finally it's spring!

Spring!spring!finally it's getting lighter now. Yesterday at 2400h the whole Europe change the winter time to "summer time". The time was move 1 hour backward,thanks at least I was day off from my work today otherwise I need to wake up earlier than I used to be. I remember before that my classmate was been late 1 hour in school because they forgot to change their alarm clock.

Yes, before I forgot yesterday is the Earth Day but not all had participate. At home we was watching "Robinson" so we forgot to turn off the light. After watching the program in TV. I noticed that the whole neighborhood was dark.Hmmm it's to late to ... so my husband and I decided to ignore it.

Today I did my 30 minutes practice drive. I did great! but still feel nervous! Life in Sweden is not so easy as could be hehhehe. To have a driving license takes a lot of courage and discipline. They have a strict rules for it. Of course I do understand why , it's not a game to drive a car... After 30 minutes I asked my husband to drop by the supermarket..

The weather was so wonderful today... the sun was shining and it's still light even the time was 1800h. Just a way to home by the side of the road I saw a lot of crocus flower with a full view from the street.

What a glorious day!!!

Something I like to have...

I like SALES::: yes! because I seldom buy things on original price.

The thing that I like here in Sweden was they have a big sale before the season end. It's very affordable.

bought this bag last year month of December during the" MEXX " big sale in Frölunda Torg. paid it for the half price .

The thing that I like this bag is the space that I can bring lot of things I need. This is still unsued , and planning to have it when I travel. You can find it MEXX website http://www.mexx.com/

This is my 2nd bag that I think I comfortable when I have it. This was used sveral times of me. I bought it during my first vacation in Cebu Philippine last DEc 2007. It's a copy of "Feragamo" bag . But the quality is not bad at all.

A hand made bag,pure leather from Italy. My mother in- law bought these during their Italy vacation 1996. I get this as a present last year.

a word by mistake!

A question to all who those had interest reading my blog. Have you ever used words that be hard of hearing ? A typical example if you are an immigrant for country who speaks their own language aside from English.

I have that experience yesterday! It was happened after 1600h. I get used to punched my card after I changed my working uniform. Suddenly I heard the sounds "peep". I reacted right away and said "Pippa " in Swedish this means have sex with. On that moment my co worker that stood besides me was laughing! I recognized that I pronounced it wrong.

When I said "Pippa" I was thinking words "piper" which in Swedish means sounds in a high pitch. I did that mistakes without intention.

Usch! I felt embarrassed but well,that's life. It is not easy to be perfect. Learning language from other country is so difficult. I know I need more training it's just hard sometimes.

Swedish language itself is difficult they have some special words that need to pronounced clearly and correct tempo otherwise Swedish people miss understand you.

Anyway it was done and I learned from my mistakes.

warm up

What a beautiful morning! the sun was shining and it influenced my day. I have evening shift again today so I take it easy. After I ate my breakfast I do facial mask! Why noT!

It's cucumber and apple reviving. I have it in my face around 15minuter.While waiting I was watching "America's Top Model" of Tyra Banks.

The timer was ringing and I felt that my face getting tighter so I was out with lukewarm water. I think it workout! My face feel soften.

back to normal

I woke up 900h this morning. Hmm back to my normal days. Start my work 1200h hope everything is fine today. I've been off since weekend.

The sun is shining today!Some of the spring flower starting to grow.

This is all for today.I need to prepare my things. Continue later..

creativity!

This time I would like to share,one of my co worker creation. Hehhee not so big deal maybe for you guys but for me I was impressed with her creativity.

She make this dress and the most interesting part was the"Textile". She is using throw pillow cover!

She came up with a creative idea or concept. She even shows that a cheap piece of material does not matter at all.

She did it with a great details. She did the best job.

Weekend brake

I need to charge my battery. A lot of things happened in work and I have no energy left.

Yesterday, I tried not to think to much . Since I usually busy doing things at home.

I did watch TV the whole day "The Hills". It's about fashion and it's based on real people. Interesting! and I enjoyed!

I did manage my own stress!but last Friday I was in the bottom line. Thanks God I'm in again.

The early bird catches the worm!

I woke up 700h and feeling not rested! We have seminar today started 800h. I've been in rush and hurry catching the bus 7:45 but I missed it. Negative stress again. I phoned my husband asking some rescue, and thanks to him I came 8:10. Late not so much but I feel little embarrassed because my boss was watching me.

Hmmm anyway the seminar takes the whole day and I learned a lot of things. It was very informative and I am thankful that I am with them today.

I am not the early bird today but I will try next time...

feel out of sort!

What a pain! after my hospital visit I go to work. I have night shift from 1400 hr until 21.15 h .After past few hour it seems that my stomach swelled up and aching.I felt sick ! I took the medicine that i got from my doctor. I sat for a while and relax. Time 1500h I heard some one's voice calling my name. It was the nurse in charge in the department.

She rebuke me and keep on talking something that I myself cannot understand why. Hello! I said to myself. What a tough day start!It's not funny to have an unpleasant situation like this.

I admit to her that I got a mistake but she never listened. I was thinking that she could understand my situation . I was really disappointed in her.

I felt out of sort that my whole evening was chaos! In that case well that's life.It's all very well for others to say that they are right.

When I was at home I keep on thinking how hard to be with other people sometime...specially people who is also immigrant!

Wash Your Hands!

Your Best Way to Stay Healthy and Avoid Sickness: Wash Your Hands!



What woman prefer? Long finger nail or short? I agree that as a woman having a long nail is part of our lifestyle. It's nice to look at and it's elegant!

But did you know that germs love to stay in long nails because we missed to clean the nail properly and we used hands by eating sometimes Right? Hehehehe for instance that today you like to have drive through (MAC Donald).HMmmm ......


One way of spreading germs is by touching. That's why it's so important to wash hands before and after meal. Even before cooking food and after using the toilet.





Even if your hands appear quite clean, with trim and neat fingernails and the lingering smell of fine soap, the surface can still harbor millions upon millions of microscopic bacteria and germs.

Yesterday during brake time.I did a test by using the above photo. I washed my hands properly and used alcohol afterwards then apply this lotion and washed again. I put my hands in the box with violet light. I can't believed what I saw. A lot of germs that only this instrument(the box besides not focus in photo) can see.

I saw a lot of germs in the cuticle of my nail. Disgusting! But it's not easy for us to know this. For sure wash your hands regularly and change hand towels at least one's a week.

satisfied

What a Friday! I am off from work today but did a lot of things at home. I started my day with vacuum - cleaning the whole apartment and the same time wash clothing.

My husband always told me that I need to relax sometime but I do like things for instance decorating at home. I do more feel relaxed while watching things in organized. Put things in order ika nga hehehee. Of course I did "kalat" also sometimes when feeling tired from work.

Today since I'm free from work I take the chance while I have much time for me. Seeing that I never change curtain after Christmas . I had bought curtain from Jotex last month and never tried it. I want to see how it look like.

Suspicious color of the curtain and the glass window in the living room was wide I felt that maybe it will not fit. I like the piece of material for the curtain. I paid it for sale price.

Exciting! whew what a hard work. Finally I was finished and satisfied what I have done. I like it!

body language

Ever since before I often heard of,that people judging people through their actions. How many of us did realized it's dangerous idea. No one I think! I myself admit that sometimes I do believe that we can read one's idea through body language.

Yes, body language is an important part of communication but judging other peoples feeling? I think we need to slowly down this kind of human behaviour. No one can guess of what other people think! No one either can guess what we've been thinking. As the saying said "Don't judge the book by it's cover"

We are living in a suspicious world. One of my workmate believe that we need to adapt and lived awkward situation. Yes, its part of everyday living but why we can't change...and make a better plan for our live. Why we need to keep on judging some one's life.

Hmmm no one is perfect in this world anyway. If we are all perfect I believe that the whole world is boring!!

my fast food

I felt so hungry when I arrived at home this afternoon. I did a lot of things in my work.

I was thinking of food that easy to prepare.I'm not up to cooked dinner! But I like some vegetables.




I forgot to buy some vegetables yesterday. Available is only broccoli . so I take it as what I have in the refrigerator.

1. 1. broccoli


2. 2. bamboo shoot in canned version.


3. . chicken fillet


4. .garlic


5. .union


6. .carrot

I prepare the garlic first and union then the carrot. bamboo shoot was already sliced so I did the broccoli after the spices. Then afterwards I cut the chicken fillet into small sizes.

As usual I was using olive oil. With the help of Chinese sauce and Thai Sauce .Hmmmm mission accomplish it taste good. Dinner was finished and served hot.

Have a delicious meal!

spend wisely

How expensive everything is this days. It's unbelievable. Economic Crisis .. crisis..which both of us never know how our government make up to bring back the normal situation. Unemployment had rapidly growing.

(MEXX brand bought 79:-

This time we need to be wisely. Think first before buying things which is unnecessary. I have tested some method on how to save money.

• I never buy unnecessary things



• I bought clothes when there's sale



• I enquired prices and compare to the other store before buying things



• I save money in the bank / savings account



• I am not using credit card to avoid paying lot of interest charge



• I used cash only every time I do shopping



• I have a monthly checking of my economy( how much I spend for the month)



• I wrote all of my expenses including home needs
  
  
• I always talked my husband regarding money

I have this method almost 1 year now. I started it after I got my job. It's working for me. It not too late guys.. try it.

(I paid for this dress 70% from the original price)
