makeup or no makeup

try not to be a man of success but a man of values.

seriously?

thank god i still agree with the me from 4 years ago. there’s not much we agree with now.

someday, i need to upload all my pictures. starting with our trip to batam from the start of my holidays. its almost the end, and i have a whole holiday’s worth of pictures to upload. kinda. luckily for me, most of the pictures i’ve taken these past months aren’t in my cam but with others and since they havent uploaded, i’m under no pressure. it took me years to figure that out. take the photos = photos in your camera = have to upload = finding trouble for yourself = stupid. in fact, surprise surprise, the only one (out of all my friends) who has uploaded anything is jolene. well, look what we have here, christmas came early.

but. but but but but but.

okay, see ah. this is the problem when im not in control of uploading photos. when jolene uploads photos like this,

its fine, cause, well, we already knew it would be up. and not under our favourite albums set to private. (btw, either my makeup skills have shot up the roof, or jolene’s camera is lousy, or my complexion has tremendously improved. because from what i remember, my bareminerals never covered that well. kailing’s, yes. mine, no. look at my face. i look flawless leh. without iPhoto, without anything. can someone say omg?)

BUT, photos like these, WITHOUT MAKEUP, were supposed to go into the “private” albums. that, or go through mine or kailing’s iPhotos first.

LOOK. no really. just look. now you scroll up and compare. no forget it. dont. wah really. what happened to jolene’s favourite pastime of privatizing and locking everything!

uploading photos 101 lesson 2: this is fine. this is far away. and therefore nothing can be seen. but whoa. we look flawless here. oh my. or is it just me. okay, or, it could be jolene’s awesome lousy camera. still, this was supposed to be filed under private. but its okay, cause its not close up like this (the one above).

this one ah. really. I LOOK LIKE SHIT. i look like hell opened up, swallowed me, tossed me around a few times, and spit me out. i should have at least put on my eyeliner and mascara, since i cant save my skin. i could test how waterproof my waterproof makeup claims to be. and then i could probably sue them if they run. okay next water sports trip im putting my waterproof makeup to test. who’s with me?

and this… this looks awesome. huh. okay, i remembered we made quite a fuss about this day cause we went without makeup the entire day (i know, shocker right), so we kicked up quite a fuss about either sending the photos to me/kl for iPhoto-ing purposes, or definitely setting it to private. plus we were in bikini’s and all so we didnt want our photos up on facebook and be rendered sluts. but ah, WE LOOK LIKE WE HAVE MAKEUP HERE RIGHT?! HOMYGOD JOLENE’S CAMERA IS FUCKING AWESOME I’M NEVER USING MINE AGAIN. i’ll save so, much, time. one, i dont need upload. two, i dont need sift through photos to iPhoto. hahahahaha my birthday came early.

eh hello fiona i didnt notice this before  but WHY ARENT YOU WEARING YOUR SUNGLASS?! the one we spent almost the entire first day helping you choose? wah lau after all that torture you not wearing.

yes people, this again. i cannot get over it. but now the more i stare the more i realise our complexion doesnt look that bad. its bad, but its better than i thought. when i first saw that jolene just uploaded the whole damn album onto facebook through my phone i freaked. like grab-my-sister-go-into-panic-mode-hyperventilate-hysteria freaked. turns out its not that bad uh. maybe, maybe after hitting 20 our fucked up hormones has finally stopped raging and therefore now our face is clearing up. okay know what? we’ll know when i upload my batam photos whether its jolene’s camera or us. and this thought has to strike me now, after one whole post of lamenting about this.

still. after this whole post, i’ve realised, it doesnt matter if my face clears up or not. i’m still gonna go full fledged make up everywhere anyway. oh, the joy of walking around town bare faced. right. not like anyone only does their eyes and not their face. i could save on the amount of foundation i apply though.
