Transformation
Take a look see.
Tell me what you think. Pretty drastic change. I know. My friends have said there share! LMAO!
Anyway the point of this entry isn't to show y'all how insanely fug I used to be. It's to point out that NOBODY is perfect. Everyone struggles with self and body issues. If I can change one persons' negative view of themself with these before and after photos that would be cool. But a great image comes from loving yourself [mind, body, and soul] first.
Now I know how catty and critical girls can be of other girls, but I honestly don't care. I have been through and heard just about everything in the book - good and bad. =)
Keep the peace inside and out!

- two years agowow! this is a great before-after post. haha I can look back at my pictures too and my nose has changed as well (it's more defined now rather than one blob at the center of my face haha). crazy what only a few years can do to us girls! you look great! :)
- two years agoYou're right about braces changing the jawline. I don't think many people realize the changes you go through when you get your teeth straightened! Everyone goes through an awkward stage. You're looking hot, girl!
- two years agoI think you were pretty before too! It's a different look from now and back then. You have this gorgeous laid back, sun-kissed California beach glow now where as before, I'd say you were more of the in-door, more NY girl. I love the big doe-eyed look you have now!
- two years agoblonde hair really suits you....you should have posted this a couple of months ago, when we were all on this whole ugly duckling phase...i remember this one girl felt really bad, and we started posting pictures of our teenage years...
- two years agohey u turned white
- two years agowow! what a difference
the differences is the eyebrows; its straight now because before its was pointy and short..and also contact lense does make a difference - two years agoYes, my eyebrows were ridiculous back than! I truly do NOT know what I was thinking. Also the use of heavy lipstick and lipliner made me look older than I really was! Which was 17/18. I look younger now than I did back than! Its crazy. But than again its soo funny to look at all of these old photos. Muahaha.
- two years agoOMG I LOVE IT! you weren't that horrible to begin with, but i can't deny the fact that you look even more gorgeous than ever! I AM SO JEALOUS!!!! LOL I WANNA DYE MY HAIR AND GET FUN CONTACTS NOW!!!! :) I ALSO LOVE IT THAT YOU WEREN'T EMBARRASSED OR ASHAMED OF WHAT YOU USED TO LOOK LIKE! EVEN THOUGH YOU WERE PRETTY IN THE PAST TOO, JUST IN A DIFFERENT WAY!
- two years agolol.. my eyebrows use 2 be almost bald and i drew on it. ewww. we all have our ugly moments though. you look really pretty now btw :]
- two years agoPinkelephant you're being too kind! I look a horrid mess back than! LOL! And about the embarrassed/ashamed part - oh yes!! I had to fight with myself to put these pics up but than I realized that I can either embrace my past or not - and you know what - that was me and yes I was FUG, but hey people change!! Hahahahahaha...So it's just funny now. Anyway I think people should do and wear what makes them feel comfortable - and if dying your hair and getting contacts makes you feel comfortable and beautiful - than do it!! Its your life, and you deserve to be and feel happy!!!
- two years agoI just wanted to say that you looked gorgeous back then and now. I totatlly agree with you too, do what makes you feel comfortable. I hate it when people hate on other people and call them "fake" because they're doing what they love and feel comfortable in their own skin. Trust... some chick I know hates on me and claims she's "as natural as they come." trying to bring me down just cause I wear makeup every so often, dye my hair sometimes, or wear colored contacts sometimes. So yeah, you're gorgeous either way, honestly and f*** what anyone says. :]
- two years agoAlso have to agree on the eyebrows. Your eyebrows are sooo much better nowadays! Isn't it weird we all have to go through those years of utter ugliness before we come to our senses?
- two years agoyou didnt look that bad back then. trust me though, i know what you mean by your friends. MY FRIENDS ALWAYS REMIND ME OF MY CHINITA LIP DAYS. yea. the whole dark lip liner ish that made me look .. my age? lol. BAH. youre lookin cute mama keep it up!
- two years agogorgeous! you were pretty before, just a different kind of pretty.
will you please post a pic of your makeup stash? O:] - two years agoi think that you were beautiful back then, BUT.. i HAVE to admit you DO look MADD GORGEOUS NOW! lol. ur eyebrows changed a lot too! i love ur eyebrows now, i like you as a blonde, but ur brunette hair now is just so pretty. you're so pretty; i'd love to see how you do your make up, your eyes look super prettyful.
stay gorgeous. - two years agoWoah. That's tripping me out... how did your eyes get that much bigger? Are you just opening them wider in the more recent pics? I mean, I know makeup can make a big difference, but in all of the recent pics, you have much more of your irises visible than in the older pics. Makeup can't do that.
- two years agoyou were pretty before but you are really a knockout now! you're skin tone looks like it's changed too - is it the hair color? can i ask if you wore makeup in the before photos? thanks for posting this. you are stunning.
- two years agoYeah my eyes definitely went through a change as well! My best friend asked me if I got eye surgery cause she doesn't remember my eyes being so big! LMAO...BUT no..I dunno, they are just like that - granted the contacts give added depth and drama.
Sookiepyo: My skin did change! Before I washed my face with a bar of soap! Thats why it looks sooooo insanely gross!! Now I have a skin regimen I follow which consists mainly of oil free cleaners and toners and twice a week exfoliation [Clinique, Cetaphil, St. Ive's]. I also drink lots of antioxidants and water. As for the makeup before? Yes I did wear make up - it doesn't look like it but I actually wore a ton more make up than, then now. I just caked it on it's super gross - I really didn't know how to apply make up back than! =/
Thanks for the sweet comments guys! Maybe in my next entry I'll do a tutorial on my eye make up...=D - two years agothat pic of you in the yellow tube top with the dark purple pillow (sheet?) behind you? WOW. you look absolutely STUNNING! proper makeup application and hair style/color can make all the difference in the world. not that you didn't look beautiful before, but you look half-white now, and it looks VERY exotic. curious: do you model? 'cuz tila tequila has got nothing on you. :0)
- two years agoUpgraded!!
- two years agooh my gosh, you are one of the prettiest people i've seen.
how did you decide to dye your hair from black to blonde by the way? just a spur of moment thing or have you contemplated that for a while? i'm asking because you pull off the blonde hair so well! - two years agou were beautiful before.. and even more beautiful now!! ^_^.. i want those coloured contacts!
- two years agoGezebel: thanks! you're soo sweet. i don't model, but i have a few "model" friends. Lol.
Oddinary: thanks! um i had highlights for a while which were light brown but looked red - yuck. decided to go blonde cause i've always wanted to be blonde and so yeah, pretty much a spur of the moment type of thing. =D
Sara: you're so sweet! lol, the contacts are grey and from freshlooks! =) - two years agowow beautiful!!! please could you do tell us how to do makeup like yours in the pictures!!! Pretty please?
- two years agoEither way you are gorgeous!
- two years agoWow. You look gorgeous in all of your photos!
You have totally beautiful, flawless skin-- what do you use? - two years agowow, this is very interesting! You were still beautiful back then though!
I think maybe the eyebrows made a difference, and also the contacts give you a very "bright" image. Also your blonde hair makes your face glow.
Maybe the makeup did change? Perhaps the lip products. But your eyes look very bright now! Possibly because from the lashes or the eyeshadow?
Haha, i'm still trying to find what really made the difference.
Again, WOW!! - two years agoaww i wish i could even be as beautiful as your "before" shots! youre so lucky, i think youre the only person i've seen that pulls off the blonde asian look! it looks supergorgeous =) i think you definitely should be a for-real victoria's secret angel!
- two years agoAgain, you're gorgeous and everything but i think you're mistaken. This site is an asianbeautyblog, not wanna be caucasian beauty blog...
- two years agome too want......
- two years agoWOW! this is insane!! The before n after look like two completely different people. U were pretty in the before pics also but the after looks gorgeous. Now u gotta show us how u did this.....Seriously lol
BTW- great message, ur absolutely right about how looks doesnt only come from the outside but the inside also. Confidence is key.
Thanks for the inspirational post.
I - two years agoChrisandjared- you are so gorgeous! your eyes look bigger and more doe-like. but i think it's the blackliner and highlighter combo on your lower lid.
sophia- there are different kinds of asians out there, not just chinese, japanese, korean, etc. phillipinos can be a mix of different ethnic groups. it doesn't make them less asian. Chrisandjared's blonde hair and colored contacts doesn't make her look less asian. - two years agoyou're so beautiful!!!! i'm glad you posted this and is giving the rest of us a positive message =)
- two years agoThis is so crazy! You are absolutely stunning in all of your pictures, but I love how you grew into your current look. It looks very natural and laid back; you just really look comfortable in your own skin. Strangely enough, my eyes opened up a bit more as I got older as well. Or at least, I think my crease is becoming more defined. Lately my eyes have been looking a bit wonky, cuz my crease can't make up it's mind about where it wants to be. hahaha. But thanks for posting this!
- two years agowow! that's an amazing change!! i love your blond highlights! i never thought Asians could pull it off! you sure made me wiser =D
but i'm confused how'd you get your eye color to change?
but girl.. you are stunning :) before & after!
congratulations! - two years agoYou are so beautiful and totally my inspirations, i love your "eyes". Wow you have the IT factor now. And you have mad makeup skills.
- two years agowoaaaa,,,thats a lot of change..u look a lot younger than how u look bck then,,,i wish i can be cuter and prettier when my age getting older too~ cos many of ppl said that i din look like a 19 years old girl,,and i have a lots of friend which is 24-25 something,,but still look cute ..huhuhu
- two years agoomg, love the new hair color, do you mind telling me what color dye you used or what color you asked for if you got it professionally done? it just looks amazing!!!!
- two years agoYou're one of the only asian people I know who look good with blonde hair! LOL I like your eyes color as well, looks like grey contacts. Awesome!
- two years agoyes i wanna know where you get your hair done and the color! are the lighter color strips of your hair extensions..or streaks of a lighter blond?
- two years agodo you where fake lashes? Gosh, they're so hard to put on!
- two years agowow! i LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the blonde! you look like a completely different person from the 2005 and older pictures. in a way, u also look less asian and more white now, but still completely gorgeous!
- two years agoat first I was so overwhelmed by your brilliant blonde locks to notice that your before pics were just as beautiful but in a different way.
You look awesome now, but you look just as pretty back then too. Between the hot blonde look vs. the mysterious raven haired look, the blonde seem to suit your personality better,,,and plus this look pulls off that 'healthy-happy glow' you seem to radiate from within even in your before pics.
Verdict: Your inner self transformed your outer shell. You go girl! - two years agoYou are inspiring! =)
- two years agoomg your gorgeous !
you remind me of Leona Lewis .
:] - two years agodid u have eyes surgery. the present pic ur eyes look lots bigger than before.
