vain



My sister and I went to the mall today… we bought only the essential necessities in order for us to have a decent life.. hehehehe… needless to say, we didn't forget to drop by the "Health & Beauty" area of the department store.. we bought some soap, shampoo.. Facial tissues and some cosmetics. These are the things that are essential to us, or at least we like to think of them that way. Who would want to go out without some color on your face? Not all people are born with luscious red lips ok? Would you go out the house without some powder or cologne on? Have you seen the effect of not shampooing your hair? Your hair got that sticky look and icky feel. Eeeiw! I AM NOT VAIN.

Vain has been defined (I think..lolz..) as a state of over reaction toward one's look. It's a synonym of narcissistic (love of own self). They are the kind of people who REALLY are so conscious of how they look and are afraid of wrinkles and getting old among other things. As I've said.. I'm not vain. So I'm not describing myself here. There is VAIN and there is V-A-I-N. What's the difference? Uhmmm..Well.. the first one refers to the real VAIN which is a sin. And the second one refers to V-A-I-N , kind of people who just want to be presentable. It is a fact that not all women are VAIN, they just want to look nice and respectable and want to keep their present beauty. ( I belong to this group….hahaha!) I wont talk about the real vain people… it's just a waste of time. And it is also a fact that there are MEN who take care of their looks. Guys who.. uhmm *thinks* go to the salon to have their feet pedicured, who has comb in their pocket, a gel , cologne and God knows what else. So it doesn't necessarily means that if I go to the mall to have over haul (heheheh) that I'm a vain person. And it doesn’t hurt to pamper yourself once in a while. It's a treat for a job well done. What the hell…even if not well done!!! Wooooo hoooo!
