Be Beautiful, INSIDE and OUT!: An "Ikaw na ang Maganda!" Review


"Inner beauty outlasts outer beauty.
And so inner beauty is what we should also enhance."
--- A line from Miriam Quiambao-Roberto's Foreword for the book "Ikaw na ang Maganda!" by Malu Tiongson-Ortiz.

How to be beautiful? That's the every question a woman asks. Is it all about how one looks, or it comes from within? Either way, enhancing both beauties will make you, us, a better being.

How does one define beauty? It depends. What may seem beautiful to one person may not be to another. Simply, there are no rules in appreciating one's beauty. Today, beauty is an asset. It helps one person to find a better job, or attract someone. For women, beauty will give them confidence. Most are willing to spend money to buy beauty products. But what if, you don't have the luxury to buy those? Does that mean that you can't be beautiful? This is what this book will teach us: That there is more to physical beauty. It's the inner beauty that make each woman beautiful. Just like what 1 Peter 3:3-4 says, "Beauty does not come from outward adornment, clothes, jewelry, hair, or makeup. There is something more to being beautiful on the outside, something that in the eyes of God, is even more valuable."



Writing 101

Being a writer is a serious thing. Somehow, people will rely on what your article is talking about. it becomes their reference. Being that way, you should be writing your contents with credibility and of course, originality.

Writing for Essays.ph taught me that you can't just write anything by merely copying from other sources. I actually admit that when I was still studying, I can't help but to do the "Copy-Paste" thing for my write-ups. Well, that's a big NO-NO.

When I write for EPH, and when my articles get accepted, the editors will give some comments about the mistakes they saw in the article. I want to share some of these comments.
