My thoughts

Okie.. actually was quite tired.. but still wished to blog before i go to lala land.

Have you actually saw this ad on Dove campaign for real beauty? I did. A few times. On the bus mostly. Anyway, it's kinda interesting to note that this campaign is not one of those health promotion board ideas. It's about how people or women perceive about beauty. I was shocked to know that Singaporeans feel that they are not beautiful. It was on the news and statistics show that Singaporean women is second least rank for not being praise beautiful.

Sheesh, I guess women are being very realistic and too much of media influence on how beauty is define. Truly but sadly. I believe that many girls feel that they are not pretty or they are too fat. Or sometimes like myself feels that i am too flat. But after seeing that ad. What do you think: Flat or Flattering? I find myself being flattering instead. What's wrong of being not that busty? I believe i still look great. It all goes down to body proportion. I'm kinda on the slim side, so there isn't much fats in my body. Or should i say i have a great metabolism that makes me feeling hungry soon after a heavy meal. Shouldn't that be something to be glad about? I'm sure people are envious for the fact that no matter how much i eat, i'm still the same size.

I guess people just has to be contented with themselves. Of cos being females, we tend to compare with others. And usually we end up comparing with people that are better than us. We should count ourselve lucky that we have a healthy body without any disability. How about you loooking fabulous but deaf? You may feel that people judge by appearance. But It's just as important how you feel about yourself that makes the difference.

I truly believe in inner beauty. I have encounter many friends trying to lose weight by eating less or going for slimming pills. I know how media created a norm that fat equals ugly. But i think likewise. As long as you have a great personality and character, you are beautiful. I constantly remind myself to compliment all my girlfriends once in awhile. It's just so nice hearing someone complimenting you, don't you think so? So please, compliment people around you. I'm sure you will brighten someone's day.. =)
