Holyweek.....

 

Let this season of LENT remind us all that this life we have and the material possessions we hold are just being LENT to us. We’re all passersby. We’re not immigrants here. We’re all pilgrims on the road. We bring nothing when we die.

But we can leave behind the love we've shared, the hope we have given and the goodness we’ve done.

May we all have a meaningful HOLY WEEK.
GOD BLESS!!!

Are Filipino women still being stereotyped to be beautiful based on weight and skin color?

It’s unfortunate that the standards of beauty applied to Filipino women are still based on weight and skin color. We can’t deny the fact that many Pinays feel the pressure to be thin and have white skin.

When it comes to weight, it’s downright tragic how most Pinays get obsessed with looking like waifish models rather than being fit. More often than not, they forget that being thin doesn’t necessarily mean that one is healthy. The “thin obsession” is so prevalent that it’s become part of Filipino pleasantries. Many Pinays greet their friends by saying, “Tumaba ka (You got fat)!” Before sitting down to eat, there are Pinays who announce, “Tumataba na ako (I am getting fat).” Such statements put an emphasis on vanity rather than health concerns. For instance, why can’t Pinays say, “We need to eat food that’s low in fat content”? Instead, many of them openly agonize about their weight in public. Of course, you can do that with your close friends, but it’s really not great to force strangers, new acquaintances, or your workmates to listen to you whine about your weight gain. It would be more proactive and empowering if you ask people for tips on how you can regain your healthy weight. Or you can always start going to the gym so you can actually get back on the fitness track.

When it comes to skin color, it seems that Pinays want to be white. At least that’s what beauty product manufacturers must be thinking. How else would you explain all the whitening products on our store shelves? It’s as if it’s a sin to have a darker skin tone. No matter how many times Pinays are told that skin color doesn’t matter—many of them still want to be white. Of course, there are also many Pinays who are content with their skin color—be it light, fair, or dark. Perhaps, those who think being white is all that should take inspiration from these women. That is, when they’re not busy trying out the latest whitening product that’s out in the market. It’s a “to each her own” issue—but hopefully all Pinays would learn to love the skin color they’re born with. Our tip: “Be comfortable in your own skin instead of trying to change it.”

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” So the saying goes. But, come to think of it, beauty is self-perception. You have to see yourself as beautiful first.

Fascinated with MURALS...!

Last month I was in the middle of turning our house upside down, you know when you feel you have the extreme urge to change the current set up of the house and crave for a something cool & fresh in the eyes…. 

…. well, I actually done what has to be done!!!, and hubby kinda mad about the work/renovation coz he do all the hard and dirty works not to mention the late hours prior to weekend just to assemble and disassemble all the cabinet and beds....

Now, what's left are the walls  and ceiling and I thought of getting a wall paper for my kids room and warm color paint for the ceiling but I came across this wonderful stuff... they call it MODERN MURALS….   Well, the concept is like the wallpaper but definitely better quality than the wallpapers and manual murals,

Murals by the way according to 'WIKIPEDIA" is any piece of artwork painted or applied directly on a wall, ceiling or other large permanent surface. A particularly distinguishing characteristic of mural painting is that the architectural elements of the given space are harmoniously incorporated into the picture  

On a traditional mural, a painter use to paint certain art/designs on the walls and would take him months sometimes years to collaborate every piece of his art, with the new technology MURALS can be attain in less than days or even hours,  

I was really, extremely overjoyed with the deigns and immediately call our china suppliers to provide me their collections, here are few of the MURAL'S  collection from our wonderful supplier, I'm actually on process of selecting the best design….. WHAT do you think???

Anyway, been sooooo freaking busy lately,  lottas holiday in Kuwait and I was assigned to facilitate our company’s open , it was indeed an experience!!  Such a short notice but In God’s grace and miracle it turn out to be an affair to remember, it’s a blast….

So I would like to thank my dear friends and the rest of the crew for the job well done!!! AMAZING!!!

Just a short history of what I’ve been doing lately, as I mentioned Company’s open day is a bit stressful for me but it’s all worth it, then, I have the sudden change of house interior that drastically makes my hubby go mad but happy of the result!!...  My son’s homework and sports day..YEAH!!!....  Been in the salon for my new hair cut and color, I cannot believe how many of my officemate react to the extreme seeing me in a new cut!!! GOSSSSHHHHH….
