For the sake of rhinoplasty

My sisters and I are now watching this new show, "Born Diva". Yeahhh... a show with free aesthetic enhancements!!!! They told me to join so I could get the nose job I've been wanting all along, for FREE!!! All I've got to do is join, sing, be the guinea pig, and join the star search bandwagon.

OK, checklist: I can do the singing (hey! I won't be the self-proclaimed "Videoke Bakaw Queen" with Rye for nothing, y'know?), I have the guts to join (believe me, this is what singing contests do to you-- sadyang makapal na din mukha ko), and I am everyone's guinea pig! But no, no, no, no. I cannot indulge these networks into being one of those lured by a promise of stardom, a house and lot, and even free lipo! I mean, no offense meant to the others who want to join, but, isn't it a bit brutal being told that you're out, and being judged sarcastically in front of your face? I am not that much of a pachyderm to just let it pass by without them getting a punch in the nose. I am, by my own volition, a really sensitive human being. Besides, out of the thousands flocking for that "Belo makeover" chance, how many of those will go home disappointed and teary-eyed because they won't be able to get a blepharoplasty? I certainly don't wanna be disappointed. Then there's the "connection" thing. Admit it or not, a textmate or a ninang from some TV related company helps. Eh, sori, isang hamak na timawa lang ako. Gabby Lopez surely won't even know I existed! There are also a lot more things to consider- how would our household survive without me? Or how would Skye do without me? Or what will I do with my clinicals if I joined? Or what looks better on me? Backless or strapless? Or I still have to learn how to drive so I could get there!!! One more thing, I am not exactly "star material"!

Gee... the lights and the free nose job faded inside my thoughts. I am now happy with what I am. I also don't need a nose reconstruction. Mine's fine. Aquiline, but somewhat big on the nares (thanks to my genes!) Nevertheless, I can still smell. Besides, Mick and I can save up for a bleaching session, right hon? *winks* I guess I won't be joining any of those just yet.

Videoke na lang muna...




(btw: candidate number one won.)
