Beautiful People

There are few people in this world who I think are beautiful, in his/her physical appearance. And there are even fewer people who I think are absolutely captivating. By captivating, I mean so attractive that I find myself almost staring... but always with a smile too! So attractive that I have a hard time turning my eyes away from him/her. I have not come across many who would easily fit into this elevated category since I have returned home to San Francisco... until the past few weeks.

During this holiday month my family receives many Christmas cards and family photos from family and friends. Just last week our neighbors sent us their annual Christmas photocard. I have known this family since my brother and I were in high school, and the children of that family are just a few years younger than me. I always considered the daughter of that family, who is currently a junior in high school, to be a cute little girl... until I received their photocard. Wow! She is a beautiful young lady with big eyes and a perfect head-shape... she's Chinese. I could not put her picture down. I know that high school boys to guys even a few years older than me have fought for her attention... and now I know why. (hmm... if i ever learn to upload pictures on to my blog, maybe y'all could see what i'm talking about here...)

A week or two ago, I drove up to Kentfield to watch my sister in a basketball tournament. There I saw another high school girl, basketball player, who had such a presence off the court. She had a sweet and warm look. Her smile could melt anyone's heart. I did not get to watch her play, but from what I hear, she is an All-Star player in her league. I believe she is half Latina and half white. What a darling!

As my dad and I were browsing in IKEA, about fifty feet away stood two men, brothers i assumed, with perfect facial bone structure. They stood at least 6' 0" each with smooth dark tan skin and dark brown hair. They looked Indian to me, but I am not for sure. The two dudes had smiles plastered on their faces the five minutes I stared at them. haha. I could not turn away from them; I was more than intrigued by them... probably because there were two extremely handsome men together with their family. Whew, I kept turning around to look at them... I tried not to be conspicuous, but then I think they caught me. oops!

Sometimes I wonder if beautiful people and the likes are aware of weird people like myself staring at them... how that makes them feel... and how that affects their confidence and personality. Any beautiful people out there have any insight?
