2nd January!

There is first time to every moment in your life from the day you are born into this crazy, mad and beautiful world. 

So today, as we went out to town, we found this beautiful, cute and little umbrella stocked up at the entrance of the shop. Since, coming week is a rainy week, Bumchu got her first umbrella. 

My First Dora Umbrella :)

I love it

I feel a sense of pride as I see her become independent and learn to do things on her own. 

First blog, 2016

Wow, this feels strange! (In a good way). I am finally back to blog after a long break of 10 months period. I missed blogging. Well, my daughter is an excuse for not blogging because I don't have time to write. I am tiny bit guilty because it is not the whole truth. I have been slacking on it and most of the time, procrastinating. 

But today is not an excuse for me not to blog. This is what special day like first day of the new year do to you-that vibe of really wanting to do it and not be disappointed later on.  The first day of the year is just puuurrrr-fect!!! 

Anyway,back to my blog, the past few years has been an roller coaster ride for me; emotionally, mentally and physically. I am sure, as I blog, I will be sharing a lot about it.  

I am so blessed to be a mother to my precious girl, who turned two on 16th December, 2015. I cannot imagine my world without her. At present, my world is- if my daughter is happy, I am ten folds time happier for both of us.

As blessings come, so do disappointments. There are trials and rewards throughout everyone's life. It was no different to me. 

There wouldn't be light without darkness. As I surpassed through difficult times, I have also met wonderful people in my life who helped me get back to my feet.

For me, year 2015 has been an awesome journey of learning, discovering and growing up as an individual and most importantly as a mother.

Not to forget, I am thankful for my awesome friends for lending me their listening years,  supporting me through thick and thin.

Year 2015 hasn't been the most happiest one but it was not the worst as well.

I hope, you all had a wonderful New Year's Eve! 

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE READING THIS! WITH BEST WISHES!

Tell a Tale? (Part 1)

  

Stranger to Love?
No more strange!

The night was young, loud and exhilarating!

A happy young man pursued a girl

He said, “Can we see each other again?”

Her heart was youthful and innocent

She said, “Yes, we can try”

Left the floor hoping to see him again.

The day was calm, friendly and peaceful

He sent a lovely message

It read, “I really like you and want to know you more”

Her heart was confused but happy

She replied, “________________?"
Put off the phone to let it be.

The day was promising and convincing

He reached out to see her

He said, “I Love You ”
Her heart was hesitant and cautious

She answered, “I will think about it”

Departed to respond to him later.

The day was sensational and extraordinary

He came to see her again,

He said, “I can’t stop thinking about you”
Her heart was willing and loving

She whispered, “Yes, I Love you too”

Stayed to pass the day with him

So began the tale of young girl and a boy.

The Year That Was

The end of year 2013 marks the beginning of my amazing journey to Motherhood. My darling daughter was born on 16th December 2013 at 11:03pm, a 2.9 kg.
I am writing this blog after 1 year and I still can’t express how great the emotions of excitement, gratitude, fear, stress, and happiness is now.

1 month old

I am officially a mother (Remembering the time when I couldn’t come to terms with this term, “mother”) Funny! ☺

The most amazing journey of my daughter’s first year of life was how much she accomplished in so little time. She went from exclusive breastfeeding to eating adult meal, of course without chilli.
She had an extensive vocabulary at 8 months that she was able to read along with me.
Whenever I read her favourite story book, "New Shoes", she would just calm down. Even to now, she is the same. Now that I have memorised the story, she loves to listen to me telling the story before bedtime, to be specific.

The place where she learned to stand up

Her all time Fav Musical Toy Walker

She tested every limit she encountered.
From 7 months, her wild and super funny personality emerged. She started to nod her head up and down when asked, stomped her feet and clapped her hand. Thanks to her favorite toy that she played so repeatedly and eventually got into her head. Now, she will not stop until someone sees her doing it.

On her 1st Birthday
16/12/2014

Thankfully, being a mother got easier as days went on. I learned to stop second guessing myself about everything. Most of all, I learned to trust my instincts.
I want to thank my daughter for making the person I am today. Without her, my life is literally going to be empty.  In her, I put my faith, my love, my strength, and my life to make her feel safe and happy.

Happy 2nd Valentine's Day My Baby Girl, Daisy Choetsho Drolma!!! I Love You Unconditionally!

p,s, Thank you Passu Sir for nominating me or should I say, for missing me here at the blog?! :)

Thank you my other good friends for checking out on me. You guys rock. Happy Valentine's Day Everyone. Spread the Love!!!

HELLO, I AM BACK

Hello everyone who are currently reading this blog. I have been away from this site for a very long time. I have missed updates from all the bloggers I follow and I am hoping, I haven't missed much as I am on facebook constantly seeing updates which is good :)

So much has happened in my life and I am looking forward to sharing everything in my blog.
In addition to this, I probably will be blogging on "Life in Australia" from my point of view. I am excited!


Have a good day Everyone!
Next post, coming very soon :D

Days After Losar

At this moment, time is all mine. I have so many things to commit to and fulfil them. As a saying goes, “Time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself”. I am determined to use my days wisely as much as I could.

I have been doing quite a lot of thinking about my life; where is it going? Where will it go? What has life stored in for me? Blah blah blah. All I know is Life can change in a blink of an eye as tomorrow is promised to no one. You never know what will happen tomorrow.

Life is a battle. I have learned the hard way about my life. It is troublesome but it is fun. You know it, once you start to grow up. I mean, once you begin to realise that growing up is not easy and what you once fantasized about grown-ups as smart and independent is a Farce. It takes time and hard work to earn it and live a normal life.

The weather, as we all know is an unpredictable one, everywhere I go, and I have to be ready with umbrella. If it was hot, I have no choice but to seek shelter under the shade wherever possible. This time, I didn’t want to bring on freckles.
The fact that I have to attend numerous appointments and travel to Sydney, it makes all the sense to get a UV Protection Sunscreen. It is Pricy. Sometimes it makes me angry that humans have so many flaws that need to be looked after. Sigh!

I have learned that life is all about taking risk, making memories and cherishing it. Life is about the choices we make; the good, the bad, the easy and the hard, so no matter what the choice is you have to make sure you can live with it. Sometimes I wonder what if life was just a fairy tale, you can cover up the error in your life by magic.

I wish and hope the Comings days will be a blessed one.


p,s, When things happen that’s out of your control, you can’t help but THINK!

Celebrating the New Year 2014

What a perfect day to start writing on my blog. Today's Buddhist New Year is a special day for all the Bhutanese people. This is the time where families and friends gather to celebrate the day by eating delicious meal, drinking and playing games.

Losar as we call it , is mostly observed at home with families and friends. Some go to temple for prayers on this occasion while some go out with friends as an additional fun on Losar. Correct me if I am wrong, men go out to play Archery on Losar to mark the day.

I probably am missing quite a lot of fun there in Bhutan. Howsoever, we had a small gathering at one of Ph.D families house. We say that if there is something/someone missing in your life, there is always another person that fills up the gap. So yeah, the small Wollongong family filled my day.

The days went by with each one of us preparing a different curry for lunch. Man of the house cooked mushroom with Datsi and soup. A guy friend prepared Ezay for Momo that was already cooked on the previous day. Another friend cooked fried beef with Sag. Lastly, I had my task cooking Chicken. I must say, all the curries were delicious. The smell of the curries was taking me to heaven because the chilli was from Bhutan. The aroma of Chilli is different. I like Bhutan's chilli :)

Well, we didn't really have anything planned for the day except for going to Mt. Keira (Wollongong). Actually, our plan to go to Mt. Keira for Picnic was ruined because of the rain. Although, we made it there after the sky got cleared. Lucky eh!


Well, this year's Losar is a celebration of remembrance and renewal for me. I have been away from my home country for almost two and half years now. I have missed my friends who left to Bhutan and who are in Bhutan. Now with new friends, it is just another moment to share my Losar with. This is just the beginning of another year and I shall have many more years to celebrate the day.

HAPPY LOSAR. I hope everyone had a wonderful and a memorable one.
