Ugly Betty final epidsode- Goodbye Hello

Ugly Betty S04EP20--Betty's farewell party at Mode

Today I watched the final episode of Ugly Betty. Betty has accompanied me for more than 2 years-- when I began to follow Ugly Betty, It was also the time to start my first job as an Account Executive in a PR agency in Taipei. I like the movie series since I always can find something alike in both of us, for example, we both start our career in our dream industry. Coincidentally, with the movie series finally come to an end, I am also on the way to my next step--study abroad.

In the last episode, Betty finally made up her mind to leave Mode, her first company where she has stayed for 2 years, and accept a new job in London to run a brand new magazine. This is quite a big challenge for her but truly something she has dreamed for a long time. In season 4, Betty kept hesitating whether working in the fashion industry was her true calling or not. She got friends, sense of achievement and precious memory here, but deep in her heart she knew this was not she want. She would rather do positive impact to people than tell people what fashion is.

I've quite touched by the plot that Betty was about to leave her first job since "first job" did have a meaning for some people, at least for me. Although the below should be posted four months before, forgive me that until now I just the inspiration to write. I considered first job as the door for people to start their career. Not to mention all the basic skill I've acquired from work, I've also learned the right working attitude and know-how of the industry. Yet as far as I'm concerned, the most important thing my first job brought me was-- the opportunity to get to know myself. Sometimes you have to admit that you will never realize what you want until you really try it. It took me almost 2 years to acknowledge the truth, but it's not too late. Though I felt kind of complicated while leaving my first job--kind of lost, but also relief,  I've never regret. I'm still grateful for those people I've met including my customers, the media, global partners as well as my boss and colleagues. Whether good or bad, it was those people that taught me and made me become the current Me.

Now as the series was finished, it's time to leave the past behind and move forward.

Goodbye! Yesterday.

Hello!Tomorrow. :-)



In the last episode, Betty started her new life in London with the song of Beauty in the world in the background. If you read the lyric you'll find that really fit in the season finale of Ugly Betty.

Beauty In The World

Singer: Macy Grey

I know you’re fed up
Like a lead up for us
All they talk about is
What is going down?
What’s been messed up for us?

When I look around I see blue skies
I see butterflies for us
Listen to the sound and lose it
Its sweet music and dance with me

There is beauty in the world
So much beauty in the world
Always beauty in the world
So much beauty in the world
Shake your booty boys and girls for the beauty in the world
Pick your diamond pick your pearl there is beauty in the world
All together now

We need more lovin’
We need more money, they say
Change is gonna come
Like the weather
They say forever
They say

When they’re in between
Notice the blue skies
Notice the butterflies
Notice me
Stop and smell the flowers
And lose it the sweet music and dance with me

Cuz there is beauty in the world
So much beauty in the world
Always beauty in the world
There is beauty in the world
Shake your booty boys and girls for the beauty in the world
Pick your diamond pick your pearl there is beauty in the world
All together now

Heya throw your hands up and holla
Throw your hands up and holla
When you don’t know what to do
Don’t know if you’ll make it through
Remember god is giving you beauty in the world
So love (Beauty in the world)
Yeah love (Beauty in the world)
