should i say, i just got engaged ! June 26, 2009
should i say, i just got engaged ! ahem..to G ?!!
phew !! finally the day is over ! or should i say the day when my life is going to change completely and forever is over !!things will not be the same how much ever i want them to be the same. I have been introduced to whole new family today, a family very similar to mine, just that they are all new faces.The “YES” did not come to me as a surprise as i was sure about it , referring to my previous post.After meeting the ultra cool mom in law and uber cool sis in law, today i met very stylish and elegant aunts ( sisters of mom in law).Graceful in every little way, right from their talking style,
accent, cracking jokes and pulling each others leg.I was simply bowled over by suseela aunt ..oh so posh attitude of hers! my california james aunty is nothing before this suave aunt 🙂 ok now enough of aunts business and coming to the point about the event 😀 actually therez so much to write and so little time to type in the whole episode..it being already very late in the nite.
haari gave me a bracelet. shankar thathaya gave G the gold chain.then we ate a sweet in typically tollywood style.then we took some pics. went to minerva and had dinner and took few more pics before departing for the day only to be prepared for still more hectic day ahead.
unforgettable moments of the day
sis in law saying me and my bro are diametrically opposite souls
mom in law reassuring “bhayapadakamma” just before saying good nite and taking leave for the long day and yes, G is very lazy and someone needs to push him 😉 (i am like . from where ??!! lol :D)
G saying “mom guess what !! shez a leftie !!! and asking for my number..actually u know what i never thought he ll ask for my number.so planned to take up this initiative and call mom in laws number tomm morning ( am i being too pushy here :P)
sis in laws hubby’s face detection joke of the car tyre …lol 😀 this guy is damn funny
my cornell still remains on with a big question mark.the irony is now mom wants to support it and dad wants to say oppose it…i was all the while worried as it was vice-versa isn’t it?
the strange things were
everybody calling me “swati” and reffering to me as “swati” instead of bujji. i was like oh! calling me ??!!
mom saying, G ki enta peoperty undi? adganeledu enti?
dad saying, appude ayyipoyinde enti ra? antha thodara ga? it feels like a vacuum now!
glow session
since i already knew about this event , i wanted to be well equipped and prepared for the D-day.so i took the express glow session which i reserved for “this” special occasion . went to the locker and got jewelery too.of course am not even a bit surprised and want to be ready for occasion.
my session@kaya
1. cleaned the face with some kinda transparent perfumed gel
2.aloe vera gel massage – 10 mins
3.booster pack 2 mins (the same one used for SR)
4.lacti peel 8 mins (the meldarma -19500 wala)
5. rehydrating mask or the thermo mask – 15-20 mins
6.application of suncreen daily use
the result is visibly glowing, soft , smooth oh so se*y skin 😀
PS: the result is not visible immediately , visible only after 6 hrs..best looking skin is the next day and day after
felt really tired , exhausted and dehydrated after the session
intuition or 6th sense? June 25, 2009
On 23rd june i had been to chilkur and all the while i was doing the pradakshinas i had this very strong intuition that G will call and say yes. It was getting crowded and hotter by the minute but i was lost in my dreamland of kotha bangaru lokam and veli veli paalu olikamma.by the time i came home,i was really very tired and asked mom if G called? then mom told me tht i keep that matter aside and not worry about it.i said ok and was not worried about it even a bit like i was till yesterday! i slept happily and to my biggest surprise G’s dad called in the evening! i was not even surprised now as though i already knew it were going to happen as though somebody in chilkur whispered this into my ear.
SR PR session June 20, 2009
i thought today i ll blog abt the good things @kaya. i started my skin peels SR-PR for pigmntin on feb 13th. today i took 5th session and i admit tht i see a drastic improvement in skin tone and color.SR has suited my skin like no other.itz just the best.Sr is nothing but a glycolic peel. after my second session when i went for third session complaining abt not seeing any results i got into the cosmo mess.cosmo is the worst kind of peel, the TCA peel. i thought it even made one’s skin age faster. so again i used the whole amt for arms and started taking arms care.on the same day i also got my sr third session after recovering from the damage done by the cosmo in the 3rd sessions palce. today i got my sr 4th session and peels ka 5th session. i noticed tht slowly and gradually the skin tone is becoming even.the upper
lip,below lower lip and corners of mouth, forehead have improved drastically. only nose is a bit darker tone..but thtz just becoz itz too oily and sr is not able to counter the effect of oiliness. the skin becomes smooth,soft, supple and radiant as soon as the session and the glow stays for a week..slowly fading with pollution, tan , dust, grime and other harmful
things.had i been rich, i would have taken sr every fortnight.but now plannig to restrict myself for an sr every 2.5 months.sr had literally no side effects till date except beautiful, young,glowing skin and whole lot of compliments :Di spent a total of 22245 for this and got discounts of 7615 in the form of junk membrshp and in effect spent 15 grand for the whole thing. guess, its good thing for the results it showed and the recovery form the sun burnt skin back from chn.
