Mornings are not exactly my thing.. Especially, the part where I have to wake up early and shower and pray Subuh and get ready.. (*clear throats) Honestly speaking, I hate doing all of those.. I am a late riser and not a very morning person either.. hehe.. I guess it might be true that my sleeping body clock is distorted or something.. Hmmm.. Not good for me and my performance as a college student though.. Well, I am trying to fix it.. really.. I am.. But it does not work! HUHUHU..
Enough going about my upside down body clock.. Let's get to business ! Sooo.. I believe every girl understand well where we have troubles to get ready.. I mean, we technically take longer period to get ready than guys do.. To be exact, we shower longer even in the morning because we seriously scrub everything off to actually feel clean and fresh in the morning, right girls?? We take longer to dress too.. O MAII GADDDD! This is the worst part.. We actually get prepared to get ready for class the night before like an hour before going to sleep or so.. And! And! And! we might even take more than half an hour to even decide what to wear, what style it should be, what footwear, what and what else...? We also have to think how it incorporates with each elements and how the colours 'fit' in.. Plus, for some girls, they might be a bit more indecisive than most of us and change their decisions more than twice.. OHHH MAIII GADDD! Isn't it tiring girls? Even I am tired just thinking about what to wear tomorrow.. It is like we have a test on what we wear, right? hahahaha..
simple, right?
Fortunately for me, I am a lazy person, so I don't think much about it and usually I am just too lazy to iron any of my clothes so I normally wear something that is effortless and less energy consuming.. For example, an iron-less blouse or shirt with a pair of jeans or iron-less skirt with a Sincerely By Usshawl..
Does anyone has tips or tricks on getting ready quickly and effortlessly but still looks pretty and dandy? Do share with us.. WE NEED IT!
Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life? Say yes, say yes Cause I need to know….
What do you think ? someone ask you to marry him, or maybe
her .
“ Euww..we’re still young”
“Oh no mate . I still want to enjoy my life”
Its never too young to think about this, because the first
step into that marriage thing has to be started now . I don’t say that you have
to get married now or you should get married soon . My point is you have to
prepare yourself now . No matter what .
“Err..I don’t think I will be marrying someone in this few upcoming years”
“I never fall in love yet”
“Why should I?”
We are girls, right?
Do you know how to cook ? other than instant noodles and plain rice?
Everytime I went back home, I would get to hear something like this,
“You know what kakak, when I was your
age, I knew how to cook many dishes . Look at you now. How you are going to get
marry”
“Yeah2,lets me cook the veges.” (hahaha.that’s the simple one)
Are you tidying up your room and house everyday before you
go to class ? or you just left your wet towel on your bed?
I have a friend who really care about tidiness . She said she cannot stand to
see her bed sheet all loose and crinkly, she will make it neat . To check whether her bed
sheet is being stretched enough or not, she will drop a coin on it, if the coin
bounce back, then it is okay .
How about your clothes ? Strewn over the floor and bed ? the
clean one gets mixed with the dirty one ? euww..That is not what you supposed
to do.
Then, take a look at your study table . Is it okay ? 0.o Do the Pre-calculus and Computer Information books, magazines and all your stuffs on the table are neatly arranged ?
What about your pantry ?
How many times do you clean your toilet ?
How about your Quran reciting ? Do you read it everyday ? This is also an important aspect to be considered on your way to become a good wife and mum-to-be.
Haha . I think we have got enough question to trigger your mind . Continue seeking and looking at yourself ?
Are not all that important ? Yeah . Absolutely . This preparation thing does not end with all the house chores only . It takes many other aspect such as knowledge, attitudes, appearance and else, aha, financial too .
Still don't get my point ?
Well, this is what I am holding to when it comes to this big thingy . Marrying someone = Building up our nation .
It is becauseee.... each individual is like a brick . We will then use this brick to build up a house .
Okie . It is time for me to go . I hope you can gain a valuable thing here .
Honestly, tell me.. Which one do you prefer? Being friends with the opposite gender : BOYS or our very own species : GIRLS ? Hmmm.. According to lifestyle.allwomenstalk.com , there are 7 differences between male and female friendship.. And this is just a general statement.. I don't think it applies on everyone so let's just take it lightly and compare it to ourselves, k?
1. EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENT
I think girls have stronger emotional attachment than guys coz we usually bond with sharing secrets and do things on a really personal level, right? In contrary, guys prefer to avoid these stuff and bond more care-freely.
2. ARGUMENT
Don't most girls have really really long fights and even if they decide to bury the hatchet, they may still keep grudges? Sooo damn complicated! And not to mention, they are verbal fights which are much more hurtful and painful than physical ones. Meanwhile, boys actually have way shorter fights than us because they would just throw a few punches and act as if nothing happened the next day.. Man, how do they do it? I am sooo curious..
3. PARTNERSHIP
I think it is actually true that boys find friends who actually share the same interests with them and they can bond with them easier and faster. For instance, the boys from my class (the weird guys from the pic above ^ ) seems to bond more quickly as they play Clash of Clans and FIFA together.. Hmmm.. WE, girls on the other hand, will look for someone who we think we can share same emotions and bond emotionally. I don't know which kind of partnership lasts longer but I think girls' take a longer time to actually establish the sisterhood. Hmmm.. Is that really the case?
4. DEPENDENCY
We LOVE having our friends close to us and would be green with envy when our close friends have new friends. As if we feel we will get less attention and love from their besties. Well, at least that is the case for some of us... hehehe..*Haachuumm.. However, boys practices more freedom in socializing and are independent in their relationships. I believe they don't really mind not being in contact with each other for long period of time. Like my eldest brother who have tons of friends and does not seem to care much if they lost contact but if they ever reconcile again, it does not seem like a big deal to him.. It shows how guys are very care-free in relationships, right right?
5. INSULTS & HUMOR
Seriously.. Girls are a lot more sensitive than boys so, we reprimand ourselves from insulting and using violence as a way of expressing our friendship and sense of humor. We don't exactly find it funny or amusing to insult or prank others much as we are a whole lot more sensitive and respect for us is like respecting our weaknesses and not nag on it.. Hmmm.. Really?? Anywayyyyy, guys are the total opposite of us, girls because they like to tease and insult each other and test each other's dominance. They get into fights and takes violence as part of their humor. It's like punches and vulgar words are nothing but amusement for them.. Welll, not for us.. Not for me much..
6. INTIMACY
"The more, the merrier." That's what guys believe in socializing.They really do go around with big circle of friends. I have friends who carpool with their friends.. Like 7 guys in a small Kancil.. Can you imagine the big, bulky guys cramping in one small car? Personally, I have done it multiple times but we are girls.. We have smaller body figures than them.. So, okayy laa.. And they prefer to hang out in big packs and have an easy bond but don't mistake it to be weak. It does not really matter if it does not seem strong on the surface but I am pretty sure it is as strong as diamond beneath the surface.. PLUS! These bonds might be stronger than the ones we have with girls. Girls however, prefer to keep their circle of friends smaller and believe it will be stronger by doing so... Girls really do have the tendency to mingle in small group of friends and build a strong relationship that way.. I don't know if it implies on everyone but to most of us it may be true, righttttt? Oh well, I guess it is the mentality set by our own society..
7. FLAWS
Male friendships are usually affected by their competitiveness among others. They love to compete with each other superficially, and is usually on another whole level from the girls'.They are like sooo competitive and can go on it over and over again. I always watch TV dramas where the hot, buffed, six-packed guyS fighting for that ONE lucky girl like there is no other girl on Earth anymore... Competitive much ! Hahaha.. However, girls tend to be judgmental towards each other and get really biased with the ones whom they dislike. It usually ends up tearing people mentally. It is really a characteristic every girl has.. I am sure of it.. Be it a lot of just a bit.. Girls are just perceptive of others and they are competitive in a way which they want to be a better girl in front of other people..
So, after reading all of these, which one do you prefer? Guy friends or girl friends? Hehe.. it is just a point of view.. And we honestly, do not have to choose between these two genders coz every each of it has its own pros and cons.. What is important is that we have friends whom we can be our own selves when we are with them. Friends that are there to help us when we are in need and to celebrate with us when we in joy.
Here is a bit of a treat or a light into to our topic today. *Drum rolls*
Menstruation!
Every single woman, lady, girl or babe has been through this, is going through this or will be going through this sooner or later.. I am crazy sure about that ! It is human nature and it is what Allah S.W.T. has promised us all ladies.. Well, I ain't complaining about Allah's provisions but it is not exactly something that wonderful which every person who has never been through menstruation wishes for. Young girls always dream of becoming a 'real woman' after having one. Men always think it is an easy and simple thing. Well, FYI, it is not !
First of all, IT IS A HASSLE EVERYTIME WE HAVE PERIODS! It is like war down there every month and it is not just war with ourselves but also with other people around us. Get this.. Women with periods are just as sensitive as pregnant women. We complain thrice as much, we cry thrice as much and we get happy thrice as much. In short words, we do things thrice as much as we normally do. Seriously, i get this a lot and I've seen this a lot.. Women with menstruation have mood swings in just a matter of seconds. I might be happy this minute but I might be crying the next minute.. WHY?? I DON'T KNOW! Hormones, I guess? And let me tell you something about mood swings.. It can get as worst as Hurricane Sandy. You ain't know nothing unless you've been through it, SERIOUSLY. It's soooo scary to see your girlfriends suddenly, show up with all those gloomy, sullen, morose, sad, scary, eye-piercing faces.. Oooooo~ Don't even imagine it.. And for us girls who have actually woken up with these faces, surely understand how guilty we are for making people misunderstanding and awkward with our condition.. ARGHHH! I hate that the most! I mean, it is none of my intention to make people wonder or talk bout our moody-selves and incapability of staying cool. BUT! Life can get really crazy especially during our periods and hectic... HUHU~
Besides, I am pretty sure every girl agrees with me that choosing the right pad is actually pretty much like choosing clothes. It can get pretty hard to find the perfect one, you know.. I mean, we have to consider the comfort it offers, the material it is made of, the durability and the practicality of the pads. See~ it is hard, right? Sooo.. I REALLY, REALLY respect guys who know how to choose the right pads for their ladies.. It is something every guy should know how to do coz you guys will have a wife or daughters one day or at least you guys already have a mother or sisters, right? So, it is kind of a bonus points for you guys to be quick and concerned of our needs. Ohh.. girls~ you should figure out your own preference too, okay? Because nobody is the same right? Same goes to your own comfort and preferences.. Well, you can take it easy though.. I mean, I figured out mine after trying a number of different brands so you can experiment a bit till you find your best ;))
By the way, do you girls also get cravings or lack of appetite? I am not sure myself if I get those consistently but I do sometimes, lack of appetite during my first two days of period. It is not that distinct but I guess hormones do disrupt your appetite and sense of smell because i get extra sensitive with smell whenever i have periods... I get nauseous easier when I smell foul food or products.. Kind of like pregnant women, right? HAHA.. Well, I should get used to it too if I want to have a baby, i guess? >__<
OHH! One more thing! Do you girls not have cramps??!! O MAII GADDDD!! I HATE IT SOO MUCH!! Soooo painful! Most of us can't even stand or sleep or even sit, right? It is not just me, right? Just thinking of it makes me cringe.. URGHH! Imagine it people! Imagine you having your uterus (is that right?) getting stab everytime you want to move a bit... Plus, it is soooo hard to find the right posture or position when you sit or lie down without feeling that pain and hurt.. HUHU~ It is soo painful that some girls even take medication like panadol to ease their pain but I usually don't coz medications are'nt exactly good for your body in long period of time.. So, I usually go with natural measures like using hot water bottle to warm you uterus part and make it more comfortable.. I seriously have no other way to describe so i am sorry if you cannot imagine it or feel offended.. *sorry Well, it works like magic everytime and even applying some oil or 'minyak panas' would work too. Find your best solution and it will be the saviour of your life every month!
Okay! I guess that is it.. It's quite long and it is kind of a sensitive topic right? I hope it won't offend anyone instead of helping someone.. hehehe.. Just want to share with you girls and be strong! Have a nice period & Toodles ~
Assalamualaikum w.b.t. & Annyeonghaseyo ~ Soooo.. What is this CL-powered song all about ?? Duhhhh~ Just as the title of the song says, it is all about being the baddest female. It is not just any kind of hormone-filled, emotional homo sapiens but the baddest, bad-ass, kick-ass female of them all. There are plenty of girl power songs out there, seriously. However, I chose this particular song because I am pretty much a K-pop fan myself and I listen to a lot of K-pop songs everyday. This song is a favorite and it is in my playlist so I do listen to it most of the time and honestly, I can relate to this song. It is like a chant for me to stay strong and keep going forward no matter what comes in front of me. It is like my inner self talking to me.
Yeah, I’m strong, very fierce Someone like you can’t ever handle me I don’t have an ounce of jealousy in me Even fortune tellers can’t figure out my heart
However, I am still not as strong as I wish to be. I am still a timid girl who cries every time I am hurt, frets every time I don't get what I want, stomps feet every time I am scold at. Well, that is me. You girls might not be me but I believe however tough, independent, strong grown-up 'woman' you are, deep inside you, there is still that delicate, sensitive little girl hidden somewhere in that little corner of your heart. Seriously. I have an older sister whom I look up to a lot while growing up maybe because we have a huge age gap (6 years to be exact!). I always feel a bit distant from her and I respect her more than I respect other girls of her age because she somehow emits this aura of maturity. Of course, I love her with all of my heart and I wish no other sister than her but as sisters, we do fight.. A LOT... And it does not always end up pretty. One of us might end up crying right on the spot (usually it is me) and the other one might just keep all of her feelings pent up. But I know however much feelings she has been hiding and shutting away, she is still a girl and just like other girls, she will eventually, explode like a volcano eruption. HAHA.. Well, it is human nature, right? Women's nature actually.
What I am trying to convey here is that it is great for a girl to build herself up strong, tough and fierce. There is nothing wrong with it. BUT. There is also nothing wrong with being delicate, soft-hearted and sensitive women. It is how we are created by Allah S.W.T. after all. Nevertheless, it is best to know your limits and be moderate with every aspects of life. Balance is everything to be a better person, right?
Apart from that, I just hope every other human being especially the men, will understand us more without having us to enunciate every little thing because truthfully, just as Stephen Hawking said, "Women. They are a complete mystery." We might be strong on the surface but just like an iceberg, we are much like the tiny tip of the iceberg which is visible to people but a huge part of it hidden under the surface of the water. Unpredictable, unexpected and most of all, full of surprises. Of course, I DO wish all of the girls out there and even me to grow up beautiful and elegant, strong and powerful, just and independent women.
It's not really our stuff doing all this thing, but thanks to USCS21, we have to get this done .
I tell you what, it's kind of exciting actually . Starting from choosing our combined email name and password that drove us to be a bit chaotic . After setting up the email, walla..here we are .
But eventually my partner thought she wanted to opt for tumblr.com because she said it was more easier to write and manage there . But again, it was also a new thing for me, so did my friend too, and we were like asking all our classmates who knew the stuffs to carry on with the website . A "yes,dear.what's up?" reply got me shocked for a while (well,it was obviously because a guy never called me that way) . He taught me a bit about this and that . Then, I was surfing the web to look for all the templates and I found one. Yeah! finally.
A day passed...
A week flown by.... ( > < ")
