Womenality

Girls who love to wear pearls need to check this out. There are so many, oh a lot lot of fake pearls in tiangge nowadays and rarely that I see women wearing real pearls. I actually have 3 real pearls, 2 were gifts (can’t refuse it) and one that I bought from China.

Some people believed that you should buy your own set of pearls since its symbolizes a “tear” because the person who gave it to you will make you cry. Same story like giving a hanky as a gift, right?

So if you’re planning to buy one, these tests will certainly help you.

Step1: Rub the pearl against your teeth. You may be able to tell this way as real pearls are supposedly rough while fakes are smooth. This is not the most reliable method as you can find smooth real pearls and rough fakes.

Step2: Hold the pearl up to the sunlight or very bright indoor lighting. You can check for variations in the pearl’s color and tone. If it’s perfect in its color and tone, it’s very likely fake.

Step3: Look at the pearl through the magnifying glass. You should be able to see the ridges and irregularities of a real pearl, or the grainy smoothness of a fake.

Step4:Weigh the pearl. Real ones are usually heavier than fakes.

Step5:Test the warmth of the pearl. Resin and plastic pearls are often warm on first contact. Glass pearls take longer to warm in your hand than real ones.

Step6:Check the drill holes. Real pearls are drilled as small as possible to maintain their value, so fakes will often have larger holes. Also, the pearl surface, or nacre, will often flake off around the holes of fakes.

Step7: Check the pearl’s shape. If it’s a perfect sphere, it’s likely a fake.

GEN 3:12 The man said, “The woman you put here with me–she gave me some
fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”

13 Then the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The
woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

I heard this from one of the women on a TV show being interviewed about their partners who have left or broke up with them. I can’t remember who said this but for me, it’s really true. She said that the “sweetest revenge is to be beautiful”.

That really hit me on the head and started thinking how my ex’s used to think of me. Then, I realized that we, women sometimes tend to forget the way we look especially when we already found a partner in life. And it should not be like that. We should always look at our best even if we have or don’t have a boyfriend. As long as we feel beautiful in and out, we own the world… urgh! that’s ideal but sanely true isn’t it?

By the way, I would like to also add more spice with this revenge by sharing with you this song from Nina. While searching for a video in youtube, I found this and her messages are just striking.

Oh again, I’ve included here the lyrics.

Someday
by Nina
Someday you’re gonna realize
One day you’ll see this through my eyes
By then I won’t even be there
I’ll be happy somewhere
Even if I cared

I know you don’t really see my worth
You think you’re the last guy on earth
Well I’ve got news for you
I know I’m not that strong
But it won’t take long
Won’t take long

‘Coz Someday someone’s gonna love me
The way I wanted you to need me
Someday someone’s gonna take your place
One day I’ll forget about you
You’ll see, I won’t even miss you

Someday someday

Right now I know you can tell
I’m down and I’m not doing well
But one day these tears they will all run dry
I won’t have to cry, sweet goodbye

Coz’ someday someone’s gonna love me
The way I wanted you to need me
Someday someone’s gonna take your place
oohh.. One day I’ll forget about you
You’ll see, I won’t even miss you

someday, i know someone’s gonna be there

Someday someone’s gonna love me
The way I wanted you to need me
Someday someone’s gonna take your place
One day I’ll forget about you
You’ll see, I won’t even miss you

Someday someday..
oh yeah…
