Make Up

I know make up works like magic, it fixes complexions and other flaws on our face. As a woman, I love wearing make up because, I’ll admit, it makes me looks (obviously) and feel prettier. But I would never want to wear them excessively like wearing them literally EVERYDAY: going to classes or even to the gym (trust me, I know there are some women who wear friggin make up to the gym. I don’t get the point, really.) I only wear make up when I go out on the weekend for dinner or just hanging out at the mall and when there’s a special occasion like wedding or other party.

The reason why I don’t wear too much make up is because I want people to love me for who I really am. I don’t want to hide my flaws behind my make up. What you see is what you get. I know there are some women who really, really love to wear make up that they decide to wear it everyday and can’t go anywhere (even to the supermarket) without make up. For me, when people wear make up and people call them pretty, that’s not a real beauty. When you are not wearing any make up and people still call you pretty, then that is a real beauty. And that is the reason why I don’t wear make up that often: I want people to really call me pretty because I am truly pretty, not because my make up makes me pretty.

Make up sometimes does boost up our confidence to make us feel pretty. But when we wear it excessively it makes us excessively depends on it too. It’s like our confidence rely on our make up too much, so when we don’t put our make up on, our confidence is gone. My friend once told me that she has a friend who won’t meet her boyfriend if she doesn’t wear any make up. Pathetic, huh? Even her boyfriend doesn’t know how does her real face look like.

A pretty face is not enough without an inner beauty. You can wear all the best make up in the world to hide your physical flaws, but you can’t hide an ugly heart.

Looks may capture the eyes, but inner beauty captures the heart.

PIDATO ANAK 12 TH YANG MEMBUNGKAM PARA PEMIMPIN DUNIA DI PBB

Cerita ini berbicara mengenai seorang anak yg bernama Severn Suzuki,
seorang anak yg pada usia 9 tahun telah mendirikan Enviromental
Children’s Organization ( ECO ).

ECO sendiri adalah sebuah kelompok kecil anak yg mendedikasikan diri
untuk belajar dan mengajarkan pada anak” lain mengenai masalah
lingkungan.

Dan mereka pun diundang menghadiri Konfrensi Lingkungan hidup PBB,
dimana pada saat itu Severn yg berusia 12 Tahun memberikan sebuah
pidato kuat yg memberikan pengaruh besar ( dan membungkam ) beberapa
pemimpin dunia terkemuka.

Apa yg disampaikan oleh seorang anak kecil ber-usia 12 tahun hingga
bisa membuat RUANG SIDANG PBB hening, lalu saat pidatonya selesai
ruang sidang penuh dengan orang terkemuka yg berdiri dan memberikan
tepuk tangan yg meriah kepada anak berusia 12 tahun.

Inilah Isi pidato tersebut:

“Halo, nama Saya Severn Suzuki, berbicara mewakili E.C.O – Enviromental
Children Organization
Kami adalah kelompok dari Kanada yg terdiri dari anak-anak berusia 12
dan 13 tahun, yang mencoba membuat perbedaan: Vanessa Suttie, Morga,
Geister, Michelle Quiq dan saya sendiri. Kami menggalang dana untuk
bisa datang kesini sejauh 6000 mil untuk memberitahukan pada anda
sekalian orang dewasa bahwa anda harus mengubah cara anda, hari ini di
sini juga. Saya tidak memiliki agenda tersembunyi. Saya menginginkan
masa depan bagi diri saya saja.

Kehilangan masa depan tidaklah sama seperti kalah dalam pemilihan umum
atau rugi dalam pasar saham. Saya berada disini untuk berbicara bagi
semua generasi yg akan datang.

Saya berada disini mewakili anak-anak yg kelaparan di seluruh dunia
yang tangisannya tidak lagi terdengar.

Saya berada disini untuk berbicara bagi binatang-binatang yang sekarat
yang tidak terhitung jumlahnya diseluruh planet ini karena kehilangan
habitatnya. Kami tidak boleh tidak di dengar.

Saya merasa takut untuk berada dibawah sinar matahari karena
berlubangnya lapisan OZON. Saya merasa takut untuk bernafas karena
saya tidak tahu ada bahan kimia apa yg dibawa oleh udara.

Saya sering memancing di Vancouver bersama ayah saya hingga beberapa
tahun yang lalu kami menemukan bahwa ikan-ikannya penuh dengan kanker.
Dan sekarang kami mendengar bahwa binatang-binatang dan tumbuhan satu
persatu mengalami kepunahan tiap harinya – hilang selamanya.

Dalam hidup saya, saya memiliki mimpi untuk melihat kumpulan besar
binatang-binatang liar, hutan rimba dan hutan tropis yang penuh dengan
burung dan kupu-kupu. Tetapi sekarang saya tidak tahu apakah hal-hal
tersebut bahkan masih ada untuk dilihat oleh anak saya nantinya.

Apakah anda sekalian harus khawatir terhadap masalah-masalah kecil ini
ketika anda sekalian masih berusia sama serperti saya sekarang?

Semua ini terjadi di hadapan kita dan walaupun begitu kita masih tetap
bersikap bagaikan kita masih memiliki banyak waktu dan semua
pemecahannya. Saya hanyalah seorang anak kecil dan saya tidak memiliki
semua pemecahannya. Tetapi saya ingin anda sekalian menyadari bahwa
anda sekalian juga sama seperti saya!

Anda tidak tahu bagaimana caranya memperbaiki lubang pada lapisan ozon kita.
Anda tidak tahu bagaiman cara mengembalikan ikan-ikan salmon ke sungai
asalnya.
Anda tidak tahu bagaimana caranya mengembalikan binatang-binatang yang
telah punah.

Dan anda tidak dapat mengembalikan hutan-hutan seperti sediakala di
tempatnya, yang sekarang hanya berupa padang pasir. Jika anda tidak
tahu bagaima cara memperbaikinya. TOLONG BERHENTI MERUSAKNYA!

Disini anda adalah delegasi negara-negara anda. Pengusaha, anggota
perhimpunan, wartawan atau politisi – tetapi sebenarnya anda adalah
ayah dan ibu, saudara laki-laki dan saudara perempuan, paman dan bibi
- dan anda semua adalah anak dari seseorang.

Saya hanyalah seorang anak kecil, namun saya tahu bahwa kita semua
adalah bagian dari sebuah keluarga besar, yang beranggotakan lebih
dari 5 milyar, terdiri dari 30 juta rumpun dan kita semua berbagi
udara, air dan tanah di planet yang sama – perbatasan dan pemerintahan
tidak akan mengubah hal tersebut.

Saya hanyalah seorang anak kecil namun begitu saya tahu bahwa kita
semua menghadapi permasalahan yang sama dan kita seharusnya bersatu
untuk tujuan yang sama.

Walaupun marah, namun saya tidak buta, dan walaupun takut, saya tidak
ragu untuk memberitahukan dunia apa yang saya rasakan.

Di negara saya, kami sangat banyak melakukan penyia-nyiaan. Kami
membeli sesuatu dan kemudian membuang nya, beli dan kemudian buang.
Walaupun begitu tetap saja negara-negara di Utara tidak akan berbagi
dengan mereka yang memerlukan.
Bahkan ketika kita memiliki lebih dari cukup, kita merasa takut untuk
kehilangan sebagian kekayaan kita, kita takut untuk berbagi.

Di Kanada kami memiliki kehidupan yang nyaman, dengan sandang, pangan
dan papan yang berkecukupan – kami memiliki jam tangan, sepeda,
komputer dan perlengkapan televisi.

Dua hari yang lalu di Brazil sini, kami terkejut ketika kami
menghabiskan waktu dengan anak-anak yang hidup di jalanan. Dan salah
satu anak tersebut memberitahukan kepada kami: ” Aku berharap aku
kaya, dan jika aku kaya, aku akan memberikan anak-anak jalanan
makanan, pakaian dan obat-obatan, tempat tinggal, cinta dan kasih
sayang ” .

Jika seorang anak yang berada dijalanan dan tidak memiliki apapun,
bersedia untuk berbagi, mengapa kita yang memiliki segalanya masih
begitu serakah?

Saya tidak dapat berhenti memikirkan bahwa anak-anak tersebut berusia
sama dengan saya, bahwa tempat kelahiran anda dapat membuat perbedaan
yang begitu besar, bahwa saya bisa saja menjadi salah satu dari
anak-anak yang hidup di Favellas di Rio; saya bisa saja menjadi anak
yang kelaparan di Somalia ; seorang korban perang timur tengah atau
pengemis di India .

Saya hanyalah seorang anak kecil, namun saya tahu bahwa jika semua
uang yang dihabiskan untuk perang dipakai untuk mengurangi tingkat
kemiskinan dan menemukan jawaban terhadap permasalahan alam, betapa
indah jadinya dunia ini.

Di sekolah, bahkan di taman kanak-kanak, anda mengajarkan kami untuk
berbuat baik. Anda mengajarkan pada kami untuk tidak berkelahi dengan
orang lain, untuk mencari jalan keluar, membereskan kekacauan yang
kita timbulkan; untuk tidak menyakiti makhluk hidup lain, untuk
berbagi dan tidak tamak. Lalu mengapa anda kemudian melakukan hal yang
anda ajarkan pada kami supaya tidak boleh dilakukan tersebut?

Jangan lupakan mengapa anda menghadiri konperensi ini, mengapa anda
melakukan hal ini – kami adalah anak-anak anda semua. Anda sekalianlah
yang memutuskan, dunia seperti apa yang akan kami tinggali. Orang tua
seharus nya dapat memberikan kenyamanan pada anak-anak mereka dengan
mengatakan, ” Semuanya akan baik-baik saja , ‘kami melakukan yang
terbaik yang dapat kami lakukan dan ini bukanlah akhir dari
segalanya.”

Tetapi saya tidak merasa bahwa anda dapat mengatakan hal tersebut
kepada kami lagi. Apakah kami bahkan ada dalam daftar prioritas anda
semua? Ayah saya selalu berkata, “Kamu akan selalu dikenang karena
perbuatanmu, bukan oleh kata-katamu”.

Jadi, apa yang anda lakukan membuat saya menangis pada malam hari.
Kalian orang dewasa berkata bahwa kalian menyayangi kami. Saya
menantang A N D A , cobalah untuk mewujudkan kata-kata tersebut.

Sekian dan terima kasih atas perhatiannya.”

Servern Cullis-Suzuki telah membungkam satu ruang sidang Konferensi
PBB, membungkam seluruh orang-orang penting dari seluruh dunia hanya
dengan pidatonya. Setelah pidatonya selesai serempak seluruh orang
yang hadir diruang pidato tersebut berdiri dan memberikan tepuk tangan

yang meriah kepada anak berusia 12 tahun itu.

Dan setelah itu, ketua PBB mengatakan dalam pidatonya:

” Hari ini saya merasa sangatlah malu terhadap diri saya sendiri
karena saya baru saja disadarkan betapa pentingnya linkungan dan
isinya disekitar kita oleh anak yang hanya berusia 12 tahun, yang maju
berdiri di mimbar ini tanpa selembarpun naskah untuk berpidato.
Sedangkan saya maju membawa berlembar naskah yang telah dibuat oleh
asisten saya kemarin. Saya … tidak kita semua dikalahkan oleh anak
yang berusia 12 tahun “

lame today

I feel so desperately lame today and I don’t know why. I feel like regretting everything, every stupid thing that I’ve done and I can’t stop thinking about it all the time, which is torturing me so much. I can’t even concentrate on tomorrow’s final test, Geography. Mana bahannya seabrek lagi.

 

akh, lame!

 

anyway, I found a really nice quote. I found it on Yahoo’s article titled “Why A Woman Shouldn’t Say ‘I Love You’ First?”:

“If you love a man and want to have a long relationship with him, give him time to get there. If you think you’ve given him enough time and you’re ready to move on if he doesn’t feel the same way for you, then go ahead and tell him you love him. But only say those words if you’re prepared to let him go.”

quotes of the day

Everything you can imagine is real. - Pablo Picasso

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.

They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. – Steve Jobs

Be civil to all; sociable to many; familiar with few; friend to one; enemy to none. - Benjamin Franklin

Whatever you fear most has no power – it is your fear that has the power. – Oprah Winfrey

Oh, do give yours to me;
We’ll lock them up together,
And throw away the key. – Frederick Saunders

“Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep… wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you’re just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have you…. The one who turns to his friends and says, ‘that’s her.’”

“Limitations live only in our minds. But if we use our imaginations, our possibilities become limitless.” – Jamie Paolinetti quotes

“Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a choice, but falling in love with you I had no control over.”

11 Hints for Life

1. It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return.
But what is more painful is to love someone and never
find the courage to let that person know how you feel.

2. A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who
means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was
never meant to be and you just have to let go.

3. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a
porch swing with, never say a word, and then walk away
feeling like it was the best conversation you’ve ever had.

4. It’s true that we don’t know what we’ve got until we lose
it, but it’s also true that we don’t know what we’ve been
missing until it arrives.

5. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an
hour to like someone, and a day to love someone-but it
takes a lifetime to forget someone.

6. Don’t go for looks, they can deceive. Don’t go for wealth,
even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you
smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day
seem bright.

7. Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go,
be what you want to be. Because you have only one life and
one chance to do all the things you want to do.

8. Always put yourself in the other’s shoes. If you feel that it
hurts you, it probably hurts the person too.

9. A careless word may kindle strife. A cruel word may wreck
a life. A timely word may level stress. But a loving word may
heal and bless.

10. The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best
of everything they just make the most of everything that comes
along their way.

11. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, ends with
a tear. When you were born, you were crying and everyone
around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die,
you’re the one smiling and everyone around you is crying.

And here, I’ve inserted some of the best I found today :

• It’s hard to wait around for something that you know might never happen. But it’s even harder to give up when you know it’s everything that you want. – anonymous

• When the world says give up, hope whispers try it one more time. – anonymous

• Don’t choose someone you think you can live with, choose someone you know you can’t live without. – anonymous

• Never say goodbye, because goodbye means going away, and going away means forgetting. – Peter Pan

• Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself. – anonymous

• The only people you need in your life are the ones that prove they need you in theirs. – anonymous

• And sometimes when a person means that much to you, not even the truth can change your mind. – anonymous

• There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won’t anymore, and who always will. So don’t worry about people from your past, there’s a reason why they didn’t make it to your future. – anonymous (definitely my favorite!)

• He is not a lover who does not love forever. – Euripides

• When two hearts race, both win. – Dove Chocolate Promise Message

• Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life…You give them a piece of you. They didn’t ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like ‘maybe we should be just friends’ turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It’s a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love. – Neil Gaiman (this one is definitely my favourite! )

• Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear. – John Lennon

• There is nothing more painful than seeing someone you love loving someone else. But there is nothing more rewarding than seeing two people you love loving each other. – J. H. Li

• He who has never experienced hurt, cannot experience true love. - Tristan J. Loo

• What can be received
  But never stolen?
  Can be sought
  But never sold?
  Can be learnt
  But never taught?
  Can be felt
  But never touched?
