Asians Version 2.X

It seems that throughout Asia, the Asians are re-inventing themselves with medical science. If I was single and had the stamina to make the rounds with the babes, I might have considered a version 2.0 of myself to make life and a night out a bit easier and certainly more interesting.

Mirror, Mirror, on the wall, make me a stud or a babe by Fall.

I did, BTW, do very well with just ver. 1.0 of myself. :)

Actual quote from actual conversation with actual friend on my last visit to my home town in the Philippines.

Friend: "Stella, don't you want to, like, lose weight? I mean, it would be so perfect when you're looking for a job and you're totally slim and sexy..."

Me: "...But I'm a copywriter and a trained journalist! I don't need to be sexy if I'm going to be behind a desk, do I?"

Friend: "Yes, but wouldn't it be so perfect if..."

Sad, but true. It's so obscene to think that, after five years of not visiting, the first nice thing that any of my so-called friends back home could say is "Stella! You're FAT!" (Either that, or "Stella! Where are all the expensive gifts I asked you to bring for me from the States?")

Now you know part of the reason why I haven't come home in a long time. (Then again, none of these friends have had much to say about me lately ever since my Mom told them that I got a job out here.)

Man, that eyelid thing. I just don't get it. I have memories of my aunts walking about in curlers with little pieces of scotch tape on their eyelids to try and "teach" it that Caucasian fold.
