| Of Regaining Self-Confidence |
| Wednesday, August 01, 2007 |
Unlike my brother who is a well-known youth club officer in our village, I barely know the people living in our neighborhood. The only people I know are those that live in the same street as ours. One of them is Liza.
Liza or Len-Len as I call her, is a successful stockbroker in New York. I was really surprised to see her last month. I didn't know that she's gonna be here for a one-month vacation. Unlike before, she now exudes confidence. She really looks different now. Gone are her flabby arms and legs. I guess we could credit Los Angeles liposuction all the physical changes in her. Yep, you read it right. She had her liposuction procedure in Los Angeles. Didn't I say that she is a now a successful stockholder in NY? Of course, she can afford the cost of such procedure.
During college (she's 3 years older thanme by the way), Len-Len wasn't really the type of girl who is conscious of her looks. Her mom, Tita Rhea would often tease her that the reason why she can't get a boyfriend is because she is fat! (EwWwW...harsh!). I guess, it was Tita Rhea's ultimatum to her since Len-Len already tried enrolling to a gym class but she's just too lazy to go to the gym. She only lasted the gym for only two days! (Why am I sensing a feeling of guilt on this? LOL) She has also tried taking diet pills and slimming tea but none of these worked for her. It was only when she left for New York that she started being conscious about herself. Maybe because she's gonna be staying with her cousins who are gifted with having slender body (no matter how much food they eat....wahhhHhh, its unfair!!!). All of them got their boyfriends too. According to her, she would end up being alone in their house during weekends. Her cousins would be busy doing their Friday night out. That's when she started feeling lonely and insecure of herself.
When I got the chance to talk to Len-Len, she revealed to me that she really worked hard and saved even a penny on her pocket just to afford the prestigious Beverly Hills liposuction. When I told her that she could have the same medical procedure here in Manila at a much affordable rate, she revealed to me that she's really afraid of going under the knife and only experts from Beverly Hills liposculpture can "calm her nervous nerves." She's afraid of all those horrible stories of medical procedure that will make you look awful instead of beautiful. When Tita Rhea heard us talking about her liposuction, she said, "Oh yeah, she doesn't have even a grand on her bank account now!!!"
haHaHahaHaha!!! Beauty really costs a fortune nowadays. (,")
