MakeUp^^SelFie

TWO in ONE selfie...

Selfie:

I didn't know that selfie is a word hehehe.  When I first saw this word in FaceBook, I thought that they just made it up but it does exist in an oxford dictionary that states:

"a photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically one taken with a smartphone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website."

 I feel occasional selfies are acceptable, but posting a new picture of yourself every day isn’t necessary… :P Sorry I am telling to myself... Sigh!! :P

MakeUp. 

Appearance is a vital factor in a personal life. On a daily basis people perform the same routine to make their appearance more attractive. After waking up they brush their teeth, wash their face, style their hair, apply their makeup and the list goes on. Because of people’s external values of wanting to look better to the public, applying makeup seems to be the most important factor. It is a mask that is applied to enhance our looks. Really? Ya, I am serious...ekekek :P

Do you wear makeup everyday Rupa?

Makeup for me is within four walls of my room. I need a big day to revel outside lolx :P  Again coming here in Trongsa I getting hydrophobic... ahh... I dont know after applying water on my face it starts to itch and I will have blisters all over my face…I am scared of water. I used rose water to wash my face and lately I am adapting with normal water. I have stomach disorder as well; for all those reasons I have drakspots all over my face. But I am okay with who I am, what I am, or how I look… I have minimal interest to camouflage my skin by applying various cosmetics plus I am too lazy.

 I have tried wearing makeup last

 Sunday and here I am LOLx :P 

Fairer and spotless face of mine :P 

haha 

 But one of my favorite things to do to pass the time is sit in front of my computer and watch YouTube videos. I usually end up watching some of my favorite online makeup gurus for hours on end. Among my favorites is Lisa Eldridge, who comes up with the perfect blend of cute makeup tips. Lately I have downloaded a video of her named, “MakeupForGlasses.” Thinking it will be useful for me. The cuteness of video was a little lost on me hehe…

My advice to you ladies, if you feel insecure, Ugly, Shy about the way you look. Why not try makeup? Makeup doesn't mean changing your whole self; it's just a tweak of how you present yourself. It just has this magic that gives you good vibes about how you look. Wearing makeup can bring out a better you because it can hide your insecurities and enhance your beauty. When you wear makeup, it can hide your insecurities. It can cover your blemishes on your face such as pimples, dark spots, scars, and even uneven skin tones; foundations that fit your skin tone will do the job. You would look as if you don't have blemishes at all. Trust me. Haha…

Makeup will reveal your hidden beauty, ladies try it out… 

And stay beautiful and attractive forever. 

Happy Weekend Friends..

Bye Till Next Time...

The Telephone Rang Beside The Bed^^Planner

Hello friends, It's been almost a month since my last post about Bloggers Meet In Trongsa. I have been very busy with my work lately that I hardly have time to even chat with Ragnomm. I think my body is suffering from my hectic schedule because I have been sickly lately.

I am from Dagana, a place with  over 14 geowgs.  The weather there is warm all most throughout the year so coming here in Trongsa,  was a big adjustment for me especially during my first year.  I literally felt like I was in the freezer on my very first day. Trongsa is colder than Paro :p Though we could experience snowfall in Paro.  haha that’s what I am experiencing, cold wind blows from Black Mountain …that’s weird! :P… Every time when cold season rolls in, I feel like to hibernate.

 I went home during our summer break :) 

I was planning a journey by bus and things got nasty at the end. In the last miles to my destination, events all turned against me, my patience dwindled and yet not hopes. There was a roadblock, the landslide could do nothing better than this. The road that sank promised it would only return after three days or a week."A week?" I tried to frown, putting on a hide for deep down, going back to residence is boring, yet no option. Next day, the telephone rang beside the bed early in the morning and I woke struggling to grab the receiver. A call from AuTsewang(A shopkeeper), “Gari tangmeylo dari, block clear beyanu(Traffic open for today)” I shrinked! Good news it was. A week's job was done overnight, I believed one gets success overnight If only we put determination and hard work in utmost effort. It was almost 7am. I woke up quickly,rushed washroom. Waked my brother and followed the short way. Aww the way seems horrible! I fell down four times...OMG L MY cloth was all painted with muddy sol… I received a call from my mom and I was too emotional then haha. Anyways, I got an ample of time to change my cloths, even I had a time to apply mascara lolx :P bus reached by almost 9am.The block was cleared, thanks to the road maintenance people. Hope was still alive. So,my journey started on 5^th of June, reached home by 7^th, I stayed for four days; on 13^th  I started my journey back to school and its obvious that its two days journey.I promised to spent my next summer vacation here in school only.

I am back to school.  I started my duty when the enrollment started in June 16^th.  Everyday is a busiest day for me. After mid-term examination I am taking additional 3 periods, which now I cannot weigh my periods, despite the fact that I am a matron L :P… Anyways, I am teaching the students in lower classes and I know lower class children will rock J I love to be with them.

Following are some of the serious plan for two seasons. As I’ve never been much of a planner although some people thought I was but honestly, I am not. In the first place; I don’t have planner notebooks to scan whenever I feel I have something to jot down or remember an event I missed or a day that I should remember. Although I believe I should have one but as I told you I am not a great planner for my every day. So, this time I want to become a serious and a passionate planner lolx. I am adopting a plan book and I have designed Summer-Autumn scoop :P

This is based on the popular 4-3-2-1  graphic organizers,

 manipulated a bit... I always use this strategy to weigh the students understanding of my lesson.

What a privilege it is to be ourselves and overcome the day being a great planner!

Oh well, I just hope it’s as easy as it is.

Wish me luck for I will really try this starting tomorrow!(lol)

Thank You For Being With Me...

Xoxo till next time :)

Bloggers Meet In Trongsa :)

In my life I always wanted be an engineer knowing the fact that I always used to score best marks in mathematics. That was the only dream I had since class four. I passed several exams with good marks in mathematics and when I reached class six I explored what are the basic subject to flourish as a complete engineer. We are asked to choose a stream: Science, Commerce and Arts. I qualified for science and I dropped biology and took mathematics as my main subject supported by IT(Information Technology). I did the examination of class twelve and I thought mathematics seem kinda okay for me… Hope and aspirations was still alive with me to be an engineer. When I got the result;  hope, aspirations everything died. Though I qualified for engineering course; my ranking seems foolish. So, my parents always wanted me to be a teacher.So I choose to be a teacher... :P LOLx  haha kidding aside... 

What are all these?

Sorry, it’s just an introduction of what I should be telling you today.  Yet very far to what I’ll be sharing right now (lol!) Huh???

So everyone probably notice the absence I made from my last post to this very day right? Nobody else to blame except me because I truly have been carried from the season and I have no way out!
Oh my, how I wish I really could detail everything right now yet for some who might just been so curious the sudden absence I made. Please allow me to pause for a moment as I will try to organize the events I have attended.

I don't know if many young readers know the concept of pen pals. Not too far back in the past, we often write to strangers from different people across the country and school. Sometimes, these strangers eventually became persons who you would share many details of your life through letters and post cards. They could even turn into your best friend, yet you might have never met them in person.

With the popularity of online forums today, letters are not written anymore, but pen pals exist. I have many of them and enjoy our conversations mostly focused on blog. Many of them I have never met in person.

In similar fashion, Rima Reyka, is a pen pal of mine. We chat over emails, wechat and Facebook a bit about blog and personal lives as well.

A few months ago I got an email from her. She told me that she will be visiting Bhutan. I also knew she had met up with many of the Bhutanese Bloggers and I was so jealous when they did, as I just wished I could meet her in person, as she became amazingly good pen pal of mine :P

She told me she was planning a surprise trip to Trongsa only to meet Ugyen Gyeltshen and myself.  She was Indonesian by birth but currently lives in Singapore, with her 13 years old son and sympathetic better half. We emailed back and forth for a little while, and I was looking forward to meet her in person.

Strangely, our first time meeting was in Trongsa at  Samcholing. I was nervous to meet her because we had so much in common… and to inform you, I am a lady who mess my home regularly. I know Singapore is considered as one of the cleanest country in the world :P So,I was nervous to receive her and take her to my resident. Even then I did my job, we met with each other, we laughed together, ate, traveled together, became a translator between khenpo(head of monk)-Rima and I also gave her a campus orientation…

Next day, I were tasked to call nearest taxi driver and Ugyen Sir, since we had planned to drive to Langthel just to meet our fellow writer/author.  

Next morning, I  ringed UG three times :P and I dilled taxi driver many times. Finally taxi driver responded me saying, he reached Taktse(name of a place) and he will be picking us exactly after two hours. Ahh! I know I am a lady with no patience. I cannot wait that long. Two hours is not a piece of cake for me. Then, I asked Rima to take a walk until junction and we will find any vehicle to reach our friend. Haha you know what happened?

On the way to junction, we met with a balero. I asked, ‘Au! Gati jaynimo?’(May I know where are you heading towards?)

‘Langthel’ he acted in response.

‘Au! Can I get a lift till langthel,I will pay for endeavor’ I said.

He declared ‘Tupla(okay), but wait for a minute, I will visit lhakhang and I will be back within a minute.’

Ahh! His ‘a minute’ nearly turned into an hour. We waited him for so long and he didn’t come back. I find him hostile L at that juncture. Luckily, we met with another balero; cousin of my students, who came to pick up them for vacation. They gave lift to both of us. He was generous that he offered front seat for us. But we denied to be in the front alright, Rima LOLx :P Haha anyways I enjoyed being outside.

I am asking you Rima, did u enjoy as well :P…

Walking on the muddy road, sweltering under the sun, drizzling shower on our forhead finally blessed us to meet with our comedian blogger, author of Dear Sedey, atheist :P,  engineer by professional, who joke seriously, give tender advice to younger’s, who loves chewing numerous doma(bettle nut) and pays not much interest on food stuffs :P he is Ugyen Gyeltshen.  He made us nosy to visit the power house… Actually it was suffocating inside the tunnel, though they have a huge tube to supply oxygen, still I couldn’t breathe fresh air. Condition of an engineer was just nasty there :P.  I idolize you Ugyen sir for loving your post so much, and so sorry to hear that you are apart from your family. Family is a very important part in one’s life. May Buddha Bless You With A New Job and Unite Together With Your FamiliesJ Like you, with perseverance, dedication, commitment, determination, stamina and resilience rarely need to be wished good luck because you make your own luck wherever you go. Haha its oki not to visit lhakhang as well lolx :P Truly, he never entered any lkahang; that we made to visit together…

When the sun shines during monsoon season, we embrace it. Day we spent together was spiced things up and walked down a mountain…After a beauty lunch at the MHPA personal lodge, an incredibly warm welcome at UG sirs place… a good dose of rice, suka roti, dal, spicy-curd, mixed veggie, desserts and tea…I brought a bag full of memories, laughed galore, solid sing-along, and finally we were back up to the top of the mountain; we call home.

On 2^nd of July, we reached Rima till Trongsa.. . Explored Trongsa Dzong, sat down  together for tea and snacks sponsored by UG sir and finally we fare welled Rima L

It was such a great pleasure to meet Rima, for the first time in person… and I was so happy to meet with Ugyen sir for the second time… :) See you both in future…

XOXO… Rima, happy stay in Bhutan tupga J have fun… Do not melt in Phuntsholing… Travel safe and see you

again J

A huge bunch of love to all my readers and to Rima-UG-Chogyal. J

Note: Ugyen sir, comment on my ‘Theme Font  namo, as per your compliment I have changed it into Times New Roman J.’ Thank You J

^_^FathersDay-WorldMusicDay-SummerSolstice^_^

I have been quiet lately and I need to apologize sincerely for neglecting you all. I am here now and I promise to never leave you again. Don’t worry though; I brought the best for you. I had brought the  #FathersDay , #WorldMusicDay and #FirstDayOfSummer.

Today I was brought to this space just to REMIND myself and to let you know; I love my dad (most), music and longest day (equally) ;) Today, I am here in different place watching different people around… Just a minute ago,  I was lost in thought, (Why do some (not all) people with money think they are better than others? What gives them the right to be so rude? To look down on us common folk and sneer?) haha that’s what I was pondering , forget it..That’s their lives, let them live the way they are. :P.

To tell you the truth, I got an appointment and I have to be in attendance right at 9:00 am tomorrow. I hope I will have a good result… Hoping for the best .

I was travelled by the bus, seated in the last corner by the window side. I always try for the window whenever I travel still because most of the time I get nausea and I never reach my destination without puking once(not now, still fear of it and it will bring me huge embarrassment) For the very reason I had developed a very bad habit of staying mute throughout the day whenever I travel. I always compelled myself to sleep the whole day and somehow get to it. So, I thought today day is no exception. But it all turned out to be different. My seat partner wanted to talk. I didn’t feel the need to talk though. But I thought I can’t be that cruel to the stranger. So, I gave a try. He introduced himself and I did my part. He seemed to be in his mid thirties. He had a slim body but the hands and legs seemed tough and sturdy. He wore a bunch of scattered beard. His weary face seemed to say something. And it seemed that life have given him so much of experiences that he just couldn’t handle it sometimes. 

He talked of his school days. I listen to others more than taking. I am neither talkative nor gloomy but I am very good listener LOLx :P ;)

He might have thought I am interested in his story, amama he talked, excitedly. I wished I can be away from his story and put on my microphone and listen to a very good music, but he never gave me a chance to do that. Ahh finally, a ringtone in his phone(wistle, as he is carrying a brand Samsung) finally he was busy on his phone and I could quickly  swap  on music(I was selfish L) Yes I did it! I was listening to“Jeena Jeena” though old song but lately became favorite as this song really connects me to my life. Today is World Music Day and for today, I have choosen JEEna-Jeena as music for the day. Music has almost been essential in my life. It has been total company ever since I knew the world is quite far from me and healing my pain. I own no good voice but I am a very good bathroom singer LOLx :P. Happy World Music Day… Music heals our inner pain, console and it will assimilate to our real life,..

Thank You Music .Today You Stand As My World. My dad is the main reason behind to reach me to the world of music, I was gifted a MP3 and digital radio when I was in class eleven. Since then music became my world. Truly, I don’t watch movies, I spent maximum of my time listening to music. 

Want to know why I keep on writing nonsense?

Because my dad always told me that I had talent, even when I didn’t.

Want to know why I keep my head high even I fail?

Because I had understood the real meaning of failure from my dad, my dad always said, ‘Try for the second chance. I am proud of you’ even when I failed.

Baba for all those good reasons, for all those sacrifices you have made, for all your love and concern, I love you more today. I will Always remember, no matter where I am or how old I get, I will always love you and I will always be your princess and little girl forever <3

Happy Fathers Day, to my daddy (baba) and all the fathers of the world. ;)

It says summer solstice is the longest day but for me today it’s too short. It’s already an hour of darkness when I make a post.

Anyways, Happy Summer To All My Dear Readers…

Thanks For Being With Me Again J

Love You All…

Good Night ;)

Moving Down To The Memory Lane Of My Life...

Ah ! When I was a child the world seemed to be a place of joy and happiness to me. Whenever I cried somebody picked me up. When I did not like to sit alone, I was always in somebody's arms. Truly, childhood is free from cares. There are no duties and responsibilities on the shoulders of a child. Even when someone dies in the family, a child is not touched. Last time I met with the status updated by  Tashi Namgay Kidney, ‘Few

hours before..My daughter asked me a question over phone call. "Apa...When are you coming?". I told her "Baby I will come within a week". She is OK with that. She won't know her father is getting cooked with 39 degree celcious here.haha’

A child truly lives in a bliss of ignorance had innocence.

When I was 6 years two months old, I was sent to a small but nice school. Soon I made friends with Tika Maya and few more girls. Even now I clearly remember faces of my school friends and teachers

When I was young I did not like my school teacher

because sometimes they used to beat me. I was severely beaten by our so called school captain, just because I didn’t pick up the paper. I lost interest in going to school because I was bullied by elder in the school. It is good that the system of beating and bullying is abolished now. We had to go to school early in the morning. In the beginning, like most girls, I was unwilling to get up early in the morning and go to school. Mom promised me to give few ngultrums every day (Ngultrum is a Bhutanese currency), what I used to buy was either the sticker or balloon. My dad after his resignation from job, he started working in the local government. So, during lunch break I always run towards my dad workplace and ask for money. He used to buy me a Parle-G… Which I cannot put an end to Parle-G still because my dad made me to fall in love with it.

Rowdy childhood till college...

As I was interested in my studies I enjoyed going to school. It was in December 17, 1997 was the first day where I could prove myself that I did degree in class PP and I could bring a wide smile in the faces of my parents. I was innocent girl then, I was very small as well…

You know, I truly unloved the people who took over my position. Indra Khatiwara stood first, followed by Mon Bdr Subba and third position is always for me. Later, in class four a girl Called Leki Wangmo came and took over the second position. Though hated her presence but I was helpless L the older I grew the mischievous I became. In the afternoon, we played all sorts of games and pranks in the street, and I always went home late. My father was very firm when it comes to disciplines and time. I always lied to him. I was a liar then. The good point about me was, I never fought with my mates, if elder tries to bully I used to cry but I never fought back, I wish I still accumulate that habit in me…now I am a lady kind of win-win… I have to win, either by combating or by struggling.  Whenever I saw a people passing on the way, I would enlighten them by saying. ‘Tapaikaha janubhako’  May I know where are you going? In a very long polite tune haha, just to gain sympathy :P, some people would offer me with chocolates too :P …

My elder brother who was very naughty, then wiser now, what he will do was, whenever he sees a man walking, he will pull their hat and he would disappear through small lanes… Huge complain will arrive before he reaches home. Father held him firmly by his arm without any say… When father was about to beat him, my mother always came forward to save him. He was always left off with a strong scolding. A father, though loving often strict, but a mother is always tender to her children though she shouts for minute reasons… My mother always saved my brother from the anger of my father. #Haha just a comparison of our characters with my brother when we were young... Now, it’s exclusively opposite between our characters. I used to get angry quicker and I have no patience at all…but my brother he have grown up as a wise man…

Two years back I guess I have shared you about struggle for my primary education. If you didn’t go through it, then please do that.

I gained trust from all my teachers. They would love me a lot. Once Madam Chimmi, who is my root mentor, once collected all the marbles and she asked me to throw in Panakhola(A river b/w my home to school). Sonam Tenzin, my close friend Yeshi’s brother asked that marbles to give him, I didn’t listen to him instead have thrown all the marbles in the river. Later Aucho(referred to elder brother) Sonam Tenzin swam and collected half of the marbles. I thought of reporting back to madam but he consoled me by giving a mango. Corruption here right :P

At the age of mid 13, I left my village school and I was admitted to one of the hospitable boarding school. You know, before admission we were oriented about the rules and regulations of hostels as well as we were given a list of things required as a boarder student. I exactly remember the dress of Daga High School(adhang mathra). They asked us to bring a dress having a red stripes. If we happened to buy a dress colour having a yellow stripes they will not accept, that’ was what I heard during orientation time.  So, we were sent back and they asked us to come back after 5 days.

I did shopping as per their instructions during orientation and I went back to school.

It was an admission time. I was slim petite girl as if I was suffered from marasmus :P. The admission committee made a semicircle with their yellow files in tables. It was my turn then. They asked me to submit my file. I did it. Then, they asked me; weather I am a border or a DAYSCHOLAR… It was a fact that I never heard of terms BOARDER_DAYSCHOLAR…That was truly a new vocabulary for me.

Huge voice rose, ‘Are you a Boarder or a Day scholar?’

I was bemused, I thought they are talking about the DRESS COLOUR :P…

You know how I responded them, :P ’My DRESS COLOUR is red’  :P

Laughter exploded and diffused whole room L

 Rowdy teachers! That’s what I have mumbled. L

They again enquired me weather I am a boarder or a day scholar, until they were saturated with my claptrap-hilarious answer. I regretted by not taking my dress :P haha else I might have convinced them by showing my DRESS COLOUR lolxxx :P.

Next funny incident was happened subsequent day of my admission. You know I kept my hair very long …I was actually a black sheep in school, with only a girl with long hair.

 My class teacher was Greece sir, an Indian teacher. I was called in the office for explanation for keeping my hair long. So, I was accompanied by Tsering Lhamo enthusiastically, and the fact was she came from Jigme Lossel Primary School in Thimphu. They say Thimphu's students are good in English.To prove the fact I have asked her to go with me.

Greece sir yelled,’Wa u Kee ya Hea nong’ (zai, every hairs on my head erected, listening to his manly voice. I bet he uttered words from his nose :P haha kidding aside, he was a good teacher thoughJ)

I knew, he was saying, ‘Why did u keep your hair long?’

That was the expected question, so I was already there with an answer taught by Tshering.

‘If I cut my hair,My hair will be long-si-ling’

 I wanted to say, If I cut my hair,My hair will stand…

Aww,he nearly reached me and smashed :P

He was furious and he called Maam Leki and she civilly asked me in dzongkha where I could clarify her in detail… Haha…

If I keep on wring then it will be a Bible/Mahabharat so, let me stop here. I am not selling a hot air :P. That’s fact about me. I grew in age, worries about my studies and small worldly matters came upon me, so I started thinking about future and I always wanted to become an engineer... I couldn’t catch my dream but I am happy the way I am today... I will also bring you the hilarious story of my hostel life. Please stay tuned with it :P

The memory of these good days makes me happy…

So, jotted down yesterday on gloomy Sunday…

Happy Holiday For My Bhutanese Friends Stay Blessed and  To All My Beautiful Visitors, Stay Safe And Beautiful ForEver J

Love you all for being my constant inspiration ;)
