On Being Be-YOU-tiful

        WHAT MAKES YOU BEAUTIFUL

BY ONE DIRECTION

You're insecure
Don't know what for
You're turning heads when you walk through the door
Don't need make up
To cover up
Being the way that you are is enough

Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you

[Chorus]
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it aint hard to tell
You don't know
Oh Oh
You don't know you're beautiful

If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh
That what makes you beautiful

So c-come on
You got it wrong
To prove I'm right I put it in a song
I don't know why
You're being shy
And turn away when I look into your eyes

Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you

[Chorus]
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it aint hard to tell
You don't know
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful

If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh
That's what makes you beautiful

[Bridge]
Nana Nana Nana Nana
Nana Nana Nana Nana
Nana Nana Nana Nana

Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it aint hard to tell
You don't know
Oh Oh
You don't know you're beautiful

[Chorus]
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it aint hard to tell
You don't know
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful

If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
Oh Oh
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh
That's what makes you beautiful.

While inside the jeepney this afternoon the blaring volume of a well-known song What Makes You Beautiful by the famous One Direction was being played.  Thanks to this group of  hunky!  It was a chill afternoon! (",)

"You're insecure
Don't know what for
You're turning heads when you walk through the door
Don't need make up
To cover up
Being the way that you are is enough..."

Most women think that beauty whirl around such things as rebonded and newly permed hair, branded cosmetics, having white complexion, long and coloured hair, revealing and sexy outfit like wearing short shorts, all those things that we can see and obsess over in the mirror. But the fact is that, beauty isn't some superficial pursuit, and it's not some fluky feat that you can thank or curse your ancestors for.  It sounds funny that women can be vain most of the times.  Let's face it, when one of our colleagues or acquaintances will give us a compliment like, "Oh, you look so beautiful today!" What is the common response? It's either a humble acceptance of saying, "Oh, thank you, I take it as a compliment." Or simply, "Thank you." But unhappy to hear the others would respond this way, "Really??!" or "Di ngah ang panget pangeeet ko nga e!" (No I'm not! I look so ugly!) If there's one person who discriminate yourself it's you.  I believe those women who can't appreciate themselves and others, have bowls of insecurities in life  that eventually make them look hideous. (hehehe)  If you can  hardly accept who you are because you think you are not beautiful and perfect, I want you to remember this....

A WOMAN is a masterpiece designed by our Creator. 

Every WOMAN is beautiful.  So true, as every woman is beautiful in her own way, but what makes a woman stand out from the others and makes her truly beautiful?  I begged asking that question to different women who by choice are my admirable, canny and exquisite friends  and gathered a lot of their insights.

   "I am so fortuitous because I have met these beautiful and wonderful women in my journey. They are not celebrities, they are ordinary women of this generation. But the way they carry themselves and deal with life as a daughter, as a mom, as a wife,  as a career woman, as a sister and as a  friend they are more than the famous stars!"  I would like to whispher my sweet wishes  for you....
"May our loving God continue to bless you and your family with good heart, good health and good life."

WHAT MAKES A WOMAN BEAUTIFUL?

 

      "It is said that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. But still, I think, there are certain things that makes a woman beautiful. A truly beautiful woman is admired not because she needs to be, but simply because of who she is. Most beautiful woman does not spend their time comparing themselves to others or trying to copy the styles of others. They trust their sense of style and take pride in their own decisions and accomplishments.  A truly beautiful woman does not waste her time putting others down or feeling jealous; in fact, most women who are seen as really beautiful have a kind and generous heart and spirit. They often give themselves freely to those around them and take the time to stop and smell the flowers along the way.  A beautiful woman is a force to be reckoned with, not because of how she looks, but because of who she is and what she stands for." -Dianna-

"True beauty is not an outer appearance, it's located in the heart and soul, reflected in one's eyes."

 

 

 

       "After trying to figure out what you saw in me that made you think I am beautiful, I came to realize that maybe it was the way I dealt with life and with people and that is rooted from the happiness, contentment and love I feel within."  -Angie-

 

"Look beyond my eyes and see beauty.  Listen beyond my words and hear my heart.  Feel beyond my body and touch my soul."

 

"For me, being beautiful takes more than just mere physical appearance. True beauty is how a woman feels about herself on the inside. Most often we determine beauty based on the opinions of others, but for me, it is just simple, a real beautiful woman is the one who exudes confidence, self-respect & humility. A woman who pursues her own interests, she is empowered, independent with sound principles." -Annie- 

"I am proud of my flaws and mistakes, they are the building blocks of my strengths and beauty."

 

 

 "When a woman leaves her bedroom and bathroom neat and clean every day, when she prioritizes to buy something important for her parents than her make-up, when she uses her extra time reading, cooking, or exercising rather than gossiping.  Lastly, when she knows how to make her man happy." (",) -Lea-

"While you only see the seed within you, I see the the flower blooming."

   

  

 "Every woman in the world wishes to be beautiful. But in reality, what really makes a woman beautiful? It is having a good personality, a sense of humor that flatters everyone and a face that can launch a thousand ships. Being beautiful is not just seen on the physical aspect of a woman it's more on the personality that counts.  The inner beauty that radiates from inside and out.   It is the character itself....the goodness of it, not just being the best!" -Cristina-

 

"The real beauty of a person comes from standing tall for what you believe in and showing confidence in yourself that you can make a difference."

 

 

           "If she keeps her mind and eyes open, makes wise decisions and puts her confidence in everything. Even if she does not have physically appealing attributes, but still has a wonderful personality, a warm, kind and a beautiful heart. It is an inner thing and cannot be recognized by looking at her expensive dresses or make-up. Respects herself and has lovely personality, caring, natural and healthy.  If she has positive attitude and approach. She should be polite, soft spoken and able to prove herself right, a vital role in making woman truly beautiful. Lastly, if she is aware of her true potentials."   -Mida-

 

 

"It is good to have a beautiful mind, but an even greater gift is to discover a beautiful heart."

   

"Believing that one is beautiful makes her really beautiful.  It is something that comes from within that eventually comes out and becomes noticeable and observed by others.  A beautiful woman has the confidence and carries herself naturally and can go even without make up.  Happiness and satisfaction in life, free from stress helps one feel beautiful." -Anna-

"There is one thing you can never take from a woman, her beauty."

 

 

 

        "A  woman is  beautiful when she walks down the aisle on her wedding day with her smile that makes her glow even more. She is more beautiful when she becomes a mother and carries her child with a smile and tears of joy. She is the most beautiful  when her children grows up and tells  the whole world that the most beautiful woman in the world is their mother." -Ling-

 

 

 "Good looks fade but a good heart keeps you beautiful forever."

 

 

"Outer body and inner beauty go hand in hand. Even those blessed with all the "right" physical can be objectional if they lack internal depths to support their genetic looks.  Inner beauty is less about what you see when you look at a person and more about how you feel when you are around a person. You feel safe, calm, inspired and connected in the presence of a beautiful spirit." -Leng-

 

  

"Beauty gets the eyes but personality gets attention." 

 

  

 

 "The beauty of a woman is not the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. It must be seen from her eyes because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. When a woman is healthy she has an attractive glow.  In Ilocano, “Ti kinapintas ti maysa nga babai saan la a ti langa wenno ti physical nga anyo na, no di ket di ti kinapintas ti pinagpuspuso na ken pinag ug ugali na. Uray man no napintas tay maysa nga babae no nalaad met ti ugali na ket naalas to latta.” -Ghen-

 

"We are like a snowflake, all different in our own way."

 

 

"It is not the physical appearance that matters but the character.  A woman can be beautiful if she deals well  with  people.  When a woman does good things to others that is something that will never fade and that absolutely makes her beautiful .  Unlike some women I know, they focus more on the outside beauty, they spend too much on cosmetics to make themselves beautiful, it is a kind of beauty that fades.  For me,  when you live your life with meaning, that's the kind of beauty that will never fade." -Cherry-
 

"Believing that you're beautiful is the first step to understanding your worth as a woman."

 

"What makes a woman really beautiful is when she feels she is beautiful:-) I believe that we are fearfully and wonderfully made by God as to what the Bible says. I am so grateful for what God gave me, the way He made me, and the kind of life He gave me are great blessings from him. I believe that if a woman is grateful for what the Lord gave her, then everything follows. She will feel contented and blessed for who she is,  for what she has, and  her attitude and outlook in life. Then she will  always feel beautiful." -Roda-

  

"No one can be more beautiful than someone else, because everyone has their own kind of beauty."

 

"A beautiful woman foremost is one who is secure and comfortable in her own skin, confident yet humble, driven and ambitious and has an upright moral conscience, intelligent, unique, quirky, who can smile and laugh and clap her hands makes her really beautiful.  Try to manage stress, it is how you deal with it. In reality, beauty really is in the eye of the beholder." -Reneerose-

 

"I'm beautiful in my own way because God makes no mistakes."

 

"A woman is beautiful when she has a personal relationship with God, for the love that she has from within will radiate to the people around her." -Bless-

 

  

 

"The most beautiful woman is the one who is comfortable just being herself."

 

 

 "A woman's beauty goes much deeper than the physical appearance.True and finest beauty is how a woman feels about herself on the inside.  Believing that you are beautiful is worth more than all the colored materials and even beauty treatments the world could offer.  A woman who is beautiful has a confidence and a way of carrying herself that goes far beyond what others see on the outside.  It is something that cannot be replicated.It consists of an inner knowledge of knowing that you are worth attention and admiration.  When a woman is well-loved, beauty reflects in her personality.  A big grin and a smile is seen on face whatever feeling you have inside.  You don't even waste time putting others down or feeling jealous:).  Women who are seen as really beautiful have a kind and generous heart and spirit.  True and simple beauty shines like a beacon from the inside out and it is easily seen by all that sees it."  -Rochelle-

 

"It's not the clothes that make you look beautiful.  It's YOU that makes the clothes look beautiful."

 

 

      "A woman becomes beautiful for what she is, not only for the way she looks. Her strength of character, her intelligence, her wit defines the now stronger women -- no longer a secondary citizen. Her charisma, gentleness, kindness gives out the softness that she, however, embodies. She is confident, comfortable in her own skin, and humbly works her way to being a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a co-worker and all roles attributed to her. A beautiful woman knows how to take care of herself and her body, being presentable can go a long way,too! She is all these and more...! Only the figure can be trimmed, because a woman's BEAUTY is just FULL of everything!" -Lei- :)

 

 

 

 

"Beauty is not having a pretty face, it is about having a pretty mind, heart and soul."

 

 

 

 

 

 "Happiness makes a woman beautiful. Nothing can beat a wonderful smile you give to anyone when you are happy. Although, challenges come our way, take them as opportunities to learn from life. With that, happiness can spur even in the darkest moments of it. We have to learn to see the worth and beauty of simple things, be grateful and count our blessings. More happiness will surely come our way if we live simply. Be happy to gain beauty!" -Dulce-

 

"Smiling is definitely one of the best beauty remedies.  If you have a good sense of humor and a good approach to life, that's being beautiful."

 

 

 

 

   

 "A woman who has an aura of decisiveness and friendliness is beautiful. Someone who carries a genuine smile that reaches the eyes. A woman whose love for her family is bigger than her love for herself. Even if stripped by fancy trinkets and when expensive make-up comes off a woman with great personality will radiate natural beauty. A woman who acts naturally and doesn’t pretend she's someone else.  A woman who equals a man's sense of humor." -Eins-
 

  

"A beautiful woman is the one who never compare herself with others because what others have doesn't make her feel insecure."

"YOU ARE MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN YOU THINK."
(dove.com/realbeautysketches)

"When your heart is filled with so much "ragsak" there is no reason for you not to be beautiful.  Happiness is more than an embellishment, it is more than the beauty that we get from an expensive fancy treatments and it is more than a skin-deep.  Beauty is health and happiness. Remember: Happy and healthy women are the most beautiful." (",)

 

A beautiful woman

 uses her lips for truth

 her voice for kindness

 her ears for compassion

  her hands for charity

 her heart for love

 For those that don't like her

she uses prayer.
