My wife is from the Philippines. I am from Scotland, and we two very intelligent and handsome/beautiful children. We live in San Diego, Calif. U.S.
I am a Register Nurse with a Master's Degree.
To be honest with you, there is nothing you can do to make your body grow taller. Do take your daily MultiVitamin, and Anti-oxidents, and especially take 1,000 milligrams of Calcium a day to strengthen and protect your bones, and exercise (cardio - The Firm is excellent. My wife and I exercise with the Firm 1 hr. a day)
daily. Eat three healthy balanced meals a day, always drinking one full glass of water b4 meals
You can wear high heels as my wife often does. My wife is 5'4 also. But to be honest with you, that height is just about perfect for a woman, especially to European and American men. I am not sure what Filipino men think and feel about a woman that is 5"4. Most probably think the same as European men as well.
Most importantly, be thankful and happy for exactly what you look like, your height included.
Be comfortable and secure with your body and with your true self = your mind. If you have this kind of a healthy, wholesome self-esteem, you will be at peace with yourself. And then others will observe and see this in you, and will be drawn to you.
Be kind to yourself. Love and accept yourself.
You are very beautiful and highly intelligent. All Filipina women are !! Be proud of Yourself !!
Always be very patient with yourself and always
forgive yourself for all your past, any present, and any future mistakes you will make.
Happy Holidays to you, and to your family.
P.S. - I love the Philippines. Since my wife and I have been married, we have been to the Philippines 7 times, and our two young children have been there twice. Enjoy and love your life!

I'm sorry sweety.....there really isn't anything that's going to help you of any real significance.
MOST men like women your height......myself included. You're the perfect height for cuddling, holding, hugging and walking with. Love who you are....or learn to love who you are, especially those things you cannot change. Otherwise you are setting yourself up for perpetual disappointments.
The things that make you unhappy today can be a blessing tomorrow. Things that are not good today can and usually are wonderful later.
Enhance othere things about yourself that you can make changes in. Clothes, physique, intelligence, hair color, social skills....that kind of thing.
As far as I'm concerned, you're the perfect height! A LOT of other men think the same way too.
Don't look at what you don't hae, look at the good qualities you do have.
:)

Shorter people (of equal health) live longer than taller people, simply because their hearts don't have to fight gravity as much. It's a fact!
Be happy being who you are. You will waste your whole life trying to be someone else!

Girls stop growing around 17. There are growth hormones that could help. See your doctor

I suggest working your leg muscles. Running, swimming, biking, basketball.

There's nothing wrong with your height.
