***no offense to fat women....***

---luckily, i was born being on the "slim" side. although my auntie flora (papa's twin sister, is on the heavy side now that she has aged). no offense to fat people, per se - i have friends & relatives who are, well, overweight - but let's admit it - either it's hereditary, inborn or maybe food, oh, glorious food just keeps on tempting. i was thin during my younger years. tipped the scale a bit more when i started working and wow, the wonders of motherhood - that added to my bulging waistline now (plus of course another wonder of technology on giving birth - CS section).

---actually, my blog won't touch so much on "bulging waistline like mine. i am writing this in disgust after looking up on a billboard along edsa - showing the megastar, sharon cuneta "before & after". well, that's how i'd interpret it as there's this photo of her showing how BIG she is and another picture showing how she is NOW - which is horrendous!!! we all know how big and biggie ms. cuneta is. she aptly fits in our 29-inch TV but maybe will have a hard time fitting in a 14-inch, oh well.

---she is endorsing marie france - a slim salon offering those modern day magic of what most women loves - transformation. in fairness, i have adorned the beauty of ms. dawn zulueta, also an endorser of marie france. but dawn has the body (and beauty). she has given birth to 2 kids (not so sure about this), gained a few pounds but instantly regained her normal body weight. but sharon? uh-oh, she is still FAT!!! or maybe she took after her mom, elaine cuneta who is also on the heavy side. and with sharon's endorsement of edible foods - from noodles, ice cream, milk, burger, and God knows what - anything edible, she gobbles....

---so my status on FB says - there is no truth in advertising. only the stars get paid millions for false endorsements. and to add more insult to injury, they benefit a billboard for us to see. there are other billboards (well, mostly by belo), jinky pacquio, zsa zsa padilla, gretchen barretto - all these beautiful women are pleasing to the motorist's eyes (never mind if they tell me it has been photoshopped a million times) but you see "beauty". however, on sharon's case, instead of getting a relaxed moment while traffic is heavy along edsa, and looking up and admiring all the billboards - from food, gadgets, apparel, shoes, etc. one will have the feeling of DISGUST because we all know ms. sharon cuneta is still fat - - and will always be fat.
