Live life. Take photos. Drink good tea.

  • Over and Out

    Over and Out

    This time, I really need to prioritize my well-being because lately I’ve been feeling overwhelmed. My migrane has gotten worse and stress level is high. One of my concerns is that I would be sick for weeks and affect my job performance at my full time job. I work full time and have a sideline…

    Working with “Mamma”

    So, I started my 2024 with a new job at the breast cancer screening center in the city of rain (Bergen). I was of course glad and excited because I’ve never operated a mammogram machine before. I’ve never been in the clinicals during my uni years so this is totally new for me. I only…

    Got Beaten Again!

    One of the most complex and demanding work task in my line of work as a healthcare personell is to take care and help patients who think that they are still physically and mentally fit. I understand that it is hard to lose the autonomy over self. As a healthcare worker, we know that we…

    The Runway

    This shot is an underground tunnel at work that connects the parking area to the main building. This week is a bit hectic for me because of the snowfall and the heavy trafic. So yesterday I had to run because I was late.

    Matcha from Hibiki-An

    It’s been a while since I blogged about teas. But it doesn’t mean that I stopped drinking it though. I admit that I’ve been drinking more coffee/espresso drinks lately because a cup of coffee is more available in covenient stores and saves time because there’s always brewed coffee at work. I could ofcourse drink these…

  • New Year. New Hobby?

    The Small Ones Deserve to Live Too

    Winter can be a ruthless season not only for us humans but also for the animals. It is important to help these creatures or else they would go extinct. Besides, it doesn’t take much of your time and energy to help them. It’s been cold these past few weeks. The temperature dropping to as low…

  • Recuperating

    Recuperating

    I’ve been sick for a month now because of rhinovirus and strep infection. I never thought that a common cold could be so cruel to me this season. I used to be better after a week but this time is different. The bug forced me to stay home for a month and also caused a…

  • A Broken Wing

    A Broken Wing

    Three days ago, we took in an injured owl. First, it was found on the driveway four days ago, but then no one could attend to it right away because we were on the way out. Then the day after we went on an search operation to find it and check the owl’s injury. Fortunately,…

    With (6)Strings Attached

    I can already play the guitar! Oh yes! Another achievement for me. After years of trying I’ve finally learned how to play the basics. The key to learning how to play the guitar in my opinion is finding a song that you like and then finding an easy chord online. Also, learning a new music…

    A Necessary Life Skill

    A week ago, my daughter bought her Christmas Eve dress at the flea market. She fell in love with the dress so why not allow her to buy it. From the outer side of the dress, it looked almost perfect despite some of minor issues. We didn’t mind because the dress is really beautiful. I…
