I couldn't say this better myself

We watched this video in my Mass Media & Ethics class today. I'm so happy I had a chance to see this. Jean Kilbourne accurately depicts the way women are affected by advertising and how it makes me feel as a young woman. Please watch it. I hope it can actually start a change in the way society views women.

Call me crazy...

...but I really would like to find a guy who wants to live in Korea... and be my other half. I've met several Koreans who plan to live in the U.S. And several Korean Americans who plan to go, but are already taken...

Do I really have to wait until I actually get to Korea??
I am a bit impatient. It seems like going for another year with nobody in sight will be frustrating. People call me picky. But, frankly, I'm not going to waste any time on being in a relationship that's doomed because I'm going to Korea and he's not. And even if I meet someone who wants to/is living in Korea doesn't mean I'll be attracted to him. It's not like I'm attracted to just any guy. I do have a so-called "type". And it's not like I'm picky about that either.

I will just have to wait.
And see.

Self-discovery is awesome

I've known for a while that I'm the kind of person that when asked to do something, or I know I need to get something done, I'll do it right away.

But I just realized that I apply this to homework. I realized that during the first week of classes each semester I'll look over all the due dates in the syllabus and start cramming in my homework for the first week straight away! Haahahaha! Don't get me wrong, I do pace myself, it's just that I need to try and control myself during the first week to not go overboard :]

Tired, all over

I need refreshment
I work all day
I stay out late
I get home and stay up all night
and then I wake up early the next morning to work all day again
stay out late again
stay up all night again.

Luckily, my relationships are strong. I wouldn't be able to make it if I didn't find time to spend time deepening my relationship with God and know such fun people. And have parents that care so much about me.

I really want to spend more time with my sister. Seeing my coworkers who are both sisters move in together and work at the same place and go to the same school makes me jealous.

More development on my future plans!!!

Lately I have noticed a passion arise in me concerning women, beauty, and being fake. It started when I noticed the way guys look at and talk about girls. Even the nice guys want girls with smokin' hot bodies and pretty faces. My heart broke as I realized how unattainable the beauty guys look for is for me. Of course, there is always plastic surgery. But, is it really worth the money, pain, and mental issues I would have to deal with? I have thought long and hard about the consequences of creating my own fake beauty.

It comes down to a vicious cycle. Many girls have become so good at putting on their beauty... but it's so fake! Makeup covers up my flaws and enhances the features I want people to notice. Push-up bras are sold anywhere underwear can be bought. I bet some of the hottest celebrities get boob jobs and nose jobs. Guys see these standards and expect them of even a typical girl! How dare we all give in to this! I do not have to go through so many hoops and spend so much to please a guy! Guys do not have to expect these standards from me! BECAUSE IT'S NOT FAIR.

I DO want to be recognized for my beauty... every girl does. But I don't want it to be a fake beauty. I want girls to be captivating because of the way they care about others.

Sooo, guess what I have learned recently????
Korean girls are obsessed with plastic surgery! And it appears to be quite rampant in their culture. I have been considering trying to become a flight attendant on Korean Air, which is known for hiring beautiful Korean girls.

Just today, I started thinking that it would be so amazing if I could land a job on Korean Air as a flight attendant amidst some of the most beautiful Korean women that have been influenced by a culture of abnormally high standards for beauty. If any of those women happen to question whether or not beauty is all they're good for, I can tell them, "No! No, it's not! You have so much more to offer!"

This is something worth pursuing.

Too many relationships are ending... :C

Sad
