vexed & Charisma
“ 烦哪烦哪烦得不能呼吸
烦哪烦哪烦得没有力气
烦哪我烦哪”I feel like screaming the above these few days!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ok, here’s something I mentioned that I will talked abt regarding the comments made by XM and ML last Monday.
Was showing them the pics taken at my birthday gathering and XM pointed out that despite there were other gals who are cute and pretty, it was
C who left behind an impression in their minds. Not because of her size, but the way she carries herself.
Agree with that point.
C is affable to everyone; you will be touched by her warmness even when you just got to know her.
她所散发的热情，是很真诚的，不像一些很“PR”的人。
I guessed her charisma have something to do with her upbringing. Perhaps living in the States during her childhood years had molded her to be more expressive than most Singaporeans. I admired the way she can keep the conversation going and the way she is not afraid to make herself look ugly or old (few would dare to purposely smeared chocolate on their teeth when taking pics!).
C seems to have a flair for the arts – styling, drawing, writing. I always find that people associated with the Arts have a certain charisma of their own. And upon asking my gor, he gave his views as below:
“I think they r a bit out of phase wif the world, so "normal" ppl will b curious abt how they think, tok & react. That’s y they will seemingly capture ppl's attention.Plus art is alwaz abt life & expression, which everyone is familiar wif. Artists tend to concentrate olot on understand life, people & how to express themselves thru various forms. dats y they seem to b able to see things from a view which other may not& hence ppl like to listen to them. " Agree?
有魅力的人，都是有内涵的。. “内涵”是可以靠自己在生活中多读，多看，多学，培养出来的。也许，经过一段时间的“心灵进修”，个人魅力才会散发出来。
XM & ML commented that they hope they will be as charismatic as
C when they grow older. ML’s view is:
Charisma is more attractive than beauty. Besides, it lasts longer than superficial appearance.Beauty can be man-made. But charisma, you either have it or you dun.
As for me, I dun mind not being good-looking (which I never was anyway), not having wrinkle-free face or a nice figure when I aged. But I hope to age with grace, and have a fraction of
her charisma and elegance.
The “Her” refers to:
Audrey Hepburn. I was enchanted by her looks when I came across her biography years ago (think I was in sec school then). Read that Audrey Hepburn was not considered a beauty in her time, considering her bushy eyebrows, tall and skinny frame. Her figure was incomparable to Marilyn Monroe – the sultry actress in her era. However, she captivated the audiences with her slender figure, perfect posture, graceful movements, presenting the public with a new ideal of woman. During the last five year of her life, she served as Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF, and involved in a couple of field missions to third-world countries.
外在美怎能胜过内在美? 也许这是为什么人们会觉得她在年老时，还是那么美丽又有魅力。
Ok ok, Audrey Hepburn’s grace, elegance and charisma seem too difficult to attain. I do strive to be as captivating and charismatic like
C. when I reached my 30s.
