It's a really sunny day today. I think my hairstylist really cut my hair too short. Really didn't know how to style my hair today.. Oh well, saves me some money cos it means it'd be a while before I need to cut my hair again! In the meantime, I'd just look a little "cha-chat" with this super short fringe and super layered hair.

PMS - think that's what I'm having now. Hands up those of you who hate a certain time of the month, where you get all cranky and depressed. Suddenly, your hormones take over your brains. Your skin doesn't look too good (in fact, you'd be lucky if you don't break out in zits!), your skin gets oily, your hair feels flat, your stomach feels like you're 2 months' pregnant, and you start to retain water like a cactus plant. In fact, you become like one with the thorns sticking all about you, waiting to pierce any unsuspecting victim who happens to step on your toes. Constipation. (says it all, doesn't it?)

Chocolates, cookies, cakes, ice-cream, biscuits, and all things high in sugar, fat and carbohydrates become the main staple of the PMS woman. Forget about healthy fruit and vegetables. They just don't satisfy the hormone-ruled brain. The sugar and carbohydrates are known to provide some sort of feel-good hormone to balance the PMS hormone. And a viscious cycle results. You feel fatter after all that "feel-good" food, which ironically, doesn't make you feel too good, especially when the number reflected on the electronic weighing scale seem 3kg more than the usual. No, it's not a zero error, as much you think it is.

Have you seen the PMS woman's wardrobe? It has two sides. One is for the pre-PMS days - usually skimpy, tight, and in short - short. The other side comprises the clothes two sizes larger. They are meant for "feel-fat-days". I'm just using all the clothes on this side of the wardrobe now.

But life has to go on. And so, if you're PMS-ing now, you've got company. Let's just countdown together to the day when grey matter instead of hormones occupy our brains.
