The Finer Things in Life

As I have long suspected, beauty is not only dependent on the eye of the beholder, but also on whether it is readily available. Take the people who live in Pangandaran or Pelabuhan Ratu, for example. You don't see them sitting all day admiring the beach. It's just everyday stuff for them.

By following the same logical reasoning, I found out that I can understand celebrity divorces better. Beauty, although it certainly helps, is not everything.

That is also why despite the fact that my wife is not a glamorous supermodel, or pornstar for that matter, there are times--such as when it's raining outside and she holds her cup of hot tea with both hands, sipping her tea while looking at me--when I can't help but tell my self, goddamn! she is beautiful.
