On the contrary....


...Why is it that most men and women these days are so concerned about their looks? I've watched the GMA and TFC programs and it's amazing how even teenagers in the Philippines and all over the world resort to surgical procedures to enhance their physical looks (nose lifts, chin, facial, breast, butt enhancements, body contours and what have you). Nowadays, it looks like very few believe in ageing gracefully. The world has engaged in so many forms of competitions, no one wants to be left behind...Which is why, in several occasions, I was asked what is my secret to "looking young" ? Someone even dared to ask me if I ever had any of those "enhancements"...I just laugh it off. My wrinkles and age spots are there, I've some gray hairs already (but thanks to hair dyes), and I can already feel the "wear and tear" of aging. My friends who've spent days and nights with me observed that I don't have any facial rituals (such as whiteners, creams, moisturizers, whatever! ) other than putting on some make up (Lancome` brand only) once a day ( with no retouch) which at times, I even sleep without removing it when I am tired from work. I don't go to facial spa unlike most women do. Manicure/pedicure, I seldom do either. My diet is bad, because I eat anything DELICIOUS! I do exercise sporadically and is limited to mostly zumba dancing. I live a simple life, and if I indulge, it's mostly clothings, shoes, and traveling. I am not pressured to look my best at all times. I wear shorts and slippers or rugged jeans, without make-up going to the supermarket or even to the mall. Sometimes, people think I don't have money to pay for the merchandise that I have because of my humble looks. They even look down on me at times..But do I care? NO! It's funny, because these are the same people that I sometimes encounter in some parties, and they don't even recognize me...If I can only tell them to MOVE OVER!...Hahahahaha! You see, that's the sad part. People mostly judge you by the way you look on the outside. Hence, everyone wants to look their best, because they are not contented with what they have and who they are. They worry about what other people will say, and you wonder why they have wrinkles?...When I tell people about my golden age, with wide eyes, they ask me: "What? you are in your 50's?"...And I say to them: "Do you really expect golden girls to be fat, wrinkled, home-based, doing crochet or cross-stiching, if not, taking care of grandchildren?"
My point is, you are what you think, feel, and believe you are. I am very realistic that I'm already a golden girl, and I value my roots, but that doesn't mean that I will live my life from the past and STOP from there...I am in touch with the new generation, and blend well, not necessarily embracing it entirely, and I still have a spare flexibility to adapt to what tomorrow will bring...If these are the secrets to staying young, then, I JUST SPILLED IT! ...And oh, by the way, the top secret to staying SEXY is being SEX-free!

Elz,

Good morning!!! That's what i can't believe teenagers doing retoke??? They still have far to go and features change in time. For me fighting w/ the tambok tummy. And doing Zumba just one day. Our company pres wants to pay for it for the wellness program. But, the other workers are too darn tired after 8hrs and cooking and taking care of kids. Well that's there exercise. I love food too much to say no. Kaya walang discipline. There are a lot of competition out there to look super great. But, the price going under the knife and recovery stage. This one lady in Hollywood regrets having it done coz the pain. While Michael got so addicted and look what happen to his face??? Now FFF won't accept my blog. Always losing connection. So, am here just to reply.

Whatever you're doing Elz, keep it up!!! Have a great sunday!!!

Greatest feelings in the world when two souls profess a love for each other...

Hi there, Tess! ..Hay naku, FFF was stuck for more than half a day, and thank God, front page advertisements of blogs is already moving...Only people who click "watch this blog" (the reason why there is an EYE next to one's handle when they visit my blogs) know that I have a new blogpost. Zumba is good and relaxing. It makes me sleep better and gives me more energy. I will have to enroll to another gym because the one that I used to go to already closed...Keep up the good work, Tess!

You don't need any enhancements that for sure Ate Elz.
Sexy legs from both and your face is lovely also.
On the contrary I think you're photogenic.
Photogenic doesn't mean you've to smile.
Just look at those models who posed like emos.

At the very least, you can just buy supportive bras and one of those body shapers (underwear clothing) to tuck the tummy in. Although I've been told it could be uncomfortable. I might even consider wearing one some day.

There isn't much point worrying too much about our bodies because it will inevitably get weak with age.

Thanks Janey..Smile? I avoid doing that during picture taking, because for some reasons, something happens to my picture, such as my face becomes asymetric, or looking funny... so, I guess, I should be a "model-like" in my pictures, always..I agree with you..support and well padded bras and body shapers...although, I haven't any of those body shapers yet, until probably I can't handle whatever love handles that may come out later on.. I hope not!
