Hati yang terluka

Sekian lama aku didusta
Dengan janji manis mu
Namun aku masih setia
Menanti agar kau berubah suatu hari

Pedih hati ini cintaku kau persendakan
Luluh hati ini sayangku kau persiakan
Namun aku tetap tegar mencintai dirimu
Sepenuh hatiku

Kau robek hatiku
Cintaku kau permainkan
Umpama hati kau tak punya rasa
Kau hilang begitu saja

Kau kembali menagih kasihku
Lupakah dulu kau ingkar dengan janji mu
Pergilah sayang
Tawar sudah hati ini untukmu
Sudahku tutup rapat hatiku
Agar tak bisa dirobek lagi olehmu.

Makeup Tips for Beginners

Are you a beginner when comes to make up? Makeup may do magical things that can enhance your beauty and boost your confidence. It cannot be denied that it can be a daunting task to do unless you can put your makeup on like a pro. If you are one of those girls waiting to try something new, here are some makeup tips for the beginners.

1.Complexion

Firstly, you need to know about your skin complexion. What you want to cover up? What colour shade of skin do you have? It is the first step you need to know before choosing what makeup and moisturizer that will suit you.

2. Moisturize

The less makeup you wear, the better it is for your skin. Apply some moisturizer to your skin. It helps your skin from getting too oily during the day and moisturizes any dry patches on your skin. Apply it by putting a few spots on your fingers, then blend it and working the spots outwards from the center in all directions.

3. Choose Your Shade

Choose the right shade of your foundation so that it matches your skin tone. You can brush a little on your jawline and if it blends in, it’s perfect for you. If not, try looking for a lighter shade or darker. Finding the right shade of foundation is very important as it evens out your skin tone so you do not look splotchy.

4. Contouring

Contouring will really brighten up all of your features. You can apply it with a bronzer to make your face have a great glow. Not a pro at contouring? No worries as there are plenty of Youtube makeup tutorials which you can watch and learn.

5. Concealer

Concealer should never be lighter than one shade away from your skin tone. Put a little under the eyes where under-eye circles are darkest. Also add to other blemishes which are not covered by foundation and blend it.

6. Eyeshadow

For a beginner, you can try a single neutral shade. A natural palette is a good option if you want to apply more than one eyeshadow colour. The shadow should go from your lash line to just beyond the inner crease and from there it fades upward toward the bone.

7. Blusher

Smile as you apply blush to the apple of your cheeks. So you can see clearly where the apples are.

8. Lipstick

Pucker you lips and apply your lipstick to the center of your upper and lower lip. Use the finger to blend outwards.

Check your makeup whether it is all blended in beautifully or not. Then, you’re done! Don’t over-do your makeup. Sometimes less is more. Go for a neutral look and work your way to more makeup you wish. Be your own kind of beautiful.

Easy Tricks to Choose the Perfect Lipstick for You

Nowadays there are almost millions of different shades of lipsticks that make the lips an iconic beauty staple for women. However, we as women find it daunting to choose the right colour of lipstick to match our skin tone. Shopping for a right colour can be tricky and might be a bad match for us. Here are some tips to choose the best lipstick for your skin tone.

1.       Identify Your Undertone
Undertone is where you will hear the terms cool or warm. The easiest way is to look at the color of the veins on the inside of your wrist. If your veins appear bluish, this indicates that you have a cool skin tone. Meanwhile if they appear greenish means you have a warm skin tone. If you’re unsure of your skin undertones whether it is blue or green, you most likely have a neutral skin tone and can choose from both spectrums.

2.       Find a colour that is one to two shades deeper than your natural lip colour
 Know which lipstick shade works best with your undertone. Apply the lipstick to your lower lip and compare that shade to your upper lip. If it is drastically different, then you need to keep searching for the right shades.

3.       Decide your lips shape
Take note of whether you want to maximize or minimize your lip shape. Darker colours will actually make your lips look smaller while lighter and brighter colours makes your lips appear bigger.

4.    Pick based on your skin tone

• Fair skin tone: Choose lighter shades for a soft complexion. For cool undertones, you can try soft mocha and nude. Whereas, for warm undertones, try pale pink.

• Olive skin tone: This skin tone is generally neutral. So any shade you wear you can’t go wrong. Mostly nude, pink, orange and red shades are going to look good on you.

• Medium skin tone: If you have cool undertones, try shades of pink or cranberry. But if you have warm undertones, try copper or bronze shades.

• Darker skin tones: Dark reds can make lips look gorgeous for darker complexion. For cool undertones try ruby and wine-coloured hues. For warm undertones, try copper and bronzes as it works as well.

So now you have the know-how to choose the right lipstick shade for you. Do you have a favorite lipstick?

Why You Should Be Holding On?

Sometimes there is a time that we must get through ups and down. There is a time where we want to let go and give up everything without think of its consequences. There is also a time where we think we should stop doing what we are doing; holding on. But, do you know that maybe holding on a little longer is the right thing to do.

Why letting go when you have come this far?

The experiences, the struggles and the challenges that we are going through are there for us to make us a better human being. We grow from our struggles. Dare to try and to feel it. It is within the struggles we will find our real selves.

If the thing you are holding on is worth it.  Then, why should you give up?

We hold onto things because we trust that we can get through the hurt, betrayal or rejection. It will break you sometimes but nobody can protect you from that. And when it happens remember all the good memories and the bittersweet moments that you tasted as well as everything you learned. Tell yourself how wonderful it was to live and blessed with life.

The struggle we live through that gives meaning to life.

How incredibly boring our life would be if there are no struggles or challenges to get through. And when you pass the phase of your struggles that is when you feel you have accomplished something. Only then you feel grateful for what you have.

There is something for us waiting to be found.

It’s inside of you. Take time to explore what you believe. If we can overcome the obstacles presented to us, we will find the success within ourselves to create something worthwhile. Sometimes we feel like we have nothing left to hold on and there is where hope comes into light.

Hope is what makes people stronger; sometimes, it is something that people clings to.

For who needs it or should I say everyone needs it, keep your head up. Never give up. You’re one tough cookie.

Lari

Lari bukan satu jalan penyelesaian.Namun bagaimana pula jika lari adalah satu jalan untuk survive dalam hidup ?

Langit Biru //02082016

Pada langit biru itu
Aku lepaskan isi hati ku
Ingin aku tulis di angkasa
Namun tiada daya

Pada langit biru itu
Aku lihat wajah tenang mu
Ingin aku lakarkan pada kanvas
Tidak persis seperti mu

Pada langit biru itu
Aku laung nama mu pernuh syahdu
Ingin aku rakamkan
Tiada suara yang ku dengar

Pada langit biru itu
Aku simpan rindu aku
Agar sampai di langit sana
Aku rindu padamu, umi.


Alya Zul

Alfatihah.

Bahagia itu kita yang pilih. Seringkali dalam kehidupan ini pelbagai dugaan dan cabaran malahan onak duri yang kita kena tempuhi. Sama ada kita nak lalui dengan fikiran positif ataupun negatif. Kita yang pilih. Benar, ada sekali kita akan rasa dugaan itu datang buat kita jatuh terduduk sampai tak mampu nak bangkit lagi.

Fall seven times, stand up eight.

— JAPANESE PROVERB

Yakinlah jika fikiran positif di minda kita dan kita percaya setiap sesuatu ada hikmah yang tersendiri. InsyaAllah bahagia itu akan datang dengan pilihan kita.

Bahagia itu kita yang pilih.

Kita tengok seekor kucing mengiau apabila mendapat ikan menandakan ia bahagia. Kita lihat anak kecil berlari lari apabila mendapat aiskrim. Kita lihat air mata seorang guru melihat kejayaan anak muridnya. Kita nampak air muka tuan kedai gembira apabila kedainya mendapat sambutan. Dan kita nampak mak abah tersenyum bahagia apabila melihat wajah anak anak mereka.

Simple bukan bahagia mereka. Kerana bahagia itu mereka yang pilih. Kecil bagi kita, tapi besar untuk mereka.

Kadang kita ni berjalan kat tepi pantai pun dah bahagia. Tengok bintang, bulan, matahari terbenam pun dah cukup bahagia. Dan kadang tengok orang lain bahagia cukup untuk buat kita bahagia.

“When it rains, look for rainbows. When it’s dark, look for stars.” ~UNKNOWN

And for me. My happiness when I see my family just sit together, talk for hours and laughing out loud. Its okay if we're not a perfect family. I have abah, along, acik and ecah, And arwah umi up there, I know she is in a better place now. Al-fatihah.
And still I choose to be happy

How about you guys ? What is your happiness ?


Have a nice day,

Anda ‘people-pleaser’? 5 tips ini untuk anda. #SayNo

Ada satu ketika kita seringkali berada di persimpangan untuk mengatakan ‘YA’ atau ‘TIDAK’. Ketika hati meronta ingin mengatakan ‘TIDAK’ ketika itu jugalah mulut terpacul perkataan ‘YA’. Ramai dari kita sukar untuk menolak permintaan seseorang dan terpaksa bersetuju sehinggakan tiada ruang masa untuk diri sendiri.

Permintaan dari rakan sekerja yang meminta untuk membuat sesuatu dalam tempoh masa yang sangat singkat yang memerlukan teknik kepakaran yang sedia ada. Jadi mengapa perlu kata ‘Tidak’?

Permintaan dari kawan yang meminta cuma setengah jam untuk mengajar subjek yang tidak difahaminya. Jadi mengapa perlu katakan ‘Tidak’?

Permintaan dari seseorang yang meminta untuk membuat skrip ucapan untuknya yang memerlukan 10 minit sahaja untuk menulis. Jadi mengapa perlu katakan ‘Tidak’?

Semestinya perkataan ‘YA’ akan keluar dari mulut kita.

Namun begitu dalam setiap perkataan ‘YA’ yang kita sebut, kita seringkali terlepas pandang dengan apa yang terpaksa kita tanggung. Tiada ruang lagi untuk diri sendiri kerana sibuk dengan kerja. Pelbagai kerja tertunda disebakan permintaan kerja yang lain kita terima. Kesihatan tidak terjaga. Malahan, masa untuk bersama orang tersayang juga berkurangan.

Disaat inilah perkataan ‘TIDAK’ memainkan peranan besar. Kerana perkataan ‘YA’ sudah tidak sesuai pada waktu ketika ini. Belajar untuk katakan TIDAK adalah satu teknik dan kemahiran untuk tidak dipanggil sebagai ‘people pleaser’ iaitu mementingkan orang lain sebelum diri sendiri. Tips mengatakan TIDAK :

1.       Nada yang tegas

Pastikan nada atau intonasi yang dipakai ketika ingin menolak melakukan sesuatu adalah tegas dan singkat. Ini akan memastikan orang yang mendengar penolakan anda mengambil serius dengan apa yang anda katakan.

2.        Penyampaian yang baik

Menolak sesuatu permintaan tidak memerlukan anda mengeluarkan kata kata kasar atau kesat. Penyampaian anda perlulah sopan dan tepat agar orang yang anda tolak permintaanya dapat memahami dan menerima dengan baik penolakan anda.

3.      Utamakan yang utama

Tahu apa yang perlu diutamakan terlebih dahulu. Utamakan kepentingan anda dahulu sebelum mengutamakan kepentingan orang lain. Pastikan anda jelas dengan apa yang anda inginkan.

4.      Berikan pendapat anda

Tidak salah jika anda ingin mengemukakan pendapat dan mengekspresikan perasaan anda. Anda hormati keinginan diri anda dan menginginkan orang disekeliling anda menghormati anda juga. Anda mengingatkan orang lain bahawa anda juga seseorang yang mempunyai keperluan dan kesibukan sendiri.

5.      Berhenti berfikir tentang orang lain

Berhenti berfikir apa yang orang katakan tentang anda. Orang di sekeliling anda haruslah sedar dan terima anda seadanya. Jangan berasa bersalah kerana anda mengutamakan diri anda dahulu.

Orang yang berjaya bukanlah orang yang sering berkata YA untuk setiap peluang dan kesempatan dalam hidupnya, tetapi orang yang berani berkata TIDAK untuk sesuatu yang melanggar apa yang dipercayainya.

Bagaimana pula dengan anda? Adakah anda ‘people pleaser’?

Apa yang anda lakukan untuk berkata TIDAK.

5 Qualities To Maintain Long-Lasting Friendship

I believe that everyone must have someone they can depend on that is called friends. Friends are the most valuable people in life after our family. Without friends, our life will be boring and we will feel lonely. However, it is not an easy task as it seems to keep our friendship long-lasting for years to come.  Here are some secrets to share with everyone what qualities we should have to maintain long-lasting friendship.

1.      Loyalty

It is important to have friends that will never leave you. Friend in need is a friend indeed. Once we know that they will be there with you even how tough the situations are it will develop trust. A strong bond will form as trust comes.  When it happens, a safe environment is created and both people will start to open up to each other or share secrets.

2.      Honesty

Honesty is important to form a long-lasting friendship. You cannot expect a long-lasting friendship that starts with lies. At the beginning of a friendship, you must be honest about yourself that makes your friends know who you actually are. When your friends need advices or some critics or comments from you, you as friends must be honest with them as it will help them to avoid making a bad decision of their life.

3.      Understanding

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood. – Seneca.

Friends should understand each other. They are the one that knows about you even without you telling them what is happening. They know what you think and why you do it. As well as when to bring you up and never let you down. They understand you and they don’t judge you.  At the end of the day it will improve your friendship.

4.      Balance

Friendship is a two way street not a one way road. It will never work if only one side makes the efforts. It is a give and take process. You cannot keep giving and the other keep receiving. Both parties need to put the same amount of efforts to make a long-lasting friendship whether in listening, talking or doing favours. If there is no balance in friendship eventually it will make you or the other party have a strained feeling. Invest in people who invest in you-the Alison Show.

5.      Forgiving

Friends make mistakes too. It is how you accept it. Sometimes you and your friends will have difference in opinions and views which results in disagreements. We all had indulged in so many fights with friends that eventually at the end of it all, we will make back up. This is where forgiving is an important quality that will make your friendship improve better than before. Forgive and forget. Don’t let one mistake ruin a beautiful thing.

Don’t forget to thank your friends who always stand by you and never let you go. Thank you friends!

Now it’s your turn. What others qualities that you think can make friendship a lifelong bond?
