I’ll make this short and sweet because I need to start counting sheep. Used Malin + Goetz followed by Cosmetic Warrior mask (last day, yay!). Discovered that if I do not dry face after steam bath, the moisture makes applying the mask much more pleasurable and effective. I applied to damp skin in circular motions and this created a much more even mask. Skin feeling tight, spots reduced to two faint marks and no new ones. I smell victory. Boyfriend sat this round out.

Spot count: me, 2 (barely); boyfriend, 3

i am already breaking one of my cardinal rules – get enough sleep – by trying to figure out how to make this thing tick. for lack of something better at the moment, i will just say a big hello to the four people i know are reading this. thanks guys. xx

I always find it funny when I see people asleep on the train.

I’ve never seen a single person having a great time sleeping on a train, I mean, they’re always trying to steady their head from flopping to one side so as not to momentarily wake themselves up.  It never seems to work out though, because if they’re sitting upright – you know they’re not truly asleep.  But, as soon as they begin to drift off – as if by clockwork their head starts to slide down to one side.  And sometimes if they’re really deep, they won’t even realise until the side of their face hits their own shoulder.  Then they spring back up!  It’s genius.

I really do find it enjoying to watch, especially some of the faces they pull.  Keep up the good work guys!

How come our new term’s class schedule is not even out yet?! Why so late ah this time!?

Farah is craving for ice-cream in the middle of the night -.-
And have I ever mentioned I’m like the bestest friend ever?

HAHAHAHA. Goodnight beautiful people!

People fit for work will be able to claim only the unemployment benefit of £64 a week – rather than £89 in incapacity benefit. They will be ordered to look for a job.

It is estimated that the move would save the Treasury £1 billion over five years.

A “Get Britain Working” theme will form the centrepiece of the Conservatives’ annual conference which begins today in Manchester.

Mr Cameron will also pledge to scrap some of Labour’s flagship welfare programmes.

However, the launch of the benefits scheme was last night in danger of being overshadowed by the debate over how to deal with the Irish ratification of the Lisbon Treaty.

The vote has added to the pressure on Mr Cameron to commit his party to hold a poll on the treaty if the Tories come to power. The party leadership had been clinging to the hope that after the Irish approved the deal, the Czech Republic would stall the ratification process until the Conservatives came to power, allowing a vote in Britain.

However, last night those hopes appeared to be dashed when Vaclav Klaus, the Czech president, said it was “too late” for Britain to try to halt the treaty.

“I am afraid that the British people should have been doing something really much earlier,” he said. “There will never be another referendum [on the treaty] in Europe.”

The indication that the Czechs will ratify the treaty within weeks will force the Conservatives to explain their current policy of not letting “matters rest”, even after ratification.

Increasingly, it appears that Mr Cameron, urged on by William Hague, his deputy and shadow foreign secretary, will consider holding a referendum on specific parts of the treaty which he believes he can still renegotiate.

The Tory leader is conscious that any vote on Lisbon after ratification would be seen in terms of Britain’s continued membership of the European Union – something he is keen to avoid.

Yesterday, Mr Cameron likened his strategy to that of Margaret Thatcher’s demand that the EU return some of Britain’s financial contribution in 1984.

He told the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show: “I don’t believe in going into any situation or any negotiation thinking that you’re going to fail. I mean Margaret Thatcher was told frequently: ‘You’ll never get any money back from Europe. That’s not the way it works. You just have to give in and take what you’re given.’ I don’t accept that.”

In 1984 Mrs Thatcher won a rebate at Fontainebleau from the EU. She was angry at the amount that was spent on subsidies to Continental farmers and believed that Britain was paying too much for its membership of the EU.

Mr Cameron yesterday set out areas he would seek to renegotiate.

“We think that the social and employment legislation, we think that’s an area that ought to be determined nationally rather than at the European level,” he said. “There are many things in the Lisbon Treaty – giving more power over home affairs and justice – that we don’t think is right.”

Today, the Conservatives will try to move the focus of the conference back on to domestic policy with a new series of measures to tackle Britain’s work-shy culture.

These will include proposals for reforming the welfare system, increasing the number of education places and boosting enterprise.

The Conservatives will target the 2.6 million people claiming incapacity benefit – most of whom are believed to be healthy enough to work.

Private firms will be brought in to assess each incapacity benefit claimant.

There will also be new help for young unemployed Britons with the state intervening after they have been claiming the dole for six months, rather than 10 months at present. Tens of thousands of new apprenticeships and other training schemes will be offered.

George Osborne, the shadow Chancellor, will this week set out detailed plans on reducing public spending.

“We face a twin crisis in this country,” Mr Cameron said. “We have a debt crisis but we also have a very serious jobs crisis.

“We are making it the centre piece of our conference, a really massive get Britain working programme.”

Labour last night accused the Conservatives of “rehashing” their plans without providing the necessary support for job seekers.

I’m typing this miles up in the sky…on my connector flight from Charlotte (spent 3 days in Cleveland) back to Dallas. My birthday is in a few hours. I’m gonna press my words now, and then forget about them for tomorrow. A beautiful woman is growing more beautiful, wise and mature by the day, and tomorrow we’re gonna celebrate that.
But, simply put, I deserve soooooo much more…and this whole lop-sided deal where I ACT like I don’t know my worth ends now. I’m tired of acting like Rose in the Joy Luck Club…putting someone else’s love on a pedestal, like it’s worth more than mine…when nothing could be further from the truth. My love is patient and understanding. I’m fully aware that where I’m at right now is completely my own fault. I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt, and even more than that, I got comfortable. I put on my “Noh” smile, hid feelings, and took what I was given without questioning it. But that’s done. I’m going home and getting my house in order. I’m dolling myself up for ME, going out on dates, cooking and getting appreciated. I wanna go out, I wanna stay in…I wanna not feel tied down to nothingness. Trust me, this isn’t an entry to bash him…he’s a brilliant person…one of my favorite in the whole world. But I can’t make excuses for my actions anymore…

So now…selecting sweaters for fall and winter. If I’m lucky I’ll just find one perfect coat that goes with everything. been window-shoppin my ass off lately!!!
*waves @ Kenny and Law* Thanks for the ears and lectures. I’m good!

Happy Birthday to who? Meeeeee!!!

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…

Life’s been good. So much positivity so far, and the only time these tears were shed was on 20th Sept, solely because the image of Umi came to mind during the asking or forgiveness session. (:

Anw I’m now at Jurong Point’s Starbucks waiting for Mark to end work. Zzzzzz. Hahaha I hate it when I don’t have any access to the internet, it is very boringgggggg at home. But thanks to my trusty Sims, my english novels, Solitaire (I KNOW RIGHT HAHA) and of cos text messages from the very annoying Mark and the best friend Aza, life isn’t THAT boringgggg. Hah! I seriously need a job man. Anyone? Lubangs? ;D

I want to update properlyyyyyyyyyy Haiyaaaaaaa, motherfuckaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Till the next update then. Soon? Maybe? Not. Bye.

Fy fan vad trött jag är. Har varit helt däckad hela morgonen, skojar inte. Nu är klockan halv 12 men i mitt huvud känns det som 5.

Vi hade tänkt gå på hundcafé idag, finns ett på bergnäset, men bussarna går så dåligt så vi skjuter upp det. Istället blir det nog en långpromenad bort till Ica Kvantum och handla lite. Ska läsa min bok idag också, och såklart inviga halsduken! Ska banne mig fixa en vettig Dagens Outfit idag!

Det var väl de planerna. Vad finns det att göra en söndag? Vad brukar alla göra?

Mongobild från igår, Rifa var besatt av att slicka mig i ansiktet, haha.

Ahhhhh……life is good.
