Project Fall
“Mama, look at this doll. She’s so pretty.”
“Yes, baby… But you’re prettier than that doll…”
She looked at me with confusion on her face. “But my skin is so pale, Mom… Look at my under eyes, too.” She pulled her lower lid using her index finger to show me her eye bags.
My heart hurt a little. “Baby, beauty comes from within… a pretty face fades but a pretty heart lasts…”
“Does that mean… pag maganda ang mukha mo, you’re ugly, Ma? Well, I’d rather be ugly, Mom. I want to have a pretty face.”
