“To keep the body in good health is a duty….. Otherwise we shall not be able to
keep our mind strong and clear.” - BUDDHA
Kailangan nating panatiliing maayos at nasa tamang kalusugan at sitwasyon ang
ating pangangatawan dahil ito ay isa sa mga responsibilidad natin bilang isang tao. Kung
hindi mo mapapanatiling nasa maayos na sitwasyon ang iyong pangangatawan, pati ang
iyong pag iisip ay maapektuhan, kung paano ka mag isip ay maguguluhan.
Physical Self
 Physical growth and development among individual body.
 Part of us that can be directly observe and seen by others.
 The body’s ability to perform its functions gradually changes through an individual’s
aging.
 Physical development and growth during childhood continue at a slow rate
compared to the rapid rate of growth in babyhood.
In short, Physical self is yung mga bagay na nakikita, naoobserbasahan at
napapansin mo at ng ibang tao. As we go older, lahat tayo nagdadaan sa pisikal na
pagbabago at lahat ng ito ay hindi naten malalampasan. Habang tumatanda tayo, yung
mga bagay na nagagawa naten before, hindi an naten nagagawa dahil nga sa tinatawag
nating, “gradual process” or mabilisang pagbabago at pagbaba ng ating pisikal na
pagkatao at kakayahan.
PUBERTY
This stage is characterized by rapid changes that include the maturation of the
reproductive system. Each individual goes through a succession of developmental stages
throughout his or her life span.
The changes in your body during puberty are caused by hormones which are
chemicals produced in your body. These hormones are like chemical messages that cause
the testicles or the ovaries to release other hormones.

A. Girls
 During puberty your ovaries get bigger and your body will start to produce two
hormones - estrogen and progesterone.
 Estrogen causes your breast to grow and helps your vagina, uterus and fallopian
tubes to develop.
 It also makes you grow taller and also changes the way fat is stored on your body
making your waist, hips and buttocks more obvious.
 After puberty, estrogen and progesterone control your menstrual cycle or period.
For girls as they entered in puberty stage napakaraming pagbabago sa kanilang
katawan no right after they encountered menstruation. These are the proof that you’re
entering on the next stage of your life which is the puberty/adolescent stage. Sa stage na to
talagang napakaraming chances. Dito kana makakaramdam ng pagkakaroon ng crush no.
Yung mga bagay na nagagawa mo nung bata kapa hindi mo na magagawa or nahihiya ka
nang gawin due to also the changes on your mindsets.
B. Boys
 For young men, the hormone testosterone is the hormone that starts development
from boy to man.
 Testosterone is the major male sex hormone and it is produced in the testes.
 Testosterone levels rise significantly during puberty.
 When levels are high enough, testosterone starts the production of sperm, causes
the chest and shoulders to broaden and causes facial hair to grow.
For the boys specifically is yung pagbabago ng boses, kung sa babae is yung
pagmemens (pagreregla), sa mga lalake naman is yung pagtutuli. Once na natuli na si
lalake it is already accompanied by several changes in their body emotionally, physically
and mentally. Right after the circumcision o pagtutuli, hormones production sa boys is
nangyayari na which causes several changes in their bodies because of this hormones
development nga. Dito na rin nila natututunan yung pagmamasturbate just to release stress
and discover something.
MOST COMMON QUESTIONS
Why men have nipples also?
 Actually, male nipples still serve a purpose as an erogenous zone.
 Just like female nipples, they’re sensitive to touch and can come in handy for erotic
stimulation. One study found that nipple stimulation enhanced sexual arousal in 52
percent of men.
Both nipples have their purpose for both men and woman no. Para sa mga
babae, their nipples is kung san sila magpapa breastfeed, so sa lalake
magpapbreast feed din sila? Syempre hindi. Walamg sila hormones to produce milk
mo. Wala silang estrogen at progesterone hormones na sa babae lang nakikita
same with boys na may testosterone which responsible for their masculinity. Again
nipples of boys serves as an erogenous zone for them no. Erogenouse zone means
heto yung nagrerelease ng sexual stimulation or sexual urge or libido sa lalake.

They are sensitive enough na if nahawakan sila, it will release erotic stimulation or
pagtigas sa lalake.
Are transgender can feel orgasm?
 Your surgeon will use skin from your penis to create a clitoris. This clitoris still has
feeling, and most transgender women can have orgasm through clitoral stimulation.
What is the purpose of pubic hair?
 The primary benefit of pubic hair is its ability to reduce friction during sexual
intercourse.
 The skin in the area around the genitals is very sensitive. Pubic hair can naturally
reduce friction associated with the movements during sexual intercourse and other
activities wherein chafing may occur.
 Pubic hair can also help stop bacteria and other microorganisms from entering the
body. Specifically, it can help trap dirt and pathogens that may enter the body
through the vagina or penis and prevent STDs.
Why some remove it?
 Personal preference: Some people may prefer the look and feel of having no public
hair.
 Their partner’s preference: There may have been an implied or explicit request to
groom or remove the pubic hair. However, pubic hair removal should be an
individual’s choice.
 Increased satisfaction: Pubic hair removal practices and relationship satisfaction.
It also found that women who reported pubic hair removal had enhanced feelings of
femininity.
 Preparation for sexual activity: Hair removal may be particularly beneficial for
people who engage in oral sex.
 Peer or societal pressure: Some people may conform to the way that society
believes grooming should occur. Again, however, this should be a personal choice.
Some of us literally shaves their pubic, inaahit nila for some reasons. Because yun
ang tinuro at natutunan naten as we grew older and discover our individualities. Some
shaves it for personal feelings na kung saan gusto nila makaramdam ng walang pubics.
Next is iyon ang kagustuhan ng partners nila. Next is for their relationship satisfaction,
nasasatisfy sila sa mga sarili nila at relasyon nila if they feel na wala silang pubics. Next is
for sexual activity specifically pag gusto nila ng oral sex. Oral means using their mouth. And
lastly, peer encouragement. Tinuturuan nila tayo as a men or woman, we should shave it
for us to feel the belongingness sa isang society.
Risks of removing pubic hair
Pubic hair removal is generally safe, but there are some common side effects.
These include:
 itchiness
 small cuts from razors
 potential injury, if using a razor or scissors
 burns from chemical removers
Prepared By:

AND PHILOSOPHY
ISO 9001: 2015
QMS-Certified
 rashes
 Infections
 Pubic grooming injuries are surprisingly common. One 2017 survey found that
25.6% of people who groomed this area sustained injuries during or after hair
removal. Also, limited evidence suggests that removing the pubic hair can
increase the risk of STIs.
Why men need to circumcise?
Parents may choose circumcision because they believe the surgery protects against
infections of the urinary tract and the foreskin, prevents cancer , lowers the risk of
getting sexually transmitted diseases, and prevents phimosis (a tightening of the foreskin
that may close the opening of the penis).
Again, para sa personal hygiene at sign ng pagbibinata, kailangan ng lalaking
magpatuli also para maiwasan ang infections kapag sila ay gumagawa na ng sexual
activities. Marami kasing biyaya or advantages ang pagkakatuli tulad ng pag iwas sa UTI,
pagkakaroon ng cancer at sexually transmitted disease or iyong mga saket na
manggagaling kapag ikaw ay nakipagtalik ng walang proteksyon.
FEMALE CIRCUMCISION also known as female genital mutilation , removes the
clitoris to prevent the woman from feeling sexual pleasure. This type of mutilation is often
done as a girl reaches puberty, and is believed to reduce the chances of a woman cheating
on her partner as sex is no longer as pleasurable as it would be with an intact clitoris.
Type 1: CLITORIDECTOMY. This is the partial or total removal of the clitoris and in
very rare cases, only the prepuce (the fold of skin surrounding the clitoris).
Type 2: EXCISION. This is the partial or total removal of the clitoris and the labia
minora.
Type 3: INFIBULATION. This is the narrowing of the vaginal opening through the
creation of a covering seal. The seal is formed by cutting and repositioning the labia
minora, or labia majora, sometimes through stitching.
Type 4. This includes all other harmful procedures to the female genitalia for non-
medical purposes, e.g. pricking, piercing, incising, scraping and cauterizing the genital are
Sa ibang mga lugar sa mundo, tinutuli rin nila ang mga babae para maiwasan ang
pakikipagtalik sa ibang lalake kung sila ay kasal na or may mga kanya kanyang partners
na. Ito ay kilala rin sa tawag na “female genital mutilation”. Sinasagawa ang pagtutuli na ito
sa mga babae sa tuwing sila ay nasa pagdadalagang edad na.
PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH PHYSICAL SELF
Some people find themselves unattractive and unsatisfied on their appearances and
they perceived defects or flaws — a flaw that appears minor or can't be seen by others.
Most abnormalities associated to physical self is eating disorders and Body Dysmorphic
Disorder (BDD).

A B C D E
A. Bulimia Nervosa
A psychological eating disorder in which you have episodes of binge eating (consuming
a large quantity of food in one sitting). During these binges, you have no sense of control over
your eating. Afterward, you try inappropriate ways to lose weight such as vomiting, fasting,
excessive use of laxatives and diuretics and Compulsive exercising. People with bulimia
usually weigh within the normal range for their age and height. But they may fear gaining
weight, want to lose weight, and feel very dissatisfied with their bodies.
Bulimia Nervosa. Heto ay isang sakit na kung saan si pasyente ay nagkokonsumo o
kumakain ng napakaraming pagkain sa isang hapagan lang. Wala syang control sa
kanyang pagkain at pagkatapos ay gagawa sya ng mga bagay na hindi tugma or tamang
gawain ng isang taong gustong pumayat upang maibsan ang kanyang pagkaing
nakonsumo tulad ng pipilitin ang sariling magsuka, magfasting or hindi kakain at sobra
sobrang pag inom ng mga gamot na pampapayat. Ang mga taong ito ay nasa normal na
timbang naman pero sila ay takot na madagdagan ang kanilang timbang at sobrang hindi
satisfied sa kanilang mga katawan.
B. Anorexia Nervosa
An eating disorder characterized by an abnormally low body weight, an intense fear
of gaining weight and a distorted perception of weight. People with anorexia place a high
value on controlling their weight and shape, using extreme efforts that tend to significantly
interfere with their lives.
Same case with Bulimia but si Anorexia Nervosa naman ay talagang mapapansin
mo ang abnormal na timbang ng pasyente at may kakaibang paniniwala sa kahulugan ng
timbang. Karaniwang taong may gantong sakit ay talagang kinokontrol at pinapahalagahan
ang kanilang pigura at timbang kaya naaapektuhan na ng sobra ang kanilang pang araw
araw na pamumuhay. Kung tingin ng iba ay payat na sila, ang tingin naman nya ay mataba
pa sya hanggang sa hindi na ito kakain. Konting pagkain lang ang kanilang kainin akala
nila tumaas na ng sobra ang timbang nila. Kung nakakbusog lang ang isang butil ng kanin,
iyon lang ang kanilang kakainin.
C. Binge Eating
Binge-eating disorder is a serious eating disorder in which you frequently consume
unusually large amounts of food and feel unable to stop eating.
For Binge Eating, heto naman ang mga taong talagang napakalakas kumain ng
sobra at hinding hindi nila mapigilan ang kanilang sariling hindi kumain ng marami.

diseases and health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and
certain cancers.
E. Body Dysmorphic Disorder
A mental health disorder in which you can't stop thinking about one or more
perceived defects or flaws in your appearance — a flaw that appears minor or can't be
seen by others. But you may feel so embarrassed, ashamed and anxious that you may
avoid many social situations.
For this disorder naman, sobrang napaka intouch nila sa kanilang sariling itsura.
Konting nunal lang sa mukha akala nila panget na sila at napeperwisyo na nito ang
kanilang mga itsura kung saan para sa iba ito ay okay lang at wala naman problema pero
sa kanilang talagang sobrang nagpapapangit na ito sa kanila.

FACTORS AFFECTING PHYSICAL GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT
 Physical growth and development is a product of hereditary and environment.

HEREDITY is the inheritance of traits; ENVIRONMENT is learning and experiences
(Diet, diseases, nutrition).
 Environmental factors such as diet, nutrition and disease play an important role in
individual physical development.
 Sex and other physical traits are determined by the combination of chromosomes
and gens during fertilization when the egg and sperm cells unite.
 Chromosomes, threadlike tissue that contains genes which consists of 23 pairs.
 The first 22 pairs are the gene chromosomes and the last pair will be the one who
are responsible on the sex of the offspring which depends on the pairing.

 The sex of an offspring depends on the pairing of the sex chromosomes (23 rd) from
the father and mother. Genes are basic carrier of hereditary traits and are classified
as dominant (strong genes) and recessive genes (weak genes).
Lahat tayo dadaan sa pagtand. Lahat tayo ay pupunta ditto dahil tayo ay mga tao at
iyon ay isa sa mga bagay na hindi natin matatakasan kasabay ng karamdaman at
pagkamatay. There are some factors kung bakit iba iba ang ating mga itsura at pisikal na
kaanyuan. Tulad ng nature or ang ating mga genes. Kung bakit ka maputi dahil sa genes
ng mga magulang mo along with kung bakit ka matangkad. Other factor is the nurture or
yung environment. Kung bakit ka maitim siguro dahil sa lagi kang expose sa araw. Kung
bakit ka payat dahil siguro nagdadiet ka etc. Kung ano ang gender mo at other traits mo or
yung genes naten is because of the chromosomes we had.
CHROMOSOMAL ABNORMALITIES

A. Down Syndrome
Baby will have 3 copies of chromosome number 21. This is called trisomy 21.
B. Edwards' Syndrome/ Trisomy 18
Baby with Edwards' syndrome has three copies of chromosome number 18, instead
of two. This includes a small, abnormally shaped head, a small jaw and mouth, long fingers
that overlap, with under developed low-set ears.
C. Turner Syndrome
A condition that affects only females, results when one of the X chromosomes is
missing or partially missing. Wide or web-like neck, Broad chest with widely spaced
nipples, swelling of the hands and feet.
D. Cri Du Chat Syndrome
Also known as 5p- syndrome or cat cry syndrome, caused by the deletion of genetic
material on the small arm (the p arm) of chromosome 5.
E. Klinefelter’s Syndrome
A genetic condition that results when a boy is born with an extra copy of the X
chromosome. It may affect testicular growth, which can lead to lower production of
testosterone. The cause reduced muscle mass, reduced body and facial hair, and enlarged

Kapag nagkaroon ng kakulangan o totally wala sa chromosomes ng isang tao,
several abnormalities will emerged. Kapag halimbawa instead na XX for woman, nagging

THEORIES OF PHYSICAL SELF
Theory of Physiognomy suggests that a person’s physical characteristics such as
facial features and expressions and body structures could be related to a person’s
character or personality. According to ancient Chinese practice of face reading, the face is
a three dimensional reflection of “who we are and how life has affected us”.
May mga teoryang nagsasabi kung bakit iba iba nag mga itsura naten, ano ang ibig
sabihin ng mga mukha naten, mga katawan naten at iba pa. Theory of Physionomy, na
nagsasabing kung ano ang facial features mo or expression ay maaring related ito sa iyong
ugali at personalidad. Kung ikaw ay lagging nakatawa sat wing nakakakita ng tao, kung
magbabase sa teoryang to, ikaw ay may masayahing ugali.
Five Element Theory questions which

makes us of the elements of water, wood, fire,
earth and metal as archetypes for everything
occurring in the natural world? Each element
corresponds to season, body major organs,
and behavioral tendencies.
Theory of Body Fluids - Any deficiency
or excess in the four body fluid influences
person’s personality, temperament and being
(Hippocrates).
A. SANGUINE TYPE - They tend to be impulsive, cheerful, happy and optimistic, highly
talkative, active, social more extroverted, charismatic, have hard time doing nothing and
engage in more risk seeking behaviors.
B. MELANCHOLIC - They tend to be depressed and pessimistic, detailed oriented, strives
for perfections with themselves and surroundings leads to detailed behavior. They are also
often anxious.
C. CHOLERIC - They tend to easily angry, jumpy and temperamental, independent, goal
oriented, ambitious, good natural leaders.
D. PHLEGMATIC - They tend to low spirited, forgetful, and have white hair.
As per Hippocrates, kung may kakulangan or kasobrahan sa body fluids naten, may
pagbabago rin sa ating pagkatao at pag uugali. For the sanguine personality type, sila yung
mga taong pabigla bigla, masayahin at may positive outlook sa buhay. Dahil sila yung mga

taong masayahin, talagang palakaibigan sila. Sila yung laging busy, hindi sila mapakali
kapag wala silang ginagawa. Kung maingay, maingay talaga sila at mas gusto nilang gawin
yung mga bagay na posibleng maglalagay sa kanila sa alanganin, if may sanguine
personality type ako, hahawakan ko ang paputok na malapit ng pumutok bago ko ihagis.
Kabaligtaran ng Sanguine, ang taong may melancholic type naman ay medyo may pagka
negative outlook, talagang detalye kung detalye sila kung kaya gusto nila na perpekto ang
mga bagay na natatapos nila kung kaya minsan sila ay laging nagtatanong at nag
aalanganin. Sa choleric naman sila yung madaling magalit, paiba iba, goal oriented,
mapangarap at magaling pagdating sa pamumuno. Panghuli as Phlegmatic, tulad ng
plema, sila ung malalambot at sluggish.
WILLIAM SHELDON’S BODY-TYPE THEORY
(based on physical characteristics)
A. Ectomorph - Tall and thin body type. People who
have this body type be restrained, quiet, introvert and
artistic.
B. Mesomorph - Strong and muscular body. They
tend to be energetic, adventurous, assertive and
courageous, dominant and competitive.
C. Endomorph - Soft and plump. They tend to be
easy going and sociable.
As suggested by Sheldon naman, based sa physical appearance naten which is our
body shape, may mga karampatang kahulugan ang bawat hubog ng katawan ng tao. For
ectomorph or mga matatangkad na payat, sila daw yung mga introverted people at dahil
introvert sila, sila ay tahimik at artistic. Sa mga mesomorph naman or mga muscular na tao,
sila daw yung adventurous, energetic, nangunguna at competitive. For the endomorph o
mga chubby, sila daw yung pala kaibigan at easy going. Tara kape, tara angg isasagot ni
mesomorph.
JEAN HANER’S WISDOM OF THE FACE
a. Oval shaped faces are hospitable and tactful. They also tend to be a perfectionist
and aggressive.
b. Round shaped faces tend to be friendly, kindhearted and selfless.
c. Triangle shaped faces tends to be creative, artistic, sensitive and determined.
d. Heart shaped faces tend to be patient and intuitive in nature.
e. Diamond shape face tends to be very detailed oriented and like to be in control.
f. Square shaped tend to be witty, good leaders and analytical.

feel about their body and physical
appearance.

SELF ESTEEM
Is a person’s overall evaluation of his own worth.
Body image o yung pano naten tignan ang ating mga sarili ay napaka impprtante
lalo na sa mga kabataan ngayon. Inaapektuhan nito ang panlabas na itsura ng tao at ang
kanyang sikolohikal syempre or kung pano sya mag isip. Kung ikaw ay mataba at maitim,
agad ang evaluation ng iba sayo ay hindi maganda dahil para sa kanila ang tunay na
depinisyon ng maganda ay pagiging maputi, pagiging sexy etc kung kaya pati kung paano
sila mag isip ay naapektuhan ng kanilang pisikal na kaanyuan lalu na sa mga kabataan
ngayon. Ang mga babae ngayon talagang gusto nila is sumasabay sila sa kanilang
henrasyon, kung ano ang nakikita nila sa media talagang ginagaya nila. Dahil kung ang
media ay pilit tayong tinuturuan na ang tunay na depinisyon ng maganda ay ganto, habang
buhay tayo maghahanap at gagasta para lang makamit naten ang kagandahang binibigay
ng media sources naten. Kung kaya’t may mga tinatawag tayong idolo, idolo dahil
maganda at sexy sila kung kayat gagayahin naten sila. Maraming kabataan ngayon ay
nagkakaroon ng dissatisfaction sa katawan at nagreresulta sa depresyon at kawalang
tiwala sa sarili. Hanggang may media, hanggat may patalastas na pampaganda,

makakalimutan naten ang na ang isang sangkap ng pagiging maganda ay ang

pagkakaroon ng magandang kalooban at pag uugali. Kung kaya upang makasabay sa
kagandahang sinsambit ng media, maraming tao ang nagpapagawa ng kung ano ano sa
katawan upang maging maganda ang pisikal na kaanyuan. At ito ang tinawag na body
modification.
BODY MODIFICATION
A. Tattooing – injects ink onto the skin to draw
a design.
B. Make Ups – also can be a permanent
tattoo.
C. Piercing – lets people wear jewelry
throughout different piercings in their body
such as nose, ears and tongue. Traditionally,
tattooing and piercing were considered signs
of strengths, bravery and social status.
D. Cosmetic Surgery – Includes surgical or
non-surgical procedures to restore,
reconstruct, or alter body parts. This
includes breast enhancement, nose lift,
liposuction or botox. Involves health risks and allergies, whitening pills which might
resulted from use of unclean and poor quality equipment.
Some people nowadays modify or pinapalitan, nagpapagawa ng additional sa
kanilang mga pangangatawan para makapasok sa mismong depinisyon ng kagandahan na
bumase sa kung ano ang sinasabi ng kanilang kapaligiran. Pero may mga cases na kung
saan napapasobrahan na ang pagpapamodify sa kanilang mga pangangatawan na
nagreresulta sa sakit at pagsisi.
THE IMPORTANCE OF BEAUTY
Beauty remains important in the society.

Attractive people are favored in the society.
Attractive people are easily find jobs.
Attractive peoples as viewed by others tend to be happier, smarter and better
people.
 Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
 It is important to see people inside not just their appearance. Being good inside is
the most beautiful.
 In Egyptian art, beauty is perceived in woman with slim, high waist, narrow hips, and
long black hair.
 In Contrast, woman with a full figure
and rounded hips were considered
beautiful during the Renaissance
period.
 During medieval age, chubby, fat or
plump woman are considered to be
beautiful.
 In Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia,
used to consider flat noses to be

unblemished skin, thick skinny hair, well-proportioned bodies, and symmetrical faces
are traditionally considered the most beautiful.
 Beauty has been always considered important because it symbolizes youth, health,
good genes and fertility.
 People tend to be influenced by the beautiful faces and bodies in they see in media
in the way they can determine what is beautiful and not.
 Advertisements, magazines, and televisions are filled with good looking faces which
emphasize the value of physical attractiveness.
 As long as a fashion industry dictates what is beautiful, many people can never be
satisfied with their bodies.
 The reality, however, is that beauty standards presented in media are so unrealistic,
that even the most beautiful and handsome supermodels cannot achieve it.
REMEMBER: People tend to judged others based on physical appearance. However,
physical appearance alone is not enough to know a person’s true character. It is important
to see into person’s inner thoughts and feelings. Above all things physical, it is more
important to be beautiful on the inside.
Here are the some ways to improve your body image and inner self:
 Smile a lot.
 Take good care of your health.
 Live a well-balanced life.
 Dress well and be neat.
 Spend some time alone to reflect.
 Be creative and do something new all the time.
 Develop a wholesome attitude toward sex.
 Avoid temptations.
 Respect individually.
 Make friends, face your fears, be independent and ask and listen.
 Accept things as they are.
 Think positive, pray, count your blessings and be thankful.
Lagi nating isipin na huwag tayong magpakalulong sa tunay na depinisyon ng
kagandahang pisikal. Ating tandaan na hindi lamang panlabas na anyo ang kailangan
isaalang alang kundi pati na rin ang panloob dahil hindi lahat ng tao ay babase sa pisikal.
Sabi nga, ang kagandahang pisikal ay lilipas rin ngunit kung paano ka kinilala ng mga tao
bilang isang mabuting tao, lumipsa man ang napakraming henerasyon, ito’y hindi
makakalimutan. Kung iyong titignan, maraming benepisyo rin ang pagiging maganda kung
kaya’t lahat ng tao ay nais itong makamtan. Kung ikaw ay balak mamasukan bilang isang
modelo, commercial model or any fashionable works, ano ang unang titignan? Kung
maganda ka, maputi ka. Kung ikaw ay sasali sa patimpalak ng pagandahan, unang unang
titignan sayo ay iyong kutis mo, tangkad mo at kagandahan mo. Ibig sabihin, ang pagigging
maganda ay isang gamit upang mapabilis ang pagkamit ng trabaho, pangarap, at iba pang
bagay na nais ng isang tao. Kapag maganda ka, attractive ka. Kapag maganda ka mabait
ka, pero hinding hindi natin malalamn ang tunay na ugali ng tao base sa kanyang panlabas
na itsura, kung makakasama mo sya ng matagal, doon ka magdesisyon sap ag uugali nito.
Nasa komunidad at isipan na kase ng tao na kapag maganda ka, nasayo na ang kabutihan
at kapag wala ka sa label ng pagiging maganda para sa kanila, ikaw ay masama o hindi
dapat pakisamahan. Kung ikaw ay maraming tattoo, ano ang iisipin sa iyo? Masama,
criminal, barumbado. Iyan ay galling sa kung ano ang tinuro ng media at komunidad naten.
Uulitin ko, ang tunay na kagandahan ay ang kagandahang panloob na kailanman’y hindi
matutumbasan ng kung ano.
