Whenever I read articles about women that made a mark in our history,  it always brings joy to my heart. They always served as an inspiration to every woman out there and that these people should be looked up to. These women leave a message that a woman we can do something to change our society in every way. We are God given gifts to everyone that we have to impart those blessings that we receive from HIM. These women in the history are our mirror; from every battle they fought we should also follow their steps and be brave enough to face our own struggles in life just like Corazon Aquino. From her simple life as a housewife she faced the challenge of the Filipino people for her to lead the nation and regain our democracy. She is indeed an iconic woman of history.

HER FASHION STYLE:

Corazon Aquino left a trademark in fashion. She is well known for wearing yellow dresses and  yellow accents. Every time we hear her name we can picture her wearing something yellow, isn’t it? Yellow symbolizes optimism, enlightenment, and happiness. Yellow color is accompanied for carrying the promise of a positive future, energy and creative thoughts. Maybe these are the things that Mrs. Aquino wants to impart to us – to have a positive outlook in life.

Fashion for Career Women

Career women can be defined as working women. These are women who work to earn a living, to provide for their families necessities and save money for their future use. Nowadays women don’t just stay in their homes and do household chores, wait for their husbands and kids to arrive and cook dinner for them. Instead of doing that they look for jobs and works probably in office and other  establishments they make use of their talents and skills in order for these women to fit for the job.

My blog now is all about how career women dress up for work and how they make themselves fashionable and stylistic. Career women should appropriately dress up according to the nature of their jobs. We, women must be aware of the latest fashion trends appropriate for your work environment. Dress smart to be competitive. Remember that before stepping out of your room be always prepared to look your best for work. Style your best whether you are an executive, assistant or on the sales. Position does not matter a career women must look at her best. We can mix and match with the other wardrobe we have. Career women must be flexible in every way. Versatility is important to be good in business presentation.

           Career is an important thing to consider in women lives. Once a woman established their career  they should make the most out of it. They can gain more confidence when they are fashionably dress up for work.

         Our profession lies on how we look. It is the thing that brought us to higher level or another step of  our career.

         Women must be idealistic when it comes to their fashion taste. They must look smart yet confident enough to bring up themselves. Fashion for women does not only mean “the wardrobe” or anything that you put on. Fashion also includes your hairstyle, make up, stilettos, bags to put on and other stuffs that is match up your office outfit.  Hence if you would be able to put this together, a woman can come up as a professional yet fashionable career woman.         

             

              

Why I Chose to Pursue A Career in Education?

Que Sera Sera
  by: Doris Day
                                                               
"When I was just a little girl                            
I asked my mother, what will I be
Will I be pretty, will I be rich
Here's what she said to me."

Ever since childhood days I was always wondering on what course i would take in college. The first thing that comes into my mind is to become a teacher.Sometimes my mother would ask me question like "What would you like to become?" and i would answer "I would like to be an English teacher someday".

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

Teaching is really my passion. For me it is a career that has no limit, it's a never ending profession that even if your in your sixty's still you can teach as long as you could. I like the feeling that you can impart or share knowledge to your students. You're like a parent teaching your child his first ABC.

"When I was young, I fell in love
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
Will we have rainbows, day after day
Here's what my sweetheart said."

The main reason why chose to pursue in this career is that I have the heart for it. It is really an important thing that you have to put your heart and mind in a certain career  because all would be just easy for you. And if you have done your best you will excel and everything good will follow.
 
 Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

Being a teacher, an educator or a mentor could be the fulfillment of my dreams just like a single piece of a puzzle that could complete my life. It is a noble profession I want to attain in life. Teachers role are unique in every way. They provide education to everyone and that is what I want in life to impart something that is worthy of.

   I am really interested on how women established their career. I like women struggling with their everyday busy schedules. How they cope up with the job given to them. Women with strong personalities, inspiring everyone around them, and behind this women are amazing stories about their relationships.

  I am a person who looks up to successful women who always think ahead, optimistic and idealistic.
