Finally! Finished
watching The Heirs. All the casts are so good-looking. And I wonder how many of
them undergone plastic surgery? Love the pairing of Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye, two of my favourite Korean casts.
My girl
watched a few episodes with me and asked why are all these people so handsome
and beautiful?
I remember
she once came home from school and told me that she didn’t like her big nose.
Obviously someone must have pointed it out at her. One of her friends, told Eryn
that Eryn’s good in everything and she’s lousy. Another friend told her that Eryn
is a nice, cheerful girl, while she is quiet and unknown.
My little
girl has this special gift in telling people to accept their imperfections and
to improve themselves where they can – in their studies, in their sports, in
their writing.
My little
girl has grown. Like most little girls, she loves all things pink and pretty.
She knows that imperfection causes insecurity. I hope she continues to be an
inspiration to others just like how she is now.
She knows that some issues like being obese, not by birth, but by diet and lifestyle, is a flaw. Or that, having an ugly heart, is a flaw. Or being a bully, is a flaw. And it is because issues like this are based on the progress on one's lifestyle, upbringing, attitude, and character of that person. And that, is what real imperfections is all about.

I was born
average-looking. And have been called by people that I have panda eyes, stick-out
ears, serious-looking, bittergourd face, ugly eyebrows and I don’t even know
what else. I never felt that I was imperfect until these were all pointed out
to me. But I’ve come to terms with my
imperfections, acne scars, wrinkles and all, I think.
In one
particular part-time job I took up, my superior at that time loved to pick on
the way I dress. “You’re too old-fashioned”, “You should put on more make-up to
meet clients”, “You need to be a little bit more dressy and wear some
jeweleries”. I tried all that. But now, I wear what I want, without my accessories
most of the time, unless I have important meetings or special functions. The only thing I still carry on
is having my make-up on in meeting clients.
Yes, I do
feel imperfect still. And thus, a little make-up that brings colour to my face
and certain clothes help ‘enhance’ my appearance when I meet bosses. Despite my
imperfections, my friends are still my friends. My clients are much
appreciative of what is in my brains than what is physical. I don’t think
anyone has run away from me because of the way I look.
Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.

Be your own kind of beautiful. Afterall, we're all beautiful.
