no pain, no gain

I went thru my 1st facial yesterday.

First time of such experience and Of course, i was quite nervous about it. I did not do extra reading prior to the session and hence, making me looking like a total noob being there. What was even better was that i had a HUGE zit on my face. i don't have to tell you where it was coz im sure u could even identify it standing 2 metres away. yea, it was THAT obvious.

So, it was a 75minute session. starting off with a cleanser and next to the scrubing and masking. Then the lady put another layer masking cream and while waiting for it to dry, i had an upper body massage. at that point, i thought life was wonderful.

Then next came the unexpecting moment. The EXTRACTION process. I noe i had fear of dental extraction but this one was something that i wish to be nothing but another pampering. But i was dead wrong. she removed almost every single blackheads and whiteheads available and i was shrieking in pain while she did it. it felt like i had ant bites everywhere!

then she applied some solution onto my whole face and i felt like the whole skin was burning. i felt like screaming but in the end i hushed it down and just blamed it all on the blackheads.

the lady informed me that i need to at least to attend a facial session once a month. Upon hearing that, the first thing that popped in my head was $$$. haish... there goes my spending list again.

then, the next question is, where shall i do that? and oh, surely, u dont have to remind me about the pain!

seems like it is not easy to be an XX. Sometimes i think my dad is lucky to have my mom. she's not that kind to spend money to beautify her every inch of skin. Perhaps, she has a beautiful soul; that is something to my dad's eyes.

nevertheless, i have to admit, i enjoy the pamperings. Once i get my own earnings, i do not think i mind spending a couple of bucks as a reward to a chaotic career every month. afterall, im just a woman who wants to be as beautiful as everybody else.

PS : My thanks to my other half's mother for kindly giving me such opportunity =)
