this is the Philippines bro...wala kang score sa chix kung maitim ka...
and whiter skin = confidence booster...
yan ang mentality ng karamihan dito...kaya kahit tadtad ng peklat sa katawan basta pumuti lang gasta agad!
very sad. baliktad dito sa US. a lot of the people envy the abilty to be tan and to have "color" kase mas attractive in comparison sa sobrang puti. in fact, gusto nila yung nice brown na skin tone and that is what they spend hundreds of dollars trying to emulate when they tan and apply products to get color. i am very fair skinned to begin with at during sa winter namumuti ako but during the summer when I do sports, i tan evenly and well - a benefit of growin up on an island. yung syota ko seloso kase "natural" ang pag tan ko and I don't sunburn as easily as she does...
all i am saying is, people should be more happy with who they are. just stay healthy and feel better about what God gave you to begin with...
