Live life. Take photos. Drink good tea.

  • Photo Challenge: A Good Match

    You cannot absolutely go wrong with tea, bread and jam for a light supper. A little bit of decoration can also make your afternoon tea into a cosy experience.     *This is my take on The Daily Post photo challenge, A Good Match.

  • Where are you from?

    This is the number one question that I get from people that I meet for the first time. When I first came to Norway, I did not mind people asking me questions. I understand that some people are just curious types. I do not talk too much to people that I just met. In short, I am a…

  • Death

    I had a series of writer’s block lately. Some of my friends who are following my blog thought that I am taking a break from blogging because of my absence. They were wrong. It’s just that depressing thoughts were in the way and I just needed to reflect about it. In just a span one…

    Costa Adeje 2016, Part 3- Last Part

    Day 3 I woke up to the sound of the pouring rain. First, I thought that I was just dreaming. Then I looked outside our balcony. Our towels and our swimming attires were soaked and the sky was grey. I thought that I’d never see the sun for the rest of the day and that…

  • Costa Adeje 2016, Part 2

    Day 2 Our hotel is located on the right side of the motorway. Just a 2-minute walk from Gran Sur shopping mall. When we went out of the hotel on the second day, we didn’t take the cab because we wanted to take our time exploring the place. The picture below reminds me somehow of…

  • Costa Adeje 2016, Part 1

    First of all Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and New Year celebration. I had a hectic schedule before and during Christmas so I didn’t have time on my blog. Anyways, let me start my first post this 2017 with a travel post from my latest trip to one…

  • A short life

    I just finished writing today’s entry in my diary. I thought that I’m going to sleep but I was wrong. I’m not tired yet. Probably because I took a 2 hour “nap” after dinner. I’m at my parent’s place this Christmas. We had a quiet and solemn celebration, just the four of us which I…

  • Oh. My. Zeus.

      It was in February of 2010 when I visited Rome. I immediately fell in love with the city because of its charm. And most of all I got to tick off a box on my bucket list. Ever since I was small, I love going to churches, museums, and galleries. I find it more…

  • Houjicha

    Houjicha is a Japanese roasted green tea. According to Wikipedia, houjicha is roasted in a porcelain pot over charcoal. So that explains the reddish color and the smoked scent of this tea. Before my Japanese friend head back to Japan, I ordered another bunch of Japanese snacks and teas. I got one pack of sencha,…

  • When Sunshine Makes…

    .. an offer you can’t refuse.   My take on this week’s The Daily Post photo challenge, shine.

  • Saturday with Zorro

    It’s just the two of us this weekend. So I try my best to make it great for the both of us even though I’m not feeling well because of the hangover (hehe). I’m so proud of myself today because I went for a short trip to the mountain despite of my poor *ahem* condition.…

  • A Rare Phenomenon

    It is already mid October and the weather is surprisingly lovely in most parts of the country for almost two weeks now. I am not complaining though. The weather is just perfect for hikes, road/boat trips, picnics and you name it but do not let the sunshine and the blue skies fool you because it…
