It is my desire to become a researcher/scientist in the biomedical field. However, I do not wish to settle with that alone. After months of experience as a budding researcher, I realized that, in order to "hoard" money, a scientist must learn how to do business. A scientist will never get rich if she crouches inside her laboratory, 24-7. Knowledge needs to flow out so the cash keeps coming in. I want to venture into pharmaceuticals so that I can throw free medicine to my deprived countrymen.
A friend of mine suggested a couple of months ago, that, if I really want to become a scientist/businesswoman in the biomedical field, I must, as early as now, learn business by perhaps, selling cosmetics. I realized that I will not be able to do that not until I get my hair and body polished. I have estimated that I need at least two years considering the rate at which my teeth will realign. Uneven pigmentation is also a problem because I'm currently doing agricultural researches and I cannot help but get exposed in the blazing heat once in a while. To top all these, however, the main trouble is the fact that I do not know how to use cosmetics. @___@
How can a woman sell cosmetics if she doesn't know how to use them? I will probably be frequented with questions like, "how should I apply this?" "what is the best product?" "are you sure your product works?" or "have you tried other products?"
Four months ago, I started practising. One dreary Saturday afternoon, I went to a local shopping mall and scouted for a compact powder. I purchased the one with SPF 15. Although the tone was a bit darker, I continued to use it because condemning it was tantamount to throwing away two movie tickets and one big pack of fish crackers. Dear Fate probably pitied me. "Why on earth does this woman wear a darker powder?" And so a week after, while I was walking and hurrying to work, the press powder suddenly fell on the concrete road. The powder cracked. End of story.
Two weeks later, I gave myself another chance. Once again, I went to a local shopping mall and preyed on another compact powder. Since the first was darker, this time, I bought another with a lighter shade. I refrained from purchasing the one with SPF because I was so frightened I might lose two movie tickets and a big pack of fish crackers again. Also, I bought the smallest one! In case the color would not suit me, I could throw it away unencumbered because it was just as cheap as one movie ticket. Indeed, the tone suited me well. Unfortunately, it was too small, I immediately consumed the powder in a span of two weeks! When I went to the same store again hoping to purchase a bigger one, the sales representive told me that they ran out of stock. I didn't have an option but to buy on another stall.
I chose the one with the label, "tan." When I rubbed it in my face and went to my sister's room to show it off, I colored purple when she started laughing, "hahaha. What happened to your face?" What happened to my face was the question that razored my head the entire night. Obviously, the color did not suit me again. Upon careful scrutiny, I realized that my skin is not "tan." It is yellowish-olive! I immediately condemned the powder and forgot about the movie tickets and the big pack of fish crackers.
I just wasn't giving up, however. A week after that, I went back to the vanity area and purchased a yellowish compact powder. The shade was perfect! However, I realized that I was getting more blitz than usual. Once again, I condemned the powder, thinking I was probably allergic to it. And so, right now, I'm using loose powder! @___@I am yet to scout for a hypoallergenic yellowish compact powder!
I learned a lot through trial and error (mostly error)! I will venture into pharmaceuticals one day; but I guess I still have to traverse an awfully lenghty cobbled walk.
(Good night best! )
