Opinions
*Note: This is me ranting about an article that I recently read and my views on the subject's opinions. This post is not meant to offend or hurt anybody but are just my views and opinions.*
Just a few days ago, I was reading the April issue of the Astro Guidebook and came across an interview with a news reporter from Singapore.
The reporter said some things in the interview that got to me and as I continued to read on, I found more evidence to make me dislike her. Now, I may not know her well enough to judge nor have I met her in person because for all I know she could be completely different, however, that interview was enough to create a not so favourable impression for me. And I have my sister and mom who share the same opinion as me.
One of the questions that was asked was "What would she asked Kim Kardashian is she ever got the chance to interview her?". Her answer? She said she would ask "how can people with no discernible talent or opinion is able to attain such a celebrity status. And she would ask whether there was a cushion behind that back of hers". When I read this, I immediately thought of Barbara Walters. This is because Ms Walters already asked Kim that question live on TV!! And it was all over the entertainment news network! Did you not see or hear it?
Also, according to the reporter, the worst movie ever made was James Cameron's Titanic! She said "the script was bad, the acting was bad and the CGI was bad". If it was so bad, the movie would not have won the ten Academy Awards they were nominated for. For someone being able to do such a movie on such a large scale at a time where movie graphics were still slowly progressing, is considered quite good to me. I would understand if people do not like the movie because it has been over commercialised but to criticise the workmanship of the movie? I do not approve.
Lastly, her opinion on skinny jeans. The reporter said that she hates skinny jeans and that only Kate Moss or severely malnourished people can wear it and no one else looks good in them. I beg to differ. I have seen countless of HEALTHY people, wearing skinny jeans and pulling them off. Even my sister and I wear skinny jeans and we're not severely malnourished! I believe that people should wear whatever they want to wear without having anyone to judge how they look. We should be comfortable and confident in whatever we put on and not care about what others say.
I've always been self-conscious about the way I look as I 've always been thin. And I am thin because of my genes and not because I don't eat. As a matter of fact, I love to eat! After being self-consicous for so long, I've finally decided to do whatever and wear whatever I want. Like my mom always says, if you want to wear something, wear it with confidence and people will see that confidence and not what you wear or how thin you look.
Therefore, I would like to say that as much as I respect people having their own opinions on things and for them to have respect for my own opinions, I don't think that people should bring others down and discredit others and I felt like this interview may have done that a bit.
So, I guess what I'm trying to say is that no matter how important or famous you may be, I think it is important to pay attention to whatever that is happening around you and to realise that whatever you say, may hurt or strike a bad chord with someone else.
I'm not sure if what I've written may have offended or hurt someone else but if it has, I sincerely apologise.
Signing off for now,
pa-alam!
