Tattoo

Style and fashion is always on the top. Even we are suffering with global crises but the fashion industry keep on growing and changing. People love to know and asked question about "WHAT IS Today's TREND".For instance having tattoo or body piercing have been trend for few years now. Most of Hollywood stars have tattoo and piercing in their body. Named it why? Some of them have personal reason.

I've been watching "Mia Ink" and realized that their are people used it as symbol for something they will never forget. Well we have our own reason. Young people today used it as fashion.

I remember one thing when I was young . I heard people talking in the neighborhood about men having tattoo. Most of them was from prison or a bad boy. A lot of tribal people from other countries have piercing. It's part of their culture and tradition.

Now the time was change ..I understand that it's fashion and yes trend! But I think I will not create some of this trend in my body. It's not for me to judge for those people who like and wanted to have it. I am not enthusiastic with it.

Feeling of Hope

This morning I felt nervous for my doctor appointment. Actually it's me and husband was called by the doctor.

It's about the result of our both medical examination which did last month of Feb.

My gynecologist told us that all the blood test was negative, I feel like I was relieved. She explained about the next procedure that we need to do as couple wanted to have a baby. There is hope ! I said to myself. Joy!joy!

They give me a new schedule tomorrow which they will rinse out my fallopian tube thinking that maybe it is one reason why I never got pregnant.

I know I have a long journey.. I am glad for all the support of my husband.

Hope tomorrow will be fine.

essence of me!

I woke up today with full of home again. Hope to be pregnant and have a baby someday.This is the first time that I write my intimate feeling that I want to be a mother! Since I'm turning 37 this year but still I have hope in me.

My husband and I did the basic examine last week and submitted his sperm at the same time. My colleague encourage me all the time that I have a big chance since now a days women could possible injected with the sperm and be pregnant. I really don't know the medical words for this but it's through injection anyway.

For the other side I was worried this time while waiting my fertility test. I really wish to have a normal pregnancy!

Thinking how hard it could be this time. I never have this feeling when I was 32. It's a sudden feeling and this is the essence of me.

Well ..well the clock is still turning and I have hope.

health!

What happened to me! I've been coughing and have a runny nose for 2 days now. It's tough ! ohhhh !!! yesterday night I breath through my mouth. My husband suggested that we let the window open just to let the fresh air come in the bedroom. It works! I got 6 hours sleep. When I woke up I take my medicine (sinuba). I have sinusitis for quite long now.



I spend my whole day today in my bed and watching TV. Sad to say that I cannot meet my friends today as already scheduled. That's life sometimes we cannot control what will happened.



Get well soon Bethan!

ordinary day

I sleep well last night and woke up almost 1000h in the morning. I'm free from my work after my evening shift yesterday. Day off!! actually not free from housework. I do the laundry and cleaning the whole apartment!while listening some Filipino music. It's quite a while that I cooked my favorite Filipino food. The green beans with coconut milk that we called (mongus) in my dialect.

I went to the square in Frölunda

in the near by to take a look and window shopping. When I drop by Johanssons shoe shop I see that sale was going on. So I take a look and found this sandal for 75 Kr instead of original 275 Kr.

It's perfect for summer!

tired

Days and time go so fast. I've been off from my work for almost 1 week day and was suffering from a stomach disorder for 2 days. Now I'm back and healthy again. I¨ve been back to work since yesterday and feeling so tired.

I went to work 1100h instead of 1200h. One hour early for some reason that needed to fixed before 1300h. Typical situation when have a long time off from work. I took my brake late this afternoon because I never felt hungry.Hmmm not good but it's a usually feeling after some stomach disorder.

A feeling of confused when I distribute medicine so I take my time and keep cheeking on everything. It takes time and I was so slowly but I make it SURELY!

I felt that my feet and thigh are complaining ..they are so tired!!

Tired! tired!tired.. When I come home from work I just want to relax. I took hot shower first and then sat 15 minutes in the massage chair. What a feeling! Hmmm a feeling that bucks me up.

I love my work and I think my work is worthwhile meaningful!

thousands of thought!

Living outside from my motherland is not so easy for me from the beginning.

Having a new start of life is like a building construction with a lot of materials needed just be finish. But it takes many years sometimes depending the owners budget.

I compare it to each individuals ability to learn and to adapt to a life your present in.

I would like to share my sight of view about life abroad. I arrived December 30, 2005. Come from a warm tropical climate landed to a country with minus 15 degree cold. A lot of thought and excitement when I arrived on that day.I remember something that I heard often from my friends and neighbors that they are wishing to live abroad. But I realized that everything is not easy.

It takes time and effort for everything. Yes! I can speak english but it wouldn't count if you will live here forever ? you need to speak their language .In spite of all achievement that you may have, but still you need to go back to the basic. In Sweden people speaks Swedish. To learn the language is the key to find a job.

Now after living 3 years I realized how I've been through my life. I was so blessed to have a very supporting husband . Now I have a permanent job and can speak their language.

I'm the only Filipino working in my department,the rest of my colleague are Swedish. It requires a lot of pressure and patience sometimes. One big reason is the language itself.

Month of February my boss send me to the "kvalitet ombud utbildning" (ombud )means representative, it's a training for those who will be the quality representatative in every working area specially in my department. It was my 2nd day of training yesterday and I learned a lot. I was so thankful for all the opportunity that I have right now. The training takes 6 days 1 day for every week and it's free and I got paid for it.

All the delegates are Swedish! I felt nervous! during our discussion and group work. But this time I tried to believe my instinct that I can do it and thinking to be myself all the time. It happens things that impossible! I was with the whole discussion yerterday and so on with all the group work.

I have my self-confindence!

basic view

I was tired after Stockholm trip. It's 6 hours long drive from Gothenburg till Stockholm. Driving with GPS was helpful specially most of the highways have speed camera!

I admired the view while passing by the country side. Their are moments that I asked my husband to stop the car just to take some pic.

I really missed snow! The fact that snow rarely comes in Gothenburg. We arrived 1800h Thursday in Stockholm. After eating dinner my husband and I decided to take swimming in the pool. Aschhh! the water was so cold only 23degree. Both of us was disappointed so we take "sauna" instead.

20 minutes sauna was a very relaxing moment. The two of us was damps of sweat. I feel so good telling you guys that it was my first time take a "sauna". I have a good sleep the whole night.

Friday morning after breakfast we drive through Phil.embassy for my passport renewal.A little bit of mistakes due to their website error but everything was fine in the end.

Island's life

This time destination for the trip is to Island called HÖnÖ. The best thing that happened to in my marriage life was HAVING a common interest with my husband. We spend most of our free time together and go outing! It's a lot of fun thinking that Sweden is a nice country and a lot of interesting places to see and discover.

I really appreciate the Life here at Hönö. People living in the Island have access for everything they need. Can't even feel that it's long hour drive from the city. They have public transportation like bus and can drive car as well.

And a sea ambulance too.

(Island view and transport)

Bridge connecting to the neighborhood Island. Through this bridge it sudden come up in my mind the Mactan and Mandaue bridge. Yes! I admit home sweet home hehhe but I love Sweden! A lot of things that is good here and I learned a lot.

Both of us wanted to have fun so we even drive through the neighborhood Island. The view was so relaxing. Beautiful and wonderful!!!!a sudden feeling that comes relieve inside me.

After 5 hours of roaming around we decided to go back home. Both of us was felt tired!hehhehe but we enjoyed a lot.

The whole view of the Island fascinated me a lot.
It was a very convenient trip thinking that a ferry itself had the traffic light control and nothing hassle just to get in and out in the Island. It's free ride anytime any days a government service to their citizens.
