As part of
being the Preview September cover girl, Belle Mariano sat down to answer
questions from fans. The questions ranged from serious ones to not so…As she
answered the questions, we do not just learn her stance on certain things but
truly end up learning a thing or two about life that can really help us
improve.
Finding
solutions
Belle was
asked which she would prefer should she have to choose: not having eyebrows or
not having eyelashes. Quite hilarious, if you imagine not having one or the
other. We have accepted people not having any hair on their heads, but not the
lashes and eyebrows. It can be strange, but notice how Belle handled the
question and how she came up with her answer. She immediately went on to think
about the solution to each situation, saying that false lashes and eyeliners
can help. In a way, you’d see that she will not really fret should she
end up losing them.
You’d say
she is not typical in looking at the solution before answering the question,
but this is one good attitude to have. Focus on finding ways to solve the
problem, instead of overthinking the problem too much that can make it larger
than it truly is. It seems she is trained to see the possibilities and not the
limitations. This is a good way to start
All of the above
Belle was
asked to pick between having comfortable or stylish clothing. Belle proceeded
to say that she wants both. For one, Belle is no slave to fashion. She will not
favor the look if her comfort level will be sacrificed. She makes a valid case
for the fact that being comfortable with your clothes will also help carry the
clothes well. And it would be best, though, if you can find a way to choose
clothes that are both comfortable and
stylish. Take note that they are both
important, so as Belle is trying to say, do not sacrifice one over the other.
It is important not to be itching all over while wearing something or feeling
pain with high heels. It is also important to present yourself to others well.
Stepping Stones
We know that
Belle is constantly the subject of hateful comments on soc med especially since
she was announced to be portraying the role of Maxpein Del Valle. Note that she
never clapped back, nor did she give up. She took it as a challenge to prove
the naysayers wrong. And her answer to this question is quite consistent to
that attitude that she exhibited. Here
is her answer verbatim:
“By not
taking them as something to ruin you, but something to help you improve. “
Our initial
reaction when criticisms are hurled would be to get mad and feel bad, but here
is Belle Mariano teaching us to flip it. For one, this advice comes from
different levels of being mature in handling stuff. She is aware that there is
always room for improvement, and that comments that may not be nice is one way
of getting feedback. She is showing us that she is very sure of herself, and
she is not afraid of admitting if she has flaws that she can still improve. She
also shows that we should do self- reflection to see if the comments have
merits.
We can definitely learn from this. Think of the comments as something that you
can use to better yourself and not to make you lost your focus on the task or
goal at hand. Who knows, these comments may be helpful to you? I remembered a teacher once telling me that it is up to me if I use stones hurled at me as stumbling blocks or stepping stones.
Scents of Comfort
She was
asked about her favorite scent, and she said she loves her mom’s scent because
aside from being sweet, (comma) it provides her with comfort. It seems Belle
likes to sniff people close to her. It gives her comfort. There was this
research somewhere that says that women likes to smell, and even associate them
with feelings. I know that any Bubbly worth their salt has seen the vids. Go
figure.
Much has
been said about Belle. One thing is sure, though, you cannot discount the fact
that she is matured beyond her years, and she is a good role model as she shows
us a thing or two about life.
