Lips & Love

My damn lips are swollen again. I woke up to find that my lips have grown fat, red and some icky discharge oozing from it (not pus though, ew!) Sometimes I wish I could just rip my lips off. Here’s my daily night routine dedication solely to my lips:

Step 1. Brush teeth

Step 2. Brush teeth with a different toothbrush (Due to braces)

Step 3. Gurgle Listerine.

Step 4. Rub ulcer cream on my ulcers, which usually just numbs my mouth and as a result, I drool on my pillow

Step 5. Peel off some wax from the wax stick and stick some onto some areas of my braces. The wax is meant to minimise the friction which is caused when the braces rub against my lips, thus forming the ulcers indicated in Step 3.

Step 6. Rub Vaseline lip balm (Tyra Banks would be WILD!). Why so high class like Vaseline? That’s because I’ve already tried Lip Ice, Neutrogena lip balm, Medicated lip balm and another Neutrogena lip balm. All 4 do not work, except Tyra’s Vaseline.

Step 7. Rub steroid cream on the margins of my lips. This brings down the swelling, or so it should.

This is the amount of shit I do every night to stop my lips from swelling, and yet they betrayed my efforts and swelled anyway. Now you know why I feel like ripping my lips off. People should just be born without lips, they’re a burden to life.

Anyway, swollen lips aside.

I’m starting to feel the burn of sec4 life. O levels! Man! I won’t go on about how important it is because you guys already know, and I have to practice Chinese in about 10 minutes.

Mr Eio gave us a pep talk on how everything is a choice. You can choose to grow fat, you can choose to remain unhappy, you can choose to cut yourself and bang your head against the wall which will result in nothing but pain and possible future head spasms [He actually said all that with demonstrations, haha]

He told us of a friend of his whose husband dumped her for another woman. After learning from almighty Mr Eio that happiness was a choice she could make, she recovered and picked up her act. She got promoted to a higher status than her husband and now her boss is wooing her. Eat that shit, unfaithful ex-husband.

Nothing like an inspirational story to drive us to success. Mr Eio’s a fantastic teacher.

After Mr Eio’s talks, I’ve decided to set my priorities straight. My number 1 priority is:

I Will Not Fall in Love This Year. If the dude doesn’t want to wait until after O levels, then he can suck it.

I thought about my past relationships, and they all ended in behind-the-back-bitching, tears, whining, excessive chocolates and a new haircut. And I’m planning to grow out my hair, so no relationships.

I will deprive myself of love this year. No love, no love, no love [chants]
