Who Run the World (Girls)

Somehow, I think of Audrey Hepburn.

Seneeeeng banget ngeliat dia, anggun, cantik, dan down to earth banget. She knows how to be a lady, seriously. From the way she smile, talk, act, everything's so flawless. Audrey Hepburn taught us to be like that.

From the way I think... a woman should be:
1. Respect her self
We shouldn't laugh yang out of control. Itu nggak sopan banget, and we'll lost our grace. Bukan harus menjadi jaim juga, tetapi tau batasannya. Baju jangan pakai yang aneh-aneh, kucing nggak akan makan kalau nggak dikasih ikan. Tingkat asusila terhadap wanita bisa diminimalisir dengan cara ini.
Have your pride, be grace.

2. Having an intellectual
Intelektual bukan hanya semata-mata kecerdasan. Nggak harus selalu juara satu, dan menjadi juara umum. Orang cerdas belum tentu memiliki intelektual. Intelektual juga berhubungan dengan terpelajar, maksudnya tahu tentang tata-krama, etika, dan norma.

Dear girls,
dumb is never cute.

3. Let your inner beauty comes out
Being beautiful isn't about lipstick, eyeliner, mascara. A true beauty of a woman is reflected in her soul. So what's the use of make-up if you have bad soul? Sampah akan selalu tercium walaupun ditutupin pake parfum. So, let's improve our self, perbaiki dulu jiwa kita and let them see our true beauty.

4. Speak up and be heard
Have you heard about Girl Power? We have our rights, we deserved more, we deserved to be heard.

Last but not least,
Isn't that adorable if Audrey Hepburn, Julie Andrews, and Margaret Thatcher ada di satu sosok yang sama? Mereka semua sama-sama pintar, cantik, tegas, disiplin, yet so grace.

Look like a girl, act like a lady, think like a man, work like a boss.

(Different) Twins

Dear Nadia, I never thought that I can befriend with you. It's nice having a good friend, a dear good friend, that's an introvert version of my self. You're the INTP and I'm the ENTP, so I'm feeling like you know me better than anyone else. As I said earlier to you, maybe we're like twins. It's just the one tiny different that makes us different, and I'm glad with it. Honestly, before I met or knew you, I thought you're an arrogant and selfish woman because you look soooooo quite and you're classy (SERIOUSLY), LOL. Even before our introduction, I always love your sense of fashion... Your sense of fashion is a little bit similar to me. And once again, I think we're twins from different womb, lol. But then things changed and we met. It was a little bit awkward at first but I still remember how we think about the same thing at the same time, and before I knew you're an INTP, I had this feeling that you're like me, something about you r...

((relapse)) Kalo diinget, gue nggak pernah nangisin ini cowo, atau biarin emosi gue luber. Mungkin itu alasannya gue susah move on, ya? Gue kebanyakan menekan emosi gue selama ini, memilih diam, menghilang. Tapi tanggal 27 Agustus 2026 kemarin, tau-tau gue menangis. Bukan yang histeris hingga sesak napas, tapi air matanya keluar begitu aja tanpa henti. Mungkin akan ada kambuh berikutnya. Tapi gue jadi semakin yakin lagi dengan kapasitas diri gue ketika mencintai. Kalo gue bisa mencintai orang lain sedalam itu, maka gue tau, gue juga berhak dicintai orang lain sedalam itu dan gue tau orang itu akan selalu mengusahakan gue sesederhana karena takut kehilangan gue.

OHANA

Haiiiii! This time, I'm too excited to tell you about my OHANA a.k.a Family. Seperti yang kalian udah baca di postingan pertama gue, Sisterhood Last Forever, kalian tahu kalo gue itu anak bontot, anak yang paling kecil, anak bungsu. Di post itu gue udah menceritakan tentang Mba Tita dan Mba Andes. Tapi... rasanya ngga lengkap kalo hanya mereka yang diceritakan. Left - Right: Mba Andes, Mama, Me, Mba Tita di suatu acara pada tahun 2011 Mama gue itu rambutnya selalu aja pendek. Dulu waktu gue masih 5th rambutnya masih panjang sihh, tapi sejak itu juga rambutnya jadi pendek :p Sedangkan Mba Tita dan Mba Andes itu dulunya ngga hijabers. Rambut mereka sebelum pake jilbab itu.... Badai. Angin topan. Wuss. Tsunami. Tapi sejak selesai kuliah dan udah beberapa bulan kerja, kira-kira pas gue kelas 2 SD mereka baru pake jilbab. Gue akan seperti mereka kalo udah sukses. Hehe Left - Right: Me, Mba Andes, Eyangti, Mba Tita, Mama di Lebaran tahun 2012 Di foto yang diata...

Kita memang nggak bisa menyelamatkan orang lain kalau orang itu nggak mau diselamatkan, kan? Sebesar apapun rasa cinta gue ke dia, gue nggak akan bisa memberikan itu semua dan dia nggak akan bisa menerimanya. Karena dia tidak mencintai dirinya sendiri terlebih dahulu. Gue bisa memeluk lukanya, apabila dia sudah berani memeluk lukanya sendiri. Gue bisa memberikannya cinta terbesar yang pernah dia rasakan, apabila dia sudah mampu mencintai dirinya sendiri.

Just when I about to send the message, a sudden realization come to me. Thus, I shall keep my pride. However, My heart can't lie. My brain can't lie. So, with the little prayer, I shall say... A year has passed. May you always find good things in life. Have a blast.
