OK well, still healing and clearing up! Still blotchy, as a lot of pimples are just sort of dying, but no new ones today! The deep cyst my the side of my mouth is still there, but not painful. It's not even all that red or noticeable, I can just feel this swollen bump in there. Disconcerting, but seemingly inactive.

Had my first meal out in a couple weeks last night with a friend (Thai - beef satay, minced pork lettuce wraps, broccoli and shrimp) and managed to be pretty strict. No telling what everything was cooked in though - will see if something happens in the next couple days.

Oh, and forgot to say - maybe the healing had something to do with the fact that last week mum and I had a spa evening. She got a massage, and I got a facial, complete with extractions! Man, it fucking hurt to high heaven, and I was so afraid that she'd go for deep zits that just weren't ready to be popped yet, but of course I was just over-thinking things. My face looked amazing afterwards, the most even it has in a couple months! Am getting another one on Monday, in prep for my return flight to the US.

Would absolutely love to be somewhat cleared up when I go home. Haven't seen my boyfriend in 6 weeks, it would be amazing to meet him at the airport a lot less ugly than when I left, haha. Just got to stay disciplined, and the results will come! Godspeed, everyone! :)

The NEW LURKER is still there by the right side of my mouth, it's swollen pretty tight but still, no pain or discolouration. Will probably go like the ORIGINAL LURKER, by just fading away under the skin. Other than that, still healing up! No new pimples, just a couple more healing spots.

Had another facial today, feeling all pampered and pretty! Leaving HK the day after tmw. I feel that once I get back to the States, the last bit of this stuff'll clear up. I'm confident, in fact! Sure beats feeling down and depressed, ha. Am so excited to see Joe again (BF). :) Will probably update again after I get back.

Hello! How are you?

Am back in California, feeling good. Have slipped into it pretty well, still battling jet lag though (as is expected - this is my third day back).

Face-wise, have not noticed any huge changes, I'm still relatively clear, just one or two on my cheek forming, and a whooole lotta red marks to contend with. I feel the end is nigh! But in a good way.
