A Beautiful Change
Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes according to the great teacher, Lao Tzu. I definitely agree with his wisdom and I echo that change is one of the permanent things we experience while existing. Change can either be for better or worse, but one thing is certain – a person will not be the same anymore. Take a change of appearance, for example. One feels different from what he/she was before, and more often than not, this is an improvement.
HBC Philippines, a popular cosmetic brand in the country, recently held a bloggers talk at Stacy’s Café, Bonifacio Global City. There, a sneak peek on its huge event on June 12 was unveiled. In celebration of Philippine Independence, there will be a National Makeover Day to commemorate the freedom every one of us has. With the right to be beautiful, each Filipino can enjoy a transformative change with the help of free services and products only from HBC.
The National Makeover Day, the first in the country, also goes with the tagline,
“Say YES to a beautiful change!”
Blogger friends opened up and shared their beautiful change with everyone and I was surprised that these lovely ladies also had the same concerns and experiences I had. I thought I was the only one! It was enlightening to note that a lot of people my age have been through the same thing – problems with pimples, hair, skin color, among others.

Curious about my beautiful change?
I grew up without any vain bone in my body. Honestly, I only combed my hair once (right after shower) until senior high. I didn’t even bother faithfully applying lotion and sunscreen on my skin. Makeup was only worn when I joined musical play, intermission number, oratorical, declamation, and storytelling contests. Alas, not a single beauty pageant. I was uncommonly skinny and eternally underweight that some looked at me with pity in their eyes. They thought I couldn’t support my meals and vitamins. Moreover, I was comfortable with the company of the opposite gender that others mistakenly took me for a tomboy. Well, I took appearances for granted, so I guess I somehow deserved that.
When I started studying in university, everything changed. I started combing my hair frequently and fed my skin with what it needs. I ate more. I began wearing shoes with heels more than an inch and dress with length higher than my knees. Later, I died my hair light brown. Then recently, I got curious and learned how to use makeup and mix and match clothes. All these and more gradually unfurled my wings. Along with the knowledge that I am changing for the better, I gained confidence and increased my self-worth. I was transformed. I was metamorphosed.
