    i’m one of the “lucky” one to be diagnosed with Rosacea, then I saw that my dad has it and my cousin has it as well. probably runs in the family.

    my dad keeps saying its shingles, and he keeps going to this folk medicine place to treat it. they snap this rubber band at your ears and saying it kills the “snake”. He has pustules, papules and the bulbous noise, then also blame it on yeet hei.

    As it ticks every single Rosacea box, GP told him it’s rosacea, and referred him to dermatologist. my old man : NOOOO IT’S A COMBINATION OF YEET HEI AND SHINGLES, can only be treated by eating “cold” food and folk medicine for shingles!

        Rosacea no med, only has a topical steroid cream that works for a day and you apply daily praying that it would go away.

        Apparently doctors don’t even know what’s causing rosacea. On women symptoms are better but on man it’s really a very annoying disease, make you look like a monke on heat.

            nah should tell him it’s some chinese cream that could cure yeet hei. create fake whatsapp video saying how good it is, and use a second wasapp account to forward it to me before i forward to him. now he will believe me, now that the information is officially a wasapp disseminated fake news.

      I had a millipede infestation at one point too, although they are harmless to mature plants, I noticed that I wasn’t able to germinate any seeds when they were around. I believe they eat sensitive seedlings (though maybe larger seedlings will be ok)

        Hmm, yeah they do chomp on those too, since seedling is softened it’vs easier to be eaten. But i usually just germinate in the tray before transplant so i didn’t have this problem.

            Well they did a terrible job then, still a lot of weed in my garden lol

            But i appreciate their existence, i like having a healthy ecosystem within the garden, used to be pretty dead just after development.

    Heard the Nijigen Expo artist alleys didn’t do very well?

    I was fairly busy on Saturday so I couldn’t attend. I did consider going on Sunday but when I saw the admission price, I just noped. I can understand the pricing, looking at the guests they brought in. But as someone who’s only interested in artist alleys, it’s too pricey!

    CAFKL remains my favorite artist alley event.

      I think most people who went were cosplayers and people who went for the guests. The price is just too crazy. The previous Nijigen at bukit jalil was much cheaper.

      I got pretty good hauls at the previous Nijigen and road to animangaki so I’m satisfied for now haha. Gotta zip my wallet tight anyway ><
