Good morning, Indonesia! Now I can brush my teeth in peace.

Taken last night before I went to bed. And yes, I did brush my teeth after this.

I don't mind being ugly
as long as I'm happy
as when I'm happy
I don't look so ugly

I don't mind if I don't look good
as long as my heart is well
as if my heart is well
I look better than a pretty but evil chick

I don't really care about my looks
but I care how other sees me through
for someday I will grow old
and nothing will be left, but the inner me

I can't be too ugly
when I don't have a wicked heart
but anyone can be very ugly
when the beauty is fake

I don't like to be ugly
even though I don't have a pretty face
so I try to be a better person
even though I sometimes get upset

But really,

Actually I don't really mind being ugly
because I actually don't have a beautiful face

I'm happy to be not beautiful
as long as I am well and I am loved well

"But you're not ugly
You're not beautiful, either
You're just unique.", some people told me
and "unique" is another word for "ugly"

"You're my child and you're not ugly."
That's what my Mom told me
no child is ugly to their mother
even a monkey is cute to its mommy

(but when I am beautiful
it's because you make me feel so...)

... I used it as my "Me & My Monday" pictures :)

... so it's a "stolen" Monday here. Not a good way to start a week, huh?

Have a brilliant week, Voxers!

Don't steal anything from anyone (like me...)!

People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.

I bought this soft radio with Maya few years ago at Junction 8, Singapore. She got the pink one, and I chose the blue one. The grey one actually looked cute, too :)

This is a real radio. I don't listen to the radio often, but I bought it anyway because it's unique and I'm a fans of unique stuff :) I have another radio, and it's a radio traveling bag. Will post it someday :)

Anyway, as Morrison said that pain is something to carry, like a radio - then don't bring radio anywhere you go, or you will always be in pain :D
