November morn, I slept until the night became a brand new day. One sleepy head sleeping from a non-romantic bed. November morn can really make me sleep all day. Yayy! Here comes the hardly interesting month again. If I am to describe the days of November, it’s all dark, dreary, gloomy and cold to me. I [...]
I’m sure my family and relatives in Davao have been busy preparing for tomorrow’s highlight of the month. It’s always on the 1st and 2nd of November that we pay a visit to our demised loved ones in the cemetery. I must say I haven’t been with my family on this occasion for eleven years now. But the memories I used to celebrate with [...]
I know that I will not be seeing colourful blooms now that cold seasons hit us again. The flowering bushes will be nothing but dull branches and twigs. I get accustomed to seeing dead-ish trees and plants in winter. And when summer comes I’m flabbergasted when I see flowers of different colours in the streets and [...]
My job requires me to participate in career development trainings and seminars and listen to lectures of competent speakers. Most of the time, I take down notes in my notebook so as not to miss valuable insights. I used to take notes on a piece of paper before but I would lost and completely forget about [...]
I seldom see a white rose in the garden or flower shop that’s why when I saw this one among the other flowers by the road I couldn’t help but to recall the last time I saw one. I remember we had a tree-like plant that bore white rose-like flowers when I was young. We [...]
After relentless days of having crisscross thoughts regarding this blog, I have finally done considering the idea that dawned on me long ago. As I said before, it’s only a slight change in the area of interest. But it’s the same me who rambles on with not-so-sensible allegories. From this time on, I will stick to this inclination and heaven knows when will my [...]
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, [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
