    And just like that

    .. weekend is almost over.

  • Energy Draining

    These past few weeks have been a roller coaster ride for me. I thought that it’s going to be smooth days ahead, but I was wrong. My patience and sanity was put into test! Last Thursday when my shift’s done and was about to drive home, I found one of the tires of my car…

  • Christmas Party and Weekend Staycation

    Christmas Party and Weekend Staycation

    Last weekend was my company’s Christmas party. This is one of the things that I’m grateful for this season. It’s been a hectic start this autumn and winter because of the flu and busy schedule at work and home. No matter how I love my work, I needed a break from it too and of…

  • Weight Lifting

    Weight Lifting

    What is your favorite form of physical exercise? Strength training especially weight lifting is what I do at least twice a week. For me, there’s thrill and excitement in this kind of exercise because it tests not only your physical capability but also your mind power. Then there are times when every thing is smooth…

  • Tables Have Turned

    Tables Have Turned

    For some weeks ago, the EENT (ears, eyes, nose and throat) specialist referred me to an MRI examination of my brain and my temporal bone. It’s because I’ve been  experiencing sudden dizziness/vertigo. The specialist wanted to rule out cancer and other form of diseases in my head because she haven’t seen anything wrong with me…

  • A Colorful Mess

    A Colorful Mess

    I’m sharing some of my 6 year old’s obra maestra. The living room might be “messy” when she’s in her creative bubble and I might have been a bit of a cranky mom because of the mess, but I’m glad that she’s enjoying painting and doing what she loves. She can use almost anything as…

  • When Aurora Drops by

    When Aurora Drops by

    Last night, I was lucky enough to see the northern lights just outside the house. We were in the middle of the wine and cheese night when I saw the Facebook story of my friend with a picture of aurora borealis at her place. So I went outside to check the skies then I saw…

  • The Old Town

    The Old Town

    A day before our departure back to Norway, we went to see Alcudia’s old town. I love old and ancient architecture plus the history behind it. We went there around 12 noon so it was hot and there were already lots of people. However, it didn’t stop us from admiring the place. The city walls…

  • Mallorca in my Mind

    Mallorca in my Mind

    This year’s summer destination is Mallorca. We booked this trip just earlier this year. It’s not practical because it’s more expensive than booking a trip for at least 6 months in advance. However, I have no regrets despite the price because Mallorca is a very beautiful place and besides we needed a refill of sunshine…

  • Is it winter, mom?

    That was my daughter’s question when we got out of our plane in Bergen from our flight from Mallorca. I answered no it’s still summer but the temperature difference is big so it felt colder. The temperature in Mallorca was around 33 degrees when we left and in Bergen was around 15, so yes the…

  • After 8

    After 8

    I got up early today to jog. This is the first time I was up so early this vacation. Usually, I start my day at the buffet and take a dip in the pool afterwards. But I’ve decided to challenge myself today since I’ve been lazy these past few days and besides I wanted to…
