Charities?
Charities, AFAIK, run on shoe-string budgets even during good times, so what happens now?
So I found this Shills thing on Qoo10 that's supposed to make the skin exfoliate when massaged with it. This will lighten any unsightly dark patches on any part of the body, eg ankles, back of knees, armpits and etc. It appeared quite popular there with several sellers trying to promote the exact same product, so I got one to try it out.
Tried it today and was kinda shocked by its effectiveness.
Initially I expected nothing. I mean, the only effective exfoliation product I know of is the Amethystory facial cleanser and other products that claim to have the same effect that I've tried do not work as well.
On my first attempt, since I expected it not to work well, I scrubbed hard, and the result was stunning to the point where I was worried I was going to see blood if I rubbed any harder.
Anyhow, I wonder what causes that effect in the foam. As far as I can tell, it doesn't seem to be friction because otherwise I'd get abrasions on my palms, so it's likely to be some kind of chemical reaction.
I can't avoid coffee - it is just so effective! Just sitting on my ass drinking half a cup of it after not taking it for some time perks me up within 15mins. Without coffee, the alternative to achieve the same effect would be some exercise, but seriously, who the heck likes to do exercise immediately after they get out of bed?
Moreover, I've stopped my exercises after the sinus treatment when my doctor told me not to breathe hard or get water into my nose for several days, and I completely lost my momentum ever since.
Now I can't start, hence coffee.
Yet I really dislike the inevitable cold turkey phase that comes after a week or two, which occurs as I never allow myself to have a daily coffee for longer than that because it eventually stops giving me the buzz.
I wish there's some way I can handle the cold turkey better instead of sleeping in the day and risk ruining my somewhat fragile sleep cycle.
Anyways, I also don't see how coffee makes people lazy like what that study I mentioned before said. From personal experience, coffee makes me more motivated to work due to the temporary buzz it gives me. For most people, it jumpstarts their engines; for me, it's about starting my engine at all.
Holy shit! Carrefour is having an final clearance sale from the 27th till the 30th before it closes! Common sense says there's going to be even bigger discounts.
I must go!
Hopefully they will still have a few bottles of Jack Daniel's left by then.
So I already have a life insurance policy at NTUC Income and I didn't even know it.
Yeah, I'm to be blamed for this because I was never interested in what insurance my parents got for me. Back then, I didn't give a damn about any money matter.
So I got the SAFRA Living Care policy before I realized my life policy there basically covers almost the exact same things.
The differences, after some queries and reading, are as follows:
1) Living Care is a term policy that stops coverage at a certain age; life policy stays as long as I'm alive.
2) The term policy is much cheaper than the life policy, almost by half for my age.
3) If I cancel the life policy, I can get my money back. I don't get a single cent if I cancel the term policy.
4) The term policy covers hospitalization that the life policy doesn't.
I also confirmed with NTUC Income that if I ever get hit by something covered by both policies, I will be able to claim for both, except for the permanent disability compensation which is capped at a certain amount.
Which is fine with me because I'm only worried about cancer.
Still, if I had known I already have that life policy there, I'd have chosen another brand. Since it's already done and the rate is still perfectly affordable, I'm letting it be.
Also changed all my premium payment modes to annual payment because they all offer lower rates for that and I have absolutely no intention of cancelling any of my policies in the foreseeable future.
So the Queen's Blade MMO website had been launched in Korea, and Aeria Games has been confirmed to be the US publisher of the game.
The best part?
It actually has porn.
Seriously, there's an "Adult Zone" in the Korean website where images of the characters in the nude exist. No hardcore action, just softcore porn.
And they are all available on Google without having to register at the website to enter the Adult Zone.
A mainstream MMO with actual nudity included. Welp, they have finally crossed the line and I'm sure everyone saw it coming.
There is, however, the big possibility that the porn won't exist in the US version because of their censorship laws. It's funny how it's ok for their kids to see how adults take drugs, blow up body parts but NO FEMALE NIPPLES ALLOWED!
I'm not sure what kind of horrendous effect the sight of female nipples have on non-adults but for some reason, I have this impression that seeing up close the effects of a shotgun fired at point blank on a human head has to be worse than it. Then again, I live in Singapore, so I can't really criticize their censorship laws.
In conclusion, now is a good time to learn Korean.
Found a secret area accidentally when I spotted some oddly shaped rocks in the Caustic Caverns. While most rocks were irregularly formed, those were clearly carved cuboids.
So I jumped onto them and noticed a strange brown wall nearby. More intriguing was the fact that according to the map... I was not even in the map anymore.
And this was what I found when I got closer:
Looks very familiar, doesn't it?
Yep, a secret Minecraft area in the Caustic Caverns. Borderlands 2 is filled with things like this, and I like it.
