Cristina Yang

Ok, this is NOT me.

I know.

But apparently I DO look like her.

Since I came here in Canada, since I work in a hospital precisely, people keep saying that I look like her, Cristina Yang in Grey's Anatomy.

I was like,

Oh, yeah, ok, whatever.

I didn't see any ressemblance between me and her, despite the fact that the both are Asian origine with curly hair wearing a uniform from hospital.

Yup.

I was like,

Oh, ok here you go again, there is another non-Asian finds a ressemblance somewhere between me and her, great.

(I'm not judging but understanding. People won't get me easily but anyway.)

Last weekend, I was told by one my colleague that I do look like her and one of our patients say also the same thing.

GREAT.

And then, I was thinking, how come?

Because, I don't think my friends would say that I look like her just because I'm Asian with curly hair wearing uniform from hospital, right?

I went back home and look into a mirror.

I faced my Asian face for a few minutes.

I went to google "Cristina Yang".

Then I found some slight ressemblance between me and her. Like the balance of parts in your face. I compare with my Asian friends' faces with Cristina's one. I do look like her more than my friends do.

I presume that, probably Asian people don't say that I look like her because they know other Asian faces do look like me more than hers. Because they have more references.

I have to be honest, I have mixed up some non-Asian faces, I have. 

When I watched an american movie, for exemple, I mixed up some actors/actress in the movie and got confused.

I'm not joking. I'm not trying to be ironic. I'm serious. It happened.

So yeah, I don't judge people but understand why.

I had a whatever-attitude probably because her face is not considered as the most beautiful face in the world from Asian people. Most Asian people want to have a smaller face, bigger eyes, a taller nose and so on.

 Then I just remembered what Cristina have said, in Grey's Anatomy,

"Oh screw beautiful, I'm brilliant.'

And I realized how grateful to be said that I look like her. 

I adore her, Cristina Yang.

She was a great crazy smart and I'd love to be like her.

Also I don't need to worry about Halloween anymore.

Which is great news.

My friends would say, "Oh you can't be the same person every year."

Screw you.

You wanna be me but you caaaan't!

This year, I'll be Cristina Yang.

Oh, yeah, ok, ok, I'm not a doctor.

Yet.

Sleep tight.
