makeups and skincares with her.. apparently we have similar interest, hahaha... ;P


You know, I never mean to be arrogant to other groups.

I do enjoy my PH time.. that's because I realize that I am a lot luckier than other people. I stay in a very comfortable place, I drive my own car, I can transport to other city so easily.. Some friends find difficulties cos they don't drive car/ motorcycle.. But what can I do? I can't just offer help to drive them cos I don't know how dangerous the way to their place is... I am responsible of myself and mycar to my parents. However, I really wanna share my happiness with them... It would be nice if everyone were as happy as I am now.. :D Perhaps for last day, okay? Let's spend some good times here...

But of course, they can say what they like la! I don't give it a shit yo!

First week DONE!!!!

Whoaa... it's only ONE week left, okay?!! I'm gonna survive.. So far it's been quite good.. What can I expect more? I'm blessed soooooo much more than I prayed.. :D I can still go to the mall everyday.. It's only 45mins by driving... I so love Malang! It's raining everyday, both in Lawang and Malang.. Rain makes Malang more romantic, hahaha.. xP

There are few places I wanna go or I wanna eat in, a historical ice cream vendor named Toko Oen, new themed-park named BNS, Dempo ice.. I wanted to attend Malang Tempo Doeloe festival but it was very crowded.. so I went to MOG instead to buy lingeries cos I was running out of clean lingeries hahahaha...

Why shopping is Malang is my new favourite activity? First, because clothes and foods are cheaper than in Surabaya. Second, because the sales promotion girls or SPGs are very very friendly and helpful!! They always smile and help us properly, not overly.. even if we didn't end up buying their goods.. :)

My mum will come visit me tomorrow.. she better doesn't know that I drive everyday to Malang cos she has already warned me not to..


So sorry Mum, I inherit your stubborn-ness.. hahahahha.. xP

So I finally made it out to Malang Olympic Garden (MOG)!! Aahahhaha... xP This time, I'm such an expert man.. only depend on feeling and some memories! You know I suck at remembering roads and routes, so this is a big lucky yaayy... xD

MOG is far much much better than Matos! It's bigger and more delicio stores hahaha.. branded stuffs, popular food vendors, and there's even surf-brands sale!! But I'm not interested in the sale, so I went to Centrepoint, the department store similar to Matahari, in first floor. There are some Adidas and Nike shoes batched at only IDR 200K! I am really confused about their authenticity cos it's too cheap for any Adidas or Nike shoes... hahaha.. don't care la. But their clothes are cheap and good, though I didn't buy any.. YET! Hahaha.. On the way back to Lawang, I had my car's battery replaced. The mechanic told me that the battery cells can no longer store electricity so the only option is replacing it with the new one. Cost me abt IDR 355K.. =.="" But the station owners were so nice :D

Today is (another) public holiday, so we're free from Puskesmas and could wake up soo late in the morning... :D I have finished typing proposal.. hey, never thought that it was quite simple and easy.. I'm afraid that I have underestimated it and typed wrong proposal.. =.=""

The weather in my room is freaking humid and hot now. No AC, no window.. the only air circulation way is through the door.. but I can't open the door wide cos I'm afraid some bugs and gross creatures are coming in too. I wanna go to Malang again.. :(

I. Love. Malang.


Today's quite loose... We had picked two research topics but the persons in charge weren't on duty there so we're gonna meet them tomorrow. As is, lunch time came and we checked out from puskesmas and looked for lunch. As we headed south, two of us got a great idea.

Drive to Malang!

Hahaha.. My mum is gonna kill me if she knows this. She's been warning me not to drive there or anywhere else far from our stay.. but it is tooooooo fucking boring to stay in our room and it's creepy too.. Moreover, it's still 01.00pm man.... how are we supposed to survive boring long hours hah??

So my darling sister, don't dare to tell mum yeah! Or I'll kill you instead... hahahah... xP


Malang is great... more lovely than Surabaya in its own way I think.. It's just so different, but it's very good and I love it.. I passed Cor Jesu High School and instantly fell in love with its building. Go check their website yourself cos I can't upload photos now.. It's just beautiful.. creme-coloured wall in dutch style with dark brownie frame... looks really clean and chic.. Eww~ Like if it's not enough.. we passed another Catholic High School.. Frateran Bunda Kudus High School. The building is just as beautiful as Cor Jesu though I still prefer Cor Jesu.. Both are magnificent and I can't stop adore them.. Hahahaha.. xP My former junior and senior highschool, St. Maria and St. Louis Highschool were built in dutch style also but they're not as pretty as Cor Jesu and Frateran... If I lived in Malang, I would definitely go into these schools la... ;D

Okay.. back to our lunch plan. We wanted to go to Malang Town Square and none of us had been there before nor known the route!!! I tried to call my friends but they also didn't know. Confidently, I kept driving and looked for road signs..but that made us drive farther and farther.. So I took some turns and we got LOST! Hahahaa... Prita came with excellent idea.. to call Matos office and asked for their help. Unfortunately, they didn't help and we got lost even further... hahahahah.. So we took another smart decision, ask the folks! And we finally got there.. *giggles*

A bit dissappointment as it's not as big as Surabaya Town Square.. but nice la.. at least can have lunch there. They're much like BG Junction or ITC.. There's also Matahari department store though much smaller.. ;)

We left earlier as I was afraid that it would be too dark to go home. Remember that we didn't know how to drive back to Lawang.. but Prita was really smart for asking the ticket girl about the route. I was so proud of her hahahaha... xP

We then discovered that we did drive tooooo far.. We should have taken right turn in front of Frateran school and driven for about 10 mins along that road to get to Matos! Eww.... nvm la. I love it and really looking forward to get around Malang next time.


Let's see if I have time to do that.

I might get busy typing proposal tomorrow.. but who knows?? I'm expert in sparing some leisure times!! Hahahaha... xD

Haaiiiiiii.... everyooonnnneee!!!

I'm in Lawang now, but I think it's much like if I'm in Surabaya cos I can still connect to the internet and blog this post ahhahahaha... except that the connection is a bit crappy and expensive! But it's better than not at all... xP

I'm trying to act cheerful though I'm not.

It's my second day here.. so far we're only introduced to the whole program and usual boring lectures. The real task begins tomorrow when Prita and me are assigned in puskemas to search health problems and solve them. =.="" Aaahhhh... I know it's really really really boring yo!

And within these huge complex, there are only two of us sleeping in a pavillion here. There are two securitites guard on the gate but they're so far... And it's a bit creepy here.. Ewww~ You know that I'm such a coward to there superstitious things... I hattteeeee... T_T

Time is ticking toooooo sloww!!

There's no TV, no mall, just limited internet connection. Sleeping is the best choice, but we're not sleepy yet!

I really wanna go back to town mannn!!! I miss my bedroom so much. It's really weird as I never reacted so bad to thing like this. When we went for Public Health I, I didn't feel sad or so for leaving home. It's just as usual as travelling to other city. But I felt really sad when I was about to leave home. I might have cried for two or three times the night before.. :,(

I'm with Prita.. and we're feeling so alone here..


I'm missing home...

Arrrrggghhh.... I'm freaking mad about this Public Health III for that I'm leaving town for freaking two weeks doing such an I-even-don't-have-idea program and it's freaking NOT a holiday!!!!!! Only think about it already makes me constipated.. =.= I even haven't finished packing luggage because they are so so soooo many!! I'm about to cry now...

What I'm going to bring are:
-laptop
-printer
-500pcs paper & stationary
-phone + charger + data cable
-clothes and lingerie in a one-week luggage
-skincares (i've got two fat pouches to bring 'em all)
-installer CDs
-blankets
-bedsheet (in case the provided-bedsheet is dirty)
-pillow (reason same as bedsheet plus it's not comfortable)
-toileteries
-sanitary pads
-14 bottles of 1.5L drinking water
-biscuits
-electronic kettle
-tissue & wet tissue
-anti-mosquito
-napthalene balls
-sandals
-socks
-shoes
and money, of course.....


Am I taking it overly???


It's not too far.. only 2 hours driving from Surabaya.. and I will drive the car by myself.
Mum and I visited the place today and it's not difficult to reach by car.. Getting meal isn't big problem as they are plenty. The driving is quite tiring.. It's much better to be on passenger's seat. But I'll still be going home at every weekend... never mind the driving!

I really don't wanna go. You can abuse me in clinic for damn two weeks but please don't send me away from the town TwT


I won't be sad if it were a holiday.......

Review: Paula’s Choice 1% BHA Gel, Primordiale Cell Defense & Skin Renewing Essence, Lancome BEX UV Expert

Guyss.. go away~ this post is girl-related hahaha.. I might lost some guy readers for including posts like this into my blog hahaha.. xP



Okay.. I’ve been wanting to write down this post since few days ago but stilll hesitate cos I wasn’t really sure yet. As I said I got sample from PC for 1% BHA gel, Super Antioxidan Concentrate, Skin Recovery Daily Moisturizing Lotion. And I was keen to try the BHA gel, which was said to be able to manage whiteheads and blackhead, my main concerns.

So I gave it a shot.

The texture was very runny, dried fast.. I didn’t think that it was completely absorbed as I could feel it left a thin film on my skin. I applied the gel after every bath and for two days it was okay. No visible result, but I somehow felt that whiteheads were smaller.. dunno if it’s because of the tightening effect from the gel cos it’s said also to be able to minimize pores. However, there was no result on blackheads yet.. pores on nose still looked as gross as usual. But I continued…

On day three, my Primordiale order also arrived in city and I picked it up at Lancome’s counter in Sogo TP. I was very keen to try it at the same day. That night, after washing my face properly, I applied PC gel first and followed by Primordiale then my usual Lancome BEX Nuit.

In the morning, unfortunately I was too in hurry that I didn’t pay attention on how my skin looked.
After being back from school and finished taking bath, I applied PC gel again on my face. That time, I was shocked in horror.. as I was rubbing the gel, I felt that my skin became bumpy and there were looooottttsssss of newborn whiteheads there! Worse, in less than a minute, my skin reacted very bad with the gel as the whiteheads looked a bit swollen and reddish!! I just quickly ran to the bathroom and washed off the gel… the shitty whiteheads were actually there!! oMG..

I was confused about which product should be to blame on! I was afraid it was Lancome as I had been using PC gel for two days consecutively and there was no breakouts or bumps caused. Still… I wasn’t sure… so I stopped using both till my skin calmed down.

Yesterday, I began to test the Primordiale again cos I knew most Lancome products never failed me before..
I wore it on a quite calm clinic day.. no heavy works and the weather was cool as it’s raining since morning.. that meant minimum sweating.. When I got back home, I didn’t find any eruption or redness or anything. My skin was just alright. But I wasn’t too sure yet.
So I wore it again today, in a quite hectic clinic day. And I wore mask for quite a long time. Still, i didn’t find anything there. In fact, my skin felt smoother and soft.

So I assume that it must be PC gel’s fault. However, this still feels so weird. I used PC gel on a badly-inflammed pimple once and it significantly reduced the size, redness, and swollen of the pimple. Few days later, I used it on another pimples but it didn’t work at all!

PC gel really confuses me.

One thing I’m sure about is that I don’t dare to use it again.. I’m afraid it will give me bumps or redness like before. For another samples, I might give it away if I decide to do a swap.. who knows it works on you?? My skin is quite sensitive and sometimes reacts pretty bad on new skincare =.=


And I have switched my face sunblock to Lancome as well!! Ahahahha.. I’m just a maniac.. but it is far better than Loreal! Whoever says that Loreal products are just dupe of Lancome products is definitely WRONG! I was influenced by this assumption so I bought Loreal sunblock instead of Lancome cos it’s far far cheaper. Texture wise, L’oreal is more greasy than Lancome. Lancome is absorbed faster than Loreal, leaving nothing but subtle glow. After 6 hours, Loreal makes my face look blotchy while Lancome doesn’t. For both brands, I use the non-tinted version.. The price brings the quality for sure.. xP



UPDATE 17.05.09
The SA told me that the bumps are the sign that the BHA works! Seriously?? Does anyone agree? I really don't know about that. Please help me..

counting days to PH

Aargghh... I hate it comes!! I hate to leave the city and live in a remote area.. for bloody TWO weeks!! Not whole two weeks la as I still can go home on the weekend.. But... Uh. I think I'm better assigned in clinic than to be sent to such area. It's not a holiday.. and I'm gonna deal with lot of research and reports and charts and graphics and etc. I haaattteee typing reports.. but I love typing my blog posts hahahha...

I start to list down things I probably need and they are sooo many! I even plan to bring along my pillow in case their pillow isn's soft hahaha.. Fyi, I'm not staying in a hotel but in a villager's house!! How about AC and water heater?? Haaaa... you wish!! But I'm gonna bring hairdryer too as I usually wash my hair before bed. Can't sleep with wet hair k?

I am soooo afraid about internet connectivity. I have just set my phone so I can connect my laptop thru it.. and it works here. Dunno if I were in that area.. hahaha... I think I'm gonna backup with different provider :D I just CAN'T bear poor internet access. The program is gonna be boring.. and I'm away from the city.. so I need internet to make me stay me hahahaaaaa.. xP I've browsed and lucky cos the place i'm placed in is covered with 3G network *pheeww*~~


I just hope everything goes well.. ;D

cold and raining

The weather is just perfect for sleeping till I rot hahahah....

I think I'm not so into blogging in these days.. just lazy.. no motivation.. I need a shopping remedy!! I have expected high in Surabaya Shopping Festival to be as big as last year's but I am very disappointed now.. No big sales, no joy of shopping.. it's just so blahhh.. =.=

Ortho clinic is good.. depsite that my patient broke her appliance into two so I couldn't activate the spring.. She was too scared of telling me and too scared if I got mad so she remained silent for two weeks.. Aiyooo.. Now I'm scared about finishing the activation requirements.

5/10/09

gahh

I think I'm PMSing now.. and really not in the mood. As my period is coming, I've got one.. two.. three.. FOUR medium breakouts!!! Aaarrggghhh...

Adult acne sucks to the core.

I wanna get rid of them.... but the best way is just to leave them alone *sigh*


Oh shitty acnes please find anybody's face to grow on.. TwT

happy~

Conservation clinic went good~ oohh... i love Prof. Enny muach muach.. hahaha..~

I also love my swimming lesson today as I finally show progress in front crawl! Haa... I made it.. though I can only endure 10 m.. hahaha.. super exhausted.. xP

And I got my Primordiale Cell Defense Skin Renewing Essence yesterday.. I'll do review about it later :D

Well.. until later.. hahaha.. so brief yeah!

.... means the Wolverine.




Hahahaha.... I'm so hooked on this wolf-mutant.. no other because it's Mr. Hugh Jackman!!!! Even since the first X Men movie, I couldn't look to another guy but him. Hahaha.. I know he's very special xP



Perhaps, he's the only actor who can play the Wolverine.. Nice-built muscles, sad-but-deep eyes, masculine look.. Nobody beats him. He's the wolverine!! Hahahaha...

I super loooovvveeee Mr. Hugh Jackman..

Paula's Choice

Wheeeee~~ I went home super early today!! I'm skipping clinics again and reach home at 11.30 hahahaaa.... xP wonder how often I skip clinics and classes but still make it out until here?? I guess it's my luck hahahahaa...

I ordered samples from Paula's Choice and the package arrived yesterday.. Of course they're free. Paula's Choice Indonesia (PCI) is giving away three samples and free shipping for each new customer. If you're going to order more, you have to buy them and pay the shipping fee also. Skincare samples are priced at IDR3K and makeup samples are at IDR5K. So cheap la~



I ordered 1% BHA gel and the rest two are the SA's choice since I haven't known many PC products so I asked her to pick them for me.. And she sent me the skin recovery daily moisturizing lotion with spf 15 and super antioxidant concentrate. I'm quite interested with the antioxidant concentrate as it looks similar to Primordiale Serum I ordered two weeks ago (but still hasn't reached me yet.. -_-). But I'm not very keen to try.. well.... cos I've bad experiences with skincare trials.. Hahaha.. makes no sense.. then why still order it?? I'm only interested in their BHA gel as it's able to get rid of whiteheads/ blackheads.. :) I'm trying out the BHA gel now.. It's very runny, non-fragranced, and absorbed very well. No sticky feeling or anything.. it's just disappear like that hahaha.. I wonder whether it really works or not.. ;) May have to wait for few days~

If you'd like to try PC products, you can visit their website here and send the sample order.

brief updates

I got pregnant!!!!















In my foolish dream last night.. hahaha... dunno why i had such a weird dream.. Shit.. i was very surprised but so relieved when i knew it's not true!!!
Along with that pregnancy, I was given a Nikon D60 as a present! Wtf huh? I want this to be real.. just wonder why it's not Canon.. I've been thinking and wanting Canon but why I dreamt about Nikon instead?? =.=""

PH season has begun... sigh.. I'll be away in a remote area for abt 2 weeks so yeah.. I wish I could still connect to internet anyway! I can't live without browsing hohoho...

Anyway, I've found a local seller where I can buy Japanese drug store brands like Majolica Majorca, Visee, Kate, Lavshuca, etc... the prices are competitive and the shipping fee is cheap too.. I've placed an order and it takes abt 2-3weeks to reach home.. Hah.. I hope I can receive it right after PH =)

swimming eases my back pain

Heeyaahh... I've been swimming for 3days consecutively hahahass... It's fucking boring as I only can do breaststroke so far.. My swimming course will begin in two days so I must be patient for that..

I really want to attend PADI OW Course in Bali and they require me to do a non-stop 200m swimming and 10 mins water treading. Both are exhausting for my current level haha.. but I've read some attendants just floated on their back instead of treading so that's an awful lot easier lolz.. XD

But, the real instant benefit is...


It helps reducing my back pain!! Do you know that I have scoliosis??


Above is an Xray photo of a scoliosis patient taken from google.. not mine, but my spine is similar to that.. I had S-curved though the degree isn't that serious.. however, it troubles me with back pain or neck pain, mainly if I get exhausted or lack of sleeping -_-
I've been told that swimming is good since eons ago.. and I've been told that I need to do a particular exercise to help my scoliosis but I was really a nut hahahah... It's until I suffer from those pain recently that I start to exercise. But as I hate sweating, I opt for swimming instead.. :P
I search on internet and find that there are so many people suffer from this abnormalities. Well~~ at least I'm not alone.. and in case you're wondering whether you had scoliosis or not, these signs might help you figure out..
  • one shoulder appears to be higher than the other
  • there are curvatures in spine
  • pelvis appears to be tilted
  • your left/ right ribs are more prominent than other side's ribs.
  • for women, one boob appears larger than the other

Prevention is always better.. It's too late if you figure it now (if you're at my age~).. they say that it's uncureable (but can't get worser as well as your growth process has already slow down or stopped) and the most precise way to get it back straight is thru a surgery that requires you a 6 months bed-rest.. like wtf?? Hahahah... However, you can add little help thru regular exercising like swimming, yoga, or pilates. I've just re-started my swimming exercise and it already helps reducing the pain. I can sleep much better now... :)

I also read that scoliosis can induce great pain during pregnancy (cos we'll be carrying huge weight and our spines support that weight) and women with scoliosis should avoid high heels. Well~~ I don't really like high heels as they are not comfortable for walking.. but they're fucking sexy for party yeah.. hehes.. I don't feel pain on my spine thou I wear high heels for quite long time.. the pain is on my legs -__-"" But this gives me perfect excuse to buy cutie flat shoes I found two days ago on Sogo.. hahahahaha~~~
