Unpolished

"The beauty of a women is not on the clothes she wears, nor is it in her face or the way she does her hair. The beauty of a women resides in her eyes, the door to her heart, the door where love resides. And it often through her tears you see her heart go by..."

I may not be pretty. Yes I know, I have lots of pimples and may not have the perfect flawless skin like many other girls do. I know, I do not have a perfect straight set of teeth. Yes, I know I am fat and I do not have the perfect slim body. However, I don’t think it gives anyone any right to comment or say things that hurt.

Tell me what right you even have, to comment or say anything when you are bless with a perfect flawless skin, a perfect set of teeth and perfect slim body. You have no idea the amount of insecurity, sarcasm and criticism girls like me have to deal. And it’s because of people like you, makes girls like me hate themselves and have low self esteem.

I am not going to lie and say it doesn’t hurt. Because as much as I have long overcome that period of low self-esteem, it still hurts the same. If I hated myself because of the way I look when I was younger, I have learned to appreciate and love the way I look now.
What saddens me is because girls like you who are blessed with outlook beauty, who gets lots of attention from guys, lose and forget yourself. You let it get into your head and take over you. You get yourself involve with every single guy and blame them when things go wrong. You forget and misuse the word love because you think you have it easy.

Yes, I know I am not beautiful like you. But I’m glad I was born the way I was because I grew so much from it. I am stronger from all the criticism and became much more independent because I don’t need a guy’s approval to justify my beauty. I’ve seen how many girls like you crumble just to satisfy the guys. I’ve seen how many submit to the men when the men starts sweet talking, that only to bring to their downfall. I’m thankful that I see all this so I don’t fall into any of this trap and I got my looks to thank.

I’m glad for my ugly looks because at least i know what it feels like not having a pretty face. So at least when someone who feels herself like the way I do with regards to looks, I know what to say n what to do and be more sensitive because I been thru that situation. But can you? Never because as much as you try or say you do, you never will because firstly you don’t go through such situation before and secondly, you are too caught up with your own ‘beauty’ to feel for others. So yes, you maybe right about no guy would want to pay any attention to an ugly fat girl. As much as I’m sadden by the harsh reality that looks are important not only to the opposite sex but also in the society, I am even sadder for you because even though you have the outlook beauty, you still have to rely on the attention you get from guys to start believing and loving yourself.

You know, I have heard millions of name-calling and had millions of insults directed into my face about my looks since I was young. I have come a long way in building up my confidence level and self-esteem. I have come a long way in appreciating and loving the way I look now. So not you, not your words, not them, not anyone can put me down just like that. But I say, I must thank you for reminding me and keeping me in check and not let anything get over my head. For that, I will also pray hard for you that one day you’ll wake up to your senses and realize that beauty isn’t just about having the looks.

Anyway, dance floor was a huge disappointment. Something is just so wrong with the entire show. From the host to the camera angle, to the song choices, to the voting format, to the judges, everything seems wrong. The show seems to be lacking the certain umph and I can’t quite figure what. I don’t think it’s fair that the judge gets to decide who leaves the competition because then soul fusion fans will only get complacent knowing that even if their group ends in the bottom three yet again, the judge will be there to save them. Not that I have anything against them, but I just feel that those technical groups seems to be giving the same 180 degrees turn, the same footwork, the same splits, the same everything that it gets ihaveseenthismove.

And now, one of the best groups left (in my opionion) is out. Just great, I was banking my votes on either J.D.I or SFB. Although they may not be technically good with all the splits and turns and whatever the other groups may be good at but they have this certain rawness and unpolish quality in which I believe when polished, they will surpass the others. Now SFB is out. I guess it's on J.D.I now?
