i got the bg of this site from blogskins.com.. i like it cause it looks so girly which is so me and it’s color black, which from what i know is more eco friendly.. but i was really reluctant to download it cause it was titled “lost in beauty” which really doesn’t mean anything to me.. it got me thinking though, what is beauty for me??
i know some of the girls my age tend to be so concerned or worse brag about how pretty their faces are, how attractive their bodies are, how cute are the clothes they wear, etc. and unfortunately, i was once like that.. can u blame us?? in every magazine or in every tv program they show us their definition of what’s beautiful.. Great hair, slim body, clear skin, nice clothes, and who doesn’t want to have that?? truth is, everybody has one or two of the criteria created for us that identifies who’s beautiful and who’s not, but we can’t have it all.. everybody has flaws.. yes, even those goddess-looking models have flaws and insecurities.. and if we are not contented with what we have we tend to look at the other girls who seem to have it all and be envious..
it’s a shame that somehow women (or even men) are measured by their physical attributes.. it’s easy to detect who has the less self-esteem and fall into the trap of going along with the norms.. these are the people who constantly feel the urge to prove themselves to others.. but hey, there’s nothing wrong with wanting to look good and presentable.. as long as we don’t forget that who we are can never be confined in the description of how we look or what we wear.. i hope girls like me would never allow anyone or anything tell them how much their worth is based on other’s perspective.. what really counts is the way we feel about ourselves.. what matters the most is the person under all the fabulous clothes and make-up.. there is always more in a person beyond his/her looks.. having said that, may we never get lost in beauty..
p.s. i just have thought id have to put my two cents in.. nevertheless, obviously im keeping the bg.. ahaha.. it's cute anyways..
The beauty exposed;

i still cannot believe i just clicked the control button that will post this non-sense. i have been reading and hopping from one blog to another ever since my high school life officially ended. i have been wanting to make my own too long ago that i couldn’t even remember when was the first time i considered the idea of making one.. and still am concern in a lot of things involving me being a blogger. did I actually call myself a blogger?? huwatt?? but as i’ve mentioned i still believe i don’t have what it takes to be called a “sensible blogger” due to the things such as:
i’m no celebrity.. i barely have no talent to entertain people(oh humble pie..hehe..).. my parents aren’t famous athletes or lawyers or anybody that has a huge value in the society (don’t get me wrong i super love em)..
i don’t go to a fancy school wherein when people will hear u go there they’ll be like, “oh, she must be smart and/or rich”. Haha.. seriously, im just a simple citizen of the two countries i love.. (and that’s another topic)..
im young and i believe at 17 there are lot of things to learn. i couldn’t actually write that its better to do this or that when i didn’t actually experience much in this life.. i believe i’m so juvenile and i’m loving it..
i don’t travel a lot..i don’t have pictures to show you beautiful places.. i would like to put the blame on my age cause again, i’m still a minor..and plus, when you’re in college, you don’t spend money and time on traveling.. that treat comes after graduation..
i don’t have an exciting job that i can boast about.. i’m not even allowed to work while i’m studying.. i can’t write anything about life and people you meet at work..
i don’t have a lovelife..yet..haha..i don’t have any kilig stories at the moment..
the bright side?? i can write it all here as those precious moments finally unfold.. i want to keep this blog for a long time.. i can’t promise to those of you who loves me so much to make time to read this “piece of me”.. all i have is my love for writing (i just hope writing would love me back) and this oh so simple lifestyle of mine to share with you..
now i’m getting too “ek-ek”..i’m just so proud of my new found bravery..
*ek-ek is my jologs term of dramatic.. credits: thanks to ate nadz for making this site..i love her..
