Thank You Note I ^^ :) :)

 Hello Bishnu,

You know my greatest happiness is to receive books written by my favorite author, about my favorite idol from my finest friend. This is the third time that I have smiled the widest. Thank you so much for the wonderful books that you sent me. Its beautifully wrapped by gift wrapper. I hated to open it but I did as I couldn’t wait. It is a perfect present/ treats for me, not only was it the perfect present (I haven’t been able to put it down!) but it will certainly come in handy for my writing skills as well hehe. You picked the perfect thing!

I am truly grateful for your kindness and generosity!  All the colleagues are super excited to read “MESSI more than a super star” which is great! I also got thrashing words like, “If you have human heart you will allow others to read it first!” Damn me! I carry human heart but for now I be a demon and read it first alright(:P :P:P)  I need to do instantly what I crave for. Now, I have assigned myself, when to read which books. Today, I am reading a book sent by my brother. And next assignment is to read “MESSI more than a super star”.

Someone said, ‘In life you must always celebrate happy endings and new beginnings.’  When I just heard the news about your first job. I just rushed to congratulate you! You remember? :P I know that getting that first job after college is often very difficult , you are very lucky!  And I commend you to be down to the earth. Work hard and give it all you’ve got. You will find more success than you had ever thought. With your background and your artistic talent, you will make a fine contribution to TCC. Best wishes for success and keep in touch.

iNtO 2015 Resolutions^^

Yesterday while going through piles on my table, figuring out what needed to be moved over to the dust bin and what needed to stay in files.  I discovered a notebook in which I had written my 2015 resolutions. As much as my busyness and professional life bleed into each other, it shouldn’t have surprised me to find that so did my goals, as far as I know. 100% pass result with quality marks of my students, reading minimum of 10 books, writing 44 blog posts, decreasing my frustration level, being down to the earth. What did surprise me was that most of these somewhat bigger aspirations have actually been put into practice this year or at least are close to coming to fruition. It’s crazy to think about how quickly the past eleven months have gone by. When every day feels like there aren’t enough hours, though, I suppose it shouldn’t be a shock that this year and all the opportunities it held are coming to an end…

Spending the week with good friends

Spending the week with good friends and upcoming holiday’s window has certainly put me in the strength, but sitting inside the home, it’s put me in a reflective mood as well. I always thought my dad was crazy when he said, “Just wait the older you get the fasted the years go.” How is that even possible? And yet… it’s so true. Time is precious. Time with friends, time better used, and time better spent. The last month has been a busy one as I have mentioned in the last post. October was reserved by my students and work , I felt like in December I went the opposite way staying home and prioritizng my personal time over work time, knitting.

Suddenly, it’s time for holidays and fun and travelling, family time, and I’m worried about the aspirations2015 resolutions and the huge to-do list for the next two weeks staring me in the face. Alawai! So, I guess it’s time to take the lessons learned from 2013 and better start working on some 2015 resolutions.

                                          Number 1?

 Be more disciplined with time. This doesn’t mean I need to work harder, but I definitely need to work smarter. Sticking to time, I need to plan well. Because now that I’ve finally become better at finding that balance of work and play, I certainly don’t give it up! (wink wink)

And this month will be the perfect time to start putting some of those ideas into practice! with a smile on my face. The good thing is that I’m absolutely excited for every bit of it,  to fulfill my resolutions and the holiday. So let me make the last month of 2015 one to remember, shall I!?

Las(okay) like today, I am reading the 10th book, if I include the four text books then I have fulfilled my aspiration alright. Hehe you know I hardly read books and last year I exactly remember, it was during National day, 17^th of December, I posed for a photo snap and I accidently uttered, ‘These photos are for my blog post, I was blush blush then, I never intend to tell this… Damn me!’  My boss apparently heard it, “Yes  madam Rupa you do blog but I never seen you reading books? Boss confirmed.

I with all nononsense I notified her,” Madam, I finished reading 7 books.” Before I grin, she raised her eyebrows and stated, “Oh really? That sound good !”

I genuinely smiled at her.

“You want to know which books that I have completed so far?” I affirmed.

“Ya ya sure, can you tell me!”  She confirmed and smiled too.

“Bhutan history for class seven, Indian history, toposheet, Bhutan geography for class eight, principle geography for class eight, class seven science and class nice chemistry text book.” Nonstop flow of text books name made her to go all hahaha…

You know,  I always wished to become a serious reader, but I never became because I wasn’t serious about my destinations. When I kept your best wishes; very close to my heart, reminded to me constantly, worked smarter to achieve it and now watch what happened to me, “Wishes about to Fulfill” alright. I have read many wonderful books that gave me the “frequency” that became a gesture of joy and clarity as I now inhale contentment.

True motivating factor to let me read books were my blogger friends, who beyond doubt inspired me to read more books to have quality writing. I want to thank all of you for your words of inspiration and hope. I’ve encountered challenging times but with your inspiration I was uplifted an inch with an every fall and helped me to maintain a positive attitude and trust that “everything is as it should be, nothing is impossible”.

May you be blessed as you have blessed me.

  Loads of love and energy to you!

Goodbye November, Hi December^^

November sure went out with a bang for me and not in a celebratory way. It was a pathetic month for me, preparing questions, blue print, model answer, compiling CA, rushing to complete chapter, remedial support for students, calculating SUPW grade, preparation for annual examination, paper correction and result preparation really kept me busy. Thank god this busyness in me really washed away my bad emotions. Today; when I visited back to the memory of that past day, it was already elapsed. These raised smiles a broad!  Despite the busyness in my work field, we nailed TWO big events: 1) Birth Anniversary Of Our Fourth King and Annual School Award Night(ASAN). The fact was that it went as award Day instead of night hehe. We had a whole day of award ceremony day in Samcholing MSS. School administrations; thank you so much for these certificates, which will definitely going to be a motivating factors for me. “Really?” Oh! That’s slip of tongue. You know I was awarded with the certificate for being a matron, but nothing will turn my mind to be a matron then. Even the shower of goldly liquid every morning at my home, cannot hold me back. I hated this job. I was more like counselor and caged bird this year.  I need to give up and walk away; from this heck matronship. Truly; I am not designed to be a matron L ...

Thanks madam Phub for allowing me to post
this photo and helping me to wave farewell Nov. ;)

2015, these parts were hard for me this year!

-Matronship.

-Presence of leeches.

-Being cynophobia.

-Traveling.

-Meeting up with my friends.

-Driving.

-Being victim about my own weird feelings.

-Food that I eat.

-Being emotional fool.

-Hostel building being problematic.

-Dealing with tricky students in the school.

-Cough and cold,  didn’t recover as fast as it used to.

-Too many things happening!

-Having to tell people things they don’t want to hear.

-Anxiety about having conversations in which I tell people things they don’t want to hear. A lot of having to remember that now is not then.

-People I love were in freak-out mode, and it was painful to watch.

-I want a holiday so badly I can taste it. A proper holiday, with no work at all.

-I am doing things that scare me!

-Being with people I love.

-being depressed and in pain. But some of the pain got better and when I recognized the depression for what it was, that got better too.

2015, these were my favorite parts about you!

-Wearing my new cloths, and being warm, contented, comfortable, cozy.

-Mid-term vacation. Really was amazing. Next one is in January; it’s pretty close to full!

-Being able to read seven books :P my destination was to complete ten books in 2015, now I have only 30 days in hand. Please December be good to me to fulfill my objectives.

-I could buy a c.. for me, that’s kind of saving.

-School work, everything being superior.

-I was offered with multi workshop by school. I was pretty excited as I will be meeting up with my college friends. Pre-planned, Hi, guys!

-Being a Barca fan and left me undying smiles they proved me by being them championships, that was a very special and much dreamed-of thing. Xoxo

-I got to hang out with my Singaporean friend.

-Talked with my best friend, we spent hours on the phone giggling like teenage girlfriends sharing hilarious stories from classroom. Thanks teamViber for providing us with free call :P :P

-I met with capital H I M.

-I got a REALLY good piece of news that I am happy about^^

So, I am looking forward to an inner light for the month of December.

The sun rises over the Black mountain and I'm hoping I can wash away the busyness^^ tiredness of November as I try to capture the magic of December.

I have good news for me :P hehe you know, all of my life I had struggled with stomach ulcer, which included pains that were of the same kind to childbirth ( :P :P :P, I am talking as if I was a mother once) no worries I experienced through reading, it pained me. But this year I experienced less comparing to bygone years. Every disease in me must be waning. Happiest me! Thank god for everything^^

You might think kenchosum has forgotten you, No, he has not. Good news for you, your case file has been forwarded to him by the angels. So he is treating it now. You are next in line to confirm, you will be marked out for greatness. No matter what is happening around you, be pleased about.

Avoid anxiety, expect surprises from good. Almighty God can show up anytime even at the least expected time. Remember; we have 30 more days to go for this year to come to an end. You will restore, which you have lost, as long as you have faith in god.

Thank God for the year so far ^^

Happy New month J Happy December^^

Xoxo :)

Throwback^^ feelings

Hello everyone, 

How have you been? :) I am smiling at you? 

Ahh! Now I saw you smiling as well hehe :) :).

Well, today I have brought you throwback feelings in me. Happy reading, peaceful night and keep smiling :).

Another way I like to add some fabulous way to live a life is by treating yourself a well deserved gift.  I give a monthly salary treat to myself,  I handover gift every end of the month… You wanna know what I have gifted so far? :P  hehe lets that be a to secret :P  … and also we need to offer some of our income to KenChoSum(Buddha Dharma and Sanga). I have full faith in Capital Him, that’s, “KCS”. Real people hardly exist in this materialistic world. Sometimes the surroundings you live are too suffocating to breath in and you will find nothing real. At this time it's always important to surround yourself with positive, supportive, uplifting people, this becomes an extremely important survival mechanism when you are facing difficult times in your life.

Some friend lift you up, from miles
 and add smiles.

Today I really wanna talk about relationships, where I had bitter-sweet moment with all kinds of relationship that had surrounded me.  Relationships come in various forms, some are with people who live under same roof; who share the same blood, your relatives, friends, neighbor; Some of them live in the same community and others miles away. Some of these people have been in your life for as long as you can remember and others may have recently come into it. Most lift you up when you spend time together, while others drain you mentally, physically, emotionally, energetically ahhh!. Who could be this kind of person in my life? Yes I know you and you know yourself as well .I need not mention here to slam down you. :) :) :) Smile smile smile for you :)

If you have any of the above people in your life it's time to let them go. Be thankful for the time you shared, the lessons learned, but remember YOU matter, your feelings matter, wish them well, love, light peace and move on.

If you recognized any of the above in your relationships it's time to let them go. If for whatever reason you can't just reduce the time you spend with them. That’s what I actually do. 99.9% of my relationship with my community, friends far-near, relatives, colleagues are amazing but I failed to make it flawless just because of 0.1%. Sorry, to the people who falls on 0.1%; your attitude, justifies mine.

  I remember when I began to cut people out of my life like those listed above. It was so hard and yet the peace that followed it was so worth it. Somebody rightly said, ‘Truth is like a  I tried to do it gently but some required blocking of emails and FB. I haven't missed a one because they truly were toxic. It is well worth it and I highly recommend getting toxic people out of your life, immediately!!
:p :P :P :P hehe :) ^^

P.S. - Don't think that you need to spend a huge amunt of money to treat yourself to a well-deserved gift. Even if it's a nap after a long tiring day, a moment in the sun, watching your favorite show, cheering your favorite football club, or wearing makeup and taking selfie, eating your favorite dish, listening to best soothing music, wearing best suit dresses, curling up with a good book are also "Treat to yourself!" hehe menbay ya la(don’t you think so).Yes alright

I am huge fan f FCB and this is a treat for me (wink wink)

Thank you la ;) beyond words :)

 Treat to me !!

It is well worth it !! :)

 Yehaaa AiPee!!

Xoxo

Loads of love (wink wink)

Kadrinche Beyond Words ^^ Kinda Review :P :P hehe

I feel It’s been a long while since I last posted here; When I stopped feeling guilty, lazy, or like I was letting people down, I realized that that’s ok. I’ve really missed writing, but when life takes over, or when the blog is not calling me, I can’t force it. So this post is dedicated to being true and to wonderful author of Kadrinche Beyond Words and I would like to thank to those friends who are still reading my blabla.

Photo credit: Author of this book.

Today I have brought you a review of a good book, ‘KADRINCHE Beyond Words’ It’s a simple good book worth 200 pages. Authored by Jolly Kinley Wangchuk sir. He is a blogger, author, office goer and good parent. Author in his disclaimer, told us that, names of the people, places and organizations were used to make story more authentic.” Yes the story is simply written with as expected realistic plots. When I read this book I kept protagonist as author himself and I was empathizing him all along the journey of my reading. And now when I see Kinley sir, I see the character of Wangchuk in him. Please be that la. Thank you so so much lah Author for this book. I wanna say, the most important thing a father can do

for his children is to love their mother. So love your beautiful wife unconditionally. It really touched my heart and gave me a life lesson to be a good wify haha… and the importance of parental love to children. I had a good times dating with this wonderful book. I have revised the book in the form of question and answer. Please go through it ^^.

Characters in the story:

I came across many characters in this story but I have neglected the minor one, sorry for that.

•        Mrs. Karma, is the daughter of divorced parents. Poor village girl. True lover of Mr.Wangchuk. Mother of four children, sister of Thinley. and later went with another man, breaking the promises that she had tied with her husband.  She is from Tashigang. She is very beautiful and influencive.

•        Mr. Damchoe, a son of a rich man. Running his own business. Stole the happiness of Mr. Wangchuk and I can describe him as ‘offensive Damchoe.’Antogonist he is.

•        Mr. Wangchuk: he is protagonist in this book, inoffensive in nature, true lover, kind hearted, forgiving, gentle and hardworking man. Dedicated husband and a parent to four children. Heart patient. Toiled hard in his lives.

•        Mr. Thinley. Blood made brother to Karma. Studied till class VII and truck driver by professional, offensive man with unkind heart. He lack in gratitude.

•        Mrs.  Zam and Thuju, influential person. Who enjoy flirting and modern life…

•        Mr. Karpola: jolly hilarious man. Adopted brother to karma; good friend of Wangchuk in Trashigang. Kind man though messy. :P

•        Eden: a girl who wanted to marry wangchuk. Stylish modern and open.

•        Kelden Tshering: first son of Wangchuk and he is  successful software engineer. Yeshi tsogyal is medical officer; Jetsen Lhamu is the youngest pilot and youngest son Pelden Drukpa civil engineer by profession.

-          Ms. Dawa: Kind, understanding and beautiful. Had huge crush on Wangchuk. Police officer by profession.

-          Namgay: human ghost, boss of bosses gunda boss :P.

Your opinion of the illustrations tastes and figures.

This book illustrates the quality of human being. Humanity at difficult situations and remaining at base at that kind of time will discover the  beautiful butter fly from ugly caterpillar. I also come to know that; life has a way of kicking us when we’re down. And just when we think we can’t fall any lower, what we have to do.  This book also told me, setbacks, failures, and tragedy are a part of life. Whether we manage to find joy and success in the daily struggle of life is largely dependent on our ability to continue through even the toughest adversity without ever giving up.

The book may be predictable in parts, but that does not bring any boredom in reading what is next. I was hungry and craving to read what is next. As soon as I have started reading this book I was eager to know who could be Wangchuk’s better half. Any ways, this is a beautiful, touching, nonfictional work(though author says it’s a fiction :P), heart-warming story that will sure to leave your eyes welled with tears at the end. I was immediately captivated and transported into the world of many people around; while reading.

What you felt as you read?

This book is simple, humorous, and emotional and heart touching story. Truly I had a mixture of feeling; emotion stretches from confusion to laughter to happiness to frustration and lastly I landed up crying. I Do Not Want To Cry, But The Tears Just Fall Down My Cheeks  when Wangchuk decided to sell his kidney and heart less Karma left her precious family behind because of fake people around. Wangchuk was permanently scarred. . Truly I feel today’s worlds is materialistic and the real people is very rare. I was just wondering, is there any man who is like ‘Wangchuk.’ Does this kind of man exist in this world? I was asking this question to author casually and he bumped me with this answer, “Ya he does exist.” And I was all like ‘Innala’(is it true)…

 And Karpola is a man who kept me all the time hahahaha…

What you noticed while you read?

I have noticed the life of a human being. A high school boy getting into job, then marriage.  Children at home, misunderstanding those who can shoulder the heaviness of misunderstanding and bring it into the base level that person will turn into gold at the end but author didn’t tell us what happened to Karma after her marriage with Damchoe. Author, brilliantly captures the emotions of human heart which will tug the reader’s hearts but peculiarly falls short on the passion that this kind of story desperately deserves second edition :P. It’s a Bhutanese context which gave me the real pictures of places and human characters.  I was frightened by the story of female goast found in Chendebji. I am goast phobia. Damn me! :P

Questions you have after reading.

•             Love is always ready to excuse, trusting, to hope, to endure whatever comes, stay true. But why did Karma married Damchoe?

•               Wangchuk died because of heart attack. Was it all because of Karma’s divorce? If it so then, why did he kept photo of her carrying all the time?

•             Why Dawa remained spinster and helping out to Wangchuk in a difficult time when Wangchuk is already rejecting her?  Is that what we should do if we don’t get the person which we have loved the most? Did all four children looked after Dawa in her old age?

What did you imagine of?

I imagined life as a good book. The further you get into it, the more it begins to make sense.

What you wondered?

The one characteristic of authentic power that most people overlook is humbleness. It is important for many reasons. A humble person walks in a friendly world. And at the end he discovers gold in him as Sherab clearly mentioned in his review. As I read the story I just wondered of how this sweet tale of a man but everlasting love mean so much to someone and please read this book so that  you will really understand what it really means.

If you’re dying to start ‘Kadrinche…’, I say go for it.   You won’t regret.

What you learned?

Look, at the end of the day, the fact is that time is precious. Don’t spend your life doing things you don’t want to do. We all have to face uncomfortable social situations from time to time, so it’s best to do so with a plan. A well-crafted strategy will let you enjoy your activity of choice with peace of mind and ensure that you aren’t hurting anyone’s feelings. Make sure you enjoy the moment ^^ Life is just now. 

 What you thought was important?

There are so many things that are important to me and they are success, my student, friends, family, and contentment.

And also we should share our dreams, aspirations, smiles and passions with each other. Though you will have bitter-sweet endings to things sometimes but we cannot afford to think that it’s the end, instead move on with the memories that we held within us. It’s important for me to share today because sometimes the most uncomfortable things are the things which will help us most. Healing from pain means looking aback and acknowledging it as well as being positive and striving to move beyond it. Nothing happened to me but I am just feeling low and dumbfounded these days. In my mind I always have these, “True people are rare in this materialistic world.” Everything around me is fake and suffocating. But I am managing to give away my smiles, just to hide the pain ? No worries; ups and downs are  a part of life. I am strong today hehe. 

What you think will happen next?

I really cannot say what will happen next. As today I am mentally sick and I wish I can imagine and think more. Damn disturbed mind! :P Let me guess, four siblings lives happily ever after. They will also bring Aunty Dawa in Wangchuk’s heaven.   Pelden Drukpa will encourage people to have green activities in our country as he has already started with it. I am an environmental science teacher, Thanks Pelden for proposing to come up with this book. Lets practice green activities XOXO ^^.

Conclusion + Last words.

Wangchuk made me to fall in love with the world, society, the characters, the story, everything, and then Karma ripped it all away!  

This is one of my all time favorite dating with Kadrinche. so I had to save it for last.  Fantasy fans who have not read this book are seriously missing out.  Also, I wasn’t really a fantasy fan before I read this book so if you know someone who maybe needs the right fantasy book to get them into the genre, this might be for them!

I hope you’ve found some great gift ideas for yourself or for a friend alright?  Please get a copy for you tupga(okay)  and the only people with whom you should try to get even are those who have helped you.Kadrinche beyond words ata Kinley.

Xoxo

Pleasent evening ahead :)
