I judge by da cover, so what?

You know how sometimes ppl say don't 'judge a book by its cover' because we could be deceived by it?

The blunt truth is, even the person who believe it like a life-saving-guide does it unconsciously. hypocrite? not really, at least they tried.

I am one of the majority that does it consciously and willingly, but not to the extreme.

WHY?

I'm telling you, judging something/someone by its cover is the most useful tool in making fast decisions. Eventually, everyone does that when they need to decide and don't have many light years ahead to evaluate or let the devil/angel in them battle to the end.

so what if we made the wrong decision in the end? at least we learn more tips in doing that again next time!

Someone I used to know always say, 'The dressing doesn't matter because it's what you are that counts.'

I didn't agree. The first impression is of utmost importance. What they see in the real you is more of a support.

Conclusion? I think I win hands down if we're to debate.

note: this entry came about just because me and iris were hunting for books by looking at iys cover, at a book sale. LOL!

Cartilage piercing = Ear deformity

To everyone who intends to do cartilage piercing on their ears, you have to take note of this and think twice! Wait...maybe thrice! Here's how cartilage piercing looks like.

Someone I know got a helix piercing, it's on the cartilage of the ear. Few days after that, the ear was swollen and pus were coming out, forming crust around the ear. It's an infection obviously.

She went and see doctor and the doctor told her this:

" Usually people are advised to do piercing on the ear lobes because it's all flesh. Cartilage is different since the blood supply in that area is very minimal. Any infection might spread to the whole cartilage and it's more difficult to administer medicine due to the scarce blood supply to it."

"At a little worse case scenario, the ear might feel a bit harder or softer than usual, showing that the texture of the cartilage changed."

"At worst scenario, the ear might be deformed due to the infection on the cartilage!"

That's when you hear my friend gasps and shocked...

Imagine your ear curling or curved or looks like a dry leaf. Eherm!

And it's not something your usual piercer will tell you. It might not happen to all, but there's a possibility to it. The ear deformity thing I mean...
