Wollobo Day 1: Eligible Bachelors
Seriously, some guys have everything. The looks, the intellect, the academic brains and the cerebral talk that will make any girl go ga-ga.
Yes yes, I'm obviously jealous.
Jing Ting was letting me read Cleo (this girly magazine that has FIONA XIE in it waha) and there were the top 50 bachelors thing. That's where all this trash talk to coming from.
Okay, anyways, for the sake of my Creative Writing class, I'm beginning to practice and put into action some form of writing everyday, in hopes of attaining my vocabulary peak, and of course to brush up my less than adequate grammar. SO, I'm going to try my best to blog everyday. Yes, try. Hmm... let's call these next few weeks onwards Wollobo Days. Well "Wollobo" has no specific meaning, it just sounds cool with the many 'O's. Hahahaha such random crazy stuff..
If I was an eligible bachelor, I would have to change tons of things. And possibly not look anything like myself right now to attain that sort of social acme. Hanif can verify that very clearly. He reminds me constantly "Shan Yu, you're not good-looking enough," :] I don't harbour any resentment to him when he says that. I know my own physical limitations, and honestly, I'm very glad I'm not good-looking. Hanif is good-looking, and that's one fact I cannot disprove.
So yea, once in awhile, when I place myself on the seat of juxtaposition with guys who have it all, I do feel that sense of self-inferiority. But most of the time, I really don't care how people think about me. Maybe a few weeks ago I would be fretting about what to say and what to wear and what to do to get people to have good impressions about me, but now I've grown to accept myself. Change is imminent, but change cannot be deliberately made. You know? I could say your cup of milo will turn cold eventually, but you wouldn't add ice just to prove my point right? Because that's just stupid and everything. Yea.
And when I went home today from school, with my checked umbrella jerking consistently by the heavy landing raindrops, something Ryan told me a few years back suddenly popped into my mind.
It's not about getting what you want, it's about wanting what you've got.
And there it is, possibly one of the most amazing sentences ever thought of.
So eligible bachelor or not, handsome or ugly, fit or fat, it doesn't mean we have to conform. Because God made us all so different and so unique. Because the world is an imperfect place, with stereotypes and judgemental viewpoints and people who have bottomless repositories of needs and wants. Because you are you, and I am me.
Because He is super super amazing. =D
