Surgery to win back boyfriend
Here’s a story that I read from the online news of how someone wants to do a major transformation to look like her love’s favorite artiste. At first glance it is easy for us as third parties to say ‘that’s totally stupid’. I do concur partially, cause no one on earth (celebrities included) will look the same forever. The person may also have a new preference. Does that mean she should do another round of surgery to look like the person? It is an endless pursuit. Totally dumb. Yes. However I asked myself this question: If I love someone enough, would I do something similar. Would I give up the world literally, for the person? As much of a love skeptic I am, I have always had a hint of childhood innocence where love is beautiful and unconditional, somewhere inside me. Somewhere hidden and masked by everything else on top. Would I do what she is intending to do? Maybe not, especially if I don’t want to look like another person! There is a line in the article that says she wants to do it for herself too. That pretty much answers one of my first few questions. I don’t think I can do what she is intending to do, but I reckon I can relate to how far one would go for the person one loves.
There is a saying. “The world is my oyster”. Or something similar. Personally I added another line behind, to say “And you are that one and only pearl in it”.
It is easy for someone to come to a conclusion and judge another’s actions quickly. Like in this case, it would be ‘how stupid can the woman be?”. I can’t relate to that cause I don’t really judge people in that sense. I tend to look at the whole thing and appreciate the fact that someone is willing to go that far, for someone else. Love was never meant to be logical. In that case it is not fair to use words like ’stupid’ cause you cannot equate love and logic together. Love is an emotion, a sentiment, a feeling, something that cannot be really defined in both quantitative and qualitative aspects.
She’s a silly girl. I know she knows it too. However I wish her well. As for the guy, what I’d say is, he’s a really lucky guy to have someone love him like that. It is something that I reckon not many can say the same for themselves. TREASURE HER DUDE!

SHANGHAI – A CHINESE woman is so keen to win back her ex-boyfriend that she plans to undergo plastic surgery to transform herself into his favourite actress: Hollywood star Jessica Alba.
The 21-year-old, who identified herself as Xiaoqing, told the Shanghai Daily that she had met with doctors at a plastic surgery clinic in the eastern Chinese city who offered to do the work for free.
‘I have made my decision,’ the newspaper quoted her as saying. ‘I’m not only doing it for my ex-boyfriend, but for myself. I am a psychologically weak person. I want to do something to challenge myself and build a strong personality through it.’
Liu Qi, an official at the Shanghai Time Plastic Surgery Hospital, said the woman would need eyebrow lifting, eyelid reshaping and nose reconstruction to look like Alba, the star of ‘Sin City’ and ‘Fantastic Four’. ‘There’s no worry about the expense and it is technically practicable,’ Dr Liu was quoted as saying. ‘But the face-lift is irreversible and we hope that she would take it seriously.’ Clinic officials confirmed the woman’s story, but would not say when or if the surgery would go ahead.
The woman, who works for a web firm, described to the newspaper how her Alba-obsessed 28-year-old ex-boyfriend hung photos of the actress on his walls and stored her image on his mobile phone. The man demanded Ms Xiaoqing do her make-up as Alba does, even when she slept, and gave her a blonde wig for Christmas, which he asked her to wear all the time.
She told the newspaper they broke up last month when she threw her wig and fake eyelashes to the ground after passers-by laughed at her. But afterwards, she said she reconsidered. ‘I love him very much…. That’s why I always followed his opinions. I don’t want to lose him,’ the newspaper quoted her as saying. — AFP
