It was one of those lazy afternoons where I would get up from bed late and then surf the internet while listening to newly downloaded music when I got bored from the cycle and decided to shut the computer down and just stare outside the window when all of a sudden I turn around and there they were. My two heroes who saved me from boredom, my gay neighbor friend and his boyfriend. I was so shocked and very taken by the scenery that was just a feet away from me that I had to hide behind the curtain and took a satisfactory peek.
There were hundreds of things that ran into my mind during that brief secret encounter--how silly of me to be snooping on such a socially controversial relationship, the things I would gossip to our mutual friend, the looks of the boyfriend, the looks of my friend, etc, etc.
What struck me the most is that how could my friend bag someone so out of his league in the looks department? Not that the boyfriend was a looker himself but he somehow had this physical appeal a little bit. He was fair skinned, had a good skinny build and dressed well while my friend whom I have known since childhood was UGLY. I'm not being mean just honest. It's not like everyone doesn't agree with me because all our friends thinks he is and that he smells and doesn't have good hygiene or has one for that matter. Trust me, when you see my friend you wouldn't think I'm being mean and bitchy at all, you would totally sympathize on the fact that I even had a friend like that. Okay, now that's mean and I'm sorry but I just couldn't get over the fact a walking garbage could attract an average looking Sam Concepcion.
It's been quite a cliche really, beautiful people dating ugly ones but every time we saw a weird combination we can't help but ask what was the blessed one thinking and what was with that disaster? The popular answer would be, the personality. Ah, personality. It can take you a long way that not even beauty or money can trump. It's how the unfortunate looking ones made it and it's tried and tested. You can be wearing some crazy Lady Gaga outfit in a room but you will never ever stand out without the personality. Kind of ironic and it makes you think that God DID make everyone equal. The ugly people get the personality, most of the time. I'm not saying it's always the case but in most scenarios it is a fact. I wouldn't have to worry though, I have both. KIDDING! Don't raise that eyebrow on me. 'Kay fine, go ahead.
But that sneaking around behind the curtains was a big thing for me though 'coz it made me ask myself where I belong. Beauty or personality?
The hell with personality I'm crossing my fingers for beauty.
