I'm Beautiful and I Know It

These thoughts have been in the deepest corner of my brain that eventually traveled to my heart so I'm letting it all off through this post. Uunahan na kita ha, if you are a hater in disguise and plans to roll eyes the entire time reading this eh tigil na. Click the x now. Exit. Shoo-shoo, bawal ang nega vibes sa aking palasyo.

Alright, game.

There are times when I'm #GGSS; for my non-nakikiuso readers, it's gandang-gandang sa sarili. It usually happens when I'm freshly showered and fascinatingly admiring my face in the mirror. Hehe. Aminin niyo, you have reached that point in your lives din minsan. Yung iba nga madalas eh: may isang album sa Facebook ng selfies. Haha! Iiwasan ko na silang i-judge, promise. Pero nawiwindang talaga ako sa mga kabataan ngayon. Kahit saan masandal eh aanggulo at magse-selfie with super duper pa-cute face. Oh well, dumaan din ako sa ganung stage --- even in my late 20s. Eto ang ilan.

Hey, banyo shot! May batang tulog pa sa background. Lol.
Pero alam niyo ba, I also have those times when I feel a tad weird about myself. Not naman ugly ha, unconventionally beautiful siguro. Hehe. At naiisip ko na kamukha ko ata siya.

Or minsan naman siya.

Tapos nakikita ko minsan ang pagtanda ko sa kanya. Hay.

Do you agree? Oo?! Letch. Hahahahahaha! Wait, there's more! I have a former colleague who told me I look like her.

Shemay, bakit puro ma-cheek bones at medyo pinagkaitan ng nose bridge ang mga doppelgänger ko?!? Para kaming isang pamilya. Bwahahaha! Speaking of doppelgänger, nauso yun sa FB nung February eh. I'm practically a confident woman but I didn't join the bandwagon of posting a photo of a famous celebrity on my personal FB account that I feel that I look like. Hindi kasi ako makapili kung si Dessa ba or Sheryn Regis. So I asked that in my fan page instead. Aba, huwag ka! May bonggelz na reader ako na itago na lang natin sa pangalan na Marianne Torres na gumawa ng collage with me and my kaloka-like. Dyaraaaaan!

Nahiya ako ng slight pero feel na feel ko yan sa totoo lang. Ahihi. Sa mga fans ni Iza Calzado, don't get mad at me ha, hindi ako ang nagsabi niyan, si Marianne (labyu muther haha). Siya yung tinoyo nung gabi na yan. Pero in fairness ha, 2nd na siyang nagsabi na hawig ko sa photo na yan si Lady Mystique. It must be the make-up. May contouring sigurong naganap. Magawa nga ulit yang make-up na yan 'pag may time.

But come to think of it, bakit kailangang ibang tao pa makakita ng taglay kong ganda? Yanehhh. I mean, bakit hindi mismo ako? Bakit hindi ko makitang maganda pala ako? May aaminin ako guys ha, the more I see myself as not beautiful, the more I judge other people. I realized that self-depreciation could also mean that we are also capable of hurting anybody by spreading negative vibes. Alam ko naman na may mga taong pinanganak na hindi kasing-fresh ni Julia Barretto or hindi kasing elegantly beautiful tulad ni Duchess Kate. Pero alam niyo ba? Depende talaga sa tumitingin yan. Like ako, meron kasi akong kinaiinisan na fezlak ever eh. As in nuknukan sa --- oops. Basta, hindi ko bet. Hindi bet ng asawa ko or ng mga friends ko na nakakakilala sa kanya. Pero sa pamilya niya, sa mga kaibigan niya, maganda siya. Lalo siguro para sa sarili niya. Yun naman ang importante di ba? What's my point? Bait-baitan? Perpekto? Wit! 

It's cliché but it's true: your beauty radiates from within. So next time that you think you look ugly, feed your soul first with things that make you happy.
You'll be shocked at how your eyes can sparkle without the help of expensive mascara. It's sappy, I know! But that's how we should live life. Pretending to be cool won't make us go further noh. O tara, sabay-sabay tayo: "I'm beautiful and I know it!" Pak.

  3. First ever visit in your blog. Never did dahil alam kong duduguin ilong ko o tatawa ako ng tatawa na mauuwi sa magko-comment ako ng magko-comment tas mauuwi sa no reply na dahil maka-comment ako, di manawa. Haha. Here goes Mader D. (To be honest it came across me when I read your IG post, never tried visiting it before kahit na ilang beses mo na kong sinabihan haha because it talks mainly and most of the time about family life and lifestyle which you know kinda breaks my heart alam mo naman. Baka nga mahuli na talaga ko sa altar. See ang haba at dami kong sinasabi di pa organized thoughts ko. Haha)

    Anyway, I agree and high five to the honesty.
    Aesthetics is relative. Charaught sa term.
    And ask ourselves this question only, "Am I beautipul or am I beautipul?" Kebs na side comments ng iba yun naman uso ngayon. Kidding aside, your posts (well, mostly in FB for that matter haha) never seizes to amaze me or make me laugh. Humorous, witty and with a touch of bekiness. I've learned my lesson and gonna start reading your blog from now on, which now confuses me kung dalawa nga ba talaga blog mo o dala lang ng imahinasyon ko yon? Sorry na di techy sa account linkings. Haha.

    Miss ya mader! Like I've dami kong sinasabi maka-comment lang. Haha. Bakla ako ng taon.
