i have a date tonight.  but my face terribly needs an overhaul.

ang diamond peel ay nagkakahalaga ng 3,000 pesos sa isang session.  kung aabot to ng 10 sessions (which is the case as of this moment), ang total financial damage ay 30k.  yikes!  thats too much.

meron syang punto, but it doesn't mean she's entirely correct.  sa paglilibot ko sa gabi, marami akong nakita at nakilala na punong-puno ng super-facial-ity.  na sa unang tingin, they're attractive, hot.  pero pagnakasama mo na, hollow.  parang puro icing lang, wlang laman.

meron din naman akong nakasama na talented, artistic, deep thinkers.  but, maybe due to arrogance, naglagi sila sa mundo nila.  pinabayaan ang sarili.  at kung titignan mo, ang hitsura nila ay isang malaking babala na wag mong subukang mapalapit.

maraming nag-iisip na masama na gamitin ang kapangyarihan ng imahe.  but this kind of power (image) like any other (mind, money, etc.) is not right or wrong, the intention of the person usually is.  kung may produkto ka na pinaniniwalaan mong para sa ikakabuti ng maraming tao, babalutan mo ba ito ng tae?  certainly not.  you would carefully and artistically package it, then you advertise.

but let the wrapper only be a projection of the gift, because when one solely focus on the wrapper itself, one commits the sin of vanity.  maganda ngang tignan, pero wla nmang halaga ang laman.
