Ugly Betty is the show which inspires me to write again on this blog. The farewell makes it hard for me to not to say anything about Betty Suarez, Marc, Amanda, Daniel Meade, Claire Meade, Wilhemina Slater, Hilda Suarez, Justin and Papi. Those are the characters which have inspired me in the last 4 years of my teenage years and they don't simply fade in my mind.

I was 16 when the show started and I was so enthusiast to watch the show because of the influence from Yo Soy Betty La Fea. For the first 2 seasons, Ugly Betty was purely entertainment for me because the show is definitely fun to watch. I laughed in every episode and sometimes even cried. Besides, who could resist the chemistry between Daniel and Betty and who could not be burst out laughing when they see Marc and Amanda. My teenage years have been really fun with them especially when I have such good friends in my high school (Amy, Ezzanie and Minu). Those characters reminding me of what true friends should be.

However, as I grew older, everything has changed. Ugly Betty is not just entertainment. It is more like a statement of inspirations not only for me but also for my best friend (ezzanie) and I also believe people in the whole world too. Somehow, I can relate my life journey with Betty Suarez. She has been metamorphosed in a beautiful way and so am I. I've had my down time in KYUEM and Ugly Betty inspired me a lot and help to make it less lonelier there. And when I moved to US to pursue my degree, Ugly Betty teach me a lot to be true to myself and most importantly to be bold and brave. Betty Suarez has been through a lot of obstacles but she is strong and never give up, so I should be like her too. I have one big problem in my life which is to make my own decision. I've never been able to make a decision for what I want; instead, I will ask people's opinion which eventually lead them to decide it for me. But Ugly Betty has changed the way I think. Now, I am stronger than ever to be firm with my options.

Betty Suarez also proved that dreams can be overpowering. I have a lot of dreams which I believed not good for people like me who tends to worry a lot. But she helps to discover my ability to believe in myself as I was even driven by her to take double degree in Journalism. Why journalism? Because I really love to write and my experience in high schools and KYUEM, not so couraging for me to do what I love to do. Betty Suarez made me realize that I have potential in writing and somehow brings me what I have left long time ago. (I was an editor for BM bulletin in High School).

I know, this is like over reaction from me, to be so emotional towards this one particular TV series. but if u really follow the show, u will realize how important it would be in ur life. I can't believe Ugly Betty has ended because it is my friend when I am lonely, my entertainer when I am sad and my advisor when I have self esteem issues. Besides, I hate to say goodbye and saying goodbye to Ugly Betty is just as hard to say goodbye to my family and my best friends. I (we) will miss u Ugly Betty. Me and u are not Ugly anymore....
