a hi-lo maintainance gurl, she is.

a pretty hectic day, i'd been thru' today. up at 7 then at the go all day long. tried to sum up all meetings as fast as i could, in particular, so that i can make it to my facial appointment.

it's been 2 months since my face been treated properly. once upon a time, when i was still a "socialista" (read: pengangguran who doesnt know what to do everyday) i visited NSC like once for every two week. Not that i'm taking precious attention to my face, hair and body. it's just that because i had nothing to do so i went there. but, since i got resuracted back to life (read: working like a mad woman) i have not step a foot on the place. i got called and been told tat i've missed my schedule, way back.

there's always queue at NSC. But hey, welcome to Indonesia my friend, this is the country where you can cut in the line if you know how. so, to cut the story short, i cut in the line and saw the doctor with no waiting necessary. She just touched my skin and wrote prescription.

"perawatan seperti biasa?"
"iya seperti biasa aja"
"mau jet pill?"
dalem hati sii mau, tapi harganya mahal gak kira2! so i said,
"nanti ajah dokter. next appointment"
"oh ya uda, perawatan terus peeling aja ya."
"peeling? chemical peeling?"
"iya. nanti kalo gatel2 sedikit tahan aja ya"
setau saya, peeling itu kan pengelupasan kulit. bagus sih. tapi yang pake tante2 yang udah umur 40.
"memang saya uda perlu di-peeling yah dokter?"
"yah bagus ko buat peremajaan kulit. anak kelas 5 SD ajah banyak ko yang uda di peeling"
"jadi nanti kulit sy dikelupasin gitu ya dokter? memang ada masalah apa dengan kulit sy?"
"engga ada sih. jadi kan perawatan kamu ga gitu2 aja. biar bervariasi"

I WAS LIKE.. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS WOMAN!? Welcome to Indonesia my friend, the country where the doctor does not know what she is doing. she just write the prescription just for the sake of doing it. I mean, does a 21 year old needs a layer of her skin to be taken off, just because it's variety and people are doing it. of course the anak kelas 5 SD is doing it. she doesnt know what peeling is and the doctor just told her to. (now here is the time when education from Sex and the City eventually comes handy haha)

Goodness me, ibu dokter!

anyway, i did not undergo the chemical peeling thing, but the ibu dokter still manages to squeeze penies out of my purse. You know doctors are people with the highest IQ but worst handwritting, right? This ibu dokter, she writes the names of medicines tat i need to take for my daily use. I can hardly read her hand writings. i thought they are just the usuals, you know, moisturaiser, toner, cleanser etc. but i was shocked, when i check my beauty case at home. she made me to purchase "krim leher" pagi dan malam. I WAS LIKE.. WHAT THE HEW IS THIS WOMAN DOING?! Why on earth does a 21 year old need to apply 2 different types of krim for her neck!! OKAY, i admitted tat i got some wrinkles on my eyes. if she got me an eye cream, yes i can appreciate that. BUT DI LEHER..?? does she think i am ageing or something?

hhhh.... ya sudahlaahhh.... kalo kebanyakan ngomel2 entar leher sy beneran keriputan and really does need the krim leher... i'm happy thou' that finally i got sum1 to squuze my black pores. yes, i'm admitting to that as well. i am a billionaire of black pores, and they have made me to endure torturing for at least 30 minutes every month. but yes, i am glad that for this time of the month i'm done with that. ahhhh... gotta go now. another meeting in 15 minutes. (with red nose, yes i look like rudolph the red nose dear, admitting to that one too!)
