am i the only one feels its hard being a woman? i mean seriously.. everyday i'm being bombarded with media madness, from magazines, tv, radio, internet, women on the street...
the quest to be FAIR SKIN to a point of looking like a ghost. shit even a corpse has more color. the fairer you're the more beautiful you supposed to be. there are so many whitening product out there that you can loss your senses. every time i step into a pharmacy, i will be approached by high strung promoters, when all i needed to buy was box of tampon. shit we all can't be white and on that note, i have no desire to be looking like the underside of a fish. yeah kiss my all time tan ass.
oh i was at the pharmacy today and one of them actually told me i should buy a particular lotion that will *brightened* my nipples (yes, she was whispering to me and i'm sure she meant aureole) to pink. i'm like uhh why do i need that for.. and ever so confident, she said.. cuz it looks pretty. i asked her, how do you know if i don't have pink nipples, have you seen it? with that i walk away...
the quest to be SKINNY. everyday when i open up the paper i see weight loss promotions. 10 session for $388.. hmmm very tempting but you know once you step into that hell saloon, you end up paying 1grand more and none the skinnier. i was at the traffic light waiting for it to turn green when a fitness promoter approached me and pass me a pamphlet. if looks can kill she be dead on the spot. shit, i marched my 85kg ass to burger king and have me a king's meal.
just the other day, my colleague told me she bought one of those magic lotion where you simply applied to the problem area consistently and by miracle you will loose couple of inch by end month (i'm sure the direction include not eating.. grrr). now she only 24 yrs old, weight about 50kg, when i asked her why she bought it, she simply point to her tummy (which was non existent from where i'm standing) and said.. I have fats. i have to walk away for fear of strangling her fragile neck.
it doesn't help at work i'm seated with clustered of women who whines about weight on a daily routine when the only fat is probably in their head. i imagine tying them up to a pole and feeding till they put on an extra 30kg and i let them loose... sigh.
i'm at an age where losing weight is not easy (and yes, i know exercise helps, trust me.. i'm getting there.. slowly). but i never considered myself to be fat, but when i'm being surrounded by these women, i can't help but resents them. i can't escape they EVERYWHERE!!!
gawddd i'm thinking of donuts with mint latte right now... (yeah i'm piss today).

Hi Gigi,
I like your new style here.
Yeah, it's not easy to be a woman. But it's a little easier for me because I'm not approached by crazy people selling snake oil for this and that. Incredible. There should be laws against this.
If I just avoid the television and magazines, I can be pretty happy. My coworkers don't talk about their weight that much.
hey diedra...
lucky you not surrounded by weight conscious colleages. they do drive me nutz at times..
