on beauty

a friend of mine has fallen in love... with yet another girl who's 21... who's here on an exchange programme. and given his penchant for "unattaintable" targets, i wondered how "unattainable" this one is.

mistake me not, my friend is not a guy who's (too) frivolous. in fact, he's the kind concerned with the world's welfare and suchlike, lectures at a local university where she was a part-time student at - and that's where i worry for him.

tell me that this is obvious: what if she squeals his declaration to someone else, who in turn squeals it to someone else, so on and so forth? call me paranoid but i sure hope this 21-year-old is as ripe in the mind as she is in the body (if she's ripe in the body). i wondered why he's so in love with her, really - and he, without my asking, conveniently forwarded me to a web-add that shows me exactly how she looks like...

and boy, she's hawt. not just "hot", but actually hawt.

see for yourself, here and you'll see why his chances are slimmer than anorexic. (her name's jennifer too, by the way.)



yes he's a nice chap, yes he's brainy and his heart's in the right place... but i maintain that he does not stand a chance, even if she were ball-and-chained onto this island.

it's like jasmine and calv, like my friend JJ falling in love with jaymee ong!

...unless, of course, she's like annabel francis, bless that woman, who saw past demeanors and married the sweet sheik haikel. for a 21-year-old, however.... i'm not so sure.


anyhoos. her pictures made me want to break my mirrors... good golly, i felt more the plain jane who'd sooner blend into the wall than anything resembling an actual living female just by looking at her from my side of the screen.

she's beautiful! her body's got a nice, sturdy-yet-womanly frame, rounded at all the right places and delicate where it's meant to be delicate. she's got lovely strong features and, and -

and i can only sigh in envy.

she doesn't look to be stupid, neither, considering she's studying to get a degree......... and that she's human.

it's unfair, don't you think. being beautiful and "human" both at the same time?


i mean, jaymee ong's different because she's not human. she's what people conjured up to grace magazine covers and marketing brochures. nobody's seen her in real life and i swear she's CG. even if she were real, i maintain that she's not completely human because she's a model, for crying out loud. if that's not "not human" i don't know what is. the english dictionary got it wrong: "model" actually means "goddess" or something to the like.




...well.

whatever it is, here's hoping my friend won't get into too much trouble both emotionally and otherwise... meanwhile though, maybe i should have all reflective surfaces removed from my room and tell my landlady that mirrors have been found to be radioactive...

china and their tainted goods, y'know. that's why witches' mirrors cracked when they looked into them mirrors in their swampland homes - those mirrors were from china.
