HK gals and 扮靚

BiscottiGelato

Looking at this forum, most of the topics are about make-ups, etc. Is it just me, or do other's also see a trend where HK gals always solely focus on make-up/skin care, but rather ignore things like changing daily habits, do sports/exercise, work-outs to keep in shape?

Just a thought. I always see caucassian girls working out their ass off in gyms, jogging early morning, etc... but i rarely see chinese girls do that....?

Yes! There's a huge cultural difference.  Unless the HK gals are very westernized, I find that my HK girlfriends are all into makeup and unhealthy diet.  Whereas my caucasian girlfriends and I will gather to go for power-walk and yoga during lunch hour or after work.

There are many people I know in HK go to gym after work as well.
I don't really believe it's only due to cultural difference. Think about "weather" difference...
How can one "power walk" under 30C? The make up all melts la..
And most of the time only half an hour or one hour lunch. Usually all coworkers go out for lunch together and that's the time for gossip...

Also... about work out in the morning..
Say office work...start 9-5.. but depending on how much time spent on transportation... probably some people need to take off 7-ish.. there are not much time left in the morning for exercise la..unlike here...more flexible work hour... and many ppl drive to work...

I guess this is very important
"do sports/exercise, work-outs"

從HIGHSCHOOL 畢業後，真係冇乜EXERCISE。我係懶，我認架～ KAKAKKAA。行街，試衫，我夠當係好好嘅EXERCISE啦。。。

DAILY HABITS。。。個個唔同嘅。
我就離唔開每餐一定菜多過肉。（不過有時我會發癲，食哂12OZ 牛排，食完飯食半桶HAGEN DAZ雪糕， DESSERT去BERRY GOOD 食4件CAKE）
。。。所以，唔好比我個樣呃咗你。

返工只飲水，或茶（鐵觀音 ETC）。

我好少食宵夜

不過我又唔食早餐喎～ LOOOOL
（呢幾個月好D，返到OFFICE會食個腸仔包，YOGURT等等。。。。或PIZZA POP LOL

半夜口喝我會飲水， EVEN THOUGH 有D人話臨瞓前兩個鐘唔好飲LIQUID，如果唔係會眼腫喎。

所以呢，個個人嘅KEEP FIT習慣唔同。冇話跟足就好，就健康，就唔會肥。只緊要係適合自己。

係呀，有EXERCISE呀，不過我唔見得佢地嘅樣有幾健康呢～

Another important point I want to make is....

Here, most girls are content with their body (good self-esteem).
We care less for trends.
A few pounds fluctuating will not hurt, and not gonna bring you social pressure compared to places like Asia.
Understanding that no routine & no diets are invincible, they're not the Bible
Western lifestyle is... chillax, & just suit yourself!

I do go to the gym as much as I can... (tho I haven't hit it since winter Olympic!!!)
I run on trendmills, do yoga, swim sometimes, possible squash (learning to play... mostly chasing the ball now)
I gained a lot of weight last year (starting from my injury last last Xmas and became partly inmobile and then inactive after the recovery). I was sick many times cos of the weaker body and less physical activity. I need to get back to normal!
