It was quite hard for me to tell what it really was then I noticed the piece of info down there. I tried to zoom it out hoping to see what was written about it. Degelugn? What is it? The word is Swedish but even the translation crucible furnace seemed unfamiliar to me. I saw [...]
I wished I could take a break from teaching without compromising my job as a teacher. You might be wondering how on earth could I do it. To quit working would be the only way to make my wish would come true. But it was not the way. Part of my job is tutoring or [...]
This may not be the first chandelier ever made but it certainly belongs to the past centuries home light fixtures. It was fascinating to see this old chandelier at Torpa Stenhus during our teachers’ trip last year. It seemed to me that it had real candles as lights before but they were replaced by electrical ones later, [...]
I had the opportunity to visit this secluded and somewhat uninhabited island on one of our teachers’ trips. It used to be a quarantine place in the 1700′s when epidemics had reached the country. I can’t tell much about the history of the island but what I saw was enough to convince me that it [...]
It’s always hard to go back to work after a long summer break. Though one feels rested and recharged, it’s however, a heavy task to start working again. Anyhow, it’s also encouraging that my job always commence with mind and body programs like workshops and social activities. I always look forward to our small trips, which includes plays [...]
This is the kind of a place where I want to be now. Though not in this cold country but in a warmer climate like my hometown, Davao. All I know is that a cottage like this is built for use in the tropics but I was overjoyed when I saw this past summer in Ulricehamn on [...]
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, [...]

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 [...]
Revisiting National Museums of World Culture
This autumn break has been relaxing for me despite the paperworks I’ve needed to be done. But that’s the life of a teacher – working a little on school breaks. 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 [...]
