Ok, I admit this was a perfect time to get a photo of Fiona, well without really getting her ‘live’… heh…

One thing I don’t understand is - why do people get the idea that they can become like Fiona? She’s already got a great figure (mind you, my girlfriend agrees with me). Did you ever notice there’s no testimonial on the uZap? It’s strange because I remember almost every ad on fitness and slimming has a bunch of testimonials. I mean even the most unreal ads like Fann Wong advertising for slimming pills and Christy Chung advertising for Marie France Bodyline when she… well… you get the picture. Why would anyone fall for these marketing gimmicks? First of all, it’s a typical of human beings to desire that which we don’t have. Because once you have it, your expectations of it would have changed and you now aim for something else that you wish to have. Most people fail to realize that celebrities are ordinary people, with ordinary problems, dealing with real issues in living — such as the need for an income.

What is real, then?

Reality is realizing whatever our assumptions are, and that our predispositions and desires often lead us to build assumptions that aren’t real, fantasies that are played in our minds over and over. It’s nice to live in a fairy tale land where everything is possible. But check things out first before you start making decisions based on correlation rather than on cause.
