Superstars in pajamas
For those of you who still haven’t seen this yet, here it is again!
T.T OMG I miss our SS House!!! J5, Block dunnowhat, James Blyth Court! And OMG I miss all our festive combined-XMas/CNY decorations!
But most of all I miss the girls and all the great fun we had together =)
PS: Yah no more blogspot edi lar, sudah become wordpress.
PPS: Yah I seriously cannot remember how come I chose a chinese song for this lol.
sigh.
You know there’s definitely something wrong with the relationship when you feel lonely even while he’s holding your hand.
But I’m sorry.
OMFG WHAT WILL THEY THINK OF NEXT???
Girls, please pay attention!
OK so there’s this drug called ‘bimatoprost‘ (brand name Lumigan) which is an opthalmic prostaglandin (try pronouncing it slowly 3 times, I promise you’ll get it) used to reduce the intraocullar pressure of eyeballyballs in patients with glaucoma. SUPER YAWWWWWWWN!
Or so it was.
Apparently some smart women (when I say women, I mean women, cause men would never in a million years notice this) realised that after using Lumigan for some time their eyelashes started to grow longer, thicker, darker and fuller!
OMFG is that a great side effect or what??? You can’t even call it an adverse effect cause there’s absolutely nothing bad about it! It’s a pure miracle!
So now the company which I assume holds the patent for bimatoprost – Allergan – started marketing the exact same thing (in the same 0.03% concentration version) for the treatment of hypotrichosis.
Bah humbug! That’s just medical jargon for NOT ENOUGH LASHES aka Asian lashes lah.
(Don’t you hate that the Westerners are the ones that came up with this? AS IF GOD DIDN’T ALREADY GIVE YOU ENOUGH! GAH!)
So after some slightly dodgy clinical trials (which includes the testimonial of one Brooke Shields), the US FDA registered LATISSE as a prescription treatment for hypotrichosis.
Before and after photo of Brooke Shields’ eyelashes. If you can’t see the difference you’re either blind (and need bimatoprost for your glaucoma anyways) or are a dude.
I really hate to say this but if you stare closely enough you’ll realise than in her ‘after’ shots there is a slight discolouration of her eyelids, which is one of the listed side effects boo.
I really don’t see the point of making it prescription-only tho. How the hell is a doctor gonna diagnose ‘a lack of thick, full, dark, beautiful eyelashes’? And it’s not like they’re gonna put it on for you; you have to apply it yourself everynight cause the effect goes away once you stop. Darn it’s a conspiracy I tell you. But anyhuu, I guess no choice lar since FDA insists on having a doctor’s assessment and supervision. Damn the docs are getting even richer.
(And oh yes it does come with a whole list of side effects, although I suspect these have been downplayed by the company. Most common would be eye irritaiton, no surprise.)
It says on Wiki that stimulating hair growth is memang common with use of opthalmic prostaglandins. A few other companies even sued Allergan cause they claim to have already released cosmetic (non-prescription) prostaglandin analogs with the same indication.
Manatau one of them kena zhap lap by the FDA cause it was tainted with bimatoprost lol.
And apparently another so-called side effect of this wonder drug is that it reduces fat!! WTH!
Oh hey I wonder if it also works for normal hair?? Then we wouldn’t have to look at ugly fat bald man ever again! Just plain ol’ ugly man, cause I doubt bimatoprost works wonders on facial features. Sigh, that would just be too good to be true.
OK the only downside of this is that one month’s supply of this is gonna set you back USD$100++ bah! I could probably just get eyelash extensions for one third of the price sigh.
Anyhuu…
I super can’t wait til they bring this drug to Malaysia!!! This is super gonna make doctors and Allergan rich, but I bloody don’t mind cause we would all finally have lush lashes!!! When I say ‘we’ I assume I’m gonna be joining the ranks of the rich and fabulous anytime soon lol.
Gee, I wonder whether I’ll be the one to evaluate their product dossier when they do apply for registration in Malaysia? Even more reason to stay at the bureau!
(Can’t wait til they lose their patent and India comes up with a generic version teehee!)
Now if that ain’t GLAM pharmacy, I don’t know what is!
You belong with me
I’m so feeling Taylor Swift right now, despite all her teensyness.
You’re on the phone with your girlfriend, She’s upset
She’s going off about something that you said
She doesnt get your humour like I do
I’m in the room, its a typical Tuesday night
I’m listening to the kind of music she doesnt like
And she’ll never know your story like I do
But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts
She’s cheer captain and I’m on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you’ll wake up and find
That what you’re lookin for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I’m the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can’t you see?
You belong with me
You belong with me
Walkin the streets with you in your worn out jeans
I cant help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on the park bench thinkin to myself
Hey isnt this easy?
And you’ve got a smile that could light up this whole town
I havent seen it in awhile, since she brought you down
You say you find I know you better than that
Hey, Whatcha doing with a girl like that?
She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She’s cheer captain and I’m on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you’ll wake up and find
That what you’re looking for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I’m the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can’t you see?
You belong with me
Standin by, waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that?
You belong with me
You belong with me
Oh I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night
I’m the one who makes you laugh when you know you’re about to cry
I know your favorite songs and you tell me about your dreams
I think I know where you belong. I think I know it’s with me.
Can’t you see that I’m the one who understand you?
Been here all along so why can’t you see?
You belong with me
Standing by or waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that
You belong with me
You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me
You belong with me
