...Exotic Beauty: Overconfidence and Humilty Continued...

Bago man lang mag-Good Friday, let me be bad. The previous post was long overdue, and I felt it still had something missing. Now let me finish that off with this term.

Beauty is a common term, so let me move to "exotic", from dictionary.com.:

ex⋅ot⋅ic

 [ig-zot-ik]

1.	of foreign origin or character; not native; introduced from abroad, but not fully naturalized or acclimatized: exotic foods; exotic plants.

2.	strikingly unusual or strange in effect or appearance: an exotic hairstyle.

3.	of a uniquely new or experimental nature: exotic weapons.

4.	of, pertaining to, or involving stripteasing: the exotic clubs where strippers are featured.

Now that that's settled, let me translate the term "exotic beauty" in Tagalog: "mukhang katulong".

Think about it.

Stand by the skating rink of SM Megamall fronting the Food Court, and stay there for about an hour. I bet you'd find AT LEAST 7 couples that have a western dude holding hands with someone who'd pass off as your maid. About 3 of those couples would have some family with them.

Watch Filipino porn, the hardcore type sold in Quiapo for 50pesos per 6-in-1 DVD (oh come on. I'm a guy! Of course I know this. Maghugas ng kamay ang inosente, masunog kayo sa salang pagsisinungaling!). Most of the time, the "stars" of these movies are worse looking than some of the ugliest people I know (no names.).

You could only speculate as to how the western dude met the Filipina person, but while in your mind you think "eew", in the western dude's mind he's saying "yeah men!", while the Filipina "beauty" is thinking "jakpat!".

Thus, I coin them, "Exotic Beauty", ang mga Inday ng kani-kanilang mga "Ati" at "Koya", because they look like something that is totally "new" or "out of the ordinary" for these western fellas. They are the most practical people alive in the country, as marrying a western dude will give them a life far better than a life that could be given to them by "Dudung".

I may seem judgemental when I say that "Inday" is only in it for the money, and the western dude may have actually fallen in love with "Inday" because of her personality and whatnot, but really, is that honestly the first thing on your mind?

Yeah.

Anyway, as long as their happy, right?

Holy Week

Staying at home is slooooooooww. While I may do whatever I wish (parents are out! woohoo!), everything seems.... Limited. Anyway, I don't want to indulge too much on anything, so maybe this is good. At least I'll be able to clean out my room, another long overdue activity.
