  • Round Two

    I never thought that I would experience pregnancy again. That’s why I believed that I was just sick during the past few months. I was surprised and shocked when the urinalysis results came back positive- and even more shocked during the first ultrasound appointment with the midwife. The fetus was already big! I was already…

  • From C-Scare to Shock

    From C-Scare to Shock

    After months of hiatus, I’m finally back! Despite my hectic work schedule, numerous doctor visits, and a couple of trips to the ER, I’m doing completely fine—and I’m truly grateful for that. However, before things returned to normal, I became sick, burned out, and lethargic. Despite my efforts to exercise and regain my health and…

  • Thank You!

    Thank You!

    Over the past few weeks, I’ve been receiving compliments and positive feedback at work, and I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge them. As I’ve mentioned before, working with people is never easy because we all have different personalities. There are times when certain individuals can get on your nerves, and at moments,…

  • In a Battle

    In a Battle

    I am well-armed today, fully equipped in my woolen attire from head to toe. No, not for that battle-but for the battle against flu. I’ve been sick and practically tied to the sofa since the weekend, and I can feel the symptoms worsening today. It’s unfortunate, especially since I’m starting to get bored. But what…

  • Two days. Two nights.

    Two days. Two nights.

    A couple of weeks ago, I won a raffle from Fjordline and received a free round-trip cruise between Bergen and Hirtshals. Although I’ve taken this cruise before, I decided to go again. Besides, my little one had never been on a cruise, so I thought it would be nice for her to experience it. The…

  • Clear Weather

    Clear Weather

    What is your favorite type of weather? The timing is perfect for our cabin trip to Kvamskogen this weekend! The weather looks great—clear skies and sunshine. Kvamskogen is just an hour’s drive from Bergen and is popular among those who love cross-country and slalom skiing. It’s also one of the favorite cabin trip destinations for…

  • Winter Break 2025

    Winter Break 2025

    Nothing fancy about this year’s winter break, but we’re grateful to see family again and escape the hustle of city life. The ice appeared thin, but it was stronger than it looked. Small catamaran boats couldn’t pass through it without risking damage to their aluminum surface. We visited the cemetery, and I learned that in…

  • What’s the occasion?

    What’s the occasion?

    What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain. I hate it when people ask what or who the reason is for wearing makeup or simply looking good. Can’t we just normalize giving a compliment without asking someone why they are well-dressed or looking bright today? It annoys me a lot whenever someone comments…

  • Braking Bad

    If there is one thing that every car owner should know aside from changing tires, it is changing the brakes. In my opinion, it is a very useful skill in life and it is also cheaper than sending the car to the workshop. For two weeks ago, I had to change the break pads and…

  • Christmas 2024

    Christmas 2024

    For the first time, we’ve celebrated Christmas at home. Every year we used to be with the other members of the family during Christmas Eve. Since it’s just us, we had totally controll of our time and we could decide what to eat on Christmas Eve. The preparation took time as this was my first…

  • Pasta from Scratch!

    Pasta from Scratch!

    What skills or lessons have you learned recently? One of the most staple food in the house is pasta. I think there are no days in a week where we don’t eat pasta. We love pasta! Everbody loves pasta! At home, we always try our best to make healthy meals and homemade as much as…
