The Many Faces of a Girl

Ever seen the recent Sunsilk commercial where the model has managed to achieve more than a hundred different looks because of make up and change of hairstyles? I'm sure some of you do remember that. I did. And it's because I can relate very well to that girl... don't get me wrong though. I don't put make up nor do I change my hairstyle every so often. It's just that... maybe I'm one of the few people whose looks or "image" in the camera changes every time. I wish I could show you some of the pictures I have here, for you to see the big difference from one to the other. I'm not sure also if my looks changes everyday but the weird thing is that... some of the people attest to that. Like one day, I went to the gym and my friend Joy, said that she loved my tan and asked when I went swimming, with whom and where. Of course I was weirded out because I never went to the beach because I was busy in school. The next day, Joy said that I looked whiter compared the last time she had seen me. I don't know but I get this feeling that my skin color changes every day because some of the people I meet either says I look darker while some of them says I look whiter the next day... pretty weird huh? Am I a chameleon or what?

I also experience another weird thing every time I'm at the mall. This didn't happen just once or twice but many times already. Some perfect stranger will approach me and start asking, "Are you Margie?" or "Are you this or that person?". Hmm, and what's this that some of the girls I sit beside either in a jeep or a bus smile at me and whisper amongst themselves that I look like this other girl who they know? Just like some girls experience, I even had a stalker who kept on following me thinking that he knew me and was in fact calling me by this name I don't even remember now. I know... i know... it happens a lot in Cubao.

It's really a good thing though that my boyfriend is really concerned about my safety. Well, I guess he's right. There are just a lot of "bad apples" around the city waiting for their next victim. So girls like me, beware.
