I recently found out from my stock of images that I’ve taken pictures of different churches while on travel and even just going around town. My passion for architectural designs probably encouraged me to shoot whatever that’s standing tall and high, only to realize later that those are churches and not a skyscraper tower. And [...]
I have a feeling that I was born on a Friday, and so it was when I queried about an online calendar that traces back which day of the week fell a certain date. Friday was the day when my parents named me Marlene for some reasons, or it was by chance when they thought that the names of their children [...]
Does anyone checking the attendance of bloggers around? I sure should have a couple of days absences recorded. My workload is stressing me out now that the term is almost at it’s end. Aside from this, the varying weather temperature is also making me tired from the time I wake up in the morning till [...]
The Gothenburg Cathedral-Domkyrkan Inside Domkyrkan I have seen many people, probably tourists, who were taking pictures of this Cathedral. For me, it’s not an eye-catching structure, but just an ordinary church. Then one day I just took myself pictures of the Cathedral, too. It’s because the history that embraces this Cathedral that interests me to [...]
Simonyi’s Skat Ahuh, who doesn’t want cruising? Of course the seasick, but for those who naturally loves the sea can think of a cruise over the Atlantic or somewhere else. While there are cruiser lines that offer the pleasure of traversing the sea from one place to another, there are those who enjoy travelling the [...]
Astrid Lindgren’s World If you’re familiar with the name Astrid Lindgren then you’ve probably read some of her children’s books that’s been translated to different languages. She was loved not only for being a good writer/author but also for her passion for children. According to her, “one doesn’t need to have a child to write [...]
France is one of the most gorgeous countries in the world, with serene countryside, exquisite architecture and cuisine that makes you want to move there. Not everybody visits France for its history, or even because they are visiting a friend though. Some go there for the casinos. Despite the fact that different types of gambling, [...]

Online Catalogues For Easier Shopping
Shopping online is a trending activity in front of the computer. It’s, however, a decisive choice to browse for catalogues online before indulging into excessive shopping. The eckersleys art craft catalogue, for instance, gives an overview of the products for art and craft enthusiasts.
Quite a late post about the start of Advent observation here but it has just started and just one of the four candles has been lighted. This is one event in this country that I don’t want to miss. Each year I spend time preparing my place for Advent. My kitchen window will always look [...]
To be honest, I hadn’t eaten these small, bite-sized dessert until a few months ago when we entered our room at Sheraton Hotel in Stockholm. I didn’t even know it was called French Macarons. I learned the name on Pinterest when I saw some pinned photos which I thought kind of well-known to me. I thought they’re just plain cookies but when I [...]
Decorative Pumpkins for Halloween
Halloween is just around the corner and some children can’t really wait to dress up scary. I always prepare goodies and candies just in case they come to ring the doorbell and rant “trick or treat?” in chorus. I’m not used to decorating my home for halloween but a tint of orange or yellow as a [...]
It’s my first time to join Vår Ruset yesterday at Slottsskogen (park). It’s a yearly race for women here in Sweden and Gothenburg had its turn yesterday. It happens in the month of May when Spring is at its best. All women at work or in different organizations are welcome to join. Unfortunately, we didn’t get a bit of luck [...]
We thought our final gathering at work this time would be uninteresting since we were told that the administration would not be treating us a free Christmas smorgasbord (julbord). We were instead told to have potluck, which sounded more or less pleasing to everyone. But it turned out to be a smorgasbord (smörgåsbord) of international food culture. From pasta to pirogue, spring rolls [...]

We’ve had to work for three days this week and yesterday, the final day, was a competency development at the Swedish National Museums of World Culture. The [...]
