Can I Be Perfect? But (UN)PERFECTNESS IS ME

(UN)PERFECTNESS IS ME Tadi pagi tak sengaja secara random Joox muter lagu Anne Marie - Perfect to Me . Tiba-tiba kata ‘perfect’ dalam lagunya terngiang di kepalaku. Seketika dalam hati aku berkata, ‘benar juga apa yang Anne bilang’. Iyap! Memang, sempurna bukanlah soal tubuh yang bodygoals, pandai dalam ber-makeup, memiliki barang mewah yang tak semua orang punya, menjadi pusat perhatian banyak orang, ataupun hal-hal lainnya. “KESEMPURNAAN”, itulah hal yang setiap orang ingin capai dalam hidupnya.

Dari definisi tersebut saya kira tiap orang memiliki perspektif dan ukuran yang berbeda tentang kesempurnaan itu sendiri. Menurutku, perfect disini adalah tentang kebahagia...

Iyapp!! Itulah lagu Cublak-Cublak Suweng. Dulu waktu masih anak-anak sering kita bermain dengan menyanyikan lagu itu.

Cublak-Cublak Suweng adalah lagu dolanan anak-anak di Jawa karya Sunan Giri (1442M). Dulu mungkin kita sering bermain dengan kawan dan menyanyikan lagu tersebut.

Most of us feel irritated by the appearance of pimples on our face, especially near the D-day and during menstruation. Moreover, it so much disturbs our appearance. Then why can acne appear near and during menstruation occur? Premenstrual flare-ups of acne occur in 63% of acne-prone women. These occur 7 to 10 days before the start of the period, and usually subside once menstruation begins. Changes in hormone concentration are responsible for these acne breakouts. Testosterone remains at a constant level during the whole cycle, while estrogen and progesterone drop as the period approaches. This means that before and during menstruation, testosterone levels are higher than the female hormones. The increased level of progesterone in the middle of the cycle stimulates the production of sebum. This natural skin oil, coupled with a compression of the pores, promotes excessive bacteria and the onset of acne The problem is exacerbated when the amount of testosterone ho...
