Weekend Rest Fully Utilized . UFC 156

this weekend has been an absolute satisfaction for my mind, body & spirit!
employed naps at every instant where i felt a tad bit of fatigue. a much needed Saturday to recover from a week-long of endurance! now i feel rejuvenated to take on another week of challenges yup! my bank of energy will prolly dwindle by Wednesday but it's k cuz i have my "teh o ping, more sweet" to get me going! haha

-------

after MUCH MUCH deliberation & consideration.. i've decided to invest in some skincare stuff!
finally.. at almost quarter of a century old haha!
anyway first up! got d L'Oreal Men Expert Vita Lift Eye as recommended by a reliable source yay! by rite it should be $27.90 but Guardian Health & Beauty had a discount so i juz had to snag it up. this should help treat my panda eye bags, after a week at least i reckon!

nvr really believed in lip balm but since my lips keep drying up recently due to prolonged hrs in air-conditioned places, i had to clinch this superbly affordable $3.50 Simply MEN Lip Balm SPF 20. couldn't find d suggested L’Occitane Ultra Rich Lip Balm tho. hope i won't have any side-effect reactions to this! lol

ok d reason y i had to buy this NIVEA Invisible Protection Transparent Spray SPF 50 instead of d commended Laneige Homme Leports Sun Block SPF50+ was due to multiple reasons. d rest r for kids & others dun seem so user-friendly or don some kinda odour. since this had pretty good reviews from d UK, i guess it isn't a bad substitute yup. i like getting tanned or being under d sun sometimes but not unevenly & it should only be when i'm exercising, not travelling. so.. i've acted on my predetermined intent of acquiring some kinda sunblock.. ALAS! hehe..

what pricked at me tho, was that i couldn't find d Mentholatum for Men Charcoal Face Wash(d $7.50 one) anywhere. they only had d normal $3.50 one which didn't have Charcoal on it so i didn't dare to try since it's my first time & i'd really appreciate doing it right. of cuz there was NIVEA, Neutrogena & GARNIER brands for charcoal face-wash but i better experiment on such w/out real proper instruction imo. hope i can get it soon or i might have to see a skin clinic in d near future. mine is prolly not juz normal breakout or rashes but rather, some faint form of rosacea or seborrhoeic dermatitis. when i was in nsf d MO used to give me this mild hydrocortisone to apply but i've run out argh!

also bought a neat Hugo Boss Night cologne from British Essential. i'll have to skip on d Tommy Hilfiger one for now! hmm.. hope all of these r a highly profitable investment =)

UFC 156's main event was a freaking disappointment between d announced scoring of Frankie Edgar & Jose Aldo. it was so bloody obvious that Frankie Edgar is the NEW 145lbs champion. those judges should be fired & have d result reversed really. absolute horror to watch d belt being retained on Aldo when he didnt earn it this time. didn't they take into account Frankie's endurance for pain? his endurance for pain is at least 5 times higher than Jose Aldo & dat's y he doesn't mind getting hit. he moved at d same pace in d 4th & 5th round as he did in d 1st despite d damage dealt to him as compared to Jose Aldo's slowing movements from d 3rd round onward. doesn't that mean anything? d fragility on d bones in his face doesn't equate to his threshold & tolerance from being able to think, react & continue fighting at a high level. 


what about this?
 what about this?
what about this?
i'm not d only one feeling d same way. d live crowd there still FEEL similarly up till now. these r just in round 3 where Frankie's strategy is starting to bear fruit.

what about this?
i bet d judges didn't think abt how Frankie feigned a take-down once in round 4 & pushed Aldo against d cage so he could knee Aldo's right hamstrings freely. primary objective accomplished. did d judges not take this into account as well?

d cameras were so distinctly biased by hiding majority of shots done by Edgar too. they should really re-review the damn match & give d belt to Frankie Edgar. it's so detestably unfair especially in this instance that i dun tink it's worth watching another UFC event until d blasted judges have their families burned alive for ruining an entire man's family, friends & training partners because they were just too lazy to use their freaking brains to evaluate & figure out who really won. poor Dana having to live with those parasites.
