So, I've always been obsessed watching musical movies. From the classic like Les Miserables to the teenage like High School Musical or the nowadays like The Greatest Showman. Not to mention the classic Disney musical movie.

I've always dreaming of living in town where Broadway show is in town. I'd rather watch a live theatre show like that rather than going to cinema. Unfortunately I'm born in the city (in a country) where musical show is not popular. Such as New York or Paris.

No, I don't understand music. I've always been bad in it. But it's just amazing to see a musical actress having to do acting, singing, expressing the conversation through music. It's just... Stunning.

Okay enough. Have a good weekend.

Redefinisi Cinta (ku) Saat Ini.

Biarlah cinta terbesar ku kini ku peruntukkan pada-Nya

Sebagian besar lagi, ku berikan kepada wanita mulia yang telah melahirkan ku ke dunia

Sisanya, akan ku berikan kepada semesta beserta isinya

Lalu kepada orang-orang

yang sedang menyuarakan keadilan

Tak lupa juga bagi mereka yang belum bisa merasakan

hakikat kemerdekaan

Negeri ini masih butuh banyak cinta, kawan

untuk disertakan ketika mendidik suatu bangsa

A Letter from Keeana

Dear Nick and Laura, I wrote this letter a few times before I decided to do what I should've done earlier long time ago. And this is probably going to be my last chance to say things that always going around in my head.

As I'm writing this, Lorraine is beside me sleeping peacefully with her thumb in her mouth. She's the best thing that ever happened in my entire life. As she's also a result from what both of you have sacrificed for me.

Both of you should've never been apart. It's always been my dream growing up with someone who would do anything for my happiness. Taking care of my little things even something that I never thought it was there. The world might see us as two people who's trying to kill each other but deep inside our hearts we're trying to keep each other's smiles. Lucky, I've seen it since the first time I saw both of you. You guys were representation of my dream. And how dare I am ruining all of it.

Nick, I love you, I really do. You make me feel so special while everybody else think that I'm weird. All of the things that we've been through is something precious. Until I realized I fell in love with the wrong person. I'm just a stranger trying to ruin what two people have built for a long time. How can I be so selfish? Just like what we said in our vow that we're going to save each other's hearts. And that's what I exactly do right now, saving your hearts for the right person. A person who's also been saving your heart since you realized you have someone that will never turn your back.

Laura, I'm sorry for ruining it. I never had a chance to say it. But now I do. In our wedding day, Nick and I realized that there's something going wrong. I had tried to make him feeling me as his home. But I'm not, no matter how hard I try. You are. The way Nick looks at you is something won't happen to me. Now it's time for him to come home. And so do you.

I know it's not too late to fix things. But if I could ever ask you guys one last time. Please, taking care of Lorraine. I will forever live inside of her. I can see both of you as the most favorite people of mine without have to break nothing. Thank you for everything you both have done to me. I hope one day, somebody will look at me the way you guys look at each other.

Keeana.

Him.

Life is too tough for me to pass it alone.

I've got him.

He is;

A reminder. As I live my life based on the religion I believe, sometimes I lost. He's there to remind you that our religion is a light.

A discuss friend. I have so many questions. He's there to discuss it with me. Sharing all of both opposite opinions and still fine with it.

A listener. Complete. A talk-active girl with a silent boy. No matter how unimportant the topic is. He listens.

Someone who is not expecting me to be someone I'm not or better in other's expectations. But together making the best version of ourselves.

Do I regret ended up being Sociology Education student?

Truth is, I've been questioning the same question to myself. As 2017 is almost over and we prepare for welcoming 2018, let me see where I was capturing myself at the very beginning of 2017.

2017 was my senior year. This year had been so hectic for me personally because I needed to prepare lots of preparation for college. I knew where I wanted to be. An English Literature or Journalism student in university where is located at Jatinangor.

Long story short, destiny had taken me to another path of life. Sociology Education of Indonesia University of Education is where I'm belong now.

So, back to the main question.

Do I regret it?

It turns the opposite. I truly am grateful and thankful for where I'm at now. Even being in the study program that I had never thought before. My dream to be a writer and journlaist, my passion in English speech, have grown here. Some of the lecturer never have problem with me speaking English in discussion or presentation. And we have "extracurricular" of Sociology Journalism. They provide me a place to learn something I'm passionate with.

Plus, I know that I also concern in sociology issues like gender equality and feminism. And of course, I learn A LOT here.

Further than that, I'm surrounded by supportive friends. And the seniors never feel like a senior. They more like a friend and it makes easier for us to ask something without feeling guilty and awkward. This also the main reason why I love it to be here.

I know I'm going to spend the next couple years being student of this study program. I don't know whether I will still have the same energy as the first semester or not. One thing for sure, I don't regret being here.

Stay strong. No matter what, stay strong. Even though it might be the hardest thing to do, stay strong. Be strong. You are a Mu’min of Allah Azza Wa Jall. You have to be strong. _____ Indeed there are moments in our lives when we are tested with what we may say the hardest ones yet we find ourselves in such situations where we are able to surpass that, moments where we would be thinking and reflecting upon our deeds and ask, how did I survive that? O flag bearer of Islam, it is out of the Love and Mercy of Allah Azza Wa Jall.  Allahu’akbar. Nothing happens to the life of a believer except what is good and best for him. So trust in Him, Believe in Him, there is a beautiful hikmah from everything that is happening to us. ______ O Allah, just like how you made the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalaam strong when he lost his sons and Khadijah RA, keep me strong as well. O Allah, just like how you made Abu Bakr As Siddiq strong when the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalaam passed away, keep me strong as well. O Allah, just like how you made ‘Umar Ibn Al Khattab strong when he chose to announce his Islam even though it would endanger his life, keep me strong as well. O Allah, just like how you made ‘Uthman Ibn Affan strong when he was being besieged by fellow Muslims to kill him, keep me strong as well. O Allah, just like how you made ‘Ali Ibn Abi Talib strong in the front lines of the Muslim army against the enemies of Islam, keep me strong as well. O Allah, just like how you made Bilal Ibn Rabah RA strong at the time when he was being tortured, keep me strong. O Allah, just like how you made Ammar Ibn Yassir RA strong when he witnessed the martyrdom of both his parents, keep me strong as well. O Allah, just like how you made Khadijah Bint Khuwaylid RA strong at the time when the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalaam came to her shivering when he received the news of him being a Prophet of Allah, keep me strong as well. O Allah, just like how you made Hamza Ibn Abdul Muttalib RA strong when he protected the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalaam in Makkah until the Battle of Uhud, keep me strong as well. O Allah, just like how you made Zaid Ibn Harith RA strong enough to accompany the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalaam to the people of Taif, keep me strong as well. O Allah, just like how you made Fatimah Bint Muhammad RA strong at the time she lost her beloved father, keep me strong as well. O Allah, just like how you made Umm Ruman RA strong when Abu Bakr RA left with the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalaam for hijra, keep me strong as well. O Allah, just like how you made these great Muslims strong, keep me strong as well.  La hawla wala Quwwata illa Billah. Indeed, there is no Might and Power except in You, O Allah. Keep the Ummah Strong. Keep us strong. Keep me strong, O Allah. _____ And this is a much needed du’a. May Allah Azza Wa Jall accept our dua. Amin. Zohayma

#HonestThoughtOn Makeup 👀

(My bad is never know how to start a passage)

Makeup is commonly known as a girly thing. Like, every girls have at least one kind of makeup in their purse. For me personally, since my right-brain is never work for art, the only art I can least do is makeup. Face is my canvas. And there, how I express myself.

But sadly the society nowadays, (well, in this case I speak about the environment where I live but maybe you find the same situation in your place), mostly they think makeup is for those people who have insecurities. We easily find someone says "ew, you wear too much makeup, you look like a sl*t trying to catch money-man eyes" BUT when they see a girl with a bare face and all the flaws she has, they be like "ew, seriously? Is that how you look without makeup? Poor you". What. The. Hell. Do. You. Want. Dude.

The sentence "don't wear makeup, you're beautiful in your own way" or "makeup is unnecessary because beauty comes from inside". Well, I do one hundred percent agree that 'inner beauty' like behaviour, intelligence, manner, and the other soft-skill are so important for someone to have (girls in this case). But, darling, let me tell you. Some people wear makeup because it's one of the way they can express themselves. Some others, have their own level of confidence. You may feel comfortable without any foundation on your face, but you can't push someone else to feel the same way. You may have natural thick-shaped eyebrows but some others need to cover some part of their eyebrow with makeup. How so ever, for me, the most important thing is THEY USE THEY OWN FRICKIN MONEY. It's none of my or your business.

One more thing, we (girls) or even boys, wear makeup is NOT TO PLEASE everyone. We're not trying to catch someone's eyes. We're not trying to be the center of attention. We do makeup for the sake of our own satisfaction. We do makeup because we feel a thousand levels of our confidences boost.

I don't say girls should wear makeup. I say, either you wear layers and layers of makeup or nothing at all, we all girls beautiful when we find the point of our own comfortability and confidence.

Love, Rheina ❤

#HonestThoughtOn

New series on my blooogggg!!!!

From now on, I'll share my mostttt honest thought on something or an issue. And I'll titled it #HonestThoughtOn.

First post after this;)

Meet Sona. He and the other children here in Kampung Naga need to climb up approximately 439 stairs every single day to reach the school which is located outside the area of Kampung Naga itself. When I asked him what he’d like to become later when he grows up, he said he’d like to become a policeman! I hope he won’t lose his spirit to achieve it ❤ . . Bye orang orang lemah yang kalo ada kelas di lt.6 maunya lebih baik kesiangan ngantri naik lift daripada naik tangga (termasuk saya) 😁 (at Obyek Wisata Kampung Naga)

Cantik (?)

Hmm... Apa ya cantik itu? Gampangnya sih, kata KBBI /can·tik/ a 1 elok; molek (tentang wajah, muka perempuan). Kalo gitu, sempit banget gak sih arti kata cantik? If it's all about physical things.

Menurut ku, cantik itu... Subjektif. Definisi cantik itu merupakan sebuah social construction. Kenapa? Soalnya it's going to be different di setiap wilayah. Oke lah, di negeri tercinta ku ini. Konstruksi perempuan cantik itu idung mancung, rambut panjang, pipi tirus, tinggi, ramping, la la la. Dude, I'm nowhere to be called cantik, dong. Coba jalan-jalan dan liat ke suku Hottentot di Afrika. Tanya deh bayangan mereka perempuan cantik tuh kaya apa. They're going to say the one with perut buncit. Serius. Beda, kan? Ketika orang sini mendambakan perut ramping kaya model VS, somewhere at the other side of this globe malah ingin perutnya buncit.

Balik lagi ke Indonesia, rasanya susaaaaah banget menghargai ciptaan Yang Maha Kuasa. Ada cewe rambutnya ikal dikatain "ah gimbal kek sapu ijuk." Ada cewe kulitnya coklat dari sananya dikatain "ahhh ireng lu." Yang gendut dikatain "hahaha dasar buntet." Yang kurus dikatain "emang ga dikasih makan ya? Ga proposional nih kurusnya." Semuanya masih anget banget kedenger di sekeliling kita.

Kasus lain, kalo ada orang ngelakuin plastic surgery, langsung dikatain "ga bersyukur banget sih." Babe, let me tell you, konstruksi sosial seperti apa yang berlaku di situ. Kalo masih aja kaya yang tadi disebutin. Yha, we need to reflect the society.

Nah, nyangkut ke body shaming. Sekarang udah lain cerita. Ketika ada yang ingin memulai sebuah konstruksi baru kalo cantik itu yang "curves", ada yang teriak "no, beauty still when you are skinny." And goes on and goes on...

What I'm trying to say is... YOU CAN'T PLEASE EVERYONE. Just be confident with who you really are. Either kamu skinny, curvy, black, white, purple, green apapun lah, you're beautiful darling, since the first time you born.

Ga salah, ingin usaha terlihat 'cantik' dengan makeup, (karna makeup sendiri is not only about makes you pretty, but makes you confident), tapi ga salah juga kalo emang you want to show the world your pure face without makeup, you're still pretty in any way. Do whatever that makes you confident with yourself. The beauty will follow behind.

So, lets start appreciate what Allah has created and given. Buat sebuah kondisi masyarakat yang saling mendukung dan full of positive vibes. Percaya deh, se simple bilang "your natural wavy hair is so cute", it can lighten up their day.

xx ❤

First. Since. Forever.

3 years ago after the bussiness of senior year in my Junior High School, never once I remembered I had an tumblr account. Until today in the most unexpected time I can tell, I find this fetus here.

I've considered about having a personal blog since a long long time in high school, actually. Because I thought my mind grew wider and I really needed a place where I could share all of my idea. And here I am.

Of course, this time it's going to be different with the last time. Since I'm now a college student, my post will be more about issues that I really concern of. Bye all the fan-girling stuffs 😂

And I really need to tell you guys about this. Since my English is not that excellent, you might find a lot of grammatical error or undetectable sentences and vice versa. And of course, I'm not going to use full English in every post. Yes, I'm going to make it more to Bahasa Indonesia.

That's all for the first post since forever. Thank you for all those follower who've been sticking with this page ever since 😭

And welcome to the brand new Rheina's mind and thought. :)

ignore it

Ok… Honestly, I’m not the kind of girl who think too much about ex. But, there’s a time when you really miss that moment with your ex, that sweet memories, that cute text, that late night jokes, and etc. Cause I do. Yeah, I don’t even understand, so yesterday (actually Friday) night my mind thought about something I won’t to. But, it’s so hard to ignore it. Suddenly I thought about someone, someone I already knew. That’s my ex. You know? I miss our late night chats, our sweet hand-in-hand, your attentions, and so many more memories I could never forget. I know that you’re already with someone new (not actually new) now. But, I honestly don’t care, all I know is I’ve missed you. Thank you.

Haha njir jiji banget why :(
