On and Off

18th June (Thursday) - I'm not up to date with my blog lately, and with good reason. In between my appointments with the psychologist, the craziness of the customers who regularly comes in for aesthetic and laser treatments, I'm now planning on focusing my writing. I've been on hiatus for a month now and I think it's about time I get back to writing.
Business has been really slow due to poor economy and such, so in between my free time, I've been doing on and off research while scribbling my ideas on scraps of papers. This is pretty much the disadvantage when you're working. Back in my school days, I used to write down my stories in old exercise books and staple them together. How easy it was back then.
Blitz's first part of the story has been done, but now my cover artist is really busy with his company project, but as mentioned before I had already submitted most of the designs and all he had to do now is digitalize it. I know many of you had been waiting for it, so am I, but I can't rush him, so in short, I apologize for the delay. But once he submit the covers, I'll be able to put it up on lulu.com pronto.
On the bright side, I'm now halfway done on Lloyd's story, and best of all, the covers are all ready and they look awesome, and I really can't wait to share it with you guys. But it also depends on how fast I can write after working hours.
I'll still be active on blogspot, and post up whenever I can, but for now, I'm going to be focusing on finishing the sequel to Supernatural Demon Slayers. You can support me by buying my book by clicking on the link right at the side of my post. The list will be updated from time to time if I can get my works published, so check back once in a while.

My original works in exercise books. Look how worn out they are. 

 

Solo Show

11th June (Thursday) - After a month or two at the aesthetic side, my colleagues finally allowed me to spread my wings. As in, I can now go independently with minimal supervision. I used to moan about not being able to see IPL Hair Removal and tattoo removal. Guess what, be careful what you wish for. Cause now all the cases are coming in. Ranging from people removing tattoo, face tightening, removing pigmentations, birthmarks and hairs at all sorts places. Recently I read in the magazine about a lady who refuses to smile so that she doesn't get any lines and wrinkles on her face. O: Oh, the length that people will go to just for the sake of beauty.
I know beauty is skin deep, as the term goes. And yes, appearance is always the first thing that people always see, but according to my colleagues. The best way to maintain your beauty is diet, lifestyle, sunblock and sleep. If you got these fours in your hands, you can age gracefully. Yep, you don't have to resort to needles and knives.
Being in a summer all year round country, people often laugh at the use of moisturiser and sunblock. That's why you see many of them having pigmentations, spots, or some having skin that looses elasticity due to the intense heat. Another problem is most patients query, then they turn their nose down when we offer our price, because it's expensive. Aw, come on,you know all beauty products are super expensive, Try Shiseido, it cost more than 300 a bottle, The problem is people aren't willing to fork out money, but they expect high quality services. It's an outrage. You can't go to some cheap food court and expect them to offer you five star quality food. Of course if we go to those fancy restaurants with prices ranging at 30 dollars and above, then yes, we do expect tip top service. Why prices are so expensive are because of maintenance of the building, rental costs, facilities, equipments, products and so on.
Solo show is basically working on the front lines instead of hanging at the back, It means I get bombarded by doctors requests, and I can't say no. Customers who are concerned about beauty will tend to bombard us with tons of really weird questions and I can't exactly shy away. Uhhhh, my head is spinning from all the requests spilling in. And to top it off, I entered a social game which I have no idea to play, yet the tournament is tomorrow. HELP.  

Heatstroke

1st June (Monday) - These few days, we are having major ultraviolet, in other words, sunburns.  I've been shivering on and off, hot and cold, sometimes breaking into chilly sweats for no reason as though I'm having hypoglcemia (low blood sugar). Apparently I've been suffering heatstrokes. So not good. Not good.
These days I felt really weak and fatigue. Not during worktimes, but when I go out, especially to crowded areas. Sigh, not all the Vitamin C and E can help me out in this. Not even the air conditioning unit can save from the heat. To maintain my weight, I went on a vigorous diet that involves warm lemon water, soya based milk, Vitamin C and E, chlorophyll, Not to mention the exercises I'm taking up.Anything I take nowadays goes into my waistline. ==
Most of my patients were ignorant about sunblock. Clearly, they haven't seen Hugh Jackman's lecture on the importance of sunblock. Seriously, the many cases of fractional laser ablation we had done... Most of them were like, "Oh, I can go back to my usual activity.without much worry." Uh, no, you can't. After any aesthetic treatment, your skin will be sensitive. Do not take things like sunblock too lightly. If you don't apply sunblock on your sensitive skin, dark pigmentations will re-emerge. Then you'll end up spending more on second treatment. And no cheap sunblocks allowed. According to my doctor, the best will be SPF 50. And if you are going out, please make sure to get a wide brim hat and umbrella to shield your face from the ultraviolet lights. And shocking news, apparently, the indoor lights of your office also has ultraviolet. Oh my goodness. Shocking, but true. Not it's not dangerous, but long term exposure to the lights like computers can cause uneven skin tone. Hoo boy. No wonder why sunblocks are selling like hotcakes. And that is why I'm also now putting moisturiser plus sunblock, it's a 2 in 1 so I actually saved up a little on the sunblock cost.
Regarding about cases, there's not much to say, most of it were the same, but I finally get to see hair removal. Here's the thing: Permanent Hair Removal is not permanent. Many of my patients complained that they went to do permanent hair removal but they kept getting some hair back. So far, hair removal is not permanent. What we offer is hair growth reduction, which means we can use laser to laser off most of your hair, but there will be a few strands sprouting out, and it's not hundred percent guarantee, depending on the severity of your hair growth. There are some people who come back and tell me it's not effective, but there are some who said it was effective and they only got a few strands poking out. If you are going for armpit hair removal, I won't recommend it. With the blistering heat, hair are your best friend for filtering the sweat.
Tome for me to go to bed, it's going to be very busy tomorrow.
