BLACK and WHITE

Saturday, May 5th, 2007

Ohh this is just another crazy thoughts thats been hovering around my mind which bothers me alot. Well, lately I dont really like looking at my face in the mirror because it gives me a little ounce of depression lang naman, not totally becoming a full-blown disorder. Anyway, this is about actually concerning my physical appearance, I feel and look so ugly now than way before in my own honest observation. 

Perhaps this could be traced after I concluded our Red Cross Seminar on Water safety which involved swimming activities. Although I had so much learning that day, I also devoloped skin darkening. Haha. Even though its just a simple problem, I cant deny it that sometimes it lowers my self esteem. I guess this brings us to the concept that " ALL FILIPINO's WANT TO BE WHITE".

I never dreamed to be white, I just want is a clear-fair-light complexion so trying to pursuit that I was lured to use papaya soaps and lotions that claimed to lighten the skin. However, since college siguro I used gallons of lotions still there's no realistic result but even more worst. Hahaha.  


Maybe its the influence of media na siguro, they always portray that black is ugly and white is pretty like one commercial says if your white, you shine. Maraming mga whitening products kahit saan. Hahaha. 

Another crazy thought, goodnight.

hahahaha… that’s a crazy thought but there’s nothing wrong with wanting to have fairer, clearer complexion.. there are a lot of products in the market that works.. it is only a matter of finding what is “hiyang” for you…

We have this colonial mentality kasi talaga, Mark. And yung white is beautiful. Looking at you (sa friendster), you look good nga! Kaya don’t dream of becoming fair complexioned kasi mas bagay sayo moreno, kapatid, ok? :)

Love yourself just the way you are :)

Hahaha! Don’t you know that people here in the states will drool over your complexion? Here in the US, fair is not beautiful. They always love our complexion here. They don’t call us “Dark” here, they will always say: “I love your tan!” My colleagues here had a blast when I told them that people in the philippines always uses an umbrella not only when it’s raining, but as well as to protect themselves against the rays of the sun.And they thought I was joking when I said they bleached their skin for the effect of a lighter complexion.Don’t worry about it.And you’ll always get fairer come winter time. You’ll probably end up going to a tanning salon. LOL
