YUPIIIII!!!!!
At LAST I get to do some real physics!. After ALL the learning to reduce data and then the reducing of the data, I'm finally going to obtain numerical values about the velocities and accelerations of the CLUMPS in the OUTFLOW. Couldn't be happier. I've got a nice WHITE folder to put all my results in ^-^. This is so EXCITING!!!.
Here are the best 3 perfumes in the whole world. Well, the ones that I like the most, at lest :P
I Love Love. So far, the best perfume I my nose had the luck to come across. It's fresh and fruity, ideal for everyday wear. If you could afford it, that is.
Lolita Lempicka. Currently the only one I own, mostly because is my mum's favourite. The easiest way to describe this perfume is sophisticated and sweet. It strongly reminds you of a Ferrero Rocher, a small hazelnut chocolate sweet.
Amor Amor. A somewhat cheaper version of I Love Love. Also fresh, fruity and ideal for summer.
Please don't misunderstand me. This doesn't mean that I couldn't possibly live without any perfume. Most of the time, I'm not wearing any!. But wether we like it or not, we live in a society that condemns our natural body smell. So, if you want to smell at all, you have to come up with something, don't you?. I don't have anything for or against perfume, escept it's desorbitating expensiveness. And the pompous, posh, pretentious "attitude" people attach to it. Or is it people with pompous, posh and pretentious attitudes who attach themselves to perfume?. The world needs a large dose of HUMILITY. And not of the kind you spray on yourself to make youself more likeable.
Have just finished watching "The Sound of Music" for the upzillion time. It is UNDOUBTEDLY the BEST MOVIE EVER. If you like this movie as much as I do, please comment and let me know!
Also, I think I've finished changing the general aspect of my blog. From now on, it will be mostly posting :D. I think it looks lovely and functional. Will certainly add more things, but nothing major. I'm quite happy with it the way it is now :D
a.k.a. How they make almost anyone look unhumanly PERFECT
It's no new news that our society has an obsession with appearence. We all want to look great. Not "ok", but GREAT. This has a negative effect on people, in particular women, who historically have been most appreciated by their looks. What is this negative effect I'm talking about?. It's not "eating disorders", as many would think. Those are to be taken into account, yes, but let's keep things in proportion. Considering the whole of the female popullation, only a small part have eating disorders of some kind. And of those who do, an even smaller part die from them. That would explain why the goverments around the world haven't payed that much attention to things like "images of models not being real". The chances of a girl seeing one of those images and dying as a consecuence are tiny. However, that doesn't mean that the effects of these images are nil. Quite the opposite. A large percentage of women of all ages have self-esteem problems, particularly related with the image they have of themselves. And I mean LARGE PERCENTAGE. I don't know the exact numbers, and I don't think anyone does. Who would waste money to conduct a survey to show if 90% of the female popullation has (or not) some kind of problem with the way she looks?. And so, it goes on, and on, and on. It affects most of us, but only a little bit.
Well, I'm not going to let it all happen without doing something about it. From my humble and small place in the web (and world), I'm gonna show you how they make models look GREAT by RETOUCHING their pictures: bigger boobs, no wrinkles, flatter tommys, NO PORES.
While you go through this images, keep one thing in mind: THIS IS WHAT YOU COMPARE YOURSELF AGAINST WHEN BUYING A BEAUTY PRODUCT.
Enjoy!
HOW TO VIEW THE IMAGES:
* Move the mouse over the image itself and out of it to see the before and after.

Hello, World
Have to say, I'm still working on the general appearance of this blog, so be warned: there are some things that
a) don't work
b) work funny
On the latest life-related affairs, I would like to say something outloud, fearing, nonetheless, it might not come true as a result. Oh well.
I MAY BE GOING TO FRANCE ON SUMMER HOLIDAYS!!!
Really? I hope so. That's the plan, anyway.
Alone? NO, with cute, huggable, lovely THOMAS ^-^
Where, in France? To Provence. My mum has already bought a book about Provence, so I guess now we shall HAVE to GO :D
Does that mean that you now have money to spend? Eeehm, no. I'm still pennyless. But somehow, we will manage it.
Do you know enough french? No, but Thomas does. Well, he knows some. At least he's studied, I've seen him!. Oh god, we are in trouble!
Does all this mean that Thomas and you are back together? NO MORE COMMENTS.
By the way, thank you so much, Thomas, for the lovely book on Chibis. As soon as I can get hold of a scanner, I will be torturing you and the online world with pictures of my drawings on chibis. LOVELY PROSPECT :D.
Hi, World. Am about to have a cup of the best smelling tea I've ever had. Remember the name, "EARL GREY CREAM", from the "TEA SHOP of East West Company" .
I still haven't found a TEMPLATE that I'm happy with for this BLOG, but I'm getting closer. Have found a brazilian web page that contains lots of great things for the GIRLS who want to have a nice blog ^-^.
