Nonsensical conclusions that float in like ZZZZZZZZ

So here I am at 1am wearing a facial sheet mask to be productive and save time while doing some photoshop stuff and not sleeping so early so as to catch as much time as I possibly can. Kids, I'm teaching you the wrong things.
Anyways obviously the mask won't work.
YOU KNOW WHY?

Yeah I'm sure you do. Pardon the caps, just had to make a point there.
But just in case you really don't know why and I've put you in a state of puzzlement..
here's why:

At 1am, the body is supposed to be resting and thus it is the body's natural beauty sleep and at this moment as I am typing this, eye bags are bringing their heavy luggage and moving in under my eyes until they find another place to go.

Now I kinda wished I did something in the writing field because lately I've been having lots to write and say and the only outlet I have is this blog so the people reading this will have to learn how to read just to read my writings. Okay that was a joke albeit a bad joke.
Right, 15 mins is over, time to take my mask off, which concludes this post.

Btw, Marquis is such a good dog today I think I'll reward him with a little white sheet mystical treat. Stop looking at me like that, I'm only doing what I'm taught. Recycle your facial mask, Reuse it as a dog treat, Reduce litter and wastage!
Well done, me.
I can sleep peacefully tonight and I hope Marquis will too. Though a nagging feeling tells me he might throw up or something in the morning due to bad sushi.......... Hm.
Hey mom, am I psychic?

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted




Summary (12 marks)
Buying a calculator watch for 5 bucks was one of the best decisions of my life (besides nicking my bro's star-wars tee shirt) because it has helped me to count things that my mind would chase about in circles. Like splitting the dinner bill or converting USD to SGD currencies (ahem, zipia) and basically what every calculator would do but mine is just really accessible right now.
I love Glee, just can't get enough of it. How can anyone? It makes you smile even when your heart is breaking, defy some gravity and to not stop believing, of course. Or how good was the Lady Gaga episode- someone make a Michael Jackson tribute soon please.
But one of the best things are the marvelous people around me. How blessed am I ever since God placed them in my life! Natasha stayed over once (and I hope for more) and Shirleen who craps along with me and my lamest jokes while going high without coke.
Not to mention the people who are always there like Hyings and Xoxo and Cassy and Celia and though I did not say your name; you know you're in my heart from the word 'hello'.
Yes that's how easily I'll give my heart to you (provided you're not a creep) but keeping it is a different thing and thank God for friends who choose to keep and protect and cherish it.

But above all, I want to thank God for God (is that possible???) for showing me what love is.
'Cors the gr8est of all is love.
Everyone wants a slice of the love pie. Yum.

Your eyes, your eyes.

I was looking out at the night sky last night and it was breathtakingly beautiful.
Like I literally gasped when I saw the moon with the clouds over the backdrop of bright twinkling stars. I was just telling God how nice it would be to let everyone see and marvel at the sight I'm beholding now then bam, an idea hit me in the head.
Note: this is when you know that you've spent way too much time with Photoshop then with your friends.

This is sort of how God paints out our night skies. Or life in that matter?
First up, create a new document to whatever size your night sky is. Eg if you're looking out through a window then perhaps a 720 x 576? Or if you're looking at a big piece of sky from an open area (like me) then go for a size like 1024 x 576. Or any other numbers, really.

Then God will take the pen tool and depending on the moon shape, take a few quick strokes and tadah- you have a moon! For me, it was three clicks on the mouse using a pen tool to form a crescent moon. Okay for the moon, He clicks on blending options and checks outer glow. Change glow light to yellowish tint and pull spread further to about 20?

Okay next is the background, God creates a new layer and fills in with a navy blue color for the background. He adds in a gradient overlay too to make the end of the night sky tinge with a hint of light blue.

Lastly, the stars. Everybody's starry eyed!
God placed 3 bright twinkling stars for me to make my wish on.
How did He know I needed 3 wishes that night is beyond me.. But then again, He knows my every thoughts!
Of course it differs on how many stars God will put for you but do enjoy them as they shine and remind you to shine on as well :)

And so God saves the psd file under NightSky_Fel.psd and He'll save yours according to your name as well. Creative God we have, yes?

***Take-away dinner is not the same as a home cooked meal filled with love, is it not? No matter, it's take-away dinner for me tonight but no sulking 'cors I have much to be thankful for like a mommy who takes care of me and a hardworking daddy! Feminine mom and a macho dad hohoho. I don't need money I just need you guys in my life! Okay wait... maybe I do need some money :$
