It Scares Me
Earlier today, I read on the news that a lot of people received a DVD in their mailbox. No one knows who the sender is. The content of the DVD is a four hour homemade film (which was copied and stitched together from different films) about the Holocaust. The title according to NRK is “Illuminating…

Stop the Blame
Thanks to this Facebook’s function, we can now see what other people like, dislike and share. Not only that, we can also see what our friends write in discussions and forums alike. I’m always logged in to Facebook. I think I’m hooked to fishing for articles to read. Everything is there! You don’t have to…

The Favorite One
She was the muse. He asked her to sit beside him and he told her that the seat is only for her. So she sat on that seat. In the morning and in the afternoon. You see, he kept his promise that she is the muse. The muse of the trips and the muse of…

Because I Care
After a couple of days following the presidential elections in the Philippines on Facebook, I’ve had enough. I will not say anything about which of the candidates I think should have won, because it’s the majority of the votes count in the end and don’t forget democracy. Politics is a dirty game and we all…

What Baby?
Why is the women’s choice to have babies limited by time and age? Why is it acceptable for men to have babies later? I know! Unfair right? I’m in my 30’s and I admit that I’m not yet ready to have babies. Don’t take me wrong, I love kids but the thought of having one…

Disappointed at Humanity
We humans are blessed because we’ve been given the ability to think and thus making us superior to other species. We also have the best tools in the world which are our hands. Without them we won’t be able to work for food and shelter. Last Monday, my friend and I went for a walk at Møllebukta, one…

Our World Needs Healing
My heart goes out to the victims of killings around the world. It is depressing to hear what humanity has become today- selfish, respectless, inhumane and cruel. I hope that we survive this trial and that people will learn the value of life. The planet does not need more successful people. The planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers,…

Grand Slam Beach Volleyball 2014- Day 2
Today is the second day of the beach volleyball tournament here in Stavanger. Too bad we did not go to the main volleyball court today to watch the men’s qualification match. However, right after my work I went to take a look at the ongoing match just a couple of blocks away from where I…

Norwegian Constitution Day
Or 17.mai as we call it here is Norway’s biggest event. On the same day in 1814, the Constitution was signed in Eidsvoll and this year marks the 200th year of having its very own constitution. Every year, 17.mai is celebrated by long parades and numerous festivities. People wear their national costumes and wave the…
