The line between fantasy and real life

This morn, i decided to start work later as i know that i dun have the chance to slack like this once school reopens. so i woke up to breakie n my fav CSI before tuning into animax.

There are several things that made me real happy when viewin animaz, firts i know that witch hunter Robin is coming soon, second blackjack is also showing, Thk god i didnt buy the set in taiwan, can save some cash for my inpending wedding.

However, there are also things that made me quite disturbed. First, there is this anime that actualli documents the relationship between a female teacher and her student. Being a teacher, this actualli made me worried as this is a idea that I do not want my male or female students to have. haiz.. *shake heads*

The one that really sets me thinking is Paradise Kiss, it spoke about a female student known as purple who is "forced" to leave home because she cannot make the grades from her mothers point of view. She then moved on to modeling and lost her body to another model. In essence, i feel that she more or less made it because she is pretty, n she has helpful friends who lent their helping hands. One of her friends is rich and her family runs a fashion industry. Thus she is able to give Purple the starting step to success.

My reflections were:

1) how many ppl made it this way?

2) what are the prerequisites for a lifestyle like that, you have to be pretty, with the right height, with the right friends who are not only rich enough to give u a kick start in the fashion industry, a friend who is rich enough to lend u a place to stay in when ur mom "kick" u out cos u have no heart in studying n only heart for going out n having fun.

3) how many ppl got burnt this way? illusions of a better life out thr with minimum work?

I realise that all of this is crap, Purple does not take hart in dressing herself or maintaining her figure n relied on her friends to succeed.

Howmany of us have friends like that? how many of us can do w/o working?
All of these say one thing, fantasy is still fantasy. The real hard work is out thr. in real life, Purple will be a delinquent, who dropped out, n will drift from job to job. dreaming of a better life out thr!

Get a life kids, work hard! dun be like Purple, everything also rely on friends and only friends. Live for yourself, support urself!
I must find the me, the one whom I know I wanna be ;
