.:The Ugly Truth About Beauty:.

Woman today are more like barbie then back in the day. They put more plastic in their body and adding more and more and never being satisfied with themselves. They want to be the perfect woman with the perfect job, perfect husband, perfect children, perfect house ect. and they dont understand perfection becomes boredem. These woman who we think is perfect arent they all are self concious about themselves. Supermodels become anorexic because they arnt happy with their body.

But its not the womans fault entirly its the media as well. We all remember Pamala Anderson. The perfect woman, blonde hair, big breasts, big butt, small stomach and that little red swim suit. But even then she wasnt happy she battled many things and finally accepted herself and knew she couldnt be perfect. Men today think oh if Pamala is like that any girl can be but thats not true. Her body was made by doctors and you can look like that but how much are you willing to pay? a few grand?

Woman arent the only ones affected by this, young girls are as well. My younger sister was becoming anorexic and came to me and told me that she felt fat because me and my sister and cousins are all skinner than her. I sat her down and calmly told her about how when she gets older and her body grows she will stretch out and be the same. She explains how she feels fat in her ballet class and doesnt understand how she is different. Her shows such as hanahh montana and icarly show these skinny girls and the fatter children are always there for humor. But she doesnt relieze that the girls on TV are not the age she thinks.

Statement that applies to myself....

"If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. If he doesnt want you, nothing can make him stay. Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior. Allow your intuition or spirit to save you from heartache. Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship thats not meant to be. Slower is better. Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy. If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve, then heck no, you can't "be friends." A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend. Dont settle if you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is. Don't stay because you think "it will get better." You'll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things arent better. The only person you can control in a relationship is you. Always have your own set of friends seperate from his. Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you. If something bothers you, speak up. Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later. You cannot change a man's behavior. Change comes from within. Don't ever make him feel like he is more important than you are...even if he has more education or in a better job. Do not make him into a quasi-god. He is a man, nothing more, nothing less. Never let a man define who you are. A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you...all men are not dogs. You shouldnt be the one doing all the bending...Compromise is a two way street. Deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship. You should never look for someone to complete you. A relationship consists of two whole individuals...look for someone complimentary. Dont fully commit to a man who doesnt give you everything you need." -unknown

This statement above helped me recently becuase I had gotten out of a four year realtionship. We had our ups and downs and we constantly didnt get along but at the end of the day we were fine. But enough was enough for both of us. We were the ideal relationship in our school becuase we were together for so long but we put on a show for the school, and our class. We constanly had aww arent you a cute couple. And we made it work as best we could and we recently ended in a month ago. And this statement helped me get through what i thought was a rough stage. I felt abandond and incomplete but then i recently met another guy who makes me laugh and smile and really happy and i take the advice above to see if it will help our relationship go along alot smoother.

My Trip to Paris

I went to Paris, France with my aunt and we had a good time. We took an international airplane and had to sit there for a long time. To ease the pain of sitting in one place to long we got to watch movies. I saw Fracture with Anthony Hopkins which was a great movie by the way :] After the plane we arrived in Paris and we got in a taxi, which by they way they dont drive like here. There are no speed limits there or so they said. We arrived at our hotel but my aunt didnt like the location. So we moved to this little five star hotel that was right on this market street. It was amazing. I got to see a lot of different people and different cultures. There were many different kinds of people there. English, Spanish, Dutch, Chinese, and they all had different qualities. While sitting on the balcony and watching these people mingle i would look down and below our balcony across the street there was this little Itilian restuarant, and every night he would blow me a kiss and wave. I would wave and go to sleep. He was a short little fat man with dark brown hair and a white apron. He smiled like Santa Clause and would rub his stomach. During our stay we went to Moulin Rouge, which isnt like the movie. And we took a walk down Pigal street which means "pig street." and we went down the river, and while running down the steps to the boat i broke a shoe. How funny is that. It was pretty rainy there as well but it was perfect weather for me since i like the rain so much. As time went on our trip ended and we were back on our international plane. When we arrived home i had the worst jet lag. I would fall asleep at like 8pm and wake up at 5 am. which was strange for me. it was the worst cuz i couldnt figure out how to change it.
