Appearances

Sunday, October 18th, 2009

So basically what happened was, me, my sister and my parents went to Pacific mall that day. Being raised in an asian heritage and all, my interests are greatly surrounded by asian media which is why I love the place.

On our way home, as we drove through the parking lot, we passed by the main enterance. The fact that there were smokers in the community didn't shock me, I had become used to seeing it. The thing that did affect me the most though, was the one who was smoking. At first, in once glance, they were merely 3 asian teenagers, maybe 2 or 3 years older than myself. But honestly, looking closer, all three were very good looking but one in particular caught my eye.

His looks were gentle and perfect to the point where I stared and gawked at him, wondering if he had a girlfriend. But then again, looking at his gerneral appearance, the cigarette in his hand, killed it. No girl would ever want a guy like that, and if they did, for what reason? What could possibly attract a girl to a smoker? Not appearance, that's for sure.

What they don't realize is that for every smoke that they inhale, it's not only others that are getting hurt but truly, you're only hurting yourself. And so, as we drove off that day, I was no longer staring at him in starstruck but in disgust.
