Four-Eyed Girl

I'm not perfect.

I have freckles and faint red veins on my face.
 I don't have that perfect hair. I once shaved my head,
 it made people into thinking that I'm a cancer patient in remission.

I can't wear contacts because I have sensitive eyes, 
so I wear glasses everyday and sometimes I'm sick and tired of wearing them.
 I look like a dork not because it's a sick fashion statement,
 but because I need them badly to see clearly.

I used to be thin but now I'm fat as a cow.

I wanted to become an artist—
painter, writer, photographer, musician
 and my biggest regret was not going to art school.

I hate going to clubs. I hate socializing with people.
 Maybe because I’m bad at dancing and I’m terrified of people I barely know.

Sometimes I curse, a lot—but not in front of my kids.

I could never be a girly-girl, I already tried.
I'll always be the girl with those dorky glasses.

I'm not perfect but I'm perfectly happy being imperfect
 and I don't give a fucking shit.


I love you, Juana. Freckles and all! :)

    - I found this line VERY VERY ME. Really! We have the same frustration. And it sucks. Haha. :D

    "Sometimes I curse, a lot—but not in front of my kids."

    - Yeah. We love to curse but not outright. Heeee maybe it's one of the perks of having a very imaginative mind. Hahah. :D

    P.S.

    I still really envy your clean theme. :|

  2. Hey Judy! Thanks for dropping by. I really appreciate it! ♥

    I am obsessed with anything white :)

    BTW, I loved what you wrote about Stephen King-- my not so secret lover. :p

    And you're currently reading Dreamcatcher! :) I have a hardbound copy of it, I bought it at Booksale yr '05. Definitely loved the story but I lost the book last year due to typhoon Ondoy. :( Make sure you have a big plastic container for the safekeeping of your collections. Always be prepared for those unpredictable typhoon scenarios. I lost almost half of my favorite books during typhoon Ondoy. Almost all my precious hardbound books. Pffft.

    TC dear! I'm an avid fan of your blog :)
