Media on Body-image: Its Power, Negative Influence and Effects

Introduction Body image is a subjective picture of one's own physical appearance established both by self-observation and by noting the reactions of others. (Merriam-Webster Dictionary) . Take note, that body image is established through what the eyes see and what others may perceive. As statistics and studies show, Media play a large, and often negative, role in shaping young women’s ideas about how they should look, including television and music (radio and recordings) videos and movies, computers, print media, and video games. (Source: The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, 2009).

Strip Off!

It's not what you are thinking! In Hebrews 12:1, the writer urges that; ' Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.' If you are serious with your run for Jesus, you must also be willing to strip down whatever slows you down in the path of righteousness and especially sins that easily trips us up. Why? Witnessed Life of Faith The writer urges because 'we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith'. This can be bith interpreted as a promise and a challenge. As a promise, if you read back the previous chapter, Hebrews 11 or what many calls as the 'Chapter of Faith', it gave examples of those who were recorded in the scriptures who lived out their faith. We can strip it down because we have such a huge crowd of witnesses

Tula sa Nangungulila

Missing someone(s) right now. So I'll write right now. Di mo man ako pansinin, Ibaliwala ang pagsuyo at pagtingin, Basta huwag mo laging kalimutan, Ikaw ay nasa aking mga panalangin. Di kita tatantanan o bibitawan, Makita ko lang ang inaasam na pagbabago. Mawala na ang inyong lumang pagkatao, At maghari ang Buhay ni Kristo! Ngayong araw, ikaw ay nasa aking mga dasal, Alam mo man o Hindi, Ako'y nananabik para sa iyo. Hanggang sa makita kang muli. Sa aking harap at sa iyong tabi. English Translation: You might not notice me now, Don't mind my persuasion and affection. Just don't always forget, You are always in my prayers. I will not leave you alone or let you go, Until I finally see the change for you I've longed for. That your old you be gone, And see the life of Christ in you! Today, You are in my prayers, You might know or not, I am longing for you, Until I finally see you again. Face to face and by your side.

Pagkaun Sa Kalag na Gigutom

Here is my Bisaya Poetry. Walay lami ang pagkaun nimo kung walay kan-on, Nganong dili man ing-ana ang sa imong Espiritu intawon? Dapat murag Pamahaw, Paniudto ug Panihapun ang pulong sa Ginoo, Ayaw gyud daginuton! Kay basig tambok ug dako imong lawas, Gamay ug niwang man diay sa sulod! Hala pagkaun na sa Kan-on na Iyahang Pulong, Ayaw Hulat na imong lawas buhi ug kusgan, Pero imong kalag diay namatay na kay nagut-man. English Translation: Food is tasteless and not satisfying without Rice, Why isn't it like that with our Spiritual Life? It should be like Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner with the Word of God, Don't make it thrifty! For you might be fat and big in body, But small and petite in the inside no one can see! Come now eat the rice of His Word, Don't wait for your body be alive and strong, But your body has been dead with hunger all along.
