because every girl needs to feel it every now and then

tap on my window, knock on my door
i want to make you feel beautiful
she will be loved...

I used to fantasize about this Maroon 5 song a lot. I used to make music videos out of it starring *ahem* me in sepia, and played it more than enough times in my head. It always gives me the kicks. I used to believe that it was definitely written for me and not for some woman named Jane. Wala lang. It's just so nice to think that there's someone out there who can actually make someone feel beautiful or special, even. Lalo na when you're experiencing the drabbest of your drab days.

I'm not kikay. Minsan, napagkakamalan pa akong tibo. I'm not into make up because 1) I don't know how to put some on and 2) I feel awkward with all that stuff on my face. I do like clothes, but most of the time I'd rather wear something old and comfy than wear shoes that could kill my feet or tops that would make some random maniac staring at my chest, waiting for me to bend over to get a glimpse of my deceiving little breasts.

But yes, I am intrigued with all that gunk and yes, I do splurge on lip stuff and eye whatnots. I do appreciate pretty clothes and frou frou. And yes, I enjoy following trends. Hey, sometimes I even wear pink, even if it's not my color. Not all the time, though. Because I feel much more confident when I'm comfortable.

Shit, ang hirap maging babae. You're almost always pressured to look neat, sexy, beautiful. Even after hours of walking around town, you shouldn't perspire too much, your face shouldn't be too oily, you should always smell fresh from the showers.

So when you realize that your hair suddenly falls into place, contrary to your bob that flies-farther-than-far-away you'd feel that you've earned ganda points, right? When you find that your sun-kissed cheeks are still rosy and you need not pinch them 100x for the perfect natural blush, you'd feel naturally pretty, diba? And when you realize that you can still be sexy naturally, you'd want people to notice, am I right or am I right?

Today, I wore faded jeans, my trusty black Chucks and a *gasp* push up bra. I still looked like the average college girl, but I left home feeling extra confident and happy that for once, I looked beautiful cute.

Then again, I still felt ugly.

Thanks kay Nex, the only person who noticed I had boobies today. Sayang, you're gay.
     BTW: I'm not fishing for compliments, okay? REALLY
