2dae's TLL class was like quite informative n funny at sme parts. 1stly, the tchr told us abt her trip to Nepal. accrding to her, when she told her othr class, one guy asked her, "Nepal? How do you spell it? N-I-P-P-L-E?" GEP smemore. amazing. -.-" anyways, she told us abt the ppl in Nepal n everything (well, almost.) Nepal ppl are mainly of 2 religions, Tibetan buddhism n Hinduism. (blah, blah, blah. nt tt religion isn't important, but u guys wld probably fall asleep reading tis if i went into detail.) anyways, the higher ranked Tibetan buddhist monks r called 'lamas'. we all were like, "llamas?" then we cracked up laffing. then the tchr was like, "no, nt llamas, as in the animal! they're ppl!" anyways, buddhists blief tt when u die, u get reincarnated. n accrding to the tchr, the Tibetan buddhist blieve tt their 'lamas' will also get reincarnated so when the 'lamas' think they're abt to die, they will leave clues for their diciples to find their reincarnated selves. then, one of the gals asked, "but wat if 12 yrs ltr they still cannot find the reincarnation?" "they will continue searching," my tchr ansed. one of the guys in my class heard n went, "waa... the disciples so rich... can fly all over the world just to look for their master..." then we all started laughing again. tchr oso showed us a pic of a guy hu nv bathes or cuts his hair. accrding to her, he reeks. but its for sme religion purposes. then she told us abt sme child goddess. (no typo ther) they find her at the age of 3, aftr the previous child goddess has reached the puberty stage. in othr words, they will go to a specific village look at all the 3 yr old gals. let's sae tt 10 gals fit the (very strict n specific) mesurements, they will b taken into a dark room wif scary masks all around. which ever gal, when she cmes out, shows the least trace of fear will b the goddess. being a child goddess, tt gal cannot touch the floor. she is carried around n, like a usual god or goddess, does nth but getting worshipped. sounds like a pretty gd way to live rite? but when the gal reaches puberty, they will marry her off to a fruit. yes, a fruit. ("i now name u fruit n wife," quoted frm one of my tchrs othr class students.) god, its gonna b hard 4 the gal to adapt aftr all tt pampering n worshipping. after all tt Nepal tok, we finally went on to compre. it was on cosmetics. -.-" accrding to the tchr, even men go 4 cosmetic surgery to make their biceps bigger or sth like tt. (sillicon implants for men? 0.o) then we had to read on this french graffiti artist, Fafi, n her collaboration wif MAC cosmetics. i looked up the Fafinettes on the net, n they actually look kinda cute. sian... rayy nt on9... n when i nid her the most smemore... |
