I am still growing...

30 years old and having to deal with pimples. Not only is that embarrassing but also quite ridiculous and funny at the same time.

- Two days ago I killed Cupid (surprisingly enough MANY people joined me in the dark feeling)
- Yesterday I had a great Chinese Lunch (Gong XI, Gong Xi. I think the lady is still blessing us with their prosperous wishes)
- Today: A PIMPLE. A MAJOR ONE!!! (would this be a curse from CUPID or a consequence of the food? Mistery!)

You know those pimples which strongly push from the inside of your facial flesh. Those ones that feel like your face is gonna explode at any moment, but yet you go to the mirror and you cannot see much, but if you touch: AW! there they are. And you want it to go away as fast as it can be possible: in an hour, or two at MAX. But you know you are stuck with it for a couple of days. (It is like, you know when you go out with friends and some undesired acquaintance joins the group. THAT FEELING! You know you are there already and you are stuck with that person for a couple of hours and there is not much you can do. Impotence!)

Sadistically Growing.
Painfully Mutating.
Expanding on its own epicenter.
Feeding off the stress and the lack of moist due to poor hydration during long working hours and lack of sleep.
A pimple. A disgrace of nature indeed.

10 AM It did not even bother me
11 AM I started noticing the discomfort when I spoke
12 AM It began to literally hurt (yet I had no time to go and check in the mirror)
2 PM After quick lunch I went and checked: THERE IT WAS. Secure and firmly grabbing the inner muscles of my face
4 PM I could not resist and went again to check. The bastard HAD grown to a point that I could even see a little pair of eyes and a sarcastic smile in its face. I thinbk it even developped a personality and all.
5 PM I attempted to explode it with the traditional “two-finger press” NOT A GOOD IDEA AT ALL! Not only did it hurt, but it also became worse
6 PM I decided to just let it be and it will die eventually in three days (hopefully). But I tell you, it is bothering the crap outta me.

Something interesting to try: walk around your office and ask people what’s good to make pimples go away. The wide variety of answers will blow your mind away. The more international the office the more options you will have. Techniques that include tooth paste rubbing, popping them with a needle, applying a hot a knife dipped in lemon juice, and many more.

So I go: Aaaaam how about NOPE?! Since I still intend to use my face for some more years how about we brainstorm a bit more before implementing your technique, ok? (GEEEZ!)

POR QUE!? POR QUE!? Quien me manda a venir a estos lados! Estan todos locos!

(PS: Any other technique that we should know? Let's at least share the different remedies we know of)
