Nail art or nail surgery?

It's so interesting how simple things can make me extremely happy but the irony is that simple things can also get me so frustrated in life. Does it comes with age? I wonder... Oh well the fact is that I'm just going to talk about nail arts and eventually some kind of nail surgery but then I thought of things like this. So me!!!



However, somehow there is a connection isn't it? Or am I just hallucinating? The deal is that I was fascinated with this nail art thing. Luckily, I'm in the Philippines at the moment and it's so cheap to have it done here. By far, the cheapest I've heard is 60 pesos = 40 NT = 1.30 USD and that comes with cleaning already and not to mention home service. Ain't that a good deal?! So it's my first time to have my nails done painted with different colors and VWAHLAH its already an art! How cute is that?! I had an elmo-wannabe on my fingernails while I had flowers painted on my toenails. I was so delighted how she did that. Everything done within 15-minute time frame.... This can be called a little blessing but I was so happy!






Although my fascination to nail art is nothing compared to the fascination of my aunts and dad to nail care... Oh well that is sarcasm if I didn't stress that so well. They have an addiction to try to get rid of ingrowns (but actually what they are doing is to keep letting ingrowns grow) and to bleed themselves because they say it feels great to do that. Ain't that one of the craziest things you've heard? I'm not even exaggerating that it is an addiction. They do that every single night! My aunt can live without a cellphone but not without a nipper... While I had my nails painted, the girl literally tried to revive their nails. Disgusting as it may sound (and it was really grose as I had the experience of watching how it happens), it was also a delight how an ought to be excruciating thing turned into a happy ambiance. Side-comments from my dad were hilarious, laughter was definitely contagious but the point is that ---> this simple thing definitely made my day!

Inspired to color my life anew

Year 2010... Year of the metal tiger... Start of a new unplanned year again... Start of a new decade... But seems to be the end of my wandering years for now... now I'm set out to color my life anew... I was inspired to write and share my generally boring life with you perhaps so I can add colors to it and make it sound like interesting to begin with. If I can make people believe my life is interesting maybe I can make this imaginary colored boring life turn into real. Through this blog I will share of my life experiences, my happiness and frustrations, of my utterly boring life somehow morphed into a more colorful narration... Welcome!!!
