As usual, I like to share inspiring stories with you guys from amazing people around the world. Our guest in this edition is no exception to the rule. She has the brains to back up her beauty.

                                             Who is Farisha Tjin A Sjoe?

"Miss Tropical Beauty Suriname 2019"
'If your mental state is good, your life will be better.'

" My name is Farisha Tjin A Sjoe, I was born on the 17th of June 1999 and I am now 20 years old. My parents have 2 children, my little brother and me. I study medicine on FMeW ( Faculiteit der Medische Wetenschappen, a medical wing of the only university in Suriname).  My talents are the basics of dancing and singing. Only now do I dance more and sing less. In my free time, I have been dancing for the Mystikalz (Famous Surinamese dance group) for 2-3 years. I do this because it makes me feel like I could be any and everyone I want to be. Another interest of mine is Transcendental meditation, something I have learned from my father. Now my journey to become Miss Tropical Beauties Suriname started when I was checking my e-mail one day and I saw a message with the subject 'Tropical beauties Suriname'. At first, I was shocked and I thought that it was sent to the wrong person. After I saw that the e-mail was from Jermain Tjin A Koeng, I knew this was serious. For my bad luck, I had seen the e-mail exactly one day before the audition and I started to panic. I asked my mother, my father, my little brother, and everyone I knew for advice. I decided to visit the auditions because that doesn't exactly mean that you are participating. I went the following day with the only pair of heels that I owned. After I met the girls who were there to audition, I started to feel more comfortable. I decided to go through this process because it seemed to be more of personal development than only learning how to walk the catwalk and how to do some posses."  Before you knew it, Farisha Tjin A Sjoe started her journey to become the next Miss Tropical Beauties Suriname.



                        Becoming Miss Tropical Beauties Suriname 2019.

'Every individual can make a difference'


" What motivated me to keep going is the other girls, even though they don't know that. It's an experience you don't go through alone. This makes certain bumps down the road easier to cross. There is a relating factor among us that kept me motivated. I couldn't let the girls down, because, in the end, you represent a group. Throughout the entire experience, I landed in situations that I never thought of. I had to make decisions that I never thought I would have to make in my life. It was a process where I met the deepest part inside of me and I will always take that with me for the rest of my life.  I was constantly pushed out of my comfort zone, so it was a process of growth and when that happens it's a whole new world. I ended up learning a lot from it, but the most important thing that I will always take with me is that you have to be able to forgive yourself. If you don't you won't be able to move on in life. For me being the new Miss Tropical Beauties Suriname means to be myself, it's only a title. But the person carrying that title adds worth to it. It's a great honor to be Miss Tropical Beauties Suriname and of course, now I have certain responsibilities. Every individual can make a difference and with the title, I now have a platform. With the platform I as an individual and Miss can make a difference as well, that is what it means to me. As the new Miss Tropical Beauty Suriname, I want to focus on mental health awareness. I think that that is the basis for everything in life, if your mental state is good your life will be better and the world will be at its best. These days a lot of people have to deal with depression. I used to be depressed myself, but I managed to get out of it by talking a lot and meditating. This is the reason why I want to bring more focus on meditation within our society.  And of course next year I have the task to represent Suriname during the Miss Supranational elections 2020." 



" Farisha Tjin A Sjoe"
'You have to be able to forgive yourself, if you don't you won't be able to move on in life!'
I wanted to know what some of the wonderful moments were that Farisha Tjin A Sjoe experienced during the Tropical Beauties Suriname pageant. 
" There were moments where we just acted crazy and made a lot of jokes together. So much that my stomach would hurt me and I would tear up from laughing. During our photoshoot days, we did mini playback shows because the stylist had his music on really loud. During the training some of the contestants were absent and we as girls had to substitute for the boys in the Gala and swimwear rehearsals, sometimes the boys would also substitute for the girls. There have been so many fun and beautiful moments that I take with me. I have also received support from my parents, they took everything into account and were really patient. My boyfriend also stood by me and I am thankful to him for everything. My friends showed a lot of support and patience. While undergoing this process I was really busy because I had school as well. This made me feel like I wasn't giving my loved ones enough attention. But they were very understanding and gave me the time I needed, I could not have asked for a better circle! I want to tell young ladies that as young women we often have a lot of restrictions. But I want to tell you that as a young woman you can do everything you set your mind to. Don't let anyone convince you that you can't do something. As long as it makes you happy and you aren't hurting anyone you just have to go for it. The power of the female is the fact that we are female.



'The power of the female is the fact that we are female'
There are no specific things that one has to take in mind if you want to become the next Miss Tropical Beauties Suriname. You just have to be open to growing and learning. Everyone experiences their own personal growth. That is also the reason why anyone can participate, except for some standard rules like length, not being married, etc." I asked Farisha Tjin A Sjoe if she had any idea that she would win? 
" Of course not, I came inside and was quickly intimidated by the other beauties. The moment I stepped in the person I knew best was myself, I didn't get to know the others yet. So It didn't have any idea that I would be able to win, because you don't know what the other contestants have or what the people want in a Miss."  Farisha Tjin A Sjoe, what is Fashion for you, and how important is the role of fashion in the Miss Tropical Beauties elections?
" Fashion is art, it's a way to express yourself and everyone can and may express themselves. The role of a Miss in fashion is to express herself because that is the most important thing she has to do. Of course, there are trends, but a trend is a temporary fashion is eternal. My favorite outfit that I wore during the Miss Tropical Beauties Suriname 2019 elections is the blue mermaid dress that I wore during the Gala round. If I had to chose that dress for myself I wouldn't pick it out because I don't like mermaid dresses that much. But when I wore it, I got another feeling from the dress. I felt like a Disney princess." What were the emotions going through you when you found out that you won The Miss Tropical Beauties contest?
" A thankful feeling, at first my head was empty! I didn't know what I was feeling or how I was supposed to feel after that I closed my eyes and thanked the universe for this achievement"


You guys read it right here on www.storytimearoundtheworld.com, I am looking forward to more of this interesting young lady. With her unique perspectives on life and the journey, she has been on she fits the charm of Miss Tropical Beauties Suriname 2019.  I wish her the best of luck in representing us next year during the Miss Supranational elections 2020.

Paint Shopping And Food Stop At Warung Resa

 Paint Shopping And Food Stop At Warung Resa Hello Story Time friends, welcome back! I'm taking you along on another vlog. This video was made on a hectic day. I split the content of my adventures into different parts. So make sure you subscribe and stay tuned. There are a lot of stories that I still have to finish. I wish I had more time for my creative projects. But with my lifestyle in Suriname that is not realistic! Anyway, we're going paint shopping in different stores. I visited HJ De Vries, Malhoe's Building Materials, and a Historex retailer. When we were done combing through stores for our project, I was hungry and tired! So we decided to go to Warung Resa. Their Javanese food reminds me of my late grandmother's and aunt's cooking. It's flavorful and authentic. We had the Gudanang and the Long Tong Tahoe. Both are traditional dishes in Javanese culture. Long Tong Tahoe is made with bean sprouts, Tahoe, and chicken. It's then drizzled with a spicy

Green Key Expo At Torarica

 Green Awareness Expo At Torarica Hola mi amigos welcome back to a new Story Time adventure! There is a vibrant city in the beating heart of the Amazon rainforest! This city is rich with multi-ethnic culture and flavorful food. Of course, I am talking about Paramaribo. Living in the Amazon Rainforest, we're surrounded by greenery. But these parts of the Amazon Rainforest haven't been unaffected by global warming. The recent droughts where multiple rivers and creeks were empty is an example. The gold mining and wood exploitation that happens in our jungles is affecting the beauty of our land. Protecting the Amazon Rainforest means protecting the lungs of the world. Green awareness is a topic that's often mentioned in this part of the world. Hotel Torarica organized a Green Key fair and of course, I had to visit! Now I can finally share the Story with you guys! Creating these Story Time episodes takes a lot of work. So I'd appreciate it if you subscribe and join our tri

Shadows Of Love

 Shadows Of Love Sometimes you must shuffle the deck a few times to be dealt the right hand. And sometimes you meet that King Of Hearts in the first move that the game will demand. In the shadows of love, there are many secrets hidden. Something about you felt familiar, calm, and at the same time forbidden. I wonder what the universe was conspiring when our paths crossed. From a distance, I felt your eyes capture my soul. Maybe this is a story that should never be told! But they say that if you want to enter the paradise of lovers you have to pay the toll! A friend once asked me a question, he said: " What is it you are looking for now that we are getting old?". I told him I wanted someone who could spark my mind, soul, and maybe my inner sexual being. After he exposed the beauty hidden in my poetry, thoughts kept flirting with this hidden feeling. Sometimes we need the right people to ask us the right questions! But sometimes when the ones we hide in our hearts want to kno

Lunch At Hotel Torarica

 Lunch At Hotel Torarica Hello friends, as you noticed, the Story Time U.F.O. hasn't taken off from Torarica yet! When we finished checking in at Royal Torarica we were hungry! It's good that we were only a short walk from Torarica. Through the backyard of Royal Torarica, we found our way into the restaurant of Hotel Torarica. We sat in their dining room and ordered food from their menu. In my vlog, you will see the food items and prices listed on Hotel Torarica's menu. I had some chicken with corn. My plate was filled with greens and even had a chicken sate included. It was delicious! But my favorite had to be the truffle wedges! If you are visiting Hotel Torarica, I'd definitely recommend trying it! They are topped with parmesan cheese. A simple but buttery and flavorful dish. Stew ordered a fish dish that came with watermelon. It was relaxing to have dinner in the backyard of Torarica. We could hear the birds chirping and some birds even landed on our tables. But k

Story time with Donovan Dongo, Dongo brothers selected for W.W.E

   Storytime with Donovan Dongo, Dongo Brothers selected  The Dongo brothers holding the Surinamese flag in front of the  W.W.E performance center in America. Today I have some good news for the people of Suriname. I know I am a bit late with this story, but what can I say. I have been having problems with my Internet provider for a while now.  If you live in Suriname, you probably can relate. But on with Storytime, today we are going to talk about the Dongo brothers.  These guys have proven that dreams do come true, with a lot of hard work and effort.  The World Wrestling Entertainment (W.W.E) has selected Donovan and Leandro Dongo to represent Suriname. They made it past their last tryouts and were selected out of 30.000 applicants. The Dongo brothers have proven what they are made of, but they have also put Suriname on the world map when it comes to wrestling entertainment.  Donovan Dongo shares his experiences with Storytime in a video he recorded. But since I have a

Blogger notes: Happy new year! Storytime in 2022

Happy new year, Storytime in 2022 Hi guys, I want to wish all of you a happy new year. I am learning to stay positive no matter the circumstances. Throughout the years I have become a professional at it. The weird thing is, the better I get at it the better my skills become. I have to say I am proud of myself for getting through last year. There were some painful lessons, as usual. I have come to learn that they are a part of the journey that helps me build my successes. The more I embraced positivity the less my anxiety became.  Anxiety can be a messed-up demon, but the warrior in me kind of grew tired of it and decided to stab it. That's the problem when you know how strong you are.  The only thing is, I just wasn't in a hurry to grow up. Especially if you grew up in the public eye like I did. But I have no regrets. Because each step that I made in life also led me to beautiful people and beautiful experiences. The more content I feel with my life, the more my inn
