Don’t blink twice! That was what i’ve posted for the blog title, beauty is not in the eyes of the beholder but in the eyes of its admirer! Think for a few moments and it will sound kinda wrong; Beauty is in the eyes of its beholder- i sense the nasserism! The guy who made this phrase must have been so self-obsessed but thats not my point; my point is that we ourselves define what we term beauty as and what appeals to our eyes.

Let’s talk about physical beauty. In a random survey we did today which involved 6 people- of which 3 of them are guys and the rest of the other gender, we found out that everyone of them found the hot girl beautiful and this hot girl was none other than Dawn Yang, Singapore’s celebrity blogger. She’s hot i would definitely give her that but by just looking at her blog i could really tell how physical beauty is overrated in this world. Look at her counter and boy oh boy, 7.6 million hits; first thing that struck me is she really that good of a blogger? As i scurried through the blog i found that the blog was actually filled with many of her photos and that there were more photos than word(s). If you guys would have researched more on her, she actually had plastic surgery before to enhance her looks so that would make her beauty artificial. So that would make my point that this world is overrating physical appearances.

As a musician i would definitely find skills and music a form of beauty- be it punk rock, jazz or R&B music is my thing and i would love to listen to every kind of music that are appealing to my ears of course. But let’s talk about skills. Before i go on i must say this that being a drummer myself i very much respect the all famous previously known better in Blink182’s awesome drummer- Travis Barker. In case you guys don’t know who Travis is, he was previously in Blink182 which was famous for the few songs like “All the small things” & “I miss you”. He’s currently doing drums for a few very famous songs such as the recent OST in step-up 2, “Flo rida-low”. Thing about Travis is once agian he’s overrated! Lets put him side to side with Tony Royster Jr; I could vaguely imagine Travis cowering at the awesomeness of Tony when he’s on his drums jazzing his way through the night but we all know for a fact that Travis is more famous than Tony even when they are in a field where drums rule the game- Just because Travis appears to be more physically attractive and appealing with his hot body and tattoos should he be more recognized than Tony who is a much better drummer than he is? Once again the world has overrated physical beauty.

Very much interestingly, in our little experiment when choosing a partner; majority of our subjects preferred inner beauty over physical appearances. When given a choice between Dawn Yang and a average looking plain Jane, people would rather pick the plain Jane if she had good qualities that appealed to our subjects. True enough, people would rather pick a person with qualities that they admire for a mate but sadly they have failed to apply that to everyone but we cant put the blame on ourselves for being stereotypical- which is actually a good thing just don’t be prejudical to anyone; its a fact that we can’t get to know everyone so we have to judge people by physical appearances.

In closing i would just like to say that physical beauty is really overrated in our materialistic world today, just head down over to Dawn Yang’s site at www.dawnyang.com where she blogs about her daily life and she has 7.6 million views to this day! But i’m pretty sure that beauty can come out of other places too, just look at the dairy of Anne Frank, i’m pretty sure theres no hot or steamy photos of her in her dairy but what was the essence that captured readers was the beauty of her diary was the hope that she held on to so dearly. Beauty can be found everywhere, open your eyes a little wider to notice the beautiful things that already exist around you. Don’t forget that physical beauty is only temporal and that it could be artificial.
