SANDARA PARK: A 21st Century Heroine

When we were young, we believed in super heroes and mythical creatures who possess amazing abilities and otherworldly powers. Then we grew up. The magic slowly faded. Our make-believe world no longer existed. But as we matured, we also learned that heroes are real (albeit less magical but just as powerful) even in this day and age where people are more practical, more cynical and less faithful.

I, myself, have known a 21st century heroine whose abilities match that of a Phoenix--she rose from her own ashes and grew into an even more beautiful, stronger creature. She is none other than the precious, life-changing idol, Sandara Park.

I found this post on tumblr summarizing how she dealt with her downfall and pain; how she managed to come out even better and much tougher. She's a woman of steel, a lady of great principles and virtue and most of all, a girl who harbors such enormous love for the people around her. A heroine through and through, that's who she is.

2NE1 BIGBANG: Let me explain how Dara is so fucking beautiful inside and out

gd-krung:
Note: First of all, Im not forcing you to love her, and all brief summary of how kind her heart is and how her past life was so tough.She is getting alot of hate mostly, and it iritates me how such a kind person still gets this.  this is not fan-fiction, even google this, it is true, some are from news in the Philippines and her interviews on magazines, and some are just facts that others dont much know how kind this woman is. 

• On the loss of her career in the Philippines, her dad stole their family’s money and left for another woman and abandoned them. he was also sent to jail also for failure to pay 390,000 pesos, so she paid for his debts even though how much burden their father did to her family, she cried and cried on an interview about this

• When she was young, her family didnt have any money for her to enter an international school, she went to a chinese school( specifically philippine pasay chung hua academy), she did’ntknow how to speak english, filipino nor chinese so she didnt talk at all,  (but right now she fluently speaks all three of them) causing her to not have alot of friends and be often bullied.this is probably the main reason why she’s still so shy today

• When dara’s dad left him she became the ultimate breadwinner of the family and paid for thunder and her sister’s education, from food to shelter,she was too desperate to have money to feed her family that she agreed to do a sexy photoshoot that still haunts her today, she thought that it will bring back her fame in the phil but it sadly didnt 

have you ever seen this?

• When dara’s ex boyfriend( they were together for 3 years but broke up when she left for korea) had a car accident in the philippines and he had no money left to pay for the hospital, she paid it in full .even though she was  in korea , she even asked if he needs anything else (this was from the ex boyfriend’s interview on a local online news)

• she dosent reveal much durami( her youngest sister)  to the public because she wants durami to have a peaceful and quiet life unlike hers and graduate with a professional job in the office unlike thunder and dara
• 
• 
  
  L-R: Durami, thunder and her mother

• she never forgets where she comes from, even up until now, even if her country is not the philipines she calls it home.

• she said to her fans not to buy her expensive gifts( note: her fans are proabably the richest in 2ne1, they make lots of projects and send dara literally large boxes of gifts and has the most websites of all 2ne1) she said that she dosent want them to loose their money because of her and just give her simple stickers and she would appreciate that.

• she once heard that there was a daraling meeting at a korean restaurant, she called her manager and treated them the food for the restaurant (although she did not come)

• she knows she recieves alot of hate from people because she lacks talent, she says she will work hard and that her fans wait hopefully promising she will be better at dancing and singing

and many more i too tired to write them all but this is the tip of her past life. people think her life is so happy and cute, but it not, she literally climbed her way to reach where she is now. So due to all those people who complain why dara is so loved, then maybe because of this. Talent is nothing without a heart. people should remember that.

Note that the post inclusive within this lines: (--) is not mine and is actually from tumblr. I would provide you a link to the blogger's exact post but unfortunately, I can't find it anymore. Here's her tumblr blog anyway.

I only have kind words for Sandara Park. She's been through so much hardships and pain but she never gave up. She may have crumbled a little, shed tears a lot but never did she raise the white flag. She knows she's made of tough skin, of a golden heart and of a winning personality. And she's here to remind us all that we can withstand whatever life throws at us. She's our beacon during the dark, our inspiration when in drought and our motivation throughout our hopelessness. She is our very own phoenix, our heroine, our Sandara Park.
