Ms. Winsome Smile

Dear Diary,

A while ago as I was waiting for the Pizza that I ordered, I was staring blankly at the small tray allotted for my change, out of boredom I created a smiley out of the coins thinking that the very nice waitress who served me will smile upon seeing those (although barya lang,..haha )

Smiling has always been one of my weapons in overcoming almost every aspect of life. As the MJ song goes “Smile With your fear and sorrow, Smile and maybe tomorrow, you’ll find that life is still worthwhile if you’ll just…Smile”.  We look fresh, we look “blooming” and certainly we look younger if we constantly practice the art of smiling. I remember getting an award  called “ Ms. Winsome Smile” on a School Pageant, something that I did not expect , for I don’t have a good set of teeth way back, well maybe because I was smiling at my best while on stage. Not just because I like doing pageant walks but because of my family and friends  who were cheering for me and chanting my name , seeing and hearing them at that moment boosted my confidence and inspired me to do my best on stage .Moving on, stretching this muscles on my face  also serves as my mask, yes you heard it right, that sometimes even if I feel like the whole world is against me I put a smile mask on my face as much as I can, because it will initiate the positive energy whenever I’m in a not so good situation. I mean why stress yourself right? Why frown?  It will just turn your face looked like a crumpled paper and worst frowning might affect someone you passed by or talked to and they might start to get pissed off as well. So whenever this tough moments occurred , I start practicing counting down from 10 to one, inhale then exhale, and put the most beautiful smile on your face. It’s the most effective way of getting over a bad moment. It’s something contagious that everyone can extend. As quoted by Ms. Pia Magalona on a TV interview “happiness is there to be spread”.

And I will always be a part of that adversity, I want to look pretty and I want to look younger so this is probably the best beauty regimen I have on right now.  I certainly agree to a particular part of the song that “you’ll find  that life is still worthwhile, if you just smile…”

LIVE. LAUGH. LOVE
