starring...

Ugh. I have this pimple that just won't go away. It's been there for a month already and is getting very annoying, especially when I look at my face and see it there every morning; this giant blemish marring my otherwise (relatively) smooth skin.

So, I set out on a quest to get rid of it. I searched the net for ways to burst pimples without leaving scars. After some time, I sterilised a needle, pricked my pimple and squeezed it. Looks smaller now but still bumpy, wth.

Interesting meme I did 3 years ago:

Actually, interesting answers. I shall do it again for fun.
