Would You Believe?

Travel that has not been expected.....Is it coincidence? Destine? Meant to be?

Would you believe that Beverly and I will be going to Dubai? I told her that Bevz are we destine to each other? I was not expecting that I will be going with her.... Everytime we have an adventure we spend together, we smile together, we shout together. There is always a picture that signifies that we are together in that adventure. Isn't it funny? Even how hard, stiff, dangerous is the place we find time to take pictures for our documentations. Here in the Philippines we shared thoughts, ideas, feeling, money, but now, upon going to Dubai I'm sure that we crry together, we laugh together, we comfort each other ,in short we will treat ourselves as sisters. I am so thankful that she is very nice and friendly to me. I never thought that this would gonna happen to us. Hope that our friendship will last till we get old. Keep dreaming Bevz.

HOW TO BE YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOW TO BE YOURSELF....

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken. - Oscar WildeIt's quite possibly the most commonly used phrase in the history of advice: Be yourself. But it's such a vague adage. What do they really mean when they tell you to be yourself? And is it really as easy as it sounds?

Steps
1. Find yourself. You can't be yourself if you don't know, understand, and accept yourself first.
2. Stop caring about how people perceive you. The fact is, it really doesn't matter. It's impossible to be yourself when you're caught up in wondering "Do they think I'm funny? Does she think I'm fat? Do they think I'm stupid?" To be yourself, you've got to let go of these concerns and just let your behavior flow, with only your consideration of others as a filter—not their consideration of you.
3. Be honest and open. What have you got to hide? You're an imperfect, growing, learning human being. If you feel ashamed or insecure about any aspect of yourself—and you feel you have to hide those parts of you, whether physically or emotionally—then you have to come to terms with that and learn to convert your so-called flaws into individualistic quirks.
4. Relax. Stop worrying about the worst that could happen, especially in social situations. So what if you fall flat on your face? Or get spinach stuck in your teeth? Learn to laugh at yourself both when it happens and afterwards. Turn it into a funny story that you can share with others. It lets them know that you're not perfect and makes you feel more at ease, too.
5. Develop and express your individuality. Whether it's your sense of style, or even your manner of speaking, if your preferred way of doing something strays from the mainstream, then be proud of it.
6. Have a Productive Day. Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and that some days, you're the statue. People might raise eyebrows and even make fun, but as long as you can shrug and say "Hey, that's just me" and leave it at that, people will ultimately respect you for it, and you'll respect yourself.
7. Believe in who you are. If you're always working to be someone you're not, you'll never be a happy person. Be yourself and show the world you're proud the way you are!

Tips
· There's a difference between being yourself and being inappropriately unrestrained. You might have your opinions, dreams, and preferences, but that doesn't mean you have to disrespect others by forcing them to acknowledge your views.
· If fads or trends strike your fancy, don't avoid them! Being yourself is all about reflecting who you are inside in what you do, and what you like is what you like, no matter how trendy it is (or not trendy, for that matter)!
· As the famous song goes, "Life's not worth a damn until you can say, I am what I am" - when you can sincerely say it, you will know that you can be yourself.
· If you don't agree on what people say don't just act like you do. You don't have to be rude about it just don't act like you agree! No one likes a fake!
· Even if you are interested in something that most people aren't interested in don't be afraid or hide it, stand up and show your true inner self. People will know how confident you are.
Warnings
· Just because you don't care about how people perceive you doesn't mean you shouldn't be aware of it, especially in situations where being yourself might be misinterpreted. For example, you might enjoy being friendly and flirtatious, but in some cultures, that might be perceived as a sexual invitation, and you could get yourself in trouble.
· Don't try too hard. Nothing is more pathetic than someone that is trying so hard to be themselves, that they become someone else.
· Don't lose yourself when your with other friends. Be youself and don't be someone else so other people will like you. Because in the end you end up hurting other people and losing yourself.
