My 2 Secrets
Hi Everyone, my name is Jerlynn and I’m happy to be here to share 2 little secrets about myself. I have utmost faith in all of you here that my secrets will be kept within these 4 walls.
My first secret is that I can’t tell a joke. People do laugh after I tell a joke, but the problem is… They are NOT laughing at the joke! They are laughing at my failed attempt at telling a joke!
Oh well… But I am easily satisfied. My main purpose to make people happy. As long as that is fulfilled, I don’t really mind whether I’m the joker or the butt of the joke.
Another secret about me is that I’m a huge vain pot. And I must emphasize on the word HUGE! I simply love to doll up and I can’t leave home without makeup on. Makeup has become such a necessity in life that I will feel naked without it. It is the same feeling as if you wake up in the morning and realized that you have forgotten to brush your teeth!
My philosophy in life is to live each day to the fullest as if it is the last day of my life. Most people only doll up on special occasions but to me, everyday is special occasion.

Besides, life is like a box of chocolates, you never know who you are going to meet. So I must look my very best each day… just in case my prince charming comes along!
Think I have exposed a little too much about myself. To end on a lighter note, do not be deceived by my demure appearance, when you really know me personally, I guarantee you can laugh until you drop!
