Friday, October 07, 2005 || What exactly makes someone pretty?
- Random stuff:
Today was such a lovely day! *dances around*
Why was it lovely? Because, it was nice, relaxing and enjoyable at the same time. Plus, I had enough sleep ... So, bliss!
And oh, Jaclyn, my best friend and partner-in-crime, got 'inspired' and decided to take up blogging. We've started a new blog together, and our new blog's called unfucking the world. Uh ... Well, once upon a time, the both of us bought the same t-shirt with those words printed on it, so we decided that it best represents 'us'. O_o
Visit it here, if you want, though it's not entirely up yet. I'll be blogging there as well, I guess, just for a change of surroundings. I love writing anyway. I've even invited Mun Yee, our good friend, to join in the fun, for she's a pretty good blogger in her private xanga, but not sure if she'll go for it. :P

Today's topic is ...
*drumroll*
Erm. No lar. Just playing. =P
Liz wonders what exactly makes a girl pretty
Okay. So I get a lot of crap from my guy friends, telling me that girls have bad tastes in girls, and that most of the girls that we think are pretty, they disagree. And vice-versa.
Maybe its because for most of us girls, we tend to focus more on personality and the face, but guys have eyes for, uh, boobs and asses.
(psst ... I have big boobs! *lies through teeth*)
So, the Wise Liz has decided to tackle this issue
For example.
I personally think that Jaclyn looks great and girly here. (I'm in no way trying to imply that she's usually very *coughs* tomboyish. Really. *coughs*) Of course, she doesn't seem to think so. :(
Such nice, long straight hair. Such a sincere smile, glowing with radiance and displaying even, sparkly white teeth.
What do you think, guys?
(Imaginary male readers: "Wahhhh ... Liz has great taste!")
NO, you wont!
And as for myself, I personally feel that I look pretty in these pictures, which were taken two weeks back. (Just to prove to Wen Che that I don't camwhore everyday :P)
*Chubby Lizzy decides to chuck her conscious away, and continue living in self-denial, even though the whole male and female population may disagree*
Such
(Imaginary crowd: *fuuuu weeeeet* Lizzy's my goddess!)
*continues living in self-denial*
I'm not here to pimp Jaclyn, or me. Really.
See, beauty is such an ambiguous and fragile word.
Everybody female in the world wants to be as beautiful as Lizzy Angelina Jolie.
Sorry to all Jennifer Aniston fans out there ... I still think that Angelina Jolie's the best. <3
But really, what IS the definition of beauty? Eyes? Height? Big boobs?
The thing is, I truly believe that there is no true definition of beauty. That's why we all crave it. Heck, even men crave beauty.
I think that chubby faces, big noses and fat bodies (hey .. sounds familiar. Eek.) is beautiful. Would anyone dare contradict me, and insist to my face that my personal view of beauty is 'wrong'?
And even if anybody did beg to differ, what makes you think that my mind'd be changed so easily? Beauty is subjective. I'm allowed to think that everyone is beautiful, even when they're not, if I choose to.
Whoever who set the standards for beauty is an ass.
I personally feel that a girl (or a guy, for that matter ... ) is beautiful and pretty, when he/she is being true to themselves, and not compromising their standards and personalities to suit other people's needs. Hey, everybody is pretty, when they smile. =) At least I think so.
I've had friends who critisize each other to no end, behind each other's backs. And yes, truth be told, I have participated in these pointless bitchings myself. It just feels enjoyable, discussing other people's negative sides with your friends, doesn't it?
But when it happened that I was the one who was being discussed ... It didn't feel so nice anymore. :D
Wanna know what I think? Screw being pretty.
Girls put on make up, diet and try their best to look good all the time, because they want to be noticed by guys. We want to feel wanted.
Hell, why not put on make up, diet and look good for yourselves? I'm pretty sure that everybody loves somebody who's confident, sassy and loves herself. *sneezes* Like me.*sneezes*
It's harder than what people think, being a girl. It really is. Not only do we want to look good ... we want to feel good, too.
And with the emergings of all these hot, sweaty guys with six packs, I guess even being a guy is pretty stressful as well. LOL.
Big deal. Everybody's supposed to have their own views of beauty anyway. And if you don't, and only appreciate beauty that's on the pages of fashion magazines... *shrugs* I'm not too bothered.
I'm perasan, loud-mouthed and pretty tom-boyish. Yup, I'll gladly admit that I'm not perfect, and just like everybody else, I have flaws. Even though I still think that I'm the best. :P
But despite all my obvious flaws, like my chubby face and big nose ... Does that mean that I don't think that I'm pretty?
NOPE.
I still think that I am. :P So sue me.
Of course, I have this deep, sinking feeling in my gut that tells me that I'm about to be proven wrong ...
.....

*screams in terror and runs away*
Despite my
*sniff sniff*
Being pretty is not important.
Edited: By the way, while we're at it, why not you tell me what do YOU think makes a girl, or a guy (X_x) pretty,
