Mind Ramble of the Day: Getting a “Look Job”

It seems that my freshman year became the ultimate makeover of all. Back in grade school, I was fashion’s worst nightmare. I hated wearing my hair down and I was chubbier than I was now. Unlike my schoolmates who started to talk about style and the “ins” of the year, I was thinking only of nothing but creative writing and reading. Everyday my school look was a ponytail with messy bangs sprawling on my forehead and round, fat glasses. If now I always smile, back then I rarely ever smiled. Talk about being a girl who used to hate makeovers.

Then when I entered HS it all changed. Haircuts were at least after 5 months. I changed my hairstyle from time to time. My eyeglasses changed from round fat to solid square. Now I cared not only my interests but also my social life. So that’s how time goes. Do you know why I entitled this post as “look job”? Having a look job means having an extreme makeover of your features, style, and your personality. It makes you from boring to fab. We all love having makeovers as long as it would change us for the better. In my opinion having a look job will range from haircuts to plastic surgery. Aha! Plastic surgery is one of my plans in order to have a slim figure, a quirky nose, and a gorgeous face. Every person has a wish to look like the seemingly perfect celebrities who we think never get acne and cellulite that we want to change our looks. So call a respected cosmetic surgeon like Dra. Belo, whip up your money savings, and get your desired plastic surgery! Then after a week, everybody will compliment how pretty you are, get those opportunities of a lifetime, and be happy with who you are forever. And that’s how a look job would work for most of us.

It was always my dream to be called “pretty”. Deep inside me, I always think that I am ugly with the looks I have. But it lightens me up whenever someone compliments me that I am cute! From the reco letters to the compliments of my schoolmates, they called me pretty cute but never gorgeous. Oh well, at least someone said that I am beautiful inside and out. Besides, not all of us were blessed to be called by these names. Let the light shine! Haha.

All of us are beautiful in our own ways. Whether it is with our looks or our personality, we’re ALL beautiful. But not all of us haven’t realized it yet. Even me. Until now I get sad whenever I see female kid celebs especially ranging from 10-12 yrs. old. Whenever I see them on TV, I always feel a sense of envy because they get those acting opportunities and get famous while I’ll be stuck as a regular girl in an infinite time. My mind is always saying “I wanna have plastic surgery!” but the time hasn’t come yet. The dream might fade in the future because I’m still at the beginning of teenhood and I still have a lot way to change my appearance. No wonder, I might be slimmer, taller, and (sigh) prettier. In positive thinking, my dream of being a Candy covergirl won’t die if I work for the COC soon (I’m going to audition there so wish me luck) and star in a leading role either in a highly-hyped stage play if I have the time and chance.
