Adidas Lebaran Sale!

Hurry up!

Be groom and smart!


"Tidak perlu berkulit putih dan bertubuh langsing untuk menjadi cantik", kira2 begitulah motto yang pernah digembar gemborkan oleh The Body Shop. Apa sih sebenarnya definisi 'cantik'? cantik batin atau inner beauty katanya lebih penting dari cantik luar. ehm..mungkinkah itu hanya sekedar 'kompensasi' dari yang luarnya ga cantik? Beauty is on the eye of the beholder..tergantung siapa yang liat..mungkin bisa ditambah, tergantung liatnya dari mana...kalo dari monas mah terang aja..hehe..*garinkz*..

Legally Blonde, sebuah film yang diproduksi di tahun 2001, menceritakan bahwa ADA wanita cantik yang bisa get admitted and study at a prestigious uni in US. Sepertinya sudah menjadi pandangan umum, kalau wanita cantik itu identik dengan 'kebodohan'. Kalau tidak, kenapa judulnya 'legally blonde'?

Konon, walau para pria mengaku tidak menjadikan fisik seorang wanita sebagai tolok ukur pengambilan keputusan dalam menyukai wanita (read: menjadikannya sebagai pacar), toh fisik menjadi tolok ukur penting dalam awal2 perkenalan antara pria dan wanita. Kalau tidak, kenapa ada istilah 'dari mata turun ke hati'? kok ga 'dari hati naik ke mata' ya?

Kilas balik, sewaktu jaman kuliah dulu, dari jurusannya saja bisa teridentifikasi, mana yang anak akuntansi, mana yang anak manajemen. No offense, tp biasanya yang kuliah di akuntansi, generally speaking, karena relatively lebih susah, anak2nya lebih serius belajar, lebih ga model2 party girls compared with that of anak manajemen. So, di sini ada suatu korelasi positif kalau anak yang serius sekolahnya pasti ga keren deh.

OKAY, now...on the other side of the coin, i have once read a book, lupa deh apa judulnya, katanya sih, wanita yang bermake-up, akan mengalami peningkatan karier yang lebih cepat atau karirnya akan lebih bagus dibanding mereka yang tidak bermake up. IMO, mungkin maksudnya gini, yang penampilannya lebih representatif kali ya, dengan baju kantor yang enak dilihat dan sopaann tentunya, dan tatanan rambut dan make up yang serasi (ga berlebih dan menor, dan ga pucat).

Ada loh anomali, i found so far sih baru 2 yah, a gal who looks pretty, groom, and smart. Not ordinary smart, but outstanding! Bisa dpt beasiswa, dan become a top student in a good uni overseas. so, this proves that not all beautiful girls are dumb kan (walau, i have to admit that Nadine is so totally not a representative in the contest that looking for a 3 B!).

Agh, I jump to my own conclusion: Being groom (i say groom yah) is important. Very important. And I do belive that GOD creates everyone beautiful. It all depends on YOU. How you make yourself impressive. How you could translate your taste into a fashion. And of course, manner does play an important role in arriving at Distinguish score, in overall.

I found this book, though I am not, was not a model, not going to be a model, that this book is a good guidance book for a girl to be success. Dont get me wrong. This is not in terms of technical guidance yah..

I really agree with what Heidi Klum's opinion she shares, and I feel so motivated. I think I am going to buy this book:

This book shows the secrets behind her success and shows how anyone can achieve their goals in work, love, and life:
• Pursue success long after any sane person would have given up
• Persuade others you have the chops to do whatever it is you’re going for
• Make people see you as you want to be seen
• Find your own unique style
• Create a strong, healthy body
• Tap into your seductive side
• Broaden your horizons by traveling the world
Have a blast when it lasts!

Last but not least, I am totally DISAGREE with people who says like, ya udah ga pa2, kan loe dah married ini. Dalam artian, there is a huge excuse to be fat, to be so untidy, to be so unstylish, when u have been married!..ugh , BIG No No, being pretty is not for ur husband, is for yourself. It is a self respect! *no offense, peace =)*

Kan bener...banyak sale lagee...this time, GUESS Sale!

Hair cut appointment


I have an appointment this afternoon at Alfons to cut my hair. First, I wanna have it cut much, so it's just about at my chin, but on a second thought, I will look like dora then.. xixixixi...so I think I will just have it trimmed. It has been more than 6 months without belaian mas salon (though I have my front hair trimmed about 3 months ago, but still, the shape is messy).

I think I will let my hair style look like Japanese...xixixi..

becoz I always fall in love to look at those pretty pictures in this Japanese magazine, my fave..

Nyerempet dikit, that magazine show so manyyy stylish pictures, with all pretty Japanese girls, trendy clothes...and fabolous bags, cute accessories...and I can just stare here and there, with ugh-ogh...weleehh...

Cross my fingers...paling2 ga keliatan potong jadinya..biasa gitu seeh...

Memoirs of a clarins user








It seems that I am unable to keep only one post to discuss something...

I remember back in 1997, i use eye countour balm and gel...balm for night, gel for morning..
I remember that a good friend of mine, Jenny, was not suitable using it, timbul bintik2 putih..
I remember I added moisturiser named Hydration plus..
I remember I changed my cleanser to 'gentle foaming cleanse' which totally not gentle for me..
I remember I changed several times to multi active nuit, multi active jour..
I remember using elysium as it is so sexy at that time..(now it is discontinued!)
I remember I changed my eye cream to eye serum..
I remember the good smell of moisture rich body lotion..

I am just a big fans of clarins..
I am just a cosmetic slave..
All of that is due to the one and only reason..
To keep, or at least, to prolong the youth of my skin..
For all girls out there, tell me, is there any other reason other than that? admit it!
To maintain the softnes, the baby soft skin of my face..

Hope my hard earn money and my time invested in regularly applying them is not useless...you judge...

*Hope there is clarins people reading this and grant me sort of loyalty gift.. i wish..*

Back to Clarins






I have decided to use Clarins back, though this time, with a different product. After self-advise from the book I mentioned previously, I came out with this:

1. One step facial cleanser

Cleanses and tones in one easy step.Cleansing is the first step to beautiful, radiant skin. This easy-to-use cleanser lifts surface impurities and tones skin to enhance natural radiance. It is the first cleansing product to neutralize environmental aggressions. Perfectly respects skin’s pH.
Beauty Benefits :- Gently cleanses and lifts make-up and surface impurities - Thoroughly neutralizes skin and eliminates pollution particles. - Refreshes, tones and restores skin’s hydrolipidic film. - Leaves skin purified, luminous, firm and revitalized.


2. Energizing Morning Cream
More vitamins and minerals for exceptional radiance all day long.A true beauty-booster for tired, lackluster skin, Energizing Morning Cream provides all the vitamins skin needs. The results are visible and immediate: a long-lasting, radiant complexion.
4 essential trace elements and minerals: Zinc, Manganese, Magnesium, Calcium. - Vitacreatine (exclusive to Clarins) enhances skin‘s ability to assimilate vitamins. - Radiance-booster pigments to optically reduce the appearance of lines and imperfections. - Contains Clarins "Anti-Pollution" Complex.


Of course, on top of that, I still apply sunscream. Glad this time I could pass the toner step, as it is included in the washing step.

I also use gentle exfoliator for face, this products have been sometime took a place in my toilet, ga habis2 =).

And if i recounted back, it was back in 1997 when i first used clarins...

Hope the new clarins products are suitable with me...hope it wouldn't create a 'cosmetic acne'..saying about this, SK II never caused such problem or any problem to me, my skin is just as smooth as porcelain after applying it.

Know what, my mom is using all my SK II products, she said, she will be okay since her skin is supposed to be more "durable" than mine...s
