I'm a hypocrite!

Well, the title says it all. I. AM. A. HYPOCRITE.

Lol, I've always despised how people put weight on beauty so much. I've even learnt in my Business Economics last semester that one of the reasons causing a wage differential is BEAUTY. Beautiful people gets better jobs and higher pay. There's even prove you know, in the form of percentage and numbers. If I remember correctly, it states in my text book that people who are above-average looking earn 5% more than average lookers and average looker earn 10% more than people who look less than average.

Well well, that's so "beauty racist"!!! Ok ok... a more appropriate word would be beauty discrimination. I bet no one except beautiful people likes this type of discrimination. I mean, what the hell? People out there, employers out there, so you're sure you're gonna hire only beautiful people or people who look good? You're sure? Think twice, Sires and Madames, think twice!

Anyways, today's topic is about hypocrites, not about beauty discrimination. What made me call myself a hypocrite? Well, because despite how I loathe people who discriminate by beauty, I sometimes do so too. XD Well, honestly you can't help it sometimes. *shrug innocently*

I'll give one example. Say, there are 2 people. Both are very talented and smart. But one of them is gorgeous-looking but the other one being just normal. Who would you like? Who would be more noticeable? You'd be deceiving if your answer's not the one who's better looking. Either you're deceiving, or you've a rather unique kind of thought.

So that's just how life is, ain't it? Having lived on this beautiful planet for nearly 2o years, I've learnt to accept the fact that life is truly not something you can manipulate completely. People change and different people has different kinds of mindsets.

Okay, I'm god damn sleepy now. In fact, I'm so groggy I'm not really sure what I'm typing. Hhmm... I hope I won't wake up tomorrow finding funny stuffs written on this post due to my sleepiness.

Good night.

It's the inner beauty that counts, right?

I actually planned to just abandon this blog since I don't have much time to update every so often. But today I just had that sudden feeling where I wanna sit in front of my netbook and start typing my feeling. Hhmm... That feeling actually faded away after I spent almost 1.5 hours tryna change my blog settings, design, about me etc. I can actually shout out on Twitter but doesn't it get on you sometimes at how limited we can type? I've got so much to say but Twitter doesn't allow me to! =( Ok ok cut the crap, moving on...

A few days ago, Tuesday specifically, our college gave a talk on what we can do after graduating from Diploma, they introduced us to the alternatives of different Advanced Diploma subjects and showed us some of the photoes of former Tarcians who made it big in education. Got prizes internationally, no. 1 in Malaysia bla bla bla. And... they looked like typical nerds, you know, like wearing spects, don't smile to the camera, sort of rabbit toothed etc etc. The host looking at the pictures said they looked "one-kind".

Just thought I'd share the typical "nerd" look. =P

Anyways, some of my friends started saying that I had the one-kind look too, and that I have the potential to be like one those people, achieving good results etc. And they started laughing like it's something really funny. I was like, what?! That means I'm ugly you mean! =(

And today, some aunty told my mom and I that my mom looks better than me. Later, my mom said that the aunty was kinda mean and straight forward, but she herself later on talked about how my eyes are small, nose is flat and mouth is big. Hhmm... Who's being mean now?

Well, that's 2 cases. I'm slightly offended. Well, who wouldn't? You're called "one-kind" and you're told not-pretty indirectly. I have a very fragile heart you know, *looking innocently*

But later I thought, why am I still offended? I mean, I've always knew I'm not those kind of beautiful girls. If anything, I've always considered myself less-than-average looking. Well ok, maybe average. I've always admitted this fact since secondary school. I really have no idea why I still get offended when I'm told the same fact now.

I mean, I can't change how I look. Well, maybe put on make-up or something. But what actually counts is the inner beauty right? XP Lol, I know that's what most people who are not good-looking say all the time, but THEY ARE TRUE, you know! >=)

If there're more people who are good, kind, helpful, have a loving heart instead of those obnoxious, snobbish, conceited, mean people, this world would be a much much better place...

PS I LOVE KEVJUMBA! Don't know him? Check out his Youtube channel then! =) www.youtube.com/kevjumba

I'd recommend the video "Awkward", "Most exciting job ever!", "FITNESS trainer!" and many more!

This was when he was around 18 years old, from his video "Peer pressure and bleached hair"

Ya... He took part in The Amazing Race when he was 20 years old, he didn't win though, sadly, =(. But he survived til the 7th leg, with his dad.

This was taken with his dad, called Papa Jumba (what the internet people call him, real name : Michael Wu) on the Amazing Race.

If I have time, I may write a post all about Kevjumba. X) Okay.. I admit, I'm kinda obsessed. He's my Youtube obsession. XP
