How to Smile

2008-09-11T23:27:00.000-07:00

Smile can make us beautiful and help us to be younger. Everytime we smile it is just a simple gesture but it can lighten burdens in our life. It is like a magical potion that can heal a broken heart and can start a new day with a good mood. According to some experts "Smile and the whole world smiles with you". And now I have here an article that help us to enhance our smile. I've got this article from the internet and i know it really gives a big idea for us on how to smile. It tells how to develop a genuine, infectious smile that can make a bad date turn good, seal a business deal, and help you make a friends wherever you go.

Practice good hygiene. If you've got bits of food stuck in your teeth, people may indeed say you have an infectious smile, but they might be talking about actual infections. It should go without saying, but regularly brushing your teeth and making sure your breath is fresh are prerequisites to a good smile. If your teeth are stained, visit the dentist for a polishing or use a whitening product, and take care of your lips to prevent chapping. When you smile people will inevitably look at your mouth, so following these considerations will help you make a better impression, and, more importantly, a healthy mouth will make you feel more confident about smiling.
Get comfortable with smiling. Many people are a little nervous about smiling. They don't think their smile looks good, or they think that smiling makes them look unprofessional or vulnerable. It's true that a smile does show a little vulnerability, but that's part of what makes it so powerful. No matter how professional, intelligent, or in control you think a serious face (or worse, a frown) makes you appear, people almost always respond better to a smile.
Think happy thoughts. The easiest way to a great smile is to be happy. You can be happy all the time, but not everybody is; when you are not, you can think happy thoughts instead. Think about something or someone that you care about, or think about a joke that you just find hilarious. Remarkably, when you're feeling down, smiling can help cheer you up, even if you have to coax a smile out at first.
Smile with your eyes. When we think of smiling, we think of the mouth, but the eyes may actually be more essential to a warm, genuine smile. Smiling with your eyes is difficult to describe--in general your cheek bones lift slightly and your eyebrows dip a little--but when you see it, you know it: it's that look of your eyes "lighting up" or "twinkling." To get a feel for how to make your eyes smile, get in front of a mirror and practice smiling, but concentrate only on your eyes. You may find it helpful to cover the lower part of your face with a piece of paper. Play around with it a bit, and you'll find that you can make your mouth smile when your eyes aren't smiling, and you can also smile only with your eyes. When your eyes do smile, remember how it feels, which muscles are working and how. With practice, you'll be able to smile with your eyes at will.
Develop your smile. Don't particularly care for your smile? It's a common complaint, and while it's true that any smile is better than a frown, it's also true that some smiles look better than others. What's your best smile? One way to find out is to look through pictures of yourself. Many people who consider themselves unphotogenic are plagued by bad smiles in front of the camera, but just about everybody has at least one picture in which they just look great, with a perfectly natural, contagious smile. Find that picture and focus on what your face is doing. Then practice in front of a mirror until you get it just right. Keep practicing, and pay attention to how that great smile feels, so that you'll be able to replicate it without looking in a mirror. Soon it will become second nature, and you'll likely find that you'll look more photogenic in your next batch of pictures.
If you want to improve your smile, look at pictures of smiles that you believe are beautiful. Also, think good thoughts and remember that you are beautiful (inside and out). Your smile is bound to look better if you feel good about yourself!

So now we already know how to smile, then let's start our day and end our day with a smile. God Bless to everyone and have a nice day.

A Piece of Something

2008-09-03T02:05:00.000-07:00

While I was walking, I stopped for a while and thought of things I don’t have. Then I realized that the happiest of all people don’t necessarily have the best of everything, they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. It’s true that we don’t know what we’ve got until we lose it, but it’s also true that we don’t know what we’re missing until it arrives.

In the gateway of my heart I put a sign that says, “No Trespassing” but love came laughing and said, “I enter everywhere”. Love knows no reason. Love knows no lies. Love defies reasons, love has no eyes, but love is not blind. It sees but it doesn’t mind. Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, the romance and you find you still care for the person. Love is supposed to be the most wonderful feelings. It should aspire you and give you joy and strength. But sometimes the things that give you joy can also hurt you in the end. It starts with a smile, develops with a kiss, and ends with a tear.

When you love, you must not expect anything in return. If you do, you’re not loving but investigating. If you love; you must prepare to accept pain. For if you accept happiness you’re not loving but using. Don’t go for looks. It can deceive: don’t go for wealth, even that fades away: go for someone who makes you smile, make a dark day seem bright.

The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not twist them to fit our own image otherwise we love only the reflections of ourselves we find in them. Never impress someone for the rest of your life.

A sad thing about life is that you meet someone who means a lot to you only to find out in the end that it was never bound to be, and you just have to let him go. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we should know how to be grateful for the gift. We oftentimes don’t see the reason why we don’t always get what we want, but in the end of it all, we realize that what we wanted wasn’t meant for us, after all, everything happens for a reason. When you feel down because you didn’t get what you wanted, just sit tight and be happy because God is thinking of something better for you.

It hurts to love someone and not loved in return, but what is the most painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel. It’s always better to have found the courage in love even if you lose it in the end rather than never finding love because you were too afraid to face its challenge. The greatest regrets in our lives are the risks we didn’t take. If you think something will make you happy, go for it. Remember that you only pass this way once.

Love no matter how hard you find it, it won’t… No matter how hard you try, you won’t get it. But when you’re about to give up, it comes. Sometimes the love we are looking for is right in front of us—too close for the eyes to see. So close, your eyes and heart see it self. There are things you love to hear but you can never hear it from a person who says it with his heart. Just because someone doesn’t love you the way you want him or her doesn’t mean that they don’t love you with all that they have. There are so many stars in the sky, only some are radiant to be noticed. Among those you choose to ignore is the one, which is willing to shine for you forever even if your glance remains elsewhere.

God never closes a door without opening a window. He always gives something better when He takes something away. Heartbreaks will last as long as you want and cut deep as you allow them to go. Challenge is not how to survive heartbreaks but to learn from them. In relationship, thank God you’re hurting or crying. There you are given a chance to measure the importance of the person because you experienced suffering. We have no right to ask when sorrows come, “Why this happens to me?”, unless we ask the same question for every moment of happiness that comes our way. When God puts a tear in your eye, it’s because He wants to put rainbow in your heart.

A heart truly in love never loses hope but always believe in the promise of love. No matter how long the time and distance. Never say goodbye when you still want to try. Never give up when you still feel you can take it. Never say you don’t love the person anymore when you could not let go. True love doesn’t have a happy ending, that’s because true love doesn’t have an ending.

I really like this article but what struck me most was the last stanza of this article. I can relate it to myself because as of now i really miss my bhe and i want to wait her until she come back. Love u bhe..

Miles Away..

2008-09-03T01:26:00.000-07:00

i had this kind of relationship before that i used to get everything i wanted, and when i mean everything, its everything, the love, the care,the attention and i get all his time ever.When i'm with him it's just so different,i can be myself. But for now,it just have to end because of envitable circumstances. We have to seperate ways with a promise that we have to continue what we have started. I really miss my boyfriend, the time we seperated i realized a very important thing,how i value him more and wanted to be with him for the rest of my life, i don't know if he feels the same way, but it doesn't matter anymore, all i know is i left my heart where it trulybelong and i'm still hoping one day that we end up together.It is such a wonderful feeling that we have someone who makes us feel whole all over again. I feel i'm very lucky then that i have found him in this lifetime. I just wish that we will be able to cope up things especially now that we are miles away.

Why do people cry?

2008-07-16T20:08:00.000-07:00

According to the expert crying can cause a person to lighten burdens and problems. If we were hurt we cry and when we were over laugh we cry. According to the scientific studies, we cry when our lacrimal glands produce an abundance of fluid. The lacrimal glands in our eyes constantly produce fluid to keep our eyes moist; each time you blink this fluid is spread across your eyes. When a foreign object (or the chemicals of an onion) comes in contact with our eyes, the lacrimal glands react by producing an abundance of fluid in order to wash away the irritant. Emotional tears are triggered by completely different nerves and function to relieve any stress we might be feeling. As the experts saying cry can reduce stress and when we cry our feeling really lighten and problems become lessen. As what we have experience after crying we can feel that the burdens in our heart slowly fading away. Crying can set our mind to think positively and keep asking why we do that things and why we keep being hurt. Crying is a nice thing to do to relieve our stress and to lighten and heart but be sure that when you cry, think positively because some person think it negatively. They think that no one love them and do a suicide act. So if this is your mentality then don't cry when you want to suicide, instead imagine of good things that you did and make it as your inspiration. God loves us always and remember life is so short so keep your life away from death.

Why we write a love letter to someone we love?

2008-07-15T17:38:00.000-07:00

I was really struck before why we write a love letter to someone we love. Well today SMS is very common to us especially to the Filipinos but for me, sending an SMS quotes to someone you love is not enough. What really I do to express my feeling to the someone I love is to write a love letter. A genuine thought and a true feeling is the secret recipe to make a love letter. A love letter maybe not important to everyone but for me a love letter would be a big deal to me. The composition and the presentation of the love letter will best describe to the one you love. You can express the hidden feeling and the thoughts that you can't express in front. Through love letter we can gather all the thoughts and message you want and sealed it together. Love letter also can reminisce the past, either good ot bad as a result you can remember those days that you've been together. That's why I love to write love letter most. Hmmmm...Well I have here a poem that best describe love letter. I research this accross the internet and here it goes.

Love Letter

A fire that is carefully stoked and tended will not burn out.
It will blaze so brightly that its warmth lingers in your heart.
It will beckon your tired soul and embrace you in its radiance.
The familiar smell of its smoke can bring a wistful smile,
and the occasional blast of fireworks can take your breath away.
Its sizzle can enthrall you; its flickering flames entrance you.
The glowing embers provide comforting heat,
and the knowledge that a subtle movement or gentle breeze
can rekindle a bonfire.

My love, the spark that ignited the day we met
remains an eternal flame.
