Simplicity is Beauty | Perfectly Imperfect

Another bad day. There's a storm here, it's been raining the whole day and it's so cold. But the thing that makes this day really bad is in the news. The headline: a coup in the country's financial district. The news is on the whole day. There are soldiers, guns, tanks and everyone is just so afraid. It's a good thing that I'm not there, I don't work there, I don't live there and any other way near there to witness all of that live! It has just been a month ago when the Glorietta Mall blast happened, then a bombing occured in the House of Representatives, and now this?! Wow...why do all of these things happen? Is it because of the government? Politics? Yes, politics...as always. Different views, different beliefs, and fighting for those things that they believe in without thinking of the innocent people that would get hurt in the process. I really don't get it. I don't understand...

When I was in high school, only a small percentage of female students wear make-up on their faces everyday, but now almost all girls starting the age of 14 wear make-up to school. Maybe because they think that wearing make-up will make them pretty. And maybe it's also because of what they see on tv, magazines, etc. that they think are pretty. Coming from a conservative culture and country, I'm so shocked with what is happening to young girls today (especially in my country). They don't only wear make-up, they also wear high heels, revealing clothes, and they think they're already adults. That is also why a lot of them engage in premarital sex and accidentally get pregnant these days.

I don't know what is happening, all I can say is, they all should enjoy their teens first. They'll eventually go to the next stage after that. They shouldn't hurry. And they don't have to wear make-up just to be pretty because all of us are beautiful in their own way, inside and out. Being simple and being yourself are the ones that count which makes you pretty and unique, not the chemicals you put on your face.
