confessions of a habitual scent maniac
okie here's the truth. i'm allergic to scents... not purely a lie... though scents may be overlooked on the whole as good or bad smell. probably i've a mixture of both that i'm extremely irked by.
first, the bad smells. conventionally, growing up i was only exposed to 2 types of bad scents that could make me nauseous and stomach lurged in a matter of minutes. wad aroma does this bad smell derive from? basics such as body odour - the stench of smelly armpits which is the accummulation of sweat and the bacteria that dwells in the midst of such heavenly environment of theirs, HongKong foot - which sld not have juz purely hongkonger's status in its definations... okie so it can be called atheletes' foot too.. but it also doesn't do justice in its naming since majority of those suffering from it do not fall into its catergory as a sports personal.
i believe that almost everyone living on this alien planet EARTH probably suffers from the first phenomenon. blame it on God's creation of humans then... why muz hair grow under the two things we call arms? i recoil and digress into a biological and scientific persona of wad purpose does the hair (inevitiably derived after puberty hits) under the arms do? i shudder to think that hair under there cld possibly serve as a purpose of endowment, where like as we decorate our mop of hair over our head, armpit hair(crudely put across) was meant n given by God for such decorative purpose too... or is it?
so anyhow, such areas of hair does nothing much other den to give us the problem of stench n possibly affecting thousands of ppl we meet every single day. so human's, being brillant folks decided to incline women during the midst of modernization n fashion upcoming, deem it fit to be HAIRLESS, where methods now have sprang up ranging from shaving, plucking, waxing and even laser treatments.... juz to embody the notion that having hair at that area wasn't a lady-like style. but then again wad purpose those removing such sensitive parts of hair serve? it bows down to how clean that area can be after hair-removal...
so as a matter of fact, removing hair there does serve to rid of smell?? no wholly true since even urs truly here plucks her armpit hair (not shy in admitting) but the smell still prevails. undoubtingly, odour still stays no matter how many times u cleaned urself, bathed etc. so there's the market to rid of such odours. i suggest u ppl reading this think over logically how much good it does to u using such products.in the short-run u may smell like a fashion rose, but in the long run we see breast cancers deriving.
present situations are such, i can NEVA leave my house w/o a good dorse of deoderants or so the market calls it. since odours n scents plays an impt part in me objectifying how presentable the person is, this is it : IF U SMELL PLEASE USE THEM AND DON'T MAKE ME LOSE MY APPETITE EVERYTIME I WALK PASS ANOTHER SUCH LIKE U!
okie back to my topic. Hongkong foot! (and currently i've a packet of fried rice sitting next to me whilst my mind if recalling how irksome such feets must smell) i won't be so kind as to ignore the fact that it's in my life PER SE now... my darling has it. here i am spilling my guts out n bitching abt how i hate the stench everytime he comes home from work and takes off his shoes, where i sld be actually out there trying to get to the root of solving his odour problem. but anyhow, its a here-there situations. i contemplated over it and have realised that since he doesn't face normal BO problems the stench muz come out somewhere!!! so its from his feet...
personal hygiene which is how the society calls it is probably the most common-sensical habit to uptake n proceed with.
i move into the good smells. loading on EXTRA DORSES OF expensive porsh perfumes n colognes hence making u a walking scent shop isn't necessarily an attractive thing. think a mixture of sweat n cologne aroma whiffing into ur nostrils... doesn't sound n feel nice is it? if i may hence offend any of such reading this, i cannot care less but will still say it. If u are fat n sweat even when u're juz having a meal please spare the public from ur extravagent ways of beautifying urself by perfuming n trying ways to masks ur sweat glands!!! the world will be so much a better place!!!
- the fried rice still sits here... after all the avid scenerios and scents i have imagined so far... it looks undecidingly distasteful to me now - URGH!
