Born This Way

Lady Gaga's famous song has touched a lot of people who are not content with how they look like and who they are. And I am one of them. Listening to it made me realize how crazy I am to think about changing myself by going under the knife. A terrible idea for an insolvent guy. LOL.

Then, this week's episode of Glee was all about loving who you are which I was extremely touched and moved. This poignant episode has just confirmed my realization that I should love myself more no matter how I look like and who and what I am.

When did it start?

Ever since I started watching Hollywood movies back in high school, I kept on thinking how other people from the other part of the world possessed that beautifully shaped high-bridged nose. (Well, I need not look outside of the vicinity to kill myself with envy because most of my friends and colleagues are also 'blessed' with such a beautiful nose). Since then, my insecurities crawled up my head and several lame questions started to pop up. How come I have a big flat nose? Why do I look like this? etc., as if I looked like a monster or an alien. Check ko nga uli! Hihihi

Admittedly, my lack of self esteem and confidence was due to the fact that I was not the way I wanted to look like. And yes, it affected me as I was growing up. I even tried clipping my nose with a hair clip before going to bed thinking it would look better the next day, but only to find out that it left some red marks on my nose reminding me of how silly I was. Wasn't it an act of desperation? Poor child! Hadn't I got bullied by some children, I wouldn't have gone to that extent. I think everybody understands that that's how some children feel when they get bullied or teased by the people around them. 

Lately in America, incidents on teenagers committing suicide because of bullying have been on the rise. In fact, it is ranked 3rd as a cause of deaths among the teens. It is very alarming because it is uncontrollably happening in the so-called the land of the free. Good thing it (killing myself) didn't cross my innocent mind. 

"Whether life's disabilities
Left you outcast, bullied or teased
Rejoice and love yourself today
'Cause baby, you were Born This Way"

But now, I am a changed man. Like Gaga's song, I have to love myself for who I am. Though, having a nose job sometimes crosses my mind, but it has never become a big issue lately. God has created me this way. He knows that this one fits me and my personality. And because of who I am and what I look like, I have gained so many friends, have earned respect, have been successful(?) in my career and have been happier(?) than ever. Bakit may question mark? LOL

Then in the future, when I become a billionaire, I'll definitely have a nose job...and many more, to achieve my dream look...

Walang bayad ang mangarap...but it should be feasible! Hahaha

Anyway, here's a video of the song 'Born This Way'...but it's an acoustic version cover by Tyler Ward ft. Alex G, complete with lyrics below.

Enjoy! 

Born This Way Lyrics

It doesn't matter if you love him, or capital H-I-M
Just put your paws up
'Cause you were Born This Way, baby

My mama told me when I was young
We are all born superstars

She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on
In the glass of her boudoir

"There's nothin' wrong with lovin' who you are"
She said, "'Cause he made you perfect, babe"
"So hold your head up, girl and you you'll go far,
listen to me when I say"

I'm beautiful in my way,
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was Born This Way

Don't hide yourself in regret,
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was Born This Way

Ooo, there ain't no other way
Baby, I was Born This Way
Baby, I was Born This Way
Ooo, there ain't other way
Baby, I was Born-
I'm on the right track, baby
I was Born This Way

Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be!

Give yourself prudence
And love your friends
Subway kid, rejoice your truth

In the religion of the insecure
I must be myself, respect my mouth

A different lover is not a sin
Believe capital H-I-M (Hey, Hey, Hey)
I love my life, I love this record and

Mi amore vole fe yah (Love needs faith)

I'm beautiful in my way,
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was Born This Way

Don't hide yourself in regret,
Just love yourself and you're set

I'm on the right track, baby
I was Born This Way

Ooo, there ain't no other way
Baby, I was Born This Way
Baby, I was Born This Way
Ooo, there ain't other way
Baby, I was Born-
I'm on the right track, baby
I was Born This Way

Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be!

Don't be drag, just be a queen
Whether you're broke or evergreen
You're black, white, beige, chola descent
You're lebanese, you're orient
Whether life's disabilities
Left you outcast, bullied or teased
Rejoice and love yourself today
'Cause baby, you were Born This Way

No matter gay, straight or bi
Lesbian, transgendered life
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born to survive
No matter black, white or beige
Chola or orient made
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born to be brave

I'm beautiful in my way,
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was Born This Way

Don't hide yourself in regret,
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was Born This Way

I was Born This Way, hey!
I was Born This Way, hey!
I'm on the right track, baby
I was Born This Way, hey!

I was Born This Way, hey!
I was Born This Way, hey!
I'm on the right track, baby
I was Born This Way, hey!
