SEXY BODY :]

HOW TO LOOK SEXY

a.Get clean.Feeling and looking clean is crucial. Wash with a nice smelling body soap three times with a bathing sponge and it will smell great. Get out and pat yourself dry with a towel, and rub in some rich body lotion. You need to be soft and able to cuddle at all times (do not neglect your hands, elbows, and feet). If possible try to layer matching scents on your body, such as soap, lotion, powder, and perfume. For example if you bathe with a citrus smelling body soap, try to wear a citrus-smelling lotion also.
b.Practice good dental hygiene as well, this includes brushing, flossing and even mouth wash. Get a check up and have your teeth cleaned often. Invest in a good toothbrush, waterpick, and mouthwash. Always keep mints or breath spray on hand.
c.Get groomed. Work with what you've got. But keep it neat and tidy! Trim finger and toe nails weekly, remembering to clean under the nail. No fancy nail polish colors are needed, but a simple beige color can play down any nail discoloration.
d.Style your hair. Make a trip to the hair salon. A new cut or style will make you feel sexy and confident. Having a change of hair color is nice, too.
e.Create winning skin. Do a steam facial maybe once a week for up to 10 minutes, to open up your pores and get rid of blackheads and acne. To do this, get a bowl of boiling water and a towel, and just sit with your face in the steam, using the towel as a little tent/mini sauna over your head and the bowl.
f.Show your style.:
*Invest in a good pair of curve-hugging jeans. Dark denim looks good on all body types. Jeans are the ultimate sexy accessory when paired with a tank top or baby tee.
*Pick some clothes that flatter your figure and that you feel comfortable in.
*Black is sexy. It hides fat rolls, creates curves and makes you feel like a goddess.
g.Wear make-up. Just make sure not to go overboard -- subtle is very sexy. Accent one feature at a time! For example, one day, put on lip-liner, bold red lipstick, and mascara.
f.Get in shape. Create a workout plan. Crunches/Lunges equal flat, hard ab muscles, lunges equal toned legs, and squats equal a toned backside. Running or jogging works all muscles of the body and increases your stamina. Plus, the hormones your body releases while exercising carry on through your evening activities to contribute to your new sexy attitude.

TiPS :

• More than anything, BE YOURSELF. Being sexy is about being confident and comfortable.



• Be relaxed. For real. Uncertainty and fear tends to have an aura. Don't worry and enjoy yourself.



• It doesn’t matter if you're larger than most girls. You don't have to look like everyone else to be beautiful.



• Posture has a lot to do with being sexy as well. If you feel confident and walk tall, everyone else will think so too. Keep your shoulders back, and walk with a bit of a strut.



• Drink plenty of water each day -- it'll help your skin, your diet, and help you feel great!



• Wear black! Nothing increases sex appeal like the color black. Just dab on some black eyeliner, eyeshadow and/or kohl.

DON'T:
Don't overdo it. It is always obvious when someone tries too hard.

One way to look sexy is to have a great body. So let's talk about "diet".

***Why do people prefer to be thin?

For me, people wanted to be thinner than to be fat because being thin puts away the insecurities they have. I already experienced to be so fat. People will keep on teasing you until you cry. People, whom you don’t even know will name you with different terms such as baboy, tabachoy and taba. I can still remember when my mother got mad to a tricycle who called me baboy. Because I am not a pig, I am a person. Being teased just because of your size is really difficult. Well, you cannot blame them, coz you’re really fat. There was also several times when we went for a shopping. Even though I have the money to buy what I want, I cannot buy them. I cannot buy the clothes and jeans that I want because those don’t fit on me.There is also one time when my teacher didn’t let me join the contest that I want because I’m fat. During that time, I felt so sad. There, I realized that being fat is a big discrimination.

***Is there something wrong from being fat?

Well I can say that being fat is not a crime nor a sin. So, why do some people hate and discriminate people with a big size. Is there something wrong with fat people? Well I think the wrong is with the people who discriminates. Besides, a fat person can be thin. That’s why, I decided to have a diet.

***What is diet?

My teacher in TLE girls, Ma’am Nida Lascota, told us that diet is not losing weight. Ma’am said the she had observed a mistake that we often commit. We often say that I’m on a diet. But diet is the kinds of food that a person, animal, or community habitally eats. But for us, we define diet as a special course of food to which we restricts to loose weight.

So for short, "our diet” is lessening our food intake. Diet is an activity which aims to make us thinner. Now, I have some tips that will help to loose weight.

***Here are the tips:

1. It should star with you. Put into your mind that you are thin. Don’t say, “I am fat!”, just say “I’m thin.”. “I am not fat.” is different from “I am thin.” Remember that you are like a blank canvass. You’ll be the one to draw the image that you want the other people to see in you.

2. Avoid carbohydrates. There are two types of carbohydrates, the sugar and the flour. For the sugar, you should avoid sweets. Avoiding sweets will also keep you away from diabetes. Next is the flour, go away from rice, pasta, potato and the like. For short, don’t eat a large quantity of carbohydrates.

3. Don’t drink any liquid with color. If you want to get thin, the safest drink for you is water. Because water is a pure and it is not compose of sugar or any artificial flavors.

4. Don’t eat and drink cold foods and cold drinks.

5. Don’t eat a lot of food. In loosing weight, you should implement small frequent meals. Small frequent meals are easier to digest.

6. After eating, don’t lie down. After eating, just sit or stand up.

7. If you are bored, make moving as your hobby.

8. Exercise. If there is a certain part of your body which you want to get thin, then you should exercise that certain part.

***Note that if you’re on a diet, you should also think of yourself. You might be sick or worst, die.

PROJECT FEVER !

Can't finish projects in time? -It's the end of the deadline and you're juggling for your projects due at around same time. Instead of freaking out and not really getting anything done, why don't you face the challenge and get a head start? YES, YOU CAN! Get organized ! Once the teacher gives a project, break it up into small, double tasks distributed within in realistic time frame. In other words, create a production schedule! Just make sure that each task is small enough for you not to get overwhelmed. For instance, make Day 1 a research day, where you just have to gather all your resources. Be creative about it, so as not to make things monotonous, Remember, the trick is to take ONE STEP AT A TiME. :)

I only have one tip for those project fevers, and that is-proper time management. Time is gold, we should use every second of our life wisely. If you know that you have a lot of projects, then don’t waste time. NOW is the best time to start doing those projects. If you will think that there’s still tomorrow, do it now because today is yesterday’s tomorrow. It’s really hard to rush on things; rushed projects are just 20% presentable. Planner can help for you to plan when, where or how to do your projects.Remember that God will not let us suffer all of these projects without a purpose.Actually, we should not suffer all of these projects, we should enjoy doing them. Manage your time wisely. So if you want to have a high grade and good output, do it NOW.

ENEMiES

I admit. I’ve done it. I’ve demonized someone that I didn’t take the chance to get to know. All because I was jealous. Guilty as charged.

It’s just that, the first sight of these pretty little things flipping their perfect little hair in the direction of your boyfriend is sure to annoy you. Once introduced, they will grate on your nerves with their lilting laughs and coy innuendo. Already aggravated, any further interaction only results in them pushing all your buttons. Or at least, seeming to do so. Instinctively, you will set off on a warpath to obliterate her.

I’ve realized, though, that the key to keeping your relationship hassle- and jealousy-free is not to destroy the girl who threatens you. What you need to do is make an about-face and take on the biggest of all battles your relationship with your guy. If he’s happy and you’re happy and your relationship is strong, the Other Girl can flutter her lashes all she wants and she wouldn’t stand a chance.

I could be wrong, but what has probably got you so riled up is not so much that she’s Evil Incarnate but that you and the Other Girl are so alike that you’re scared your guy will trade one for the other. The way I see it, if you keep yourself happy and keep him happy, he won’t ever do a double take.

Enemies? I got some enemies before. But I changed my lifestyle now, I hate to have enemies. But some people still force me. With that case, I can no longer do something about it but revenge. I believe that revenge has never been so sweet. But I only have one kind of revenge, and that is the thing that I call “passive resistance”. Passive resistance, wherein I’m just gonna ignore all the things that they’re doing to me. For I believe that silence is the best revenge. At the end, it’s not my lost; it’s the lost of the bootless people around me who are always doing their best to put me down. I know that I am who I am, their approval isn’t needed. At the other hand, they should not judge me base on their ignorance. I don’t live to please them. That’s all. But I’m happy to say that I’m a good girl now! hehe :-)

WATCH YOUR WORDS

Sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me.

Or so they say. But in this age of text messaging and Internet blogging, gossiping that once-harmless pastime enjoyed by miserly spinsters on lazy afternoons over cups of tea has ridden the wave of the future and taken a turn for the worse. Hushed speculations that used to be kept within the confines of sets of friends are now widely publicized fodder for everyone. And in this viral age, you dont have to be a celebrity to be gossiped about on the Internet. It could happen to anyone, as it happened to me.

The worst thing about it is that it is so public. When before, the gossipee could live her whole life not knowing that everyone thought she was a (insert derogatory comment here), now its broadcasted for the whole world, and even the gossipee, to see. That the population thinks youre fat/nerdy/uncool/unpretty could all just be a click of a mouse away. The second worst thing about it is that it is so permanent. At least in the past, gossip, however terrible, was just passed from mouth to ear to mouth to ear. Now, if you're branded on the Internet, you're branded for life. Your only hope would be that the blogger or forum-administrator who comfortably hides under a pseudonym would delete the entry entirely. Then again, if he/she was malicious enough to namecall or start a rumor about you in the first place, it would be foolish to expect any concessions from that person that would reverse the damage done.

And so you try and do what you can but there aren't a lot of options. You can ignore it, with no effect; or you can try and fight back, in vain. The most you can do, really, is blog about the truth yourself but you must understand that the one who draws first blood calls the shots. She has the shock factor on her side while your feeble attempts are easily misconstrued as damage control a way to make the sordid claims a little less embarrassing, a lot more palatable.

You must really watch your words. Many of the people are just simply bidding words. Some people aren’t even thinking if what they are talking about. Some people are already hurting other people. Some of the things that they are talking are no longer true. We call that “gossip”. Gossip can destroy reputation and life. Gossip is bad not just to the 3rd person, but also to the speaker and listener. As they say, “watch your words.” Instead on spreading gossip, why don’t spread the word of God? Sounds corny right? But even though it’s corny, there’s nothing wrong with it. It’s not a sin. Actually, it’s a good deed. We are blessed with the ability to say what we want to say(freedom of speech), the gift of hearing, the knowledge about God, and the power to spread it. We are so blessed for having all of these, but there are some who don’t know God yet. Let’s share our gift with them.

Catechism

I can still remember when Ma’am Haidee told me that I’m going to be one of the highschool catechists. When I heard that, the first thing that came to my mind is that this is really what I want. I knew that I’ll be enjoying giving catechism to the children of Dalumpinas Este. To prepare us, we had a camping, the SWAP or Summer With A Purpose. We also had some meetings and briefing for the preparation. My partner catechist is Ate Harlyn. Ate Harlyn is kind and intelligent. When we were about to start the catechism, some questions and uncertainties had risen in my mind. Question like, “who will be the people that I’ll be meeting there?”, “will they like us?”, “will they appreciate us?”, “will they listen to us?”, “am I really ready?”. Then when were already there, I was surprised because there are many kids inside the health center. I’m also thankful because of their very warm welcome to us. Then I was so happy that when were already teaching, all the kids are so active and attentive. But one of the kids terribly surprised me with his lizard, hehehe! After my first experience of teaching those kids, I really felt happy. I’m happy that I somehow touched the lives of those children, happy that I helped those children to be closer to God, happy to know that I brought a big smile on their lips, and lastly, I’m happy because I experienced to be a teacher for a while. Also, I shared the gift that God has given to me.

LOVE

Love is a strange thing. It can be the most amazing feeling in the world, or it can really hurt, but in the end love is something most, if not all of us, will face. While there are many different ways to define love and there are many different ways to love someone (even yourself), here is a general guide to loving.

WAYS TO SHOW YOUR LOVE :
*Say it. When you say the words "I Love You", they should carry with them the desire to show someone that you love them, not what you simply want to feel. *Empathize. Put yourself in someone else's shoes. *Love unconditionally. If you cannot love another person without attaching stipulations, then it is not love at all, but deep-seated opportunism (one who makes the most of an advantage, often unmindful of others).
*Expect nothing in return. Try loving just for the sake of love. Realize that someone may have a different way of showing his or her love for you, do not expect to be loved back in exactly the same way.
*Realize it can be lost. If you realize that you can lose the one you love, then you have a greater appreciation of what you have. Think how lucky you are to have someone to love.
---- A person can be said to love a country, principle, or goal if they value it greatly and are deeply committed to it. Similarly, compassionate outreach and volunteer workers' "love" of their cause may sometimes be borne not of interpersonal love, but impersonal love coupled with altruism and strong political convictions. People can also "love" material objects, animals, or activities if they invest themselves in bonding or otherwise identifying with those things. --- SOME LOVE QUOTES: **love is not controlled by feelings. It does not do anything and everything it feels, rather in true love the feelings are under the control of principle. **you can't make people love you forever. All you can do is show them who you are and what you feel. And its up to them to realize your worth

The love that my partner mentioned is the “erotic love”. Now, I will also say something about love. But this time, it’s all about “my love”. And my “love” is dancing!

Dancing as “My LOVE”

The Oxford dictionary defined dancing as an activity for pleasure in order to entertain others. Well, I define dancing as love. I know that I’m not that great when it comes to dancing, but dancing is my passion. I just can’t explain why I came to love it this much. Dancing is a very beneficial activity. It serves as an enjoyable exercise. I consider it enjoyable because there is something which drives me up and down, left and right everytime I move with the beat of the music. It’s also helpful in our health. For obvious reasons, it’s an exercise which can help us in loosing calories and produce sweat. Apart from having a good health, it can also help us to bring out the dancing skills which is inside ourselves. Before, I really don’t know how to dance. It had been so hard for me to dance. But I tried and tried until one day I discovered that I can also be a dancer. Dancing also brought me a lot of great and memorable experiences. I can still remember when I was always being rejected by my elementary teachers when it comes to dancing. But when I already reach highschool, I already had a lot of experiences. In dancing, there I met some of my friends. One day came when I realized that dancing is already part of my life. Humbly speaking, I know that even though some people hate the way I dance, some people still appreciate me. Well, I’m not really great in dancing. It’s just that everytime I’m dancing, I always think that it’s the last performance of my life, that’s why I’m already putting all of my effort there. And I’m also considering my parents, all of my performances are for them, because I want them to be proud of me even though they’re not watching.

Here are my unforgettable experiences:
-when we hike a mountain just to reach an fm studio
-when we don’t have a place to practice
-when I got lost looking for the other dancers
-when we were so happy eating (because Iyah’s family prepared a lot of delicious foods.hehe)
-when my father scolded me because I went home late, very very late
-when I became a part of the dance troupe for a very short period of time
-those times when my adviser is getting mad because we always commit a mistake

-during those times when we’re so hopeless then all of the sudden, we still win
-when I had my recital this summer under Ma’am Perez
-and a lot lot lot more!


Dancing really brought me tons of happiness. If I can dance, then you can also dance. Remember “If you can talk, you can sing. If you can walk, then you can dance.”
