The Real Beauty of Woman

For a woman, beauty is like a status to measure where stage she stands on is. The matter is the fact that woman thinks beauty is measured on how pretty she is. Unfortunately, the beauty itself has some categories to be considered before you say you are beautiful.

The first category is having a natural face. It means that you do not need much makeup to be attractive. If you are really beautiful, everybody will say you are beautiful although you do not use any makeup. Based on the small research which was done by a woman to man (kompasiana.com), man actually does not really care about how many kind of makeup you have pour to your face. What they need is the comfort both of you make. On the other hand, there are some jobs which require the employees especially women to be attractive, especially woman with makeup. In that case, you cannot do anything because it is a regulation from your job, but you can still have a natural face. Having a natural face means that you put enough portion to your face. You can use either a soft colour to make your face does not look like a clown or a skin colour to make it look like your real skin.

Doing some exercise is the second category. Beauty is not always measured by your physical appearance. It also depends on your health. Someone who looks so energetic will bring a good aura and it will lead you to a good impression from others. Your health also leads you to a self confidence. If you believe to yourself, you will get good result from everything you have done because what you think and have faith is what you will get. You can start from an easy exercise like jogging, skipping, or everything you think you can do in a short time. Having a good sleep time is also another way to make you healthy and fresh. People prefer to be interested in a woman who is fresh and healthy but not too pretty than a woman who is beautiful but looks so tired.

Another aspect of the real beauty of woman is her intelligence. People will like a woman who has much knowledge. Someone’s knowledge determines how she sees something and how she solves her problem. Woman who has high intelligence can mingle with everybody from every class because she knows how to treat people from up and down classes. With her intelligence, woman also can enhance her status with man. She will not be underestimated by man because she has much knowledge. Woman’s intelligence can also be seen from her experience. Woman with many experiences will be assumed as an active woman. It is also a good impression from others that will give you label as the really beautiful one.

The fourth category is whether the woman is independent or not. Woman who is independent is absolutely a mature one. If you are independent, you will be assumed that you are brave enough to take the blame for what you are going to face. You will also be believed to handle everything by your own. Being independent also can be seen whether or not she can do the house works. Besides your knowledge, a man will see you are beautiful or not from what kind of thing you can do in your house. It is a destiny that woman should take care of the household. Although the globalization has changed everything, but a skill to cook is a must-skill that should be had by every woman. Research found that men love woman who can cook is 33% percents. (merdeka.com)

The last but not least, woman is beautiful when she can take care of her surroundings. Taking care of your surroundings means that you want to share everything you have to others. If you think you have knowledge that others do not, you may share with them. If you think you have some clothes that you seldom wear it, you may also share with them. Taking care of surroundings does not always mean it is your relation to others but also to the environment. Keeping the environment clean from your trash is also a form of taking care of surroundings. The important thing in the society is you will be looked based on your habit and your behaviour. How useful you are for your society and what things you can do for your society are the aspects that your beauty is admitted by others.

To sum up, there are many factors that should be considered as the real beauty of woman, such as: having a natural face, doing some exercise, having high intelligence, being independent, and taking care of her surroundings. 

Charlene with Her Uncertainty

How to Be an Other Woman is a complicated story which is written by Loorie Moore. There are so many unexpected things Moore reveals in that story. The unique character that Charlene has is combined with the man character makes the story becomes unpredictable. This story makes me think about how Charlene can live her life. I believe that Charlene has weaknesses in her “relationship” that she hard to deal with.

Being a woman who does not have any clear status like Charlene is absolutely exhausted. She cannot ask for more about everything that relates to their “relationship”.

Say: “Call you ‘later’ would sound better than ‘soon’. ‘Soon’ always means just opposite.” He smiles feebly. “I’ll phone you in a few days.”

Charlene tells her opinion but he still does not change his mind to tolerate Charlene’s opinion. He only arranges his words by saying “a few days” which in other words means the same. Nothing Charlene can do because she is not someone who has clear status for him. This condition is same as when I just broke up with my boyfriend and still had a good communication. We were trapped in the situation where we still loved each other but we could not do anything. It is really disturbing me because every woman needs a certainty, so does Charlene.

      The weakness that Charlene cannot deal with also comes when she feds up with this complicated situation but he does not let her go.

You are risking your life for him, spread out like a ridiculous cake on the bed, waiting with the door unlocked, thinking you hear him on stairs, but no.

Charlene completely knows that loving him is only risking herself but her love is reached at the enough depth so she cannot let everything go as easy as other thought. When woman is falling in love, she can do every weird or even ridiculous thing to be with her love—Charlene does. The man she loves will always in her mind, act as everything as her imagination does.

Whisper, “Don’t go yet,” as he glides out of your bed before sunrise and you lie there on your back, cooling, naked between the sheets and smelling of musky, oniony sweat.

He does not want Charlene go because he also enjoys Charlene “play”—come and go as he likes and does not ask for more because she is nobody. I do not know why some men are afraid with commitment. I feel they just think about the temporary happiness because commitment is about the rest of your life. They do not brave to take the blame.

       Charlene also feels extremely tired because she is always haunted with another girl he has.

On the street, all over, you think you see her, the boring hotel-soap stealer. Every woman is her. You smell Cashmere Bouquet all over the place.

Charlene seems have a traumatic with Patricia—another girl he has. She is haunted by Patricia’s figure who is very perfect for him so that he chooses Patricia than her.

“Patricia’s really had quite an interesting life,” he says, smoking a cigarette.

Every woman does not like when her prince says like that. Charlene gets jealous to Patricia. Moreover, Patricia has a high position in her work. She also collects the luxurious things that she keeps on tidy in their apartment. Charlene feels like nobody if she is compared with Patricia. But he still does not let Charlene go. He defends Charlene with the condition that Charlene is too far with Patricia.

       To sum up, Charlene who is other woman to him cannot deal with her weaknesses and those weaknesses come because of his appearance in Charlene life. The one she loves can make the weaknesses that Charlene cannot solve.

The Remarkable Lecturers

Lecturer.  What comes to your mind when someone says that word? Since I was in Junior High School, some college students said to me that lecturer was selfish, very busy, and we have to chase him in order to get good score. When I am in the university, especially being a part of English Department, I have found some remarkable lecturers with their own uniqueness.

Mr. Ari Adipurwawidjana becomes my first list for the remarkable lecture. He is extremely sarcastic. When he wants to talk about someone in our class, he makes an analogy then we understand that what he is talking is about our friend. He also always said that “I always expect less to my student”. So when we show our little bit knowledge to him, he will be proud off.

The other remarkable one is Mr. Rudi Wilson. He is an old with the young power of remembering. He always remembers about what he and we said about the previous week. He also wore the same shirt in each Monday but he had worn another kind of shirt in the last day in term one. Then I know the reason why he wore the same shirt, because he has a dozen.

In brief, lecturers are not as bad as what I heard. Some of them have uniqueness that will be remembered as “theirs” in their student mind, because the more unique the more remembered you are.
