Does Outside Beauty Matters The Most?

The world is unfair and people were categorized by their personalities like complexion, height, etc. being beautiful and handsome is the most powerful tool to get your partner. Most of the people today are up for good-looking people – having curvy hips and six-pack abs is a must.

The world isn’t fair! People tend to be more judgmental, they actually criticize people who don’t have the beauty and fame. Some people said that being beautiful and handsome connotes fame. However, outside beauty can be a fake one, people tend to lie you because they only have the beauty inside but the inner beauty can’t lie.

The look can also be changed in many ways like having an overall cosmetic surgery. This will help you to uplift the perspectives of other people to you – like they are worshipping demigod or become an iconic symbol.

Beauty doesn’t really matter if you don’t have the inner beauty that is actually a part that most beautiful men and women are lack. Beauty does not matter if you cannot able to deal with other people in all walks of life.

Inner beauty rarely exists nowadays, that’s the reality that we should accept in this unfair world. Outside beauty may be able to stab you at the back because you are only up for their praise and accepting them within their circle.

Having a good inner personality is the most important thing so that people will love you more than your façade. It doesn’t matter who you are? What type of skin tone you have? And any types of deformities. The most important thing is your heart.

Beauty is not permanent. Once you get older, your skin will be withered, your face will get wrinkled. Outside beauty does not matter at all but also considers your good personality so that other people perceive that you were good to mingle with you and also loved you.

The Importance of Tiktok In Our Daily Lives

More and more Tiktokers are posting their videos (e.g. dancing, lip-syncing, etc.) to lessen their boredom as our country and all over the world are declaring lockdown due to Coronavirus (COVID-19).

Here in the Philippines, most of the millennials make their use of their time Tiktoking – most of them are not because they perceived that using Tiktok may lead to mental illness or being insane I am also one of them who perceived that Tiktok is bad to our mental health – but they prove them wrong.

Imagine Tiktok enhances our personality, especially our sense of humor. Tiktok also unleashes our depression because we temporarily forget our problems at work or at home.

Here are some of the most popular funny videos on Tiktok: This video is from Youtube.com.



Tiktok serves as the Gym of Our Minds. Imagine that we are talking to a mirror and we are trying to converse with them and try to figure out that life is not unfair, it’s just a roller-coaster ride of emotions that you may encounter in the near future. Feeling sad or happy is just a normal emotion that we are absorbing from our environment and that’s the ecosystem of life.

I am not promoting Tiktok but as I tried using it last week – damn I forgot that I am sick, that I have a renal disease. I am glad that I used Tiktok for a while to ease the pain that I endure during my dialysis session and during this time of lockdown due to the pandemic virus we will need this to lessen our boredom and boost our personality – but of course, unleash the pain within your heart and express it via video through Tiktok.

This will actually a big help to those depressed people who wants to talk to someone. Please tell your own thoughts on Tiktok or make yourself happy using this app. Let’s uphold our sense of humor and let our moral be boost again.

The Diary of VA – What Are The Magic Words For Success

Many people today are wondering how to be a successful person someday. No one knows their very own destiny when or where they are going to reach our very own success. Most of the people today have this perception of having a good credential in the academe to get a good job – that’s a big “no no“ to me.

I experienced discrimination when I graduated from college, I actually graduated so late but it does not matter for me, it seems so difficult to get a job right away. I am not that kind of person who has a pleasing personality because I am a big fatty loser – and with only one eye. I already knew that this perception hinders me to get hired.

But this doesn’t stop me from finding a job. Being good inside the academe will not save you from this unfair real world because. As I move forward, I did not expect to go onto this path, being a Virtual Assistance. After graduation, you will need to be resourceful or street smart so that you will know how to deal with the real world.

So is there a real magic word for success?

Some people say no or they may shrug their head. As for me, I have some magic word for success that I actually applied as a Virtual Assistant for almost a decade.

Dedication

Being a dedicated worker uplifts your moral and as well as your colleagues to work effectively. But do not expect more on your compensation but focus on your boss or client’s trust for long-term projects. Do not expect too much on the earnings but try to dig some trust to your big boss or to you client. Being greedy will not help you but at least they will see that you are the one who are suited and trusted for that job or project.

Hardwork

Being a hardworker is another magic word for success. Just like a dedicated worker, a hardworker tries to give their best to impress their boss or clients unconditionally. Being a hardworker may at least boost the morale of your boss or client to give you a bonus. But don’t expect too much just only do your job and your hardwork may pay off someday – just wait and see for yourself.

Commitment

Being committed to your task meaning you are obliged to give something to your boss or client – an output of your labor. Setting up an expectation with your boss or client is the best way to make sure that the job is done – a well-done output. This will help you to get more long-term projects.

Communication

As we have all said: “Communication is the key to success!” Communication is one of the key pointers to discuss the details of the task and even resolve errands immediately. This won’t mess up your work – this will save time for you and money for your client.

Responsible

It is also important that you are responsible to your client once you get hired as his or her Virtual Assistant so that you may assure that you will have a long-term project with them. And please, do this unconditionally, some clients are not that “easy to get” to give you a bonus. Just do your own best.

If you want to add some here on my blog, you may leave a comment below and we will discuss it. I love to know your thoughts guys.

The Panti Sisters: Movie Review

I was intrigued when I saw the trailer of The Panti Sisters on television. Imagine how Paolo Ballesteros, Martin Del Rosario, and Christian Bables portrayed as gay brothers in the movie. I wonder how the story evolves and how it was concluded.

Image from https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10637682/

The movie was produced by ABS-CBN Films and an official entry to the Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino (Filipino Film Festival). The Panti Sisters were under the direction of Jun Lana.

Synopsis Of The Story

Don Emilio y Panti (John Arcilla) has three siblings, Gabriel (portrayed by Paolo Ballesteros), Daniel (portrayed by Martin Del Rosario), and Samuel (portrayed by Christian Bables), and they are all gays. Their father, Don Emilio, called them in the mansion to announce that he has Testicular Cancer. Don Emilio told to his three siblings that he may live at least a year and a half.

Don Emilio made a decision to give his inheritance to his siblings if they will bear a child. Don Emilio also added a condition regarding how they can get their inheritance: (1) they should live in the mansion, (2) no one should act as a gay while living in Don Emilio’s mansion.

The three siblings boosted their morale to find a girl who will bear their child. And luckily, Samuel bears a child to Chiqui (Via Antonio), a lesbian, but fell in love with Samuel and later she became a nun. But in the latter part of the story, Chiqui was having a miscarriage and Don Emilio has a stoned-heart and he said that the game is still not yet over. They can bear another child anytime soon. But the three gay brothers refused to do that and left Don Emilio.

The three gay brothers made a decision to reconcile each other. But expected circumstances happened when Daniel was shot dead. During the burial, they did not see Don Emilio’s face and Gabriel and Samuel said that their father is a cold-hearted man.

But as the story goes on, Don Emilio reconciled to Gabriel and Samuel while visiting Daniel’s tomb.

Awards

The Panti Sisters was awarded three awards in the recently concluded Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino. Martin Del Rosario got the Best Actor Award; Maolen Padul won the Best Production Design, and the movie was awarded as the Audience Choice.

The Panti Sisters was nominated to several award-giving bodies.

Movie Review

This movie gave emphasis on gender sensitivity and giving the enlightenment to each and every people that gays are not a curse – it’s a gift. But this is against the teachings of the Holy Bible that God only created men and women. But this does not mean that they should not be recognized in society. This movie implies how gays were misjudged but they are also a creation of God and no one should judge them.

Even though most men said that gays are so weak but “Mas lalaki pa ang lalaki sa bakla” (“Gays are more masculine than men”). This movie emphasizes the support of the LGBT community to avoid discrimination among these groups.

This movie also emphasized the true meaning of family and forgiveness. We people are not perfect and we should humble ourselves if we did wrong to others.

The Panti Sisters also emphasize how Filipino ties are – and I am proud of it.

One Piece Stampede Movie Review

If you believe in adventure and determination, why don’t you watch One Piece Stampede? One Piece Stampede is a 2019 Japanese animated film directed by Takashi Otsuka and produced by Toei Animation. One Piece is illustrated by well-known cartoonist Eiichiro Oda.

Among other One Piece movies, this is the one that I like. I learned a lot of values and entertainment. In this blog/article, we will discuss and give some pointers to why One Piece Stampede is worth watching.

Image from https://medium.com/@onepiecestampede143/one-piece-stampede-2019-english-sub-online-7a4825379a7

September 2019 when this movie was released in the Philippines and there was a copyright issue that spread out although out social media. The issue about the well-known streamer, Akosi Dogie, recorded One Piece Stampede clips on Facebook live. According to Dogie, what he wanted to show is to “promote” the movie. ODEX, the company that distributed this movie, said that they will conduct an investigation about the issue. But until now, we don’t know if Dogie was acquitted.

Back to our review, One Piece Stampede started as the Strawhat Pirates come to Delta Island for the Pirate Fest organized by Buena Festa. Monkey D Luffy and the rest of his crews did not notice about the impending danger. Festa and the legendary pirate, Douglas Bullet, made a plan to take down all the pirated who participated in the fest. The aim of the fest to get the Eternal Log Pose to Raftel where the One Piece vested in. As the marines unveil the secret festival of the pirates, Fleet General Sakazuki of the World Government declared Buster Call. It can be recalled that Buster Call means a military attack used by Marines to destroy anything.

Luffy, Trafalgar Law, Crocodile, Smoker, and Boa Hancock made an alliance to take down Douglas Bullet. Luffy used all his powers to end Bullet by way of fist fight – Gear 4th Snakeman/Bounceman.

After I watched the movie, I feel the exhaustion in my mind to decide how Oda shows the essence of adventure as Luffy said to his crewmates: “Shortcut is too boring…” just like Gol D Roger did to the Eternal Log pose on the post-movie. Oda insists that there is no thrill if we already know our path. Do not expect what happens next because you are the only one who will create your own destiny. You have to set sail or move on with all your guts even you fail so many times and you tried to get what is your goal. Maybe not now but in the future, you will get it through your very own ability.

Another thing that I want to share with you with this movie is how Strawhat Pirates trust each other to do the task by their strength and ability. That is why Goodnews Morgan called Luffy as the 5th Emperor of the sea together with Blackbeard, Shanks, Big Mom and Kaido. I have no words to say about this movie. The quality and concept is beyond my expectations. I feel ecstatic and looking forward to more Oda’s illustration. Kudos!

Why Eiichiro Oda Is A Genius Man?

We all know that Eiichiro Oda is the author/creator of the well-known Anime and Manga, One Piece. One published in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump on July 22, 1997. Until on October 20, 1999, One Piece has been premiered on Fuji Television. One Piece is now still on the air for almost 900 episodes and manga release.

Image from Twitter.com

Going back to Oda and his creation, I, myself, believe in his intellectual capacity. Some people in One Piece forum are looking forward to One Piece. Every episode gave us excitement and moral values. Let’s talk about it is the article goes on. So I have here some honest facts and I did some personal opinion why Eiichiro Oda is a genius man.

Friendship/Nakama

Based on Oda, One Piece is an adventure series searching for the treasure around the world and seas after seas which means these include the pirates. We know that pirates, in reality, are those bandits who bring terror and rob your money or belongings. But in One Piece, Oda shows that not all pirates are bad – they can also be friends.

I remember when Nami cried to Luffy to save the Orange Town from Arlong, a Fishman/merman.

Luffy also befriended Chopper and recruited him as the doctor of the Strawhat Pirates.

Even though they have some conflicts, Luffy also befriended and recruited Franky and Usoff.

Luffy did not forget his promise to his crew/Nakama/friends after they departed on Sabaody Island.

Brotherhood

My heart was actually pinched my heart at the Marineford Arc when Ace was killed by Sakazuki. Oda spiced up the story and made a twist when Sabo was revealed and survived from an accident in the sea. Oda is a kind of writer that gave the value of brotherhood and promise to each other.

Power

We all know that all Devil Fruit users are powerful but this does not end there. Just like Gol D Roger, he is no a devil fruit user but he can fight by his own strength and his knowledge. Monkey D Dragon, Luffy’s father, uses only his strength or Haki the same as Roger’s.

Another thing about the devil fruit is that no one shall eat at least two or you will get exploded. But this is not possible to Marshall D. Teach or so-called Blackbeard. Blackbeard obtained the Yami Yami no mi or Dark-Dark Fruit. Oda gave a twist on Blackbeard’s power as he can consume another devil fruit power – which is the Tremor-Tremor fruit or Quake-Quake fruit by Whitebeard.

That was a magnificent idea that Oda has ever made and we are so excited how he will spice up the story.

Strawhat Pirate’s Death

There are some speculations that Luffy and the rest of his crew will die in the hand of the strongest emperor of the sea, Kaido. Kaido will crash them all but some people have a gut feeling that Brook a devil fruit user of Yomi Yomi no Mi or Revive-Revive fruit. Brook has the capacity to bring the life of a dead person. Therefore, Brook can bring the Strawhats to life. This is only a theory but will this be happing on Wano Arc? Stay tuned.

The Will of D

What is the Will of D? This is the hanging question of others regarding the “D” in the middle of the name like Gol D. Roger, Portgas D. Ace, and among others.

According to Quora.com:

“First pointed out in one of Oda’s SBS questions and answers portion, when one of the readers asked what the D. in the series’ main protagonist name, Monkey D. Luffy, stood for, Oda initially kept the details to a minimum, telling readers to read it as just a “D” for now before going on to say that he will eventually reveal what the letter meant.
Later on, within the series, Tony Tony Chopper’s mentor, Dr. Kuneha, was the first to mention just how much weight the initial “D” carried within the One Piece universe.
From there, various characters within the series have brought up their curiosity about the meaning of the letter “D” in the name of important figures in One Piece.
For example, Nico Robin, one of the handfuls of pirates on board the Straw Hat Pirates, has brought up the letter “D” at least three times, with the last time during a conversation with the Roger Pirates first-mate, Silvers Rayleigh.”

Still, the Will of D is not yet revealed from either manga or anime episodes. Another exciting question that urges us to follow One Piece.

Luffy’s Execution

Oda is a genius man because it is a win-win solution if and only if Luffy is executed. Luffy is characterized the same as Gol D Roger. If Luffy’s execution will come true, Shanks will devour the Maryjois or the Marineford; Marco the Phoenix may also help; Garp will be emotional and he doesn’t want to hurt Luffy; the revolutionary army will also attack theMarineford; and other friends of Luffy who sworn to him during the Dressrosa Arc.

On that note, I put my hats off to Oda because of his dedication to One Piece. More episodes to come.

Reasons Why We Cannot Accomplish Our New Year’s Resolution

A few days from now, we are saying goodbye to 2019 and say hello to the year 2020. Before the year ends, we are creating our new year’s resolution to make a change in our lives. Change is inevitable or unavoidable we just need to adapt to change to make it possible. But most of the time, we cannot make our new year’s resolution simply because we are making excuses or being complacent in targeting our goals.

At first, you are going to figure out your resolution b making a plan and execute it according to your timeline. However, that plan may be ruined in just a matter of time. In this blog, we will be discussing why we cannot carry out our new year’s resolution.

Time Management

We do have 24 hours a day to do some stuff, which includes your bedtime and our time to eat, but we are trimming out our time to our unplanned stuff that may ruin our timeline and the realization of our resolution. For example, you are planning to have regular exercise from 5:00 AM to 6:00 AM but you are not able to awake early and you spend most of your time sleeping. Simply because you cannot do your exercise routine because you will need to go to work or go to school or to your business you manage.

Discipline

Just like time management, people tend to break their new year’s resolution because they are not doing it well or being complacent with their plans. They do not have discipline or self-control to make their plans very realistic. For example, you are planning to make a diet plan as part of your new year’s resolution but as time goes on, you cannot do your diet plan because of your temptation to eat delicious foods. It is good to have some cheat day but learn to discipline yourself on how to stick to your plan.

Endnote

After you read this article, you will end up smiling because of the guilt that you are breaking your promises and realize that you cannot make it as time goes by. That’s the saddest reality that we cannot put all your efforts into your resolution. So next time you are going to have a new year’s resolution, you should set up your goals without any excuses.

Happy New Year Everyone!
