JUDGE

Can I use this blogger as a diary for the day?
No more entry for the sake of entertainment, but pure voice of the heart.
A quote popped into my mind while I was talking to Pau, "As a kid, I knew life was harsh. As an adult, I learnt life is harsh."
Have you ever felt like you could not do what you want to do, fearing that other people would judge you?
Have you ever been judged, and was upset by it?
Then looked back and realized that you judge someone else?
I just feel like that right now. My personal principle is that I would never want to judge anyone because as a kid growing up, I have been judged severely.
One time during my secondary school years, a guy came up to me and said "stop being a bimbo" because I looked into the mirror in the midst of walking back to class from the gathering hall.
Definition of BIMBO (www.dictionary.com) - an attractive but stupid young woman.
I am definitely not a bimbo. To begin with, I am not what you would consider attractive. To be honest, at times I feel like I am a beauty, but at times when I look into the mirror, I just go bleah. My nose is not pretty, my double eyelids are not as huge as the beauteous Europeans/Americans, my mouth is not specifically attractive. Secondly, I would not consider myself an airhead because I know I am smart. Not genious, but smart enough to not study and get an occasional A on Maths and Science. Smart enough to possess four languages, write and articulate English with little (or no) difficulties despite me learning it only at the age of 8.
How is it that one could look at a person, witnessing an action that he or she does, and decides on what kind of person he or she is?
"Oh she danced erotically, she must be a cheap slut"
"Oh he likes so many girls, he must be a player"
"Oh she is loud, she must be an attention seeker"
"Oh he drives a Honda, he must be poor"
Whoever told you that people who danced erotically are cheap? What if that is something they are good at. Does it mean that someone who doesn't dance erotically is pure virgin?
Whoever gave you the right to mark one as a player? Is it his fault that he is emotional. Why can't one help instead of mock?
Whoever said that the loud ones are the attention seeking ones? What if that is just the way he/she learns. Think, aren't the quiet ones an occasional attention seeker too? (picture a child in a corner)
Since when does driving a Honda judge the social class of a person? Bill Gates loves Economy Class, poor,, errr don't think so. In which year did thrift tantamount to poorness while splurge equals wealth?
I am just saying........
Anyways, pictures from the cruise taken by other cameras :D (The CS Photography & The Cruise Team)
