Butterfly in a Cocoon
Haay... I am not exactly happy with the way I look now. Sooo awkward! It's like I'm back to puberty. Sheesh!
I was never so conscious with the way I look. I rarely wear make-up. I comb my hair only once a day. I do not go to derm clinics or spas regularly. I do my own nails. I never wore braces. I used to go to the gym just so I won't get tired easily (which I eventually got tired of... hehe!). I always wear clothes that are on the "safe side" (meaning, I am not into fashion trends).
Until, I decided to get married. I know... I know what you think. Why? Because, I want to... I want to look different. Not that there's something wrong with the way I look now. Not that I want to "look perfect" on the big day (maybe about 25% of myself says this... hehe!). I know that it is not essential. I know I won't die because I'm not thin enough, I don't have the smoothest skin or my teeth are not perfectly lined up next to each other... Not for anything else. Because I want to. Period. And maybe, it's about time.
As some of you know, I'm waiting for my hair to grow longer. I look odd! I haven't done this for seven years! But still, I'm trying to overcome the urge to storm into a salon and have it cropped short. Oui, trés court, SVP!
I also started having consultations with what to do with my skin. Last Saturday, I had some facial warts cauterized. It’s an ugly scene. I call myself the polka-dot-kid!
Good thing the people in the office knows the why in all of this. And Joven says that I’m still pretty. =)
I just tell myself… butterfly in a cocoon. Butterfly in a cocoon.
Repeat after me… butterfly in a cocoon.

Pretty butterfly in a cocoon! ;)
Hi. Thanks for dropping by. I think the first step to being beautiful is loving yourself. After that, everything falls into place. And anyways, your h2b's opinion is the one that counts the most. Happy preps!
Dionne, who doesnt want to be pretty on her big day? Just stick to it, who knows, you might end up liking yourself much more :) Pero wag naman O-A ha! Baka di ka na makilala ni Joven nyan :D
you can try plastic surgery.
joke.
i guess it's just one of those days when you feel really ugly. it's normal. i, too, feel the same way most of the time even if i know that i'm drop-dead gorgeous. lemme point out some things:
one, you're not awkward looking at all!
two, even if you look awkward, then what the heck! give the world your bitchy I-don't-care-what-you-think attitude and you'll be fine.
three, Joven said you're a pretty cocoon. so go ahead and live it. be a cocoon!
four, no matter how much you deny it, i still think you're feeling this way cause you're so excited of the wedding (and who wouldn't be?). aminin... don't worry, by the time the big day comes, those polka dots will have been gone.
ok, i'm gone.
i'm talking too much.
thanks my turtle! mwah! =)
thanks for visiting marj. i do love myself... sometimes a lot! hehe!
right aggie... who doesn't? don't worry, plastic surgery is out for me. =)
you captured it chris... i just had one of those days... the four points you mentioned - right, right, right and right! thanks drop-dead gorgeous!
beauty...is in the eyes of.. the turtle.
kunin mo kayang ninang si belo!?
;->
Change is always cool!
I'm sure you'd turn out to be beautiful no matter what.
Every bride shines on her wedding day.
Di pa yata ako nakarinig na may nagsabing "ang pangit ng bride". Pag may nagsabi siguro nun, bubugbugin ko. Hehe. As if kaya ko. Inggit lang yun.
By all means, go ahead with your beauty trips.
hi dionne! ako ren, i'm a polka dot girl right now. had my warts treated last monday. =)
thanks dulz, mejo di ko sha kilala eh. hehe!
thanks leslie, pretty bride... here i come! =D
hi kateh! it's coming off na nga eh. =)
