finally achieved this similar hairdo again after cleaning up the sides today:

I like how the top ever so slightly sweeps to the side. there is nice volume to the top with still enough contrast for texture. layrite maybe too heavy of a product and will weigh my hair down, will try it out tomorrow and use really small amount. it is easy to maintain as well in terms of styling it. i just wet hair and use hand to brush to the side. i like the front profile as well as the side. happy 

edit:

i still think my hairline is receding though, or thinning at the front. sigh

When the time comes I will need to shave and go buzz cut

skin pretty much cleared up today. fresh slate. sort of marking this as reference point and see how I progress this week. also got a new haircut, so, feeling fancy 

I purchased the moisturizer already. Should arrive soon.

I stopped touching my face awhile ago throughout the day. I don't use napkins or handkerchief at restaurants (I try not pig out and take smaller bites).

I thought plucking would actually alleviate ingrown hair. More so, if done long enough would eventually stop the hair growing. Shaving you're not getting at the root but just the surface. I only shave with the grain. Tried against before and though it was smoother caused more bumps :/

I have whiskers 

Like I said I can't grow a full beard like this:

It's literally a small region on both sides of my face the size of my thumb. I think I am scared to shave it b/c of ingrown hairs. Area there is sensitive. Plucking is cleaner and removes the entire hair follicle. 

You think it is hormonal? 

Been thinking about it for awhile since getting into lifting, about my own hormones and whether it is main cause of my skin problem, too.

The thing is I choose the cheapest health plan @ work every year and have not done the research yet to see how expensive it would be to see a good endocrinologist. 

trying to understand why he's so upset was more entertaining. 

^You ever try changing up your diet? 

I avoid eating out nowadays b/c it is hard to tell what ingredients there are. I end up being that one guy who asks for the binder at The Counter to make sure what's what when I put my burger together. It's kind of bad especially with friends and colleagues.

I've basically cut dairy out for about 3+ years and have seen my skin much better than when I was younger. But perhaps the latter had a lot to do with puberty, too. I also avoid greasy food. I had Bon Chon for the first time on Super Bowl Sunday with beer. I immediately had a big red bump on my chin for 2 weeks (it is almost gone now as of today).

If my diet gets messed up, which IMO causes irregular bowl movements, I can tell when I breakout. If I have normal bowl movements usually it's fine. I think it's pretty simple idea; your body has to dispose of the poison and waste. Otherwise, your health is going to react in some way.    

Granted, nowadays stress probably has some part in this all in place of puberty. Just got to be mindful if you got sensitive skin like me. If you slip up, prepare yourself for a few bad days/weeks.  

Thanks, will try it out.

I always feel like I need a lot b/c my skin is that dry. If I put dime size, it looks like I have to reapply a few hours later. That looks when your face is shedding... =S

Probably point 3,4 and 6 apply to me.

I shave with a wet badger brush with cream (damn, so soft and smooth to apply). Non-electrical razor, short/small strokes. I don't get bumps anymore above my lip or chin. It is the uncommon areas that I do not shave, which is bothersome. Why would it even happen I do not know. 

When you say exfoliate do you mean an actual scrub? 

My only regiment right now is Paula's Choice face wash and BHA liquid exfoliate 2% that I use for both day and night.

No lotion (too heavy, cannot find a right one that is clean ingredients), and no sun screen (I work in a office and bring my own lunch, and between commuting and weekends, don't get out much)

I've been told I have curly hair that is also course (former is from my dad, latter is from my mom). I can see that my problem has more to do with hair follicles curled up.

I get it not around my shaving area. My shaving is fine.

It occurs along my lower cheek where I pluck my hair. Every now and then I get bumps and they grow sore. After picking at it I discover its a hair follicle buried beneath. iT'S REALLY ANNOYING...

It's actually something I don't understand...I have whiskers but cannot grow a full beard. fml

ingrown hairs

what to do about them?

Scrubs?

Laser therapy? 

help

get well soon

ughhhh this brings back so much good memories 

i was immersed into this game (FF9, too). But 8 was so much more real (Balamb School!)

what a horrible photoshop

reminded me of Gantz comic 

It's 8:30 and I'm ready to head home. Get in my car and the battery is dead. It's raining outside. I'm hungry. :fu:

fwiw i got home at 10pm after we finally got a hold of cables as the portable battery charger did not work. during that 1.5 hrs or so, i managed to hit my head twice in different instances and have been having headaches / sore all weekend

(I was wearing a parka luckily while in the rain but the hood was so damn big I couldn't see, walking into the car door frame twice as I was trying to get in) 

really fml, hate this shit

P5 looks cool. Reminds me of Catherine in terms of the sharp graphic/gameplay and cut scenes 

edit:

oh duh, also created by Atlus 

when you are almost done using your deodorant stick and the last quarter falls out of the encasing and onto the carpet 

(tried cleaning it but ended up tossing it to the garbage and ordering a new stick )

when you realize that return shipping is not comped, plus, there is a restocking fee 

I ended up keeping the new headphones...at least they look decent. 

So much shopping online and accustomed to free returns. Did not realize Newegg charges a restocking fee + return shipping cost. 

ugh. Well, I've had these headphones since freshman year of Uni, so...'

Thanks for the suggestions!

New headphones coming in and going to return. Fixed the old ones (connection error/wiring issue). Wil pick up something nicer later.
