A Beauty

I'm not a beauty blogger, and this blog is not a beauty blog, obviously. But as a woman, I really want to share my opinion about beauty. As you know, beauty is something that woman really put much effort to get.

The definition of beauty is not always the same to every person. It depends on what values ones hold. But in general, our people define beauty as 'good looking'. Moreover, media has succesfully educate us that beauty is having a white skin, a small face, a sharp chin, thick eyebrows, and this and that. What funny is that definition always change time to time. Therefore you need to set your own standard of beauty.

I'm 24 now and I don't like make up. I love my bare face. I only use daily defense cream for the sake of sun protection, and little bit lip balm because I have a very very dry lip. I use lipstick once in a while but trust me, I look weird using it.

But just for your information, I like to take care of my skin. My mother once said, 'all you need to look beautiful is a healthy skin'. I like trying some skin care products. By skin care product I mean ones that I can afford of course. I barely use an expensive product. I use drug-store products that you can easily find at supermarket. (oh yes, I'm currently using a products from the doctor because I got a little problem back then, and that product is little bit pricey but trust me the price is worthy).

For me, the price is not a guarantee to get a beautiful skin. All that matter is a day-to-day maintenance. Yes, I believe in consistency. And my skin care routine is not as complicated as me, haha. I only use a basic treatment: cleansing and moisturizing. Small things that matter most.

HAHAHA I just realized I'm talking too much about myself.
Anyways, what I want to tell you is another definition of beauty. I have some friends who are not beautiful according to our society's beauty standards, but look way more beautiful than those models on magazines or television.

I have a friend who has a brilliant brain, that's beautiful. I have a friend who never say 'no' to everyone who's asking for help, that's beautiful. I have a friend who always be a number one supporter for her friends, that's beautiful. I have a friend who always be cheerfull and share happines to her surroundings, that's beautiful. And many more things that I got from everyone around me that shows how beautiful they are.

Beauty is not only about appearance. It's something that comes from inside. Perhaps this is what we call inner beauty. Yes, physical beauty attracts people's attention, inner beauty wins people's heart. If you are a girl, and you were born with a natural beauty, consider you're lucky. But if you were not, here's the beauty tips for you: 

be a helping hand everyone need, be a good listener everyone can share their story with, or just simply be happy, be confident, be kind to everyone, be positive and share it to your surrounding,

Because no makeup or skin care product can ever replace the kindness within you.

Oh yeah, don't forget to put on your cute smile :)

you're welcome ðŸ˜Œ

Glimpse of Memorable Memories

I am writing this with Kiss the Rain and Stay in Memory by Yiruma playing in Youtube. It seriously making me baper . I am trying to remember every single thing we've been through together in the past 3 months. But this is not gonna be a long post that show every details. It's just the voice of  my heart (I don't know how to say curahan hati in English). Sorry if there are some things missed. Our story started at 29th of November 2015. In the day before the opening of our course program, we decided to meet in the gate of ITB for looking for a language center building. There were only 8 of us. Some of us maybe already knew each other because we came from the same region. But mostly, that was our first meet. Oh yes, I already met Cintya the beautiful moon accidentally in Juanda airport before. The next day, we finally met each other. All of us. I remember we sat in the front, introduced our name and the place where we came from. I also remember the Jembernese came togethe...

Perempuan, jodoh dan S2.

Kemarin saya dan Mama saya ngobrol santai di meja makan. Tiba-tiba bahasannya menyerempet ke arah jodoh. Sebenarnya saya selalu menghindari topik macam begini dengan keluarga saya. " Kamu kalau udah umur 25 belum nikah, udah susah cari jodoh nanti. S2 lagi" Tante saya juga pernah bilang : "Kamu nggak mau sama si X? Dia S2 juga loh" Wkwk xD Ada yang perlu saya luruskan disini: Saya tidak pernah menganggap kuliah sebagai sarana mencari ijazah lalu pamer gelar dan lantas pilih-pilih teman apalagi jodoh. Allah tidak menilai orang dari ijazah, lantas saya siapa mau pilih suami dari strata pendidikan? Wkwk. Alasan saya melanjutkan studi S2 bukan biar uang panai jadi tinggi macam yang di meme itu xD. Bahkan kalau misalnya saya juga menganggap diri saya sebuah barang yang bisa dilabeli dengan harga, saya juga tidak akan melabeli diri saya dengan harga tinggi. Kenapa? Saya yang tau  diri saya dengan semua kekurangannya. Dari segi akademik saya bukan mahasiswa yan...

Pada Deretan Huruf

Pada deretan huruf, aku tuliskan cerita. Tentang kita yang menyapa pagi, meramu siang, dan menghimpun malam. Kita yang sebelumnya tak saling kenal, dunia kita tak bersentuhan, lingkaran kita tak beririsan, lantas dipertemukan dalam suatu epidode yang mengakrabkan kita dengan cara istimewa. Pada deretan huruf, aku abadikan kisah. Tentang kau dan aku yang beda, yang tak serupa, tapi berjalan beriringan. Setiap kata merapalkan kejujuran, bahwa setiap beda tak mesti bertentang. Hal yang kadang membuat kita berdebat, nyatanya tetap bisa membuat kita tertawa bersama. Pada deretan huruf, aku rekam setiap momen. Tentang kau yang memahamkanku bahwa dunia bukanlah ruang sempit. Ia tak melulu tentang barat dan timur, atau utara dan selatan. Kau pula yang memahamkanku bahwa kita adalah bagian dari milyaran manusia, yang tertakdir bertemu disini. Pada deretan huruf, aku bekukan kenangan. Tentang kita yang selalu berceloteh bahwa hari seperti dilipat, dan harapan agar ia bisa sedikit melambat....
