Perceptions..

It's my favourite time of the year again.. Yeah right... Ok so the exams are coming and here I am wasting my time away blogging. Fine, I will hit the books as soon as this entry is complete. By the way, if you haven't yet noticed, I've got a new look to the blog. I'm loving it right now. What do you think?
Anyway my topic for the day was inspired quite some weeks ago, but I've only just had the time to type it out. Anybody watched America's Next Top Model (ANTM) - Cycle 4? Well, I did. And I've a new found idol. Kahlen Rondot! Some weeks ago (perhaps 3), my sis and I were watching ANTM. We pretty much concluded that Kahlen is the best out of the lot. Then my sis went on to say,"I think I know why you like Kahlen most of all. Coz isn't a perfect, flawless beauty. Rather she is more down to earth, like the girl next door."

I agreed with her in the beginning, but then I got to thinking: Is that really so?

Nah, not really at least. I actually think she is perfect (though Angelina Jolie is still unbeatable). I guess, to me perfection is seeing beauty in what others may deem as 'flaws'. Sounds right. But then again, something doesn't seem quite right here.. Wait let me see how I could rephrase this..

Ah right.. Ok. I think I've just about got it. Let's see... Perfection, to me, is a Perception.

It's not all that confusing. You see, these proverbs about beauty lying in the eye of the beholder and how one man's meat is another man's poison, is all absolutely, undoubtedly true. As much as this sounds cliche, surface beauty doesn't count for much. I often find myself changing perceptions of a person overnight. One day I could be looking at this person without much interest. But as soon as they show this special something from within, then 'poof!' they've suddenly turned into a really pretty someone, inside and out.

Don't get me wrong, I am no saint. I do like to look at surface beauty too. Just so that it can appease my appetite for some eye-candy. *wink* But honestly, surface beauty just doesn't hold my interest for long. Now take Christina in ANTM4 (she's the fifth one to get eliminated). She's pretty all right; but I just never saw that spark in her. Pretty much why the judges eliminated her I suppose. It was only in the week that she was eliminated and when I saw some behind the scenes shots of her, that I began to think: Hey, that girl is really pretty too.. Pity that she was kicked out.

This has been a pretty bimbotic entry I suppose.. But heck! What the hell.. I'm going into hibernation soon anyway. Might as well get a wee bit crazy right now before I start digging my little warmth hole. Anyway, by the time I emerge again, you guys would probably have already forgotten this whole bimbotic entry.. On a less bimbotic note, Perfection is very much a Perception. And I believe it's time I start keeping that in mind; if you know what I mean.. Au revoir for now my fellow Aliens..
