It's Chakri Day, a public holiday today so my mom and I were planning on doing something together...
Mom: let's go to Silom, I heard the Red Shirts aren't going there after all.
Me: I just heard on the news that they arrived at Silom just now...
Mom: okay, let's go to Rama IV instead. We can go eat at that Chinese restaurant then go to Carrefour for grocery.
Me: Rama IV is one of the banned places too, meaning the Red Shirts will prolly go there too.
Mom: well then, can we go to Conrad on Wittayu Road instead. I have vouchers for afternoon tea
Me: mom... there's police all over Lumpini Park and Wittayu is waayyy too close to Suan Lum.
Me: oooh, a bomb was found in Chula earlier, luckily it didn't detonate.
Mom: oh gosh let's just stay home after all.

Mr. Francois Nars, your packaging sucks
NARS has just won the worst packaging (for makeup items) EVER in my book.
Yes, I know, some people prefer its sleek, cool, black rubber packaging, and I myself used to be one of its many supporters.
Okay, I might still love it,
if I lived in Iceland or somewhere really dry, really cold.
In Thailand's humid and extremely hot weather,
look what NARS' infamous packaging did to my hands:
The black stains are in fact, molten rubber.
Greasy, sticky. Gross.
My mom's NARS palette is covered in this gunk. Then it got onto her dressing room table, her hands, my hands (when I borrowed the palette to try to solve the gunky-hand problem), my thighs and shorts.
I had to scotch-tape the entire palette to salvage what's inside.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE NARS products. But can't they just do something about the crap packaging?

Random
Just when I thought I didn't have any readers, the non-existent entity up there proved just how naive I was by giving me all these oh-so-happy comments. Life is funny like that.
Did I offend anyone in the last post? I hope not.
Better yet, I hope I didn't offend anyone who I actually cared about.
Please, do NOT click on any of the ads in the comments. I didn't endorse them, nor do I condone them. I simply left them there because I believe in the freedom of speech :p
--------------------------------------
One of my best friends in the whole world, B, is going back to Taiwan for his military service-substitute job. B, like myself, hasn't actually lived in Taiwan since childhood, and I know that even though he loves and misses Taiwan (and the food there), he's anxious and possibly a tiny bit scared.
Here's a shout out for B:
Sis, I want me some 小吃, be good and wait for me, I shall join you there in May. In the meantime, don't screw around with J, he's still mine :p
