Last Sunday, i went sailing with my BF and some friends. I have been living in Mexico long enough to know that the sun here, even in March, is not a pussy and can do some serious damage. So yeah, first thing i put in my bag for the day, was the sunblock. As well as a hat, sunglasses and everything else you take when you go to the beach.
Since i am insanely sensitive to the cold and the departure was at 8am, i also carried with me a long sleeve shirt, sweat pants and a sweater. Tourists on board the sailboat looked at me like "what the hell is wrong with you?". Not that i really care what they think. I've been working in the sun for the past 8 years, trust me, i know how to protect myself. And no, you will never see me so burnt it hurts just to look at it. I has happened to me in the past and i swore it wouldnt happen to me ever again.
Well i should have shut up. I dont get burnt at work on the pier. I dont get burnt on the ears, in the neck, on the back of the legs, on the feet when i use sandals. No no. That, i have under control. But there is ONE spot i had no idea i could get THAT burnt. And man, does that hurt.
I got sunburnt on my lips. Just the lower one. But you should see how gross it is, how painful it is, how disgusting-looking it is. I can't smile, i can't open my mouth wide enough to feed myself, i can't kiss, i can't do anything. And it hurts like fucking hell. I mean my lip is burnt to the millionth degree, broken open in 4 different parts, full of pus and scabs. IT IS GROSS. I had no idea that could happen. But yet again, i should have known better. I have sailed in the past, i have skiied in the past. And never has that happen to me.
When i told my dad that i had burnt lips, the first thing he asked me was: did you go sailing or what? Damn dad, how do you KNOW?
So yeah, now i'm at home, taking care of my destroyed lip, applying after-sun aloe vera lotion on it every 2 hours and well, hoping for the best. By "the best" i mean hoping that i will get my soft lip back sometime soon. It's been almost week, i have suffered enough.
PS: after yesterday's picture, i thought maybe a post without a creepy disgusting ripped lip was a good idea.
PS: OK, real reason why i didnt put a picture is because i couldnt find one disgusting enough :)

On Why I Wish I Was Born A Man
WHOAZA !!
What a catchy title!
Ok, this really is random rambling. I had that very sentence passing through my brain this other day. Well, it was more like, "damn, why the fuck arent i a man?" or "jeez, lucky bastards men are, they dont have to pull up with all that shit".
By "all that shit", i mean, menstruation. It's not precisely shitty to menstruate, it's just a plain pain in the ass. Well, not exactly in the ass. Oh come on, it's an expression. Aaaaargh. Godammit. See what i mean. THAT kinda shit. Those swings of mood. The simple fact that everything and anything can irritate the crap out of you. Either that or make you break down and cry. And realizing you're crying cause you're boyfriend didnt say "thank you" when you passed him the salt over dinner makes you feel even shittier.
So needless to say that overacting is also part of the deal. It's kind of a package deal you know. And how lucky are we? It's a package deal that comes back every single bloody month (no pun intented).
So yeah, there are some great advantages about being a man. Apart from the obvious, like being able to pee standing (i personally think that is freakin AWESOME), having the strenght to change your car-wheel alone, not being screwed up by the mechanics, being able to burp or spit in public, not having to queue for hours in public bathroom, sitting with your legs open, cheap underwear (or no underwear at all) and another billion of other stuff, i truly think that the best advantage on being a man is not having to deal with your hormones as much as we do as women.
I also think this is the reason why there aren't too many women in power in the world. Because even though we can multitask where men can't, even though we can be a housewife in the morning, a perfect employee in the afternoon, super mom in the evening and a great wife at night and men can only be men, those 4 days a month screw us all up ... And big time.
So gentlemen, i'm not gonna ask you to excuse us to be unfathomable every now and then, just shut up, suck it up and deal with it. The best you can. Just as we do ;)
For those who have no idea what this is all about, and for your general information, no, we don't bleed enough to write fuck off and die in blood on the floor of our bathroom, otherwise, we'd truly be those creatures from another planet who can heavily bleed 4 days a month and still be alive and kicking. What kinda freaky being can do that?
And yes, i also think this drawing is creepy. But it matches the mood perfectly :D

I Want A Giraffe
DAMN! I haven't been writing in AGES. Kinda makes me feel guilty as hell. I can't say i haven't thought about it but i have been so very busy lately.
So very busy taking care of my stupid ZOO on Facebook. I mean damn, this thing is addictive. So there i am, with my hundreds of animals, reproducing them, training them, salving them, adopting them, whatever you can do with them, accumulating points, and buying lush trees and bushes which can give you more coins when you shake them, and collecting bags of money from the entrance, and searching for the treasures that are hidden in your neighbor's/friend's zoos, and shaking their trees and statues to get more coins, and trying to get through the achievements and instructions they give you, and dying to buy a mammoth (but it's only by giving your credit card number and i'm not that addicted yet) and this and that. Takes me ages to find the treasure in my own bloody zoo cuz i got so many cages to check.
So yeah, i had a Happy Aquarium and i was fine with it. Cleaning my tank and my friend's tanks, collecting coins in my treasure chest and my friend's chests as well, buying new fishes, training fishes, adopting fishes, buying decorations for the aquarium and stuff, yeah, that was when life was easy.
Then i got hooked into Happy Island and now in Zoo World.
What is the point of those games? There is NONE. And that's the saddest part of it. I mean i spend HOURS playing for absolutely nothing. Doesnt bring me money or reward of any kind. I just get extra 250 points or 1 extra wildlife coin when i go up in levels but that's pretty much it. Maybe one day i'll be over it. But in the meanwhile ...
I
WANT
A
GIRAFFE
(that very same one that you can see on the picture ... the elephant and the lion, i got already, but the giraffe, i really want - and FYI, MY zoo is now worth $15849600 (not that pathetic $750 mrentioned on this screen) and i have 4 islands full of animals ...)
Please ... :)
