Trends change. For a time, people thought the synthetics were the best. But the trend shifted to organics as people learned eventually the superior benefits. For a time, people thought Plastic Surgery would be enough to magically present oneself as beautiful. But people eventually realized it isn't really wise to be deluded that Plastic Surgery even had the last word. What if you married what you thought was a pretty girl but only to find out that your child would look like her original face? Imagine how fast you would shriek and run away from the nursery upon seeing the baby's face.
For the past decade, the Philippines & the rest of Southeast Asia were awashed with heavy propaganda that sought to reengineer our beauty standards in a "certain" Asian, unpopular up to now, way. Never mind the heavy industrial-scale plastic surgical intervention. The Philippine showbiz & mass media was ground zero. It was really unfortunate that the so-called South Korean wave, the battering ram of the propaganda attack, has been fading all over, even in the Mongoloid space. Back to Square One, the propaganda was a joke. Expectedly, the investors will stage a last-ditch stand so expect a heavier propaganda drive heretofore. If you were watchful, it has already started.
Of course, we expect it to end the same way. I can confirm because I and my friends grew up subjected to its mostly hilarious machinations. Beauty is not forced, it is felt. More importantly, you were supposed not to laugh in front of great beauty.
Natural is always good. Asians will be truly beautiful if they just be honest & face what they see in the mirror. Accept themselves, never mind if they became the standard or not because it's clear they never will. So no shrieks of terror will rip through the night in the right moments that count.

Very honest. But yeah I agree they shouldn't even had to try because it was all so ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteI have the right words. BWA HA HAH HAAAA
ReplyDeleteFrankly they should be glad may Asian na maganda, ang Pinoy... bat nakikihalo pa sila, nasisira lang ang view?
ReplyDeleteThis is entertaining. Saan nila napulot they were even in the running as far beauty is concerned? Ask the Africans kung payag sila
DeleteActually I find it an insult that they could even think they can fool us into seeing them as somebody opposite to what they actually are. Ang baba ng tingin sa atin, ang taas ng ilusyon sa sarili. Where in the world ba have they become standards of beauty? Only in their countries
ReplyDeleteKahit paano mas "pogi" ng konti si Ban Kim Moon Kay Lee Myung bak. Tapyasin lang panga niya tapos kortehan mata niya pwede na. Malakilaking trabaho kelangan kay Lee
ReplyDeleteMalaki overhaul kelangan ni Kim Jong Un
ReplyDeleteI just hope di darating ang araw na hahanapan ng magjowa ang isa't-isa ng kanilang younger pictures at busisiin talaga kung may nagbago. Baka maging grounds pa ng legal separation ang falsification of face
ReplyDeleteDapat lang grounds for separation ang face falsification kasi panloloko yan. Dapat may honesty isat-isa pagpapakita ng true faces nila para kung anuman lumabas na mukha ng anak nila ay di sila mabaliw sa disappointment
