Geee... XD
SCANNER!!
That's the one Doc Nick is thinking of getting... and at $250 I think I can spring for one myself. Like sweeeeeeeet.... *drool*
Anyway, let's see an update. Well, after the chiropractor I went to browse at this cheap ladies wear store nearby. I think the lady there is starting to know me. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays I end up straying there after my appointment partly because it's the only interesting shop that's open at the time and also because hey... cheap clothes! I like getting my bargains but only when I can. We're talking $3.95 shirts and $7.95 slacks. In fact the most I've ever seen at that store is around $39.95 for the latest cutting-edge clothes.... and those eventually drop their prices too.
So I decided to try on a few jeans. God knows the single pair that I have now are slooooowly wearing down and buying jeans that fit when you're a short, semi-chunky girl is something short of a miracle. The jeans that I have now actually came from Target... and I didn't notice it before but somehow the seam isn't quite right at the legs and it actually curves inwards. It's not noticeable, but I notice it.... hence the shopping for new jeans.
Except that it's so frustrating buying jeans now when they all insist on being these ultra low, hip-hugging, gotta-wax-to-wear-daks, thigh-hugging ones. I mean why doesn't the fashion industry just attach two leggings with a piece of string at the top of the legs and say that they're the new lowest waist jeans yet? Honestly! I like to conceal my little tummy, not let it all hang out and repulse the world with my ample love-handles. :P And mind you I think that there are a lot of girls out there who feel the same way too. Why can't these people just make a pair of jeans that actually fit? And why can't they make a set of t-shirts out of that nice well woven 100% cotton fabric instead of these lycra-cotton blended ones that hug the body TOO much and emphasis each bump, even when you're slim and the only bump is your bra outline? Low waist jeans, high cropped shirts... pfft only if every woman looks like Barbie or Pam Anderson and has the sheer amount of plastic on both.... :P
It really makes me wonder what happens to the women who're slaves to fashion. There're a lot of fashion staples out there that never fade, and you just have to know how to coordinate it all. Heck, my mom always said that it's not what you wear it's how you wear it and I've always believed that to be true. Even if you buy the most expensive clothes on the rack, if you carry them around like a squatter, then you'll look like a squatter no matter what.
So that up there goes up along with my rant of why lipsticks taste so FOUL. In all the technology that people had when makeup was first being made, why did they only start to put flavourings in lipsticks NOW? Didn't they ever think to put the flavours in IN THE FIRST PLACE? Isn't that just common sense? "This stuff is going to go onto my lips. And my boyfriend/partner/husband is going to kiss it too. MMMM!! Love that soapy-perfume flavour along with that cow-uterus after-taste!" (I've heard some lipsticks have used cow-fetus/uterus as ingredients... BLECH) . I just really have to wonder. I'm sure that once cosmetics companies realize that the secret to making lips kissable is actually MAKING them kissable, sales will sky-rocket.
Ok, beauty and fashion rant is over. Now I just have to be concerned over Cyclone Craig near Darwin. Mom's flying back to Darwin on Wednesday and hopefully it won't be too turbulent for her. See cyclone tracking. The cyclone itself hasn't hit Darwin, and it's actually past it a little, so that's ok. We're all used to driving rain, after all monsoon season in the Philippines is quite the sight. It rains for 2 weeks at a time sometimes almost a whole month, typhoon after typhoon going through the archipaelago. Fun!
Anyway, that's all I have to say for now. I really should go and do some work. I feel useless when I'm not doing stuff on the project when I'm at the comp. I feel like I'm not kicking my self enough.
