It was in the newspaper a few days ago that a food processor was among the list of not-so-popular must have home companions. I wasn’t surprised to learn this fact because I, myself, have been thinking to purchase a food processor and yet I haven’t own one. It’s not a thing that I remember dearly when I visit the [...]
I wish I had “walis” (broom) to easily sweep my floor everytime I needed. The vacuum cleaner I have is quite robust and it’s a hassle taking it and putting it back in the storage. When I saw this handheld vacuum cleaner I didn’t thought I would be needing it but…
Laptops are still an indispensable computing machine for many of us. We see enhanced functionalities of some laptops every now and then and this makes us want to try one after the other. It’s quite costly for some but if there’s a so-called rent laptop option before buying it’s good value and it helps us in our choice.
Can you see dusts on this Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate box? It’s because it has been lying on the shelf for, say, about a year now. This means we’re still running Windows XP Pro in our computers. But this will be over soon. Hubby builds our PC’s which is an advantage because he can always choose the components that he thinks are better [...]
Who would expect that a television would be highly improved these days. It seems that a flat plasma, LCD or LED are not enough improvement. And it seems that a personal computer is not enough to cater the demands of virtual socializing. If mobile phones have gone smarter, so are the televisions. You connect to social media on [...]
I was browsing my pictures folder to look for the barbecue photos I took a week ago. I didn’t find them so I thought they’re still on the camera. I was closing the folder when my eyes got stuck on the photos I took of the royal wedding on tv. I didn’t take many pictures of [...]

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 [...]
