100 things I ❤ - 2

11. Manicure- I love "painting" my nails with different colours and different designs (if only I could make it look sophisticated). As an amateur in everything I do, I make simple designs that is enough to make me satisfied and happy. You can do the manicure trick with Barbie pins and a toothpick :)

12. Dried Beef- I love it. It is my favourite of all the meat I eat. Just for the information, I eat Chicken and Beef only. Down below is my beef under the process of drying it out. It came out nice and delicious. I missed Bhutan then. Anyways, whatever you do, there is always a reminder, a small tiny-tinny reminder making me miss home.

13. A baby and a puppy- I love to watch them spending their time together-connecting so beautifully without a single trouble of fear between the two. It is incredible and it is totally mesmerising.

14. Accessories - ear-rings, bracelets, necklaces (I like it simple and casual)

15. Reading Freudian Theory- I am a great believer in Freudian

16. Ice- I have a weakness for it.

17. Watch Fashion TV- Miranda Kerr and Montana Cox are my faves. And there are couple of designers that I adore.

18. Listening to Music

19.Playing Dress ups- There is an overwhelming feeling in it. Just take out all the clothes you have and start styling up the way you like. It is so much fun and I do that with my Roomie for fun... :)

20. Volunteering- I love doing a group campaign or any volunteer that comes my way. It teaches me so many things that I didn't know I could and I am glad to be part of International Student Volunteering Program at UOW.

Bloggers Meet Conference

Once more, as initiated by Rekha Monger on Bloggers Tag, I have my Questions answered.
I have added one set of question at the end.

Q: Why did you start blogging in the first place? And what’s the story behind your blog title?
I like sharing about what’s going around me and the blogging has allowed me to just do that. I don’t have a grand story behind my blog title, “Hear my Voice”. Since most of my articles are my own expression, I thought I am writing a piece that is of my understanding of the world and it is how it is.

Q: How long have you been blogging? Where are you based?
I created my blog in the year, 2010 (I don’t remember exactly when I started to blog). But like other few bloggers, my blog was never active. After 6 or 7 months or so, I started to learn about blogging online and started to share few of my amateur writings that I previously had it at Nopkin.com. I have been blogging for 2 and a half years now. I am based in Wollongong, Australia.

Q: How do you schedule your blog post? Daily or weekly? Or as and when inspiration strikes you?
Well, I don’t have a fixed plan on updating my blog post. It depends on my mood. Really. It does!
Sometimes, my blog remains empty for a month at the least and I am guilty. So, I come up with something to share ☺

Q: Does your family and friends know about your blog?
Sadly, none of my families know about my blog and not even my friends. I don't really talk to them about my blog. It is between me and my blogger friends.
Some of them know it and they acknowledge about the articles they come across and I like it. I am assuming, those of my friends who own a blog doesn’t want to come out yet.

Q: How happy are you as a Blogger?
Whenever I visit the blogger homepage, I am always over the moon. With so many Bhutanese bloggers around, it keeps me closer to home reading current updates about Bhutan and my blogger's personal activities which I always enjoy reading it. :)

100 things I ❤ - 1

Inspired by Rekha Monger's blog post, I am on my way to exploring some of 100 things I love. I will be posting 10 lists each week and I tell you, I am very excited to explore myself. Here I go;

1. Mom- As Universal and as natural as it is, I love my Mom more than anyone/anything :)

2. Knitting- Very simple ones. So far, I have a collection of Mufflers, caps and headbands. I don't want to say this but I want to share it. Knitting saves you from buying expensive headbands from the stores. It is ridiculously expensive. Whenever I am at the store, I always check the patterns and then later, I knit at home. I am a Happy-go-lucky girl :)

3. Home made Facemask- OMG! I love it. But it is hard to follow regularly and so, sometimes, I forget and it sucks. Anyways, Avocado face mask and Egg white face mask are an absolute genius.

4. Trying out New Shampoo Brands- I love to spoil my hair with different shampoo and conditioners.

5. Watch soap serials- Pretty little Liars. How I met your Mother, Revenge, The vampire Diaries, 2 broke girls and many other. Haha. There is never a free time rather than making yourself free and watch it.

6. Nighties- There is a guilty pleasure in owning nice, cute and sexy nightdresses.

7. Perfumes- No words. I just love collecting new flavours.

8. Smile to a baby- I love kids. So, I do this full of love smile to the random baby I see on the way with their Mom and when they smile back, it just makes my day.

9. Watch the Sunrise and the Sunset- The most soothing Effect.

10. Keep a Diary- or may be a note pad?! It is my favourite and best company. Ever!

Wedding~

This month of June has been a very graceful and an auspicious month for me.
For a very long time, whenever I hear about my friends getting married back in Bhutan and not only this, when I also hear them becoming a mommy, it surprised me to the core. I couldn't digest the fact that "My friends" are now happily married.
These marriages and surprises ended when I got invited for a wedding. Then, I started to believe that life does not remain the same as before and it must go on. May be, I didn't realise that, until now...

8th of July, 2013 will be one of my biggest moment of realisation day. HAH!

In another time, marriage not only happened to enlighten me on life, a special audience by HH Dalai Lama at Sydney opened my eyes to the real World. It was a huge gathering with the people from Tibetan community, Mongolian community and finally, Bhutanese Community here in New South Wales.

As we neared towards the destination, I could hear the noises, a group of people with a banner protesting against HH Dalai Lama's Visit in Sydney and also a protest against HH Dalai Lama to stop influencing people with the Buddhist religion. This World is Real. Whatever I read in News, Whatever I saw in you tubes, on News, Newspapers came alive. Cut this crap, I don't care of the protest.

I felt truly blessed upon seeing HH Dalai Lama and listening to the heavenly voice, giving a talk on Buddhism.
Today, 15th of June, 2013 is definitely a day to remember for life.

Only two occasions! These two occasions made me realise the worth of Life.

Home and Away!!! I miss Bhutan but the experience I am going through at this point of my life is worth a time to be away from home and families.
Waiting!!! I don't know what life has stored in for me!!!

On Motivation to Write

As much as I love to read and write, I tend to procrastinate a lot. For the past few days, I have been encouraging myself to write a poem or an article but ended up logging off reading others oh-so-nicely updated blog.

Getting off your ass and getting things done is not easy and nor will it be. No matter how long you wait for tomorrow, the dirty little secret of a blogger is that we need a little kick in the butt to get us motivated during the day-to-day battles of life. Although, I do keep a personal journal, my daily based life, sometimes, not updating on a blog can be quite awful.

So today, Friday is a virtuous day for me; for the reason that the weekend is near and soon visiting Sydney for an Audience by HH Dalai Lama, I am all excited and feeling a little motivated for some unknown reason.

I came up with a love poem, to which I can’t think of any other poem to start something of my kind; I had a very good time refreshing myself to the extreme of needing to write another one. But I am keeping it to rest as I have an exam coming up in few days.

Like always, I can’t wait to read the new upcoming articles here in the blog. And as said earlier, the blog and the bloggers keep me away from home and close to you all.
Happy Weekends to Everyone! :)

The Couple

The summer of love was beautiful:
Two young lovers, aged 22-26
Journeyed the city of love
With marriage and commitment
Promising never to leave each other again
As second chance in love comes so rarely
Young in love, and pure in heart
Decided to start a fresh beginning:
A new vow, a new joy, a new life
Therefore, with heart to heart,
they vowed to be together
Making up to one another’s choices
And choosing to live a Greater life: full of life
For a loving couple like them,
Who is ready to amend the past
Willing to sacrifice for one another
Saw a greater vision in love
To love again is what measured their strength
Hail to those lovers
Who are back to falling in love
Who are beginning to see the rise of sunshine together
Smile with sleep and wake up in smile
As there is someone close, holding you heart in peace.

In Your Name

Your name is the reminder
I want to forget for life
It’s your name, that’s my enemy:

Your name fetches me love
Your name warms my heart
Your name gives me joy
Your name fills me with laughter
Your name completes me

No matter the pleasant life
I can never forgive myself
For I have lost the man I loved
And the wounds won’t go away
Until your name is off my chest

You are becoming the reason
I want to forget my worthiness
The fact that you are not mine
Is in the name I remember

Of a man I dearly loved
That I cannot love like this again
It’s in a blink of your name
I breathe my love for you

It’s in your name, that’s my enemy
