Timeless Beauty Meaning Novels & Stories

“Ralia! Aleron! You both look stunning tonight!” “Thank you,” sagot ko, smooth at composed. Habang nakaupo kami sa VIP table, may lumapit na fashion editor. “Ralia, can we get a quick comment about your look tonight?” I crossed my legs elegantly, making sure the slit of my gown fell perfectly. “I wanted something timeless,” sagot ko. “Hindi ‘yung trendy lang for the moment. I believe elegance never expires.”

Tila muling nagpupuyos ang kaniyang dibdib habang nagpapalitan ng paninitig sa babaeng matagal-tagal na niyang hindi nakita ngunit kailanman ay hindi na niya ninais pa na masilayan. A place like this beautiful requires a goddess that is its equal but what standing in front of her is beyond that beauty. The lady that can look like as young as the princess but way older that her by centuries is showcasing her eternal beauty while wearing a gold tight backless long dress with a touch of white like a scattered paint.

Lahat ay nakikinig. “I added the word ‘Me’ because six years ago, I lost my sense of beauty because I let someone else define it for me. I was a mess. I was broken. I built this brand to remind every woman that she can look in the mirror and say, ‘I am the most beautiful.’ It’s not a gift from the world. It’s a gift you give to yourself.” Dahan-dahang ibinaba ni Victoria ang kanyang sunglasses. Isang bihirang pagpapakita ng paghanga.

Mommy told me to dress up because that would be formal. I stared at my reflection for the last time. I braided my long hair. I applied liptint 'cause I am not fond of lipsticks. My complexion's fair and white. Minsan nakabase kasi ang kagandahan mo sa kulay ng kutis mo. I sometimes hate it though. We should appreciate beauty regardless of the race, skin color and nationality. Sabi nila, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I beg to disagree. It must be a matter of appreciating all features. Walang maganda. Walang pangit. Everyone was deserving of the attention. "Tara na, 'nak." Tumango ako kay Mommy saka sumunod sa likuran niya.

Hindi tatalab sa akin ang bullying. “Masiyado akong maganda para matakot sa kanila. Baka nga makita pa lang ako ng bampira, ma-inlove na sa akin,” hindi sa pagmamayabang pero maganda talaga ako. “Mala model ang height ko, makinis ang balat, youthful face at higit sa lahat,”

"Asus, parang ikaw pa ang mukhang luging lugi, Slaine ha?" Nilingon ko siya at napansin ko ang sandali niyang pagtulala. "Ang ingay mo, sa simbahan ka pa naman." "Haven't I told you that you're beautiful tonight?" Umiwas ako ng tingin at inayos ang coat. "Kahit hindi mo sabihin alam ko naman iyon, hindi ka mababaliw sa akin ng gano'n kung hindi ako kagandahan, Jishu."

Na para bang may pa-quiz bee. "H-Hindi ba ay... pareho lang namang maganda?" sagot ko na tama naman? "No, for me it has a different definition." "Anong depenisyon mo doon?" Ngumiti siya. "Pretty is just a simple and plain word on how to say a woman looks pleasant, but the word beautiful... is another level." Nakinig lang ako at tumahimik nang hawiin niya ang mga hibla ng buhok ko nakatabon sa magkabilang pisngi ko at inipit sa likod ng tainga ko.

"Ako kasi, kaunting panahon na lang ang ilalagi ko sa mundong, 'to, aanhin ko pa ang maraming pera? Ang mga materyal na bagay? Sasakyan? Malaking bahay? Sa mga nalalabing taon, hindi pera ang g-gusto kong maipon... kung hindi magagandang alaala kasama ang mga a-anak ko... at ng mga apo ko..." I bit my lower lip. Hindi ko rin talaga napigilan na mapaluha sa mga salitang binitawan ng lolo. At si Beauty ay ganoon rin dahil nakita ko na nagpunas siya ng pisngi niya. "Mas mahalaga pa rin ang mga oras at sandali sa mga may edad na tulad ko na kasama ang mga anak namin. K-Kasama ang mga taong mahal na mahal namin sa buhay."

Peace enveloped me from within as I smiled and finally acknowledged my fate. "That's beautiful..." "How you see beauty in things." We are once introduced to the world as a beautiful sunrise and so we must leave at once as equally beautiful as a sunset. But before that, we must make the best out of our brightness to bring light to other people's lives. Some may find our rays blinding, others might find it as a sort of thing to convert into energy. And there might be times when clouds get in the way and seize our blaze. But these storms are there to clear the sky so that we can come back and spread our glow brighter. Until we no longer can. Until we set and leave a divine sight with the last o

tanong ng jeweler nang mapansin niyang matagal akong natahimik habang hawak ang singsing. "Yes. It's beautiful," pabulong kong sagot habang hinahaplos ang gilid ng band. "Actually, it reminds me of something she said before. Sabi niya, ang tunay na kagandahan ay hindi nakikita sa kung gaano kalaki ang isang bagay, kundi sa kung paano nito pinapanatili ang kaniyang liwanag kahit na napapaligiran siya ng dilim."
