Your Beauty Lies Within You

"Flowers don’t worry about how they’re going to bloom. They just open up and turn toward the light and that makes them beautiful.”
– Jim Carrey

Flower is the finest masterpiece in the world and finest gift to the mankind. Its beauty shines, and attracts our sight. Its soft and beautiful petal touches our skin. Its sweet and unique fragrance gives heavenly smell. But who would thought flowers have distinctive meanings to out lives?

Flower, like our life, blooms when it's ready. It signifies a whole new beginning and provides a great opportunity. But as flower shine beautifully, it will face a lot of difficulties and problems. In fact, it is vulnerable to danger, risk and trouble so as our life. Regardless of the risks a flower may encounter, it will turn into a audacious, passionate and radiant creation.

Flower, like our life, withers when it's already accomplished its aim. No matter how stunning the flower is, it'd still dry-up and fade its beauty so as our physical attributes. We can't use any products to cover the changes, for the reason that it will remain visible. Flower can wilt any moment but as we put our love and care, it will bloom for what seems like forever. 

When we wake up and see a single piece or bunch of flowers, sometimes it reminded us that these aren't just flowers, these are more than that. With their natural beauty, comforting presence, and symbolic meaning, we can determine its significance to us.

To the people who kept on saying there's no hope for them, just think how flowers grew. They have limited time to shine. But when they shine? They flaunt their beauty no matter what. We have a lot of time, show your own uniqueness, worth and purpose. Remember, your beauty lies within you.

Litrato ni Andy G. Zapata Jr. December 10, 2007 Badjao: Ang Sapilitang Panlilimos Inilathala nina Gayle Maritana at Renzel Perey  Nakatutuwang isipin na ang ilan sa atin ay gumigising na may nakahandang pagkain, timpladong gatas at may baong pera’t tanghalian. Ngunit bakit sa gitna ng kasaganaan, marami pa rin ang nagkukulang? Para sa buhay ng iba, kinakailangan na makipagsabayan sa mga rumaragasang sasakyan at humahangos na mamimili para lamang makalikom ng kakarampot na barya. Nakakalungkot isipin, ngunit ano ba ang magagawa natin? Isa ang mga Badjao sa mga hindi pinalad sa buhay. Upang makalikom ng pera, kinakailangan pa nilang bumaba ng bundok at makipagsapalaran sa mga malalaking siyudad. Sa pag-aakalang mas mapapa-ayos ang buhay, at sa paniniwalang mas mapapalayo sa karahasan at kaguluhan ay nag pakalayo-layo sa bayang kinalakihan. Gamit ang lukot-lukot na sobre, sariling gawang instrumento at talento, nagkakalaman ang kanilang gutom na sikmura at butas n...

My Avatar Description

Me and My Avatar Thursday morning, I was thinking about having an avatar but must define my personality.  I came up with this, with a simple background and exact details of my physical features and style. Basically, I chose this avatar because of the colors I used and how the clothes reflect my personality. These were  just plain designs but has something to do with my preferences. Creating minimal designs and layouts has been always my technique. In fact, this avatar was created through simplicity and minimalism style. Also, the persona of this avatar mirrors my character trait as an artist. For example, being an introvert, shy and also, my fashion statement. It is generally seen as a sign that this is feeling connected to me. Some will say, creating simple layouts would be so easy, but for me it isn't. I faced some difficulties making this avatar regardless of it being simple. For me, simplicity requires logic and systematic approach. It has to communicate...
