Fingers ticking

Thinking, yes, thinking. What is the phase of life that is more fun and exciting?

A child is born with smiling parents, after the labor that a mother had at birth, a smile was still there, joyful. A beginning of a new life and life ahead. Feeding and more feeding. Milk and so much affection are fed. Attention are given the most.

Months went ahead. The learning and how to talk made the parents giggle. Slowly crawling, then, standing up and eventually walking stages. Food served also became more and more tasteful. From milk to food.

A year after a blown cake was served with a fancy cartoon character holding the number 1 sign. Became taller and speaks several words. Learned how to run slowly and get along playing with playmates.

Year came and year after a year. Became grown up, went to school at the seventh age. Learning how to hold the pencil and write. Coloring some books and answering activities. Eating a nutritious food at snacks time. Learning how to read and answering some simple math problem solving.

At high school, life gets easier, no more mother to fetch you and enjoying the freedom given. But just when it is easier, peer pressures are still there. Getting the best grade would make you more hip and find many friends. Math problem solving gets tougher not to mention the math algebra. But then you surpass them all and get through the next level.

College. Deciding what to take as a course makes a tough decision but finding the right choice would make it great! It will be easier for you to pass all subjects if you pursue in studying well. Yes, study harder and making thesis until dawn just to pass it on time.At last after long years of going to school should end at college unless you decide on getting other courses to get a higher rank on job.

Early twenties, some may find a job, some may not. Some may get married, some may not. Some may still be depending on their parents, some may not. Some may have a child or children, some may not.

At thirties, some may still be studying, some are promoted from the job, some went abroad while some are still looking for that someone they should be marrying.

Forties, then come fifties and sixties and seventies. At those ages some are successful, some are still deprived from poverty, some have grandchildren and some haven’t. Some may be sick and some maybe healthy. Some may die at seventies and some may live until eighties and even nineties.

Phases in life are there to let us learn and never stop learning until the time that we leave. Each phase create a dot on a line that we follow. We should walk through it, it is fun and exciting in a sense that we learn from it’s purpose as life progressed. As the ticking of fingers on the sand it creates a small mark on every aspect of our lives.

Eye Makeup Ideas

Posted on April 28, 2012 by Sallie Clarke

Make-up has been used for centuries to boost, shape as well as highlight a lady’s look or appearance. Throughout the years, make-up is a permanent item in the lady’s bathroom drawer, bedroom’s dresser or lady’s purse. Make-up is indeed a lady’s best friend.

Every woman would like to look gorgeous as well as feel stunning even as they go about their daily routine. To achieve this, modern women rely on the power of make-up. It’s just a matter of choosing the right colors to blend or contrast, right shade to highlight, to achieve a satisfying end result. Additionally, they need to know and learn some eye make-up ideas that will help bring out a woman’s beauty from within and out.

Lots of women have mustered knowing what would be good for their faces, from their skin color, eye color, up to the contour or shape of both the face and the eyes. Women are able to express feelings or emotions through their artistic and creative make-up style and handiwork. Through constant practice and experimentation, they have identified and found the shades and colors that actually work well for their faces and eyes.

In reality, one cannot use the same make-up combination and blending all the time. Different occasions and events require variations in make-up. The basic thing is to choose eye make-up color that would address the skin tone. Some shades would be wonderful for specific skin tones while other shades may work just for fair skin.

One must also take into consideration proper make-up worn during the day and that which is suitable for night outs. This is because the tones can vary greatly under these two time frames.

Finally, one must understand which part of your face you want to highlight or be the focal point. Some women may possibly put a lot more on the lip area, while some might want to increase “oomph” to the eyes.

For daytime make-up, the secret is to apply as less as possible. If you wear heavy make-up during the day when the sun is shining out brightly which may tend to over-accentuate vivid colors or bright shades.

The great hues that may be used for a variety of skin colors will be in the pear group of colors or perhaps the earthly tones. Needless to say, a refined shadow such as cream or perhaps those earthly browns will be a good base shade.

The lighter shade on the upper lids will reveal highlight your eye area. One fantastic technique to produce the eyes to look huge as well as vibrant and smiling is to always curl your own eyelash and apply a mascara to keep the effect,

For the face, one may use mango or perhaps plum to get an all-natural gleam. Make use of a color that will blend well with your normal skin tone. For the lips, any naked or even peach/pink lipsticks or color will create a more sensuous appeal for your lips.

Obviously, get together make-up is much more daring and vibrant, something which can make people turn their heads as you strut out on the entrance door at the function hall, for instance. Fantastic colors to put on for events are the loud ones, for example, green, silver as well as very bright pink. These are eye-popping colors and you should have the know-how or the technique to combine and blend them nicely with the rest of your cosmetics, attire and desired effect.

You may use dark eyeliner to enhance the form of one’s face or perhaps highlight the effect you want to project. Keep in mind that when choosing your own top shade, you should consider this : when featuring the eyes, play it down with the lips; when you need to highlight your lips, pick refined colors for your eyes. Only one should stand out.

One last important point to remember and keep in mind is to have the self-confidence and feel good about yourself, with or without the make-up. It will be a total waste of make-up preparation if you will not feel good about it.

Walking Joyfully

Posted on March 22, 2012 by Valentine

Grief was the sound of a young boy’s heart. His father passed away. He never could have thought it happened. Looking back at the memories of his father before he died make him cry more tears.

He is second to the youngest of the family. He was fifteen years old when his father died. Her mother was busy raising them up after his father’s death. Loneliness flicker when he was left alone, her mother was working and her older siblings went to school. He stopped schooling because he didn’t want to pursue it.

Looking back during the times when his father was still beside him. They would usually come together riding on a motorcycle just to get fresh air. They would go to a beach, his father taught him how to swim. Tears fell like streams of water that came from the heart.

His father was a hard working man. He came from a poor family from a province. He had seen the poverty and the need to do something to get out from it. He chose to leave his parents and went to the city to look for a job. A big company was hiring an assistant that time for a certain position, he then volunteered. Through the years of hard work he had been promoted to a higher position.

The young boy was determined to walk through his father’s footsteps as a hardworking man. But when his father died, his dreams were shattered. He went on to spent more time with the bad influence of his peers.

His mother forced him to go to school to keep him away from his friends. He eventually followed as his mother have told him. Just as her mother have thought it will do him no harm but then the worst happened. She thought his son would go to school everyday but then he went to internet cafes and play online games. His tuition fees weren’t paid instead used the money on playing games.

He never finished high school. He went on with his friends and learn how to drink at a young age and became a drunkard. Her mother miserably kept track of him to lead him the right direction. But then, he was hardheaded. He kept on doing what he thought would make him forget his father’s death.

He was sleeping down the street drunk with his friends. When a dream came after him like a haunting. He dreamed of walking down the stairways and finding a coffin downstairs, he was looking forward at who was inside it. To his dismay, it was her mother.

He woke up that day troubled and went home to see his mother. He can’t afford losing her. She is the only one that is left for him. He hugged and kissed her mother. She smiled and asked “what happened to you my son?”. He then whispered, “I’m sorry I have been so selfish.” He should not be selfish enough of thinking about himself. He can move on with his life spending each day with her mother knowing she is still there for him.

We sometimes face troubles in life that seemed unbearable. But then when we opened our eyes to change and start looking for what we still have only then will we be content and not consumed by the fierce emotions of loneliness and pain. Instead, we can still walk joyfully together with the person who is close to our hearts.
