Fluttering Butterflies

*butterflies* *butterflies* *butterflies*

ohmigod, ohmigod. It’s been awhile since I had the butterflies. It could have been a productive weekend but since I haven’t had a proper rest since mid-February, I decided to just lounge around. Speaking of butterflies earlier, I haven’t had it since…last year? I know it isn’t too long ago but I know the butterflies this time is different.

I met someone, well we were introduce by another friend via chat last year. So we’ve been chatting for awhile now. It was mostly casual chats in the beginning, sometimes flirty but indeed just casual. He visited here before but I never got the chance to meet him because he was with his family. Then. He’s seperated now. No, not because of me; I would never ever breakup a marriage.

Off late, we’ve been chatting and texting each other alot. I know he’s going through a slight rough patch with his ex and I certainly don’t want to be the ‘rebound girl’. Oh god, am I thinking towards that direction already? I know I like him and I know he likes me. Although, I don’t know how he really feels about me. As for me, let’s just say I’m already getting the butterflies.

He is a nice guy to start with and I know he loves his children. They are his jewels in his eyes. He’ll text me just about every day, whenever we’re not chatting that is. He has been quite lovey dovey with me; but I haven’t been showing the same signs. Honestly, I am scared. Scared of showing my feelings. I’m trying not to fall for him or for anyone right now. But it’s quite difficult especially when two people communicate with each other so often.

I haven’t heard from him since last night, yet I’m getting goosebumps just thinking about him. I’m constantly on the lookout with my phone. I’m wondering at the things that he does. I’m being extremely figgity at that. Grr.

Venus is all smiley! But she’s scared.

Does this seem to tell you something? It feels like it’s telling Venus something but she’s refusing to admit it.

Double Troubles

Okay, so we all know (unless you’re an ignorant biatch) that not everyone is perfect, right? You may have the perfect symmetrical body, unfortunately you have horrendous body odour; or you might have an attrocious looking set of teeth (no, you look worst than Ugly Betty) but you are liked by all because you’re such a sweetie. You catch my drift? Yeah, I am no different. I’ve got ugly little (little by my means a LOT) double chin that I need to get rid off. This double chin is the bane of my existance I tell ya.

Since I was a teenager (yes, I’m in my 20s if you believe me at all), I was told doing this would help ’shrink’ my double chin.

Slap under the chin with the back of your hand. When slapping, start gently and build up speed gradually. Do this for a couple of minutes each time, two or three times a day.

It’s been years since I started doing this but it doesn’t help. Maybe it’s because I don’t do it as often as I should.

After Googling ‘how to get rid of double chin’, there are a couple of pretty interesting way without having a knife to slit my beautiful baby smooth skin,in short lipo. However, some of these exercises I kinda find I little weird doing. I don’t want anyone to think I’m some idiotic elastic superhero wannabe.

1. Stand comfortably. Slowly raise your head from your chest and tilt it back as far as possible. Do not strain. Close your mouth tightly so that your feel the neck muscles stretch. Count to ten and relax, bring your head back to normal. Start by doing this exercise once or twice a day than gradually increase until you are doing ten a day. (This exercise is fairly easy to do, no doubt without a hassle)

2. Stand comfortable with your head at a natural angle. Open your mouth wide and put your tongue out as far as possible. Count to ten and then relax. Does this as many times as you comfortable can, again building to ten. (Ookay, now this is a little weird; having my tongue stuck out like a gecko waiting for it’s prey. EUWWW!)

3. Stand comfortable with your head at a natural angle. Bring your lower lip- up as far as possible, count to ten and relax. Repeat ten times. (I’ve tried this but somehow I felt uncomfortable doing it. NEXT!)

4. Stand comfortable with your head at a natural angle. Pull your chin upwards so you feel your muscles stretch. Count to ten and relax. Build to ten. (Hmm, this sounds like No. 2)

5. Sit upright, then tilt your head back as far as you can manage, now open and close your mouth several times feeling the muscle stretch each time. (This is similar to No. 2, the only difference is that one has to open his/her mouth while stretching)

After all that stretching and mouth opening-closing, I feel my skin becoming loose as if it’s going to fall off. Now why is that?

Another option of getting rid of my double chin is the possibility of going to the doctor and requesting for pills, which isn’t exactly at the top of my list. It tells people I’m impatient and prefer to solve problems the easier way out. I mean who doesn’t?

My last resort would be liposuction, however it would be so expensive it’ll burn a rather humongous hole in my pocket. Apparently this doctor says that there are advantages to having liposuction. I’m no expert in these things and I do believe there are success surgeries but I still have doubts.

Fine, I’ve made my decision. I’m going to just slap myself silly for the next few weeks, eat right and eventually see how it goes from there. No, I’m not going to show any of you the before or after photos. I’ll leave it to your imagination. Just don’t go overtime.
