  • Knock, Knock!

    Knock, Knock!

    My life had been a roller coaster ride during the first two months this year. I felt hopeless, insecure and unsure about my future and career as the unemployment rate increases. However, I did not give up. I searched for jobs and have been an active volunteer near my place. I also talked to my…

    Spearmint Green Tea

    Last week I went to an interview for one of the companies that I have applied for. The deal was to meet the interviewer at a restaurant at 6:15 pm but then suddenly she sent me a message that she would be an hour late. I said it is alright I can wait. I was…

    No Shortcuts. Just Fun.

    Zorro and I hiked Fløyen yesterday. This was not our first time together at Fløyen. We were there around 2 years ago. This time we did not take the funicular to the top. We hiked. The path is not hard to find, it is just on the left side of the entrance. We left the…

  • Bright and Cold

    The snow is back after two weeks of storm and mild weather. I am also grateful that it is getting brighter again. My mood is starting to get better and I am motivated to try something new when it comes to jobs. The economic crisis is not yet over. Yesterday, one of the biggest banks…

  • Girl’s Handball

    Last Sunday, I was invited by my friend to watch a handball match near where I live. By the time I arrived the second match was about to start. I was only there for 15 minutes because I was going to see the Star Wars movie too. I find it fun to watch. I enjoy…

  • A Monochrome Kind of Day

    Mornings could be a tough time of the day to wake up and stay awake. I admit that I find it hard to be a morning person. Like today, I was dead tired this morning. I could of course have some cup of coffee but that would upset my stomach so I opened the door…

  • New Home

    It is official. I have finally moved to Bergen! New home. New city. New opportunities. However it does not mean that I am saying goodbye to Stavanger for good. My family and friends live there and there are some places that I have never been to but would love to see/visit. The place that I…

  • The Gingerbread Town of Bergen

    One of the coolest things that I’ve ever seen this year is Bergen’s Gingerbread Town. I’ve never thought that this gingerbread town is the biggest in the whole world! I can say that I’m impressed by the different kinds of structures that they built out of gingerbread. These were built by kids, bankers and people…

  • A Perfect Friday Night

    For some, a perfect Friday night mean going to parties but for me it is sharing a pot of tea and a carrot cake with my other half.

  • Struggles of Having a Dog at Home Part 2: Your dog can take over your couch.

    Zita will be staying here with us for a couple of weeks. She came here yesterday and was happy to see her bf Zorro again. She’s a gentle and good dog and also loud because she barks quite a lot. Anyway, I took this shot of her this morning before I had my breakfast. I…

  • A Sunny Autumn Day

    Autumn is the perfect time of the year for me when it comes to shooting outdoors, going for random hikes (short walks) and sightseeing. The weather is just right (Not too hot and not too cold.) and autumn colors are just magnificent. Today was rather a tiring day for me despite the day off from…
