i had a talk with mom the other day.. she said her Pinay friends in Japan said that i look like a taiwainese.. Oh my Gulay! i am Pinay! and some friends of biBoink asked him if i was "instik" daw.. i am not uyy! maybe because my eyes are pa-cute when i smile! HAHA! my lola, "mama" has a chinese blood though.. her original middle name is - li chat ko.. basta uyy! maybe i got a little chinese-y blood from mama.. hehe! just like tita eyen and ate kaye who were also mistaken chinese in our family..
anyway.. speaking of beauty.. i read an article in a magazine.. a May 2003 issue of Preview about beauty.. it was not shocking at all.. it was like a bitaw-noh-tama-talaga article.. they were presenting how girls, ladies.. women conform with the society's definition of beauty.. how puti and payat is always.. uhmm.. will always be beautiful..
"being beautiful" is one of the most successful businesses in the industry.. every whitening, darkening, enhancing, softening, smoothening, toning, tweezing, waxing, bleaching, straightening, perming and so on and so on is very saleable.. women today, sacrificed a lot.. and still are sacrificing just to fit in to the standards..
according to the article, when you feel pain everytime you get your armpit waxed or your feet feels pain when you wear your 2-inch stilletos.. or even that simple ballet flats that is responsible for the marks and blisters that are very visible on both your foot.. it connotes suffering.. and many of us are suffering for the sake of beauty.. [ every girl had gone from beauty innocent to a beauty martyr - the exact words used in the magazine.. HAHA! so true! so true! ] ..additional kudos! i also agree that despite all the pain, blood and time it felt good.. because nobody is alone in this physical and mental suffering.. just to become B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L! most of us are guilty to be one talaga.. a very fine article! so cool.. i was able to read this because.. right now, i am busy doing my cut-outs for my cabinet doors - my SUMMER project! by the way it is almost finish..
anyhow.. i still believe that no matter how ugly an object is.. it is not actually ugly.. for any form it maybe, PERSPECTIVE can make it beautiful.. will make it beautiful.. for what is beauty for me may not always be beautiful to everybody.. and vice versa..
i am liking this song so much! ..listen and smile!
