MMMiii!

I will admit. Whenever there’s a new product that interests me on the shelves, my tendency is to go and get them. I’ve probably tried all kinds of local shampoos, conditioners and soaps. I’ve tried almost all facial washes (that I can afford) and lotions and hair stuff. I’ve tasted all of Century and Blue Bay and 555 Tuna flavors. I’ve tried all flavors of Lipton and C2 iced tea. I’ve tasted all the instant noodles that I could get my hands on. I’ve also probably tried all the sanitary pads and pantiliners that are usually on the shelves.

And what’s funny? For the non-edible stuff, I end up not really using them, or they just become a part of my collection. I guess I’m easily entertained and convinced by ads (but now I don’t really watch TV or read newspapers, I get blinded by packaging).

Recently, I just bought the Clean and Clear Active Clear Pimple Clearning Speed Gel. I’ve already tried all the Clean and Clear products. This one was just a little too expensive… but my officemate uses this other brand and it doesn’t seem to work. I know C&C works well on me so today I finally got one. I do have an acne treatment cream that Eelai gave me once, and wonder of wonders, I know where it is. It’s just that I’ve only used it once. And I’m not really sure if I’ll be using it again.

You’d think that with all the creams and lotions and stuff I’ve been buying for my face would ruin my skin. But no. Fact is I hardly use them. It’s wasteful on my part. That’s why recently, I’ve been sharing extras.

But I’m proud to say that I’ve really been controlling myself with those stuff. Like really really, to the point that I run out of shampoo and conditioner now (I used to have at least 2 bottles in stock). I don’t buy tuna anymore. Of course, there are still some things that I would prefer not to run out of, like noodles. For shampoo, there’s always Taba’s shampoo for backup (it’s human shampoo that I use on my dog).

Now, I have to be practical if I really want to go to Hong Kong and meet Mumu this year or Japan next year or around the world in the years to come \o/
