This Good Friday

In this Good Friday April 22, 2011. My husband went fishing with his 2 friends I like better to be at home with my "little honey". I do my usual daily household chore. In the news this morning mostly is about Easter celebration. They even took a clip of video from my home country(Philippines)about how we celebrate Easter Holiday. Majority of the people there are "Roman Catholic" believer. On this Holiday a meaning to spend with.

Even though I am living abroad strong belief remain inside me. That their is "God" this is the day we observed as the anniversary of His cruxifixion. People all over the world perhaps celebrate this special occasion in any different way depending what religion they belong. We must respect them,accept in every individuals faith.

I think today we need to understand and put in our mind that "God"really exist. Taking something forgranted about Him maybe a result of confusion of faith.

make over



1 week Easter brake again, for whole week I am thinking to have my sandal. According to weather forecast we have sunshine for this days ahead  perfect time to show  foot. Let them smell the fresh air. Time for me to fix foot spa or foot massage even cut my hair. Winter season makes my skin so dry that even I used soft cream for it still does'nt help.

But it is not easy to find baby sitter for one day;my mother in-law is quite old to take care of  my daughter. I doubt to phone some friends because they have their works to take care. Hard to live in far far from family;all my sisters and brothers are not in the nearby. I must convince my husband to be home for few hours. I really need make over.



return bottles

Get money on return bottles!this is not new here but I have a short story about it. In my home country we are not used to have this machine bottle. Instead we have some people who pick up from the garbage can and then sell it in station where they accept "recycling material" then forward and sell it to different recycling companies.

Usually glass bottle like example bottle from wine "tanduay bottle" is the common one or other kinds of bottle that the recycling station wanted to buy. The first time I did grocery here was with my husband he brought with him lot of 2 liters empty bottle of coca-cola. I asked him why?then he told me and explained it to me. In every grocery store their is a machine where we can "panta"in Swedish as you see in  pictures.

In all types of can beverages you get your money back!how much per each you  see in the "return machine". You save space at home because you don't need to keep it if you don't want too, in the other hand your helping the environment. Way back at home we used to keep the big bottle of coca-cola for water drinks and cold it in refrigerator. Some people used it for selling gasoline or kerosene that usually common in the province.

Thank you for reading!have a nice day...until next time.

Selling May flower

Yesterday April 14 kids from diffrent schools have their premier day of selling "May flower". It is pink and green the simplest one cost 10 Swedish kr . The expensive May flower cost 50 Swedish kr .This is a Swedish school tradition support to children organization. They do it every year the money they gain is a big help to poor children here in Sweden .

I bought it yesterday,children knocking in my door.

seated on the chair

Today I let our balcony door open. Yet, so windy outside that is strong enough. I not bother about it, I will like to breath this wonderful fresh air of spring weather. Soon we take out  grill fram because summer will come soon.

We almost cannot wait to sit down in the bench outside. Be seated on the chair and sunbathing the whole day long is everybody wishes. This is the time we rinse and clean our garden,take away the dry leaves. Easter holiday is approaching as well.

Some of families decorate Easter decoration at home but I doubt to decorate on this season. I have not much enough time. One thing I am sure to have daffodil  flower at home.

Second hand become trend

Good for environment better for us who lives in this  universe. Recycling is the correct word,but who do most?not so many of us. Here in Sweden shopping in second hand store is a new trend. It gives  2 purposes number 1, money will send for a help to poor countries number 2, save our environment out from climate threat!.



our baby "jumperoo"we bought it in "blocket" 3 months ago.

 Smart right? second hand shopping both in  internet and store increase interest. We have "blocket" here in Sweden very  popular at this present. A version of ebay but big difference because you have the oppurtunity to meet eye to eye between "you" the seller and buyer. You have the right to check the item you wish to buy before paying it. It really works!because people  is ready to drive long way to the place where the private person advertise the product.

 A lot of Swedish family do shopping in this name second hand website. It is not only saving the environment but to theirselves saving even money. It's not  only people in middle class buy second hand here because of trend folks follows even young adults.



2 months used only  from first family user.. very good condition when we bought it.

 It's one way or another that you may earned money from your old things. Why keeping it at home,where their are people who are willing to pay it.

Second hand stores here are manage by an organization. As I mentioned above their purpose is to help poor countries. Most of the things are donated by some kind owner who no longer likes their things at home. The help organization earned much money after it.A generous works that bring big help to poor people.  Africa is the number one country who got help most of all.

 I remember it as yesterday that time I was still living in my home country. When "ukay-ukay" ( Cebuano dialect meaning you need to rummage the bundle of second hand clothes) become popular in my country. The "ukay-ukay" clothes usually came from other country(abroad). The quality of the cloth is one strong reason why people take the bait.
