Papaya Soap Syndrome

Recently, lots of people were asking me why I still look fresh even after a hectic day at the office.

Some would have that kind of inquisition as if they are waiting for me to tell them that I have just taken some dose of a miraculous drug and that I'm just waiting for that lucky one to share it with (hoping maybe that it could be him/her). With these kind of people, there would always be a quick moment of silence whenever I reveal that I used nothing more special than a bar of Papaya soap. And that silence seems to me as somewhat a sign of disbelief of whatever secret I have just divulged.

Well, honesty sometimes could bring in a lot of mixed reception. This, perhaps, makes it hard for someone to come out with the truth. So maybe next time when someone asks me why I have such a clear skin - I would tell them (without batting an eyelash) that it's a curse!
