050429 1.jpg

I have lost 5 kg and now my body weight is down to 58.5 kg (129 pounds).

This image was also intended as some sort of joke: many people nowadays consider it very cool to be pierced or to wear bling jewellery. And many people like to shave their heads. Some people even like to do "Branding" (also called "Scarification"). I have to admit it: that's coolnes driven to its extremest limit, isn't it?

Well, I am also "pierced": I have a Port-A-Cath!
I also wear bling jewellery: look at the nice plastic hangy-thingy dangling from my Port!
And of course, I am following the latest trend in metrosexual hair-style: my head is shaved bald.
And I am following the trend of Branding: my body is now so full of scars (from cortisone acne), it looks like some crazy painter spattered white and red dots with a 5-10 mm diameter on it.

No, really, all jokes aside. It's strange to see what people are doing of their own free will.

I have no choice really, but I guess that piercings, bling jewellery and a shaved head are not really what I would do to me on my own free will. Let alone scarification.

But OK, to everybody his/her own:-)
