Wheeww
I've been MIA for long from this poor forlorn blog..time flies, so it seems and March is already drawing to an end. Quarter of the year has gone kapoot. Wasn't it like yesterday when we embraced year 2007...? Wheeeww...I've been so busy for the past months there was hardly time to catch my breath even, let alone update this (almost-deserted) blog. My job is getting more and more challenging as the days go by without a doubt, which is good, because that means there is more $$$ to make hehe...not that I'm complaining...at least not too much, I hope..though I do thank that certain someone for trying to sustain my energy by getting me cartons of chicken essence hahaha. Yeah...he's a sweetie pie. They provided the much needed boost surely, though I'm not sure whether they are sufficient to stop my eye bags from reaching the ground anytime soon, if they haven't already.
About a fortnight ago, our company conducted a seminar for raw materials in cosmetics & personal care, and I must say it went quite well, though following up is ehm...quite a tall order.
And after that, we Nardev girls have been away for the past week to Guangzhou China for the Personal Care Ingredients exhibition. Guangzhou was...simply fabulous, the food glorious and the shopping even more so...which explains why now I'm dead broke as a duck and back to counting coins and what not to meet my target savings :p
Some comments though:
Why are humans so vain? Tsk.Tsk. Tsk. The total turn out for the exhibition was close to 5 thousand I heard and there were Europeans, Koreans, Japanese, Thais, Indons, Malaysians, and people from other parts of the world as well, either looking for new trends and products or promoting their own products to this part of the world. There were so many competing products for every single application you can dream about...which beckons the question...
Does it matter if women have a shadow of hair where they shouldn't? We are mammals anyway, so why hide our true nature?
Does it matter if we kept our teeth to its natural shade - which is slightly yellower than it is white?
Does it matter if women develop some laugh lines/ crow's feet on their faces along the way? Shouldn't laugh lines be nice since they show that someone is growing old with grace instead of wanting to look like 20 when she is 50?
Aren't freckles and spots beautiful because they are natural and give the sun-kissed kind of feel on the skin? :p (don't hyperventilate at this point - I've got friends who think whiter is better anytime of the day, though I prefer to be a little bronzed and sporty despite)
Does it matter if age has deposited on us more excess baggage than it should have been? Slimming products are flooding the market right now...Isn't it true that beauty is more than just skin deep?
Anyway, zap what I think. The truth is, people nowadays want whiter teeth, more pert breasts, tighter skin with nonexistent pores, fairer and clearer complexion, a foot-long eyebrows, cellulite-less legs and rumps, tiny waists, shapely thighs, lots of hair at the crown but none at all at other places, healthy, shiny hair...and the list goes on...who doesn't? Pray tell.
Which is sweet really and is as good an arrangement as any for me... because people with the vain mentality are those who would help make people like me achieve their goals and dreams in the end. HAHAHAHHAA... it's a good life. I'm soooo loving it. *wink*wink*
I've posted pics for Guangzhou in my photo album so feel free to browse. Cheers everybody! :p
