Live life. Take photos. Drink good tea.

  • Paint it with Magic Dust

    Paint it with Magic Dust

    Summer is the perfect time to be outside and do things that needed to be done when it’s warm and dry. A couple of years ago, I’ve already thought of freshing up my daughter’s playhouse because kids love to play and at the same time her playhouse needed some tlc. However, because of procrastination, the…

  • Luxury

    Luxury

    Sometimes, a bit of luxury is necessary. Like for instance an eight hour sleep. It’s not always possible to get it specially when there’s a kid(s) at home. Then on the night before the flight, we only slept for only 3 hours because we had to be at the airport 2 hours before the flight.…

  • Off to Somewhere Warm and Sunny

    Off to Somewhere Warm and Sunny

    My vacation starts today. Glad that I took some vacation days from work. I must admit that I really need this. Today, we took an early flight and it’s my child’s first vacation abroad. I’m glad that everything went well on the flight-no tantrums. 😁 Anyway, I’m looking forward to more memories and uhmm more…

  • Hard to Find

    Hard to Find

    It’s been three weeks since I last combed my thick long wavy hair. It’s not that I’m lazy but I lost my good old Body Shop comb, unfortunately. But the good thing is that I started to just stop caring about how people think about my looks and the best thing is that I don’t…

  • New Babies

    New Babies

    I got these beautiful plants last weekend and I can say that these made me happy. And still is making me happy! I can’t wait to see them grow. 🙂

  • Another First Time

    Another First Time

    Another achievement for me last week! Trying the SUP board for the first time. It felt really good to finally try it. It wasn’t bad but I admit that I got nervous. Losing control of the board kinda freaked me out. Sometimes I’m not sure anymore what makes me afraid because anything can be a…

  • Therapeutic

    Therapeutic

    You don’t have to have a green thumb to enjoy the benefits of planting. Just being outside of your house and having access to a garden reduces anxiety, stress and mental fatigue and can also improve concentration. All you need is a dash of sunshine, healthy soil, pots or a portion of your garden, garden…

  • Ascension Day 2022

    Ascension Day 2022

    The Feast of the Ascension of Jesus Christ was not an excuse to just sit still and get rotten in the sofa just because it’s a holiday. It’s actually a perfect day to explore and spend time with family. Well, in my case I can’t sit still. It’s impossible when you have a little kid!…

  • A Short Trip to Lindås Lock (Lindåsslusene)

    A Short Trip to Lindås Lock (Lindåsslusene)

    At first, I couldn’t understand the concept of a sea lock. I thought it’s just gates and that the purpose is to controll the boat traffic. 😛 Good thing someone explained it to me and thanks to Wikipedia I now know that a lock helps boats to pass and navigate a canal or a river…

  • Another Achievement Unlocked

    Another Achievement Unlocked

    My close friends and family know that I have an irrational fear for the sea/waters. I cannot deny that my fear is stopping me from trying out fun activities and I hate that I’m missing so much of life because of my angst. This is one of the battles that I’m fighting, but I found…

  • The Worst Enemy

    Most people say that our worst enemy doesn’t come from others but ourselves- our mind. I can say that it’s true because no one can run away from an annoying mind and our annoying selves. No matter what we do, we are trapped in the same space and the same time. Sometimes our plea to…

  • A Unicorn!

    A Unicorn!

    No. Apparently not. But this gorgeous creature has a magical effect (or should I say therapeutic effect). She made me smile and lifted up my mood. Maybe it has an invisible horn? Who knows? 🙂
