I’ve always been so musically romantic on Valentine’s Day and I’ve presented some songs that give meaning to the celebration. This time I want to play this song of Whitney Houston not for the sake of the heart’s day but to give tribute to her undying contributions to the music industry. All The Man That I Need is the only music of her [...]
I was ecstatic when I read that Sandra Bullock won the Best Actress in a Leading Role for the 82nd Academy Awards. Her brilliant performance in the movie, “The Blind Side” has given her the best of years in her career. The day before the Oscar’s night she claimed her trophé at the Razzie Awards as the Worst Best Actress for [...]
I just can’t let go believing that one of my favorite actors passed away a few days ago. Patrick Swayze was the most versatile actor I’ve had ever known in terms of dancing, singing and acting. The first film of him I saw was the Ghost which he starred with Demi Moore. Darn, I watched [...]
Yes, yes, yes! I do, I do, I do! I always say ”yes” and ”I do” when Sandra Bullock comes up with a new film. Her charisma is irresistible with her cute but sometimes naughty eyes roll on the big screen. The first movie I saw with her was “While You Were Sleeping” and I became a huge fan after that. And [...]
I can’t wait to watch “Angels and Demons”, a film based on the novel by Dan Brown, the same author of The Da Vinci Code. I’ve been waiting for this after I read the book about a year ago. Today is the premiere showing of the film but I can’t go watch it cos it will [...]
If I had to choose between shopping for clothes and shopping for shoes, I’d choose the former. I admit I don’t like spending too much for shoes than I do with clothes. I also know there are a lot of women who can’t skip a month without having new pair of shoes. But in 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 [...]
