When You Love Someone

Really addicted to this simple, a bit cheesy, but sweet song by my favorite duo, Endah N Rhesa.

Written here are the lyrics to this song.. Enjoy Folks! Especially to those who have that special someone deep down in their hearts. (insert winky face here)

When You Love Someone
By: Endah N Rhesa

I love you but its not so easy
to make you here with me
I wanna touch and hold you forever
but you're still in my dreams

And I can't stand to wait till night is coming to my life
And I still have the chance to break the silence

When you love someone
Just be brave to say that you want him to be with you
When you hold your love
Don't ever let it go
Or you will lose your chance to make your dreams come true

I used to hide and watch you from a distance
And I knew you realized
I was looking for a time to get closer at least to say "Hello"
And I can't stand to wait your life is coming to my life

When you love someone
Just be brave to say that you want him to be with you
When you hold your love
Don't ever let it go
Or you will lose your chance to make your dreams come true

And I never thought that I'm so strong
I stuck on you and wait so long
But when love comes it can't be wrong
Don't ever give up just try and try to get what you want
Cause love will find the way.....

When you love someone
Just be brave to say that you want him to be with you
When you hold your love
Don't ever let it go
Or you will lose your chance to make your dreams come true

Petrichor: The Beauty of After Rain

Let me ask you one question, What is your favorite time of the year? Is it when you get a present from your loved ones, or is it when you get the highest score of mathematics exam in your class? If I were to pick, I would pick neither of them. My Favorite time is that time after rain. I just love the feeling of fresh air after all of its dust being washed over by the water of the rain, I just love the dampness of my clothes after its being showered by the rain, I just love to play with the puddle that was created by the rain, but what I love the most about it is the smell or the scent after rain.


two children after the rain :D
Petrichor (/ˈpɛtrɨkɔər/) is the scent of rain on dry earth, or the scent of dust after rain. The word is constructed from Greekpetros, meaningstone + ichor, the fluid that flows in the veins of the gods in Greek mythology. It is defined as "the distinctive scent which accompanies the first rain after a long warm dry spell"


Petrichor is caused by some plants which secrete oils during dry periods, when the rain comes, these oil are being released into the air. The second reaction that creates Petrichor occurs when chemicals produced by soil-dwelling bacteria known as astinomycetes are released. These aromatic compounds combine to create pleasant petrichor when the rain hits the ground. You can also smell petrichor when you're watering your garden in a sunny day.


Petrichor not only can be smelled after the rain, its also can be smelled when its about to rain. Another scent associated with rain is ozone. During a thunderstorm, lightning can split oxygen and nitrogen molecules in the atmosphere, and they in turn can recombine into nitric oxide. This substance interacts with other chemicals in the atmosphere to form ozone, which has a sharp smell faintly reminiscent of chlorine. So when people said that they can smell the rain coming, it may be actually the wind from an approaching storm has carried ozone down from the clouds and into the person nostrils

I love Petrichor because it makes me have this flashback moment, its like when you're listening to an old song your parents played for you, it brings back to the days when I was only six years old, when I used to play outside after the rain with my cousins after being locked in our house because our parents didn't allow us to play under the rain.


Petrichor is a sign, a sign that the tough days are over, by tough I mean the dry and hot days and will be soon replaced with the calming raindrops, the eraser of the dust in the dusty air. It is also a sign that a rain will come and warn you to search for a shelter or ask you to come out and play under the giant shower that is rain.

About This Quirky Girl..

Greetings to you all the people in the internet, My name is Nurina Ayuningtyas. People in my life used to call me Ayu but apparently they changed their mind and call me Nurina instead. Well, I prefer Ayu to be honest, its shorter and less.. formal I guess, but My Teacher in my Elementary School refused to call me Ayu because of a few irrelevant reasons, and then all my friends joined her club and started to call me Nurina also, no matter how hard I was trying to tell them not to call me Nurina, they insisted and keep on calling me Nurina, so there I was spending my elementary school years hating the sound of my name every time someone called me, but its not really a problem anymore. Its even more like a gift to me now, Like in my school the only student whose name is Nurina is only me, I mean how cool is that? Okay, To be honest? Not really.

Anyway, speaking of school, I'm studying at SMAN 1 Tangerang, a very small place which located beside a mini market called Ind*mar*t. I'm the first grader, don't you just love being the first grader? I do, that's why I'm trying to make the most of it while it last.

Ini dia lapangan smanitra kuu yang mini dan berwarna-warni, unyuuuu kannn? :3


Back to SMANITRA or the nickname for my lovely school so that people don't have to mention the whole name of my school. SMANITRA is simple but effective, its a really small school so its easy to go anywhere, you don't have to be affraid to get lost in this school, (soalnya mau nyasar kemana? wkwk) and because of the limitation of its latitude its easier for us to know all the members of SMANITRAN and become close to each and every one of them. In this small school also, I met so many great people with big visions in their head, I also found this person who completely changed my mindset about life, the same person who has successfully motivated me to  move my lazy self and create this blog. Simply said, I Love Smanitra. :)

I'm a nerd, I could go on three days not doing anything but locking myself in my room and reading a book. The genre of book that I love the most is Fiction. Fiction books are so addictive, I just can't get enough of it. It has this ability to take my mind off to somewhere else, it allows me to enter the world no one can enters, and no one can complains about it. So, I guess Books are my escape when the real world is being too harsh to me? I really wanna change that to be honest, Problems are there to be solved not to be abandoned right? 

soo... that was all the randomness from this newbie for this time, hope I don't bore you with my nonsense. BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! :D
