Painting my toe nails
@ 12:21 am
Okay, so while waiting for the first coat to dry,
I've decided to blog about how annoying toe nail painting is.
Well, at least to me.
This is purely a 'rant' post, cos I've nothing better to do [& I refuse to study now],
so it doesn't really matter if this post makes any sense at all.
I don't know about the rest of the girls, but seriously my toe nails never fail to piss me off!
I've alr been grooming them well since like before CNY this year.
Regular pedicures every 1 to 2 months, [crazy, I know], just because I want to make them grow well!
I used to have really bad in-growns, and they hurt pretty bad when I wore covered shoes.
I hated my toe nails, much less bothered to paint them.
Like, I didn't even bother to look at them or whatsoever.
Didn't care if they cracked, didn't care if they flaked, didn't care if they rot. [ok I'm kidding abt the last point]
But then one day, I realized they looked VERY UNAPPEALING.
Not like they were supposed to look delicious or something, but it's just, untidy.
You know, like the weeds growing at your front garden.
I became quite conscious about showing them when I wear flip flops.
So yep, I started to care for them, my poor toe nails.
I made it a point to brush them thoroughly every time I bathe. [V disciplined hor!]
But until now, I still refuse to do the 'cuticle thing', cos it's really darn bloody gross and eeuw.
& I'm afraid I'll cut myself.
I trimmed them properly, and in the end my in-growns were gone!
And through the pedicure sessions, I maintained the square shaped nails and they managed to grow out pretty nicely too!
You have no idea how long I took to grow them out man, considering the state of my toe nails in the past.
Yea, and due to VANITY, I started to paint them regularly, hehe.
But it's so annoying when the color chips, cos it means I've to get down to work and paint them again!
MEGA HATE.
Firstly, my back hurts every time I do that,
which I believe, sadly, has got something to do with the increasing age.
And maybe cos I don't drink milk, then lack of calcium, so my bones premature-ageing?
Sounds like nonsense.
Secondly, I have to KISS MY KNEE.
You know, like when I bend over, I slump my body against my thigh, and my mouth lands nicely at my knee area.
Of all nice things to kiss, I've to kiss my freaking knee.
Ok I don't know what I'm saying already.
AIYAH ANYWAY JUST VERY ANNOYING LAH.
