My controversial brain juice is running dry therefore the influx of nonsensical rants in recent days. But since my Mid-Years are over and I do have hours at end to waste and grieve over my less-than-stellar grades, I thought I’d take the opportunity to do a bit of mindless writing and scribbles.

Beauty.
They say that beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. I’d certainly agree with that fact but on the other hand, true beauty lies within. I’ll not debate on the context of how beautiful the scenery, object or creations of the world is. This one’s about the ‘beauty’ in people.

Call me bias or narrow minded. But in my own assumption, the more (supposedly) beautiful a person is, the more manipulative and conniving that bitch or bastard may be. Of course not all good looking people are that bad.. But here’s my argument:
In a superficial society which places great emphasis on looks, these good looking people do get the perks in life. Because of that, they may have the perception of having the ability to maneuver any situation in their favor, to get any guy or gal detected within their radar.

They start to treat others as mere insignificant figures and I think that underlines their true self. Beauty is superficial. You may be blessed with good looks, but so what?

If you’re the most wicked person around, you’re as ugly as my backside! Figure of speech of course.. I like my butt just fine! So small and perky HAHAHA (We'll save that for another blog post, shall we? Don't get me started on my butt, or lack thereof)

True beauty really comes from within. Obviously, initial impression matters a lot when you meet someone for the first time and your immediate thought would be ‘Golly, He/She is cute’, if they are. But there are others, who might not have caught your fancy from the get-go but slowly become more beautiful in your sight as days go by and as you get to know each other better. There’s a special glow in people who are nice and therein lays true beauty.

To me, the most captivating aspect of a person is the smile. A picture speaks a thousand words they say.. and true to that, a single picture may draw a million point of views.. However, is the essential meaning conveyed? If you look at the picture of a person-smiling. There is the tendency to judge the appearance first before even genuinely looking at the focus of the picture. I don’t know if its just me, but there’s this thing you can tell about a person through their smiles..

Cam-whore ethics aside.. their personality seeps through that single smile on the photo. Take a look at any of your friend’s photos now and you might get what I mean.
We cannot deny the fact that we’re naturally drawn to the better looking people and all of us have the want of having a ‘hot other half’.

But let us be realistic.. would you want the hottest girl ever, and have every other guy checking her out..? And whose personality defines her as a true bitch?
Same question for the girls.. just change that to guys and bastard LOL.

In my humble opinion, personality and character (of the girl) would play a huge part in determining who I’d end up with.. it’d be somewhat a ‘bonus’ if she was pretty. But see that’s the thing.. if you are nice AND good-looking. That’s something special. 'Nice-ness' first before the looks part comes in..Hey, even if you’re not in the category of popular or good looking (I feel you cos im obviously not myself.. I'm president of the NO-LIFERS Club! How’s that for status. HAHAHA)

Don't ever feel inferior. Search deep within you and bring out that glow.. Cos that truly is.. beauty!
If you believe and stay true to yourself..And if you’re really genuinely nice..
You’re already beautiful without knowing it! :)

Disclaimer: I'm not ranting because I've been unjustly treated by better-lookers. Nope, nothing of that sort. I'm more than able to protect myself HAHA. 3-step Defence Mechanism: First, Burn them with your caustic wit. Next, turn violent and thrash the living daylights out of them. If all else fails, run and don't look back! =p
