Soft hues of sapphire from the orient,
collecting gently, marked the circles now
of skies serene from height to horizon.
And this sight - once I left the morbid air,
which weighed so heavy on my eyes and heart -
began afresh to bring my eyes delight.
Canto 1, Purgatorio
19th April (Sunday) - Hello folks. After 10 days of MC, I'm back, recharged, re-energized and ready to start a brand new day of work in a brand new department for the past three days. I will admit, it's a little scary to be at a new environment, because it's a whole new thing, to start fresh, and the scariest part was... I given up my old department to work at a beauty centre, where beauty is the highest priority. I have no clue how to use cleanser, toner, moisturiser and stuff. This is all Becky Bloomwood's field, I'm afraid, but it's also thanks to Shopaholic that I roughly know what are the products for. Let's just say I'm not exactly a girly sort of person, as in I never really bother with make up because my skin is highly sensitive to chemical products. But that's the least of my worries because all I need to make sure is I do my job well and make some profit aka marketing. Mmm, okay.
The therapy sessions has been helping out as well. I don't find myself feeling claustrophobic much whenever I'm working now, and things don't seem to hit me in the wrong way as before. And the one thing I love about my new job was that I get to read. Oh yes, read. Fashion and cosmetic magazines to keep up to date of the latest cosmetic surgeries and beauty treatments. Seeing as how a magazine had never passed by me before, I had a lot of catching up to do.
The Sister told me to take things slow so I did. And that's how I find myself being at peace. She gave me a small list of things to do and I have to hand in a small report each day. Suddenly, I find myself being able to slowly pick things up along the way, and I had new colleagues who are wonderfully supportive and are willing to put up with my pestering. Treatments are usually the main thing in our department because everyone wants beauty. Who doesn't? Not just for the ladies but for the men as well. Who doesn't want to maintain their youthful appearance?
Many of the patients, as I was informed, are regular patients who comes for treatments. Of course. To maintain beauty means you have to be willing to spend high costs for treatments and the products. As the doctor put it bluntly to me, "Anything that is cheap is absolute rubbish." Well, she has a point. For the sake of saving twenty to thirty dollars, people are willing to buy cheap cosmetics products, and ended up paying more because of the damage done to their face. I guess that's what she meant, because sometimes things that comes in cheap doesn't necessarily means it's good. Who knows what chemical they have mixed in.
I would love to update more but so far things had been slow because of the GST implementation. But hopefully once things are fully settled I'll be able to post more. Until next time.
