Being Modest and Simple

It’s always nice to attend weddings as you’ll get to see relatives, family, old friends and meet new ones also. Since it’s my Mom’s hometown it seemed Mom’s the most popular woman there in the wedding with plenty of greetings, kisses and update stories. They were so happy seeing her as we seldom visit the province. Well it looks like Mom is the most favored guest too. Anyway looking back at the wedding I noticed that guests in the province are more simple than in the city wherein you’ll never be surprised to see Black diamond earrings on special gatherings like parties, weddings, anniversaries and other occasions.

In the province they’re happier and livelier in their greetings but they’re modest in dressing up. That’s for the elderly and matured women but for the teeners they’re just the same as in the city. I guess it’s the trend nowadays to look more modern and vain in some aspects. I didn’t like kids having heavy makeup as they don’t look like innocent anymore. Moms should practice simplicity in the way they dress up their kids or in the way they doll up their face as it looks over most of the times. My fear is that they will get used to it and practice it when they’ve grown bigger. Just my thoughts and opinions only.

Saturday 9: Just One Look

1. How vein are you about how you look? You mean vain? I'm not! I'm the simplest living human :-) It takes my younger sister to remind me to a little more conscious of how I look because I'm comfortable with the way I am.

2. When you were little what was your favorite TV show? I watch Sesame Street everyday when I'm not in school, I was in the primary school then

3. If someone was going to make a movie or TV show about your life, who would play you and why? Sandra Bullock, because it will be an action movie and Sandra is good at it like she did in Speed.

4. Who is your favorite Major League Baseball team? How about your favorite player? I play baseball when I was in college but I don't watch baseball teams now

5. What is your favorite baseball-related movie? Maybe 'A League Of Their Own

6. What is one lesson you have learned in the past year? Believe in yourself and if you have plans in your life pray for it, seek God's help and wait for His time and signs before you finally pursue your plans. If it's for you God will make things in accordance with your life, no ifs no buts only God's perfect will.

7. Tell us about one of your childhood memories. I have plenty of playmates but mostly siblings and cousins who live in the same compound as ours. The memorable ones were those spent in the province when I was 7 and below. I used to climb trees and play in the grassfield. Big bro and I used to ride in each side of the horse sitting on a basket made for us only by Uncle. It was a different childhood from what I experienced here in our place near the metropolis. I prefer the province.

8. How do you handle sticky situations? Do you have a method? If so, what is it? I pray, consult and follow what my mind and heart says

9. Do you think people talk about you behind your back? Maybe sometimes but I'm not guilty and I don't care. You can't please every body so I just let them, they will grow old fast than I am hahaha!
