2013: A Fresh Start

Personal Wednesday, January 02, 2013

2012 had been the toughest year for me. For 366 days, I've been through a hard-hitting roller coaster ride. It was a year that I've been to the highest of highs and lowest of lows.

Here are some lessons I've learned from last year:

1. Lies hurt, truth hurts worse. Some people say that don't ask what you don't want to know. I'm not sure if my curiosity is my friend or foe, but my constant quest for certainty had only led to ambiguity and produced more questions than answers. The quest led me to answers to what and where and when, but only made worse directed to more why's. It hurts to be lied to in the face. The truth may have been a rotten dead man, you just don't have to dig it up again.

2. Self-love. It's been a cliche. Love yourself before others, that's what they say. It's not easy. There's no meter to measure love. There's no warning sign that will alert you to stop loving someone. But it's not that difficult to give time, to value, and to put ourselves above others. It's not selfishness, it's allowing no one to abuse and manipulate us.

3. Everyone deserves a second chance. But never a third chance. People could mess up. Even though forgiving doesn't always mean forgetting, we're giving ourselves the favor if we choose to forgive. It helps us go on, it frees us from keeping grudges against people who have caused us pain.

4. Let people hate you. We really can't please everybody. People are such haters, but that doesn't mean we have to hate them back. Allow them to bash you in social media, let them indulge in putting themselves to shame by showing off their ugly character. Ignore them, paying too much attention to their hate makes them stronger. They're attention seekers, so let them sulk in their own spilled milk.

5. Others opinions don't have to dictate us who we are. They can talk their talk, but they can't walk our walk. They have never lived a minute of our lives so they can't tell us who we are. As some advice tells us, live in such a way that if someone tells something against you, no one will believe them.

6. Friends do only good things. If people are making you do bad things: lie, fornicate, steal, cheat then stay away from bad company. They are not friends.

And since I don't really wanna sound like an expert, I'm gonna say goodbye to 2012's bad vibes and give lots of kisses and hugs to a wonderful new year: 2013! It's gonna be a fresh start. New pages to fill, new adventures to take, new lessons to learn, new places to go, new people to meet, new food to taste.

Kikay Me :)

Personal Friday, November 30, 2012

Growing up, I was such a tomboy. So when I told everyone I had just signed up to become a beauty consultant, they were in awe.

Haha In my younger days, I had really short hair, the school-boy hair, hahaha so just imagine how my family and closest friends react, I bet they never thought of me venturing in anything close to being such a kikay.

Haha they're now dubbing me as "bayot" (or babaeng bakla/ gay). Ooops, why oh why?

I should have known earlier how fun it is to dress up! *blushies* From choosing a nice dress, or a pair of skirt and cute blouse to donning a really chic blazer, not to mention the pain-defying high heels, *wink* hahaha people change, and as for me, it was a kikay overhaul! Haha Now, I could never have enough of green eyeshadow. Hehe

Back in my days as a girly-tomboy, I thought beauty and fashion were mere shallow forms of self expression. Yeah, I was really a hater. That anything deviating from the "natural look" was a clown. *boom* I was really harsh to those faces who hid from thick foundations and dolled up with eye-popping colors and yes, the "just-ate-lechon" overdose of lipgloss, hahaha
Ooops :p

Now, I am a firm believer that a good personality needs to have a good-looking face too. Yes! You can read that again.

So to my girls out there, if you don't know how to do the "no-makeup makeup look" (well, just like me, haha) ; you can never go wrong with a dose of cheek&lip color and a mascara. Don't you forget to choose the right foundation or face powder for you. (Oiliness is next to ugliness). Wow, do I sound like an expert. Haha

As for my boys, easy on the make up, haha let me pressure you to have good skin, not necessarily baby skin but at least, please look clean, avoid the oil in your face. Weeee. And yes, it wouldn't make you less of a man if you know how to use moisturizer and sunscreen. *wink*

Hands up my beautiful boys and girls.

For those with personality problem, read this: act according to your beauty :p and here's a cure for your bad attitude, go eat that makeup. *just kidding*

I know beauty isn't and shouldn't be just skin deep but it isn't wrong to make an effort to look good, right? :) I tell you, more and more good things would come your way. :)

So, what's your kikay story? :)
