of mosquitoes & massages.

i seem to have become the official teething ground for baby mosquitoes & adult mosquitoes alike, so much so that we can play advanced level connect-the-dots on my skin & make stupid constellations too.

so in true filipino style, i self-medicated as best i could, & subsequently went crazy with the vicks.


okay, i know of stigmata, which is the spontaneous bleeding & manifestation of bodily wounds, similar to the wounds of the crucified jesus... but i don't think spontaneous bruising in odd places is quite as socially acknowledged.

I KEEP WAKING UP WITH BRUISES ON MY LEGS & ARMS & I HAD TWO SMALL BRUISES ON MY KNEE THE OTHER DAY. THEY LOOKED LIKE NOSTRILS.
i regrettably did not get to take a picture of my 'knee-strills' & they have since faded. boo hiss.

& to part, i remember once getting a hater comment declaring that i was ugly because, "my face is not symmetrical", so uh, the following is a representation of my face if it were perfectly symmetrical:


...err, i kind of maybe doubt said hater's taste in facial alignment, & count me un-square, but SYMMETRY IS YUCK.

love,
nikki

the news is terribly exciting today... which is a double-edged sword because what means good news value for readers is often tragic for the subjects. you can click on the screenshots to read the articles.

    Hmmmmm...You've taken my crown of most desirable outside blood by the mosquitoes in the Philippines. When I was a kid I got so many on my foot one time that once I got back to Canada I had to go straight to hospital & I had to find a doctor while I was in the Philippines.

    Symmetrical you looks like a Bratz doll come to life & there's nothing scarier than that. I don't wanna see symmetrical you. I've read that being slightly off from symmetrical is more pleasing to the eye...don't remember where though

    Hellooo! Heard your song If I Wrote a Letter To Myself on DisneyKid1's video, loved it, found you on Myspace, then found you here when looking for the lyrics. Soooo now that you know how I came to be here ... well, now I have nothing to say. Guess I was just dropping by to say hello! :-D

    P.S. It's amazing what YouTube haters find to complain about; anything and everything!

    Hey. Saw a vid by you on youtube and then wasted a few hours following the links. Amuzing. Thought I'd just drop by and say that I enjoyed your stuff.

    Isn’t there a law that says all Australians must refer to mosquitos as ‘mozzies’?
