How do I get pale again?

10,633 2,427 June 9, 2012 at 01:07 PM in Sad
Ok, so summer has started and I have been playing lots more tennis, I mean lots, avg. 10+ hours a week, and even using sunblock I have went up a good 5 shades, I am Chinese suppose to be lighter/light skin, yellow if you wanna say, now I look dark as some of the Hispanic people out there. Anything I can do? My parents get md at me for this b/c they say girls won't like me as I am so dark and stuff, and they always tell me to not play tennis although I do anyway. Anyway, any advice how to reverse this?

Can you read German? because according to your reasoning, if you can't read the language, you don't know anything about it.
Haha, no I can not read German, but european financial history is well documented in english. This should come as no surprise as those languages share much more in common.

However, Eastern development (Asia) and history texts are not well translated in the english language due to structural differences in the language and stylistic differences, and many times highly inaccurate due to poor record keeping, and statistics.

Yep, whitening creams aren't too popular in the states. You can try ebay but to be honest, you just need to play tennis when the sun is ready to come down. The color will fade eventually so no need to use the creams.

Why on earth would anyone feed the troll? jaydid's answer positively SLAMMED this douchbag and all he could come back with was "you can't read IN CHINESE, therefor you don't know anything about china." She can read in English, you farking moron.
He's like the guy from Good Will Hunting, the one with the long hair in the Harvard bar who read one book and memorized a page and tried to pass himself off as an expert.
Have you read many books translated from Chinese to English. I have tried to on several occasions, and I've come to the conclusion that they're ALL poorly translated.

The two languages are actually too different to be translated embodying accurate Chinese Cultural interpretations. At best it's looking from the outside-in.

If you were in China, would the censor your internet access? I would donate towards the one way flight.

I don't tan I just burn and peel. Some Mexican I am. Mad

In not just Chinese people that place importance on having pale skin so do hispanics. Watch any novela or show on Univision/Telemundo and the majority of actors are very pale.

LOL, I've actually used slickdeals in China before. They don't censor slick. LMAO

You can't get rid of me that easily.

Why do you hate me again? Did I say something about you being fat, or wear too much makeup, or something even more negative.

I used to play tennis in high school and got so dark. After college though, spending time working during summers, I've paled back to my normal self.

I've heard papaya soap has a "whitening" effect but I've never tried it.
