„ beauty become .. distorted

April 30, 2007 · 3 Comments

she is beautiful .. no she is not.
it’s just so sad how lots of people form there idea about beauty, it’s seems like there is a standered for the beauty. everything is beautiful, you just need to see it, to understand it.
but it’s the media .. the power of the media in forming public opinion.

went to the car agency, they told me it will cost KD500 to fix it.
went to shuwaikh industerial area which is full of garages, they told me it will cost KD250!!!
