If you have been to my other blog, you’d definitely see this photo there. Which could mean I really like this photo that’s why I’m using it again or that I don’t have the time to update the other one. lol. Whichever, please enjoy this photo as much as I do. Those were on top of a hotel-restaurant at the city center.

On being flawless

Posted by gmirage1 on Dec 7, 2009 in thoughts | 1 comment

Ever wonder why I seldom post pictures of myself? I bet you did, though I’ve been posting my kids’ photos, it’s not just because I am proud of them and that I enjoy my role as a photographer…I’m hiding behind the camera because of the skin treatment I am  undergoing and because of the extra fats I need to shed. Many would surely say that it doesn’t really matter how a person looks but society dictates otherwise. Women actually spend lots of money to achieve the beauty that they themselves define, that which makes them feel confident and ready to face the world.

In this age of technology, there are lots of services offered to be flawless…that means no extra fats, tight, fine and fair skin, no varicose veins, the photo-perfect look! However, there are methods that do not require months or years for you to achieve this. Sono bello body contours is one of the known clinic that offers this kind of service. They have the micro laser assisted body sculpting technique that permanently remove fats (and stubborn cellulites). Yes, a variation of liposuction sans anesthesia, swelling and stitches. According to the website, some of the patients who went through the procedure can immediately go back to work in 1 to 2 days. Sounds too good to be true? Then read what they have to say.

Procedures can be done on different parts of the body, not just the waist. It could be the chin, thighs,  hips, buttocks and so on. If one would ever decide to undergo a procedure to reduce unsightly fats, I suggest you try Sono bello. They definitely would remove your pain of low self-esteem painlessly!

Hudyat

Kapag sumilip ang haring araw, ito ay hudyat na kailangan ko ng tumayo sa pagkakahiga. Pero dahil taglamig, tanghali na siya sumisilay, kaya minsan ay nauunahan ko siya at nagkakaron ako ngpagkakataon ng magkuha ng litrato ng bukang-liwayway.

Hudyat ng bagong araw, bagong simula at bagong pakikibaka. Handa ka na ba sa mga sunod na tema ng LP?

Technology

Hubby is a self-confessed tech geek. Computers, game consoles, mini gadgets, name it and he has it. Above photo is his work area. Two Apple monitors (for more use of his arts), a dslr, an iphone, a mini-PC and a Macbook below it (covered with paper). Guess where in our house is this corner?…too bad, in the bedroom. So it’s inevitable that when waking up, he’d go straight there and browse, check emails etc. (Sorry for the photo, I used a phone camera since I had to include the camera in the photo lol.)

True, we’ve been far into the world of technology than we were years ago. Though in my opinion, however advanced man may be, however helpful all the invented gadgets are, however technology can make anything beautiful…the work of God seen in mother nature is still the best tech that none could compare.

Thankful for technology for the convenience of recording a wonderful child’s milestone, for easily being able to transfer files and for helping reach out to friends who are million miles away.

Pink

Posted by gmirage1 on Nov 23, 2009 in home stories, Unique's Photo Challenge | Comments Off

Most girls these days consider pink as their favorite color…You go out in the streets and I bet there is one you’d spot immediately dressed all in pink..shirt, pants, socks, shoes (and jacket). My daughter is one, though she wears red, blue and violet too. Don’t blame me, I am one of those moms who have been dictated by society about gender policies…that pink is for girls and blue is for boys, that Barbies are for girls and toy cars are for boys. Dressing them with the wrong colors or letting them play with toys that are supposedly not for them makes them fall out of the two categories. Below is a conversation between my kids about the subject. (Yes, I eavesdrop on them lol.)

Daughter: Why are you wearing my socks, those are light blue, you’re not supposed to wear them.

Son: Mommy said its mine coz its a size smaller than yours, she bought the wrong ones.

Daughter: Don’t you know that boys are supposed to wear darker stuff, you can wear dark blue but not light blue, and those socks even have some pink on it.

I continued playing deaf, my daughter said a lot more about gender policies to which my son was still clueless. He didn’t reply but I think the idea is rubbing on him already.

Okay, I must admit I’m partly to blame. I have one girl and you know how fun it is to dress ‘em up. Boys are the typical shorts, pants, shirt routine opposed to girls’ dresses, skirt, blouses and don’t forget hair accessories. Most of us moms with girls could also be guilty of the ‘princess pampering’ stage, are we not? Princesses as the stories tell are supposed to be treated well, they dress well except of course when they were still the ‘rag girl.’ It so happened that pink is almost (perhaps) synonymous to ‘princess’ or ‘barbie.’ Whatever dictated the trend for pink=girls:blue=boys, we see it too effective. Go to the mall or other mass retail store and you’ll see them stacked, this side pink, that side blue, perhaps a very little section for NOT gendered. So what can you gift a friend (who didn’t want to know what her baby’s gender is) during the baby shower? Tradition dictates yellow and pale-green are the top choices, I always heard friends say, ‘it’s safe.’
