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

Ramadhan

 Walaupun masih banyak sekali kekurangan, Ramadhan tahun ini ternyata merupakan salah satu Ramadhan terbaik yang bisa saya jalani. Anak yang sudah lebih besar dan mandiri, jarak tempat tinggal dan kantor yang hanya 5 langkah, dan jam kerja yang lebih fleksibel, mungkin adalah beberapa hal yang membuat Ramadhan kali ini terasa lebih khidmat. Ramadhan-ramadhan sebelumnya sebagai ibu hamil, menyusui, ibu dengan bayi menuju toddler, jam kerja yang masih padat, membuat saya kewalahan dalam mengatur ibadah. Puasa jelas banyak yang ketinggalan. Sholat sunnah sebisanya saja, yang penting sholat wajib tidak ketinggalan. Sholat tarawih dan Qur'an? Selalu diusahakan sebisanya. Duo ibadah primadona di bulan Ramadhan ini harus diikhlaskan karena masih sering ketempelan bocil. Meskipun kadang merasa sedih karena Ramadhan selalu menjadi waktu istimewa untuk umat Muslim, nyatanya saya hanya bisa melaluinya dengan ibadah 'alakadarnya'. Lalu saya bertemu dengan sebuah nasihat dari ukhti fill...

31

 Kebetulan kemarin baru ulang tahun yang ke 31 bareng suami, dan kami merayakannya di UGD Rumah Sakit :))) Alhamdulillah ala kulli haal Dalam sebulan belakangan ada cukup banyak pemicu stress yang bikin saya cukup kewalahan. Tapi selama saya bisa punya waktu tidur malam yang cukup, maka saya baik-baik saja. 2 diantara stressor tersebut adalah berita duka yang begitu mendadak. Sebagai sesorang yang takut kehilangan, dada saya sesak setiap kali mengingat kejadiannya. Salah satu keluarga yang kami sayangi berpulang, begitu cepat. Semakin memahamkan saya bahwa kematian itu begitu dekat. Bahwa hidup kita cuma sebentar saja di dunia. Setiap kali ada berita duka, selain mendoakan almarhum, saya juga berdoa semoga Allah memberi kelapangan untuk keluarga yang ditinggalkan, karena memang sesakit itu merasakan perubahan yang mendadak, butuh waktu cukup lama untuk membiasakan diri dengan ketiadaan seseorang. Saya pun berdoa jika kelak orang tua saya yang dipanggil duluan, hati saya diberi kela...

After They Left

I used to like to be alone. I can do anything I want without worrying about others. I always enjoy my me-time. I like to go to anywhere with myself because going with others will make me be depending on them. I liked to explore new places with myself. Yes, my self is enough for my company. I enjoyed being with my own. I liked to stay at my room for hours (with bunch of snacks, good movies, good dramas, good books). I didn't need any internet connection, I never touched my phone, and the door and window were always closed. Yes, I really enjoyed that. Sometimes, I went to the public space just with my own. Looking at the people, taking picture, doing silly things, alone. Sometimes I just went around the city by motorcycle with no direction. Alone. Sometimes I spent hours in bookstore (Being surrounded by books is my mood booster). Alone. No, I'm not an introvert. Ask my close friends or family, they know me really well. I just feel comfortable with my own company. I have m...
