Beauty Secrets



Having a beautiful face and body is a gift from GOD. But the fact that your appearance can now be enhanced and change for you to look prettier is what technology made these days. It’s not bad being beautiful because it can actually make you proud of yourself and make you feel more confident. But don’t ever forget that like beautiful flowers in autumn it will fade away when spring comes. Same as beauty when we grow old it will definitely fade away. No matter what we do and even what technology can do to make us beautiful, the fact that people is aging cannot be change.

So, is it important that we’re spending lot of money for us to be beautiful? Maybe… it can buy you an imported cream with anti aging effects or maybe a drug that can make you sexy or even a bleaching powder that can give you a fair skin/complexion. Whatever it is you wanted to enhance to yourself the question still remains, is that really important?

I’ve listed my 5 simple tips that can help people to become beautiful without spending money to afford a “BEAUTIFUL SELF”. 




  1. Accept who you are and be yourself.

Sometimes we think that we wanted to become just like our idol. It is not bad to idolize people but if you just imitate them and act just like them that is WRONG! Because it is not helping you to accept who you are and to show who you really are. It’s just making you frustrated on the things you don’t have because you are looking at the wrong picture. Acceptance of yourself and showing your true self is truly important because the first step to become beautiful is to know yourself. Be happy and satisfy of the things you have and “Accept and Love yourself first for you to be accepted and loved by others”. This way of thinking will help you to become confident and this attitude will makes you beautiful.  



  1. Build a good character

People are just looking for beautiful faces. Sometimes people failed to look at people’s heart which is the most important of all. Nowadays, it’s very easy to change your appearance and to enhance your beauty but I ask you. Is that the totality of who you really are? People might like you because you are beautiful but when they get to know you and you’re character is not beautiful just like your face they might leave you behind. Building a good character is the beautiful thing you can achieve and have. You can change and enhance your character without spending large sum of money but just doing the right thing to do, helping, caring, sharing and loving other people. That will definitely make you “BEAUTIFUL”!

Say NO! NO! to these things.


  1. Taking Care of oneself (avoiding drugs and alcoholic drinks)

If you really want to become beautiful you should take care of yourself. We all know that we’re not always young and healthy. So sometimes people wanted to experience and explore things (even if it is a bad habit) as long as they’re young and healthy but this is very “WRONG!” There is a saying in tagalog language “Kung anong itinanim siyang aanihin!” That means what you did when you’re young the result will be shown when you’re old. People are naturally strong and healthy when they’re young but when people grow old their body becomes weak. Our body is the most important thing we should take care of and this can be done when we’re still young and not when we’re already old. For us to become beautiful we shouldn’t forget that the system inside our body is most important than what’s outside. So if we care of how we look outside then we should care most of what our body looks like inside!

Simple and Easy


  1. Practice good hygiene

Practicing good hygiene has been taught to us since we’re a child. Hygiene is important because if we smell and look clean people will like us eventually. It is not hard and it can’t cost too much when we practice good hygiene. Just take a bath regularly, brush your teeth and change clean clothes. Those things can make you beautiful and confident about yourself.

If you have problems about hygiene (body odour, bad breath, lice, dandruff, pimples etc) you should not take it for granted. Consult your doctor immediately because it is important to cure those problems right away before it’s too late.  


  1. Exercise and Balance diet

We should not be too lazy. Sometime a 15 minute walk in the park or just riding in our bicycle can do you good. Simple stretching can do well to your muscles and can help your metabolism work faster. Engaging yourself in sports or recreational things can help you not only in exercising but also in having rapport with other people.

Balance diet is knowing the things you should eat and the things you should avoid. It is not bad eating the food we are craving and love the most but we should have control and we should know the limit. Even our stomach has its limitation. So we should help our body and our body will help us in return. Knowing the food we should eat or ingest inside our body will make us strong and healthy. Exercising and having a balance diet will make you stay healthy and beautiful inside and out.

These five things are so simple yet people failed to follow it and they just care about what people see. But the most important is what people can’t see and that is our personality or simply our “SELF”. If you love yourself people will surely love you too. It doesn’t matter how you look, it doesn’t if you’re not perfect, it doesn’t what your status is, but what matters most is achieving a good self and helping your self in achieving good things as long as you’re living.

I’ve met some who’s happy and content to themselves although they’re not that pretty. People love them not because of their faces but because of their character. And thus our God love us and see us with equality. He made us not perfect for us to know what the most important thing we should look at and have… and that’s a good heart and spirit!

SMILE JUST LIKE HIM!

My Battles



I’ve learn that you should always be prepared of what lies ahead
You have to anticipate things before it happens
You have to always condition your heart and mind
You need lot of faith and hope to surpass obstacles in your life
90 percent of my life was spend in sorrow and grief
And 10 percent of my life was spend in 1 hour of happiness
I can’t escape my loneliness and heartaches even if I try to run it
And Even if I try to smile and laugh about  it
It’s just “My Heart Will Never Lie”
It can't hide the truth I feel inside...

I wonder if I’ll able to conquer all the things I’m going through right now...
But it hurts deeper when I think about it all time
My head is like a computer that’s full of virus that automatically shutting down
My body becomes weak and my eyes are full of tears every night
No one’s there to help me, No one can understand my pain
Until I realized that I’m not alone
Until I bend my knees and begin to pray

I realized that it has to be a reason why it is all happening
It’s not a dream but the reality I have to get over with
I know that this is a lesson for me to learn
Life teaching me lessons to be prepared for another battle I have to face
Like a soldier that suffering because of his wounds he gets in battle and yet still trying to keep his life “Trying to WIN his battle…”

Life teaches me these things:

LIFE……

Teaching me to be brave
Teaching me to never give up and not surrender
Teaching me to have faith and hope everyday
Teaching me that money can’t buy everything
Teaching me to love the things I have
Teaching me that life isn’t about the things I’m seeing and having
Teaching me that your life changes easily the moment you wake up
Teaching me that life here on earth is temporary
Teaching me that the important thing is to live
Teaching me the true value of my family
Teaching me not to put all my trust to people
Teaching me how to forgive
Teaching me how to love them
Teaching me to trust ONLY HIM

and most importantly....
Teaching me how to hold into HIM “my father/my GOD” all the times.

God is always good to his children. That’s what I say to myself whenever I feel down. Yes, everyday we are facing our own battles. We’re all struggling as life will continue to bring us sorrows, grief, problems and chaos. We can’t blame people for not helping us in our problems because we’re all having it. No one can say that they are always happy although they have everything in life. "Not only poor suffers from sorrows but also rich people and not only peasants but also kings."



So I always think that I’m not alone.... not alone if I’m so miserable. I’m not alone if I’m feeling lonely. I’m not alone when I’m crying at night. I’m not alone when I feel hurt inside, I'm not alone when my heart is aching, I’m not alone when I'm suffering and not alone when I'm trying to win all my battles in life.

That thought eased my pains, gave me hope, courage and strength to move on… and to move forward.

In the battlefield I realized that I'm just one of the soldiers... others were dead while others were still wanted to live... and yet if I'm covered with blood and can't see the light anymore... someone will whisper in my ears saying... "YOU'LL Never BE ALONE!"
