Be all what you have to be

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

There is a male celebrity here in our country who made a total transformation. After admitting in a local show here about his sexuality, he did some gay roles. At first, he was not yet resorting to cross dressing. In one awards night though, he appeared wearing a woman’s dress. During the interview, he said that it was just a preparation for a movie. That was it until…

He went to a foreign country and studied modeling for three months. Last week, he arrived and announced in national TV that his old persona is dead and he is now a woman. Would you believe his chosen name? My pen name here~ BB!

Anyways, he/she was fun to watch. I searched through YouTube his interviews and he seemed like a beauty queen the way he answered the questions. He had mentioned the phrase,”Be all what you have to be”. It makes sense. Funny though when one very articulate and bookworm TV host actually told him that the phrase was a US military slogan? Be all what you have to be. You are we need in the military.

This local celebrity is really making waves here in our country. I hope it lasts and may he be an inspiration to others. As long as he is happy and not stepping at anyone’s foot, then let him be!

Keep a healthy mind through good conversations

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

We should also keep our minds as healthy as our body. Healthy mind, healthy body, perfect combination. How do you keep a healthy mind? How do you exercise your brain? Reading is one of the best choices. Well, it could be reading an actual book or through your e-book reader, surfing the net, and others. Doing some crossword puzzles and mind games could also make those gray matter work. Watching is also a good exercise because we could also get some new information by watching videos or even watching films. Well, to keep your mind healthy is not always about making it think but also giving it some form of relaxation. How about combining working and relaxation? Well, good conversations could give that. Talking with someone about anything under the sun has always been a therapy for me. We learn from each other. We make each other laugh. We argue at one point. Then, compromise. All elements are in!

So, you do not like reading? Talk with someone!

Walk, bond and loose some weight

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

Walk, bond and loose some weight. How are the three related? Well, it is written in many books that walking is the best exercise. Sometimes, we all find excuses, lots of them in doing some physical activity. It is tiring and the most famous one~ I do not have time.

You do not have to take exercise seriously. That makes it harder. Make it into something inspiring like an opportunity to bond with a friend or a lovedone. Instead of watching TV after dinner, why not take a walk around the village? It is also like having a breath of fresh air. You know, some enclosed energy would be freed. Make sure to keep the positive ones.

Start one step at a time. You do not have to start big. Especially if you are still a baby to the idea. A ten minute walk could be a good start. Hold hands while walking maybe, oh, that could be romantic. Enjoy the beauty of your surroundings or just be aware. Who knows, you could also contribute to your community just in case that you would notice some things that need improvement. There are really lots of possiblities.

So, start today. I will, tonight. I am excited!

Hair color and black snow flakes

Monday, January 5th, 2009

It is time again to color her hair. Oh, people really age that fast. Not everyone could hide it. Blessed are those who are blessed with better genes meaning being able to stay younger than their real age. Is that really possible? Oh, I know a couple who are more than a decade apart in age , the man being the older but he managed to keep younger and sometimes even younger than her wife. I guess, it is a matter of perspective… or should I say, beauty products to be used.

She has been having this problem with her hair. At 36 years old, she feels she is already a grandmother. Yeah, that is one of the source of her insecurities besides her weight.

So, she is wearing black hair now and it decreased her age by about five years? Well, the magic of that product! However, as she combed her hair, she noticed black flakes falling at her yellow shirt. What was that? Is it not supposed to be white? Thus, she proved that those big D’s that has been her another problem for the longest time could not really be washed away by shampoo and conditioner at once. I wonder how those clung to the scalp.

Dandruff is not actually always caused by poor hygiene. Is it actually a curse? Kidding aside, it could be because of stress. Yes, it is the big S again! Along with other affectations caused by stress like the distressful constipation, ulcer, migraine and others. So, does it mean that she would not be dandruff free? I hope she would be victorious over this. Any suggestions? Well, the dermatologist’s advise was not that helpful. I think it is more than dandruff but a hair follicle condition. It was just my theory because I saw that her eyebrows had white flakes too especially during cold seasons.

5 tips to make life better

Sunday, January 4th, 2009

Many people had died during the Holidays. They said that it may be due to over eating and over drinking or stress. I know two persons who died on their sleep last December 31, 2008. It must be really painful for the families they had left behind especially it is New Year’s Eve. But really, all of us will die and do not know when, where and how. The only consistent thing is no one would live on this earth forever.

We have a choice though to make our life here on earth better. We could live a clean life literally and symbolically.

I am not in the position to preach because I myself am struggling to make my life better in all aspects.

Many of us have made our resolutions for the New Year, I suppose. I wish you all good luck and may all of those be realized.

I was able to watch a local movie last night and I learned something from it. Yes, you could use this guideline if you want:

1. Set your goals
2. Start today
3. Work hard for it
4. Have an inspiration
5. Be Happy
