Pandora's Box

Oh my God I saw this woman in the bus who looked like she smeared a tubful of makeup on her face. I mean, she's not ugly, but she had such heavy electric blue eyeshadow and like, the intense red lipstick and she looked like she didn't wear any foundation. I mean, if you have a fetish for clown transvestites, you'd probably be turned on.

Anyway, watched this movie yesterday called Maria Full Of Grace. Go watch it!! It's about this teenager, Maria, from Colombia who is desperate for money because she's pregnant and her sister is a lazy pig so Maria has to pay for her sister's son's medication and stuff. So in the end somebody offers her to be a drug mule to travel to New York for big money so she agrees. OMG it's so sad that this thing happens to teenage girls, because they actually have to swallow 60 or more of those balloons filled with drugs. And they're huge! Like silkworm cocoons. And the scary thing is that if one of the balloons break in the stomach, you're dead.

So Maria takes the offer and doesn't tell her family. In the plane she felt sick so she goes to the toilet and poops out 2 of the balloons. She was told that she has to transport all the balloons or her family gets it, so she cleans the balloons with toothpaste and actually re-swallows it! Anyway, at the customs in New York, she got held up and was interrogated. So in the end, the customs wanted to do an X-ray on her to make sure that she's not a mule. But then they found out that she's pregnant, so they let her off.

Ok why am I ranting? But anyway, in summary, the movie was so sad! But on the contrary, the actress plying Maria is sooooo pretty!!!!! Like, even prettier than Salma Hayek. Her name is Catalina Sandino Moreno and the funny thing is that I actually Image Googled her and she looks way better in the movie without make-up than on the red carpets with make-up.

Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I'm not sure I could
They say time heals everything
Well I'm still waiting

It will never be the same again. Urgh!

Ok I'm going to migrate to the bed!
