Long Post!

Finally dragged my sorry self home. >_<

And wow. I actually managed to read 10 over pages of the book, The World Is Flat by Thomas L. Friedman, on my way home. I have to read it for class, and it was a little boring at first, but it's starting to get interesting.

I wouldn't exactly call the book fascinating (how can any book without a muscular, tanned, strapping male specimen be fascinating?), but it's definitely an engaging book. And it gives a pretty interesting perspective on the workings of the World we are in now. I will blog more about it when I read more pages and/or if I feel like it. =D

Anyway, quite a few people have been telling me recently, how nice my hair is. I even have people who hardly knew me, complimenting my smooth and shiny hair. My hair has always been this smooth and shiny, okay???!!!??? This is about the only thing I can take pride in, and it's not even natural!!! Boohoohoo!!! YES! I ADMIT! I PAID to get my hair done! T_T

Anyhoo, I think the recent compliments are due to the fact that my hair is finally long enough to garner some admiration. This leads me to think about the fact that long hair is still the prime choice of "best hair" for the ladies.

For some reason only Mother Nature will know, since the beginning of time, long hair has always been considered to be the most beautiful hairstyle, that any woman can have. And in the modern World today, with advancement on haircare products and technology, long, shiny, beautiful hair is no longer unattainable.

So you see TONS of women in the streets, sporting almost identical hairstyles flowing behind their backs, with a faint tinge of the ammonia in whatever products that hairstylists used to create that effect.

You can't blame us, alright? Women, especially the not-so-beautiful ones, need all the help they can get to snare a guy and force him into the traps of wedlock look good. That said, in the spirit of an experiment why long hair will always make even the shittiest of faces look good, Yours Truly has decided to volunteer to prove this fact.

Specimen A:

Okay, not a ravishing beauty, I know. But look at the hair!!! Shiny!!! Kinda takes attention away from the retarded look and roundness of the face.

Specimen B:

AHHH, AUNTIE-ALERT!!! RETARDED FACE!!! BIG ROUND FACE!!! AVERT YOUR EYES!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!

See? I rest my case.

PS: The second picture looks a little weird because I took these at the bus-stop outside my workplace, and someone saw me! T_T But for the sake of the experiment, I did what I had to! FIGHTING! -_________-
