"Tell me what you don't like about
yourself? "

Last time I went to ghabga, I haven’t recognized many of my old school friends, they all looked like super stars, every thing looked so perfect yet weird , there is something unnatural about it, so I asked my favorite friend which is also a limelighter, "haven’t you noticed something weird about their features?" , "duuuhhhh!!! Tajmeeeel" she quickly replied.

I've noticed lately that having a plastic surgery, be it a nose job, boob job, liposuction, Botox or whatever, is just a "normal" process to go under these days… no "gasps" as it used to be 10 years ago when we hear about some women getting their faces lifted and have absolutely no fears of going through the pain and under the knife, just to look perfect or "10" as the doctors call it.

Every age has its beauty, you want to remove the wrinkles? You think their hideous? Well tell you what? They're making you even more beautiful, each wrinkle is telling a story of your life, your victories, you achievements your good times and bad, and by removing them your erasing your history! Your erasing your identity… yourself

What's pissing me off is it seems that its contagious, since men aren't very happy with their looks either and they're going under the same process.


I am not against plastic surgery. I am against people who look perfectly fine getting their face cut up because they want to look like their favorite celebrity. It's only people who have, for example, have been in a car accident and had their face shattered, or people who were born naturally deformed. There are too many burn victims and children who truly need this kind of surgery, not for a 50 years old woman who wants to look like her 18 years old daughter.

Now imagine looking at yourself in the mirror and you see someone else (a stranger) till the rest of your life.
Needless to say that those plastic surgeries are making us all look alike!! They're erasing the ethnicities. No seriously think about it… if black can go white, and Chinese can go Caucasian and Latino goes Japanese… what a mess!!!! seriously people are looking like aliens

I also think that most of the cases (those who think they need some plastic procedure done) are psychological cases, they need to see a shrink first, take some make up courses, go on a diet, join a gym know what to wear, get the perfect hair cut . try all that if it didn’t work then maybe you should consider it.
But the question is, do you really want to be a "lie"?!
