panorama view

Party after work openly what young adults used to have. I don't know if it's right to describe them as liberated but since conservative type of person did not exist here anyway(not unless to those family with  immigrants background ). Parents are open to accept that their son and daughter have early intimate relationship. But this is part of their culture so I have nothing to say about it. They have called "freedom" here as for short. Every country have their own style and culture so we need to respect ,because  no one  we can called  perfect.

I am who I am even before, I like to meet new friends in order to sharpen my knowledge about culture difference. One of my co worker arrange a party in their new build house and I am invited! Hm mm happy of course that I have guts to mingle and leave my "shyness type" at home. Well...well.. I used to have coins under my shoe(joke).

The food was totally delicious and delicate, found no rice as "I always have at home" hehehe.

Cooked roe,smoked salmon(which is one of my favorite),shrimp,cooked egg and more as you could see in the picture. Not so many menu as observed above but with bread(not white bread)and potato we are all full and satisfied. Dinner is not complete without the delicious dessert and it was a perfect evening. 

The panorama view from the second floor of the new built house fascinated me a lot. Look at this!view from veranda facing in the marina. One popular reason why houses with this kind of view give the highest price in real state market here.

In the other side of the house same view from the veranda!5 minutes walk to our working place. Mm mm but to own house here is not cheap.You need to pay lot of house taxes monthly and so other bills ,really cost money compared to have a house in Philippines. This is one reason that I am contented if we're living in co-operative plats here and have some "bahay kubo"in Phil.instead.

Chicken with thyme

My dinner today was again excellent the food that my husband had cooked taste good. He did the cooking work as always in the kitchen while I take some rest in the living room. Of course I planned to help but since I need to clean the house so I take some brake in the couch. Dinner was surprised he said  so I let him alone and do everything in the kitchen.

Our 5 years wedding anniversary is quite near and it's good news for both of us that we succeed to have a happy living. Culture difference is not the hindrance of our marriage life. We keep our promise to talk each other for whatever problem situation we need to face. Even it's my family problem in Philippines, it's a pleasure to have him in my life. He is always in myside.

Now that I am pregant he did extra job at home and help me more than before. Food is ready and hmmmm smells so good. He did chicken with thyme for the first time he cooked this menu. Unbelievable  the food taste and smells  totally good. Thanks to my husband for the pleasant dinner today.

The next Philippine Presedent! 2010

First and foremost I would like to say that today's blog post of mine is quite sensitive topic to discuss. I ask forgiveness in case I may write something which is not necessary to say. But I would like to express my own opinion as I have observed and learned here abroad.

I heard from the radio here and have seen news in TV about the "Presidential election". As usual worse situation had happened, few people killed. I felt deep sorrow why we need to stop ones life just for our own interest. It maybe happened that someone killed someone  to protect the candidates name. A worse scenario in my beloved country that I am worried about when it stop!

Philippine needs a true leader, that could handle and control his/her cabinet member to not let them destroy the future of the Filipinos. Sometimes I believe that no matter who will be the new elected leader(person surrounded him/her) give important part why we have called"corruption". I don't believe that it's Presidents failure because they work as  group! yes in spite that the President role the country.

We need to face the fact that our country is weak in terms of leadership. Lets help each other and stop buying votes just to win your own interest. Why we need to buy "power"and destroy our nation!We will stop being naive and start to think more concrete for our own good and future for our young adults. I hope people is wise enough to choose the good one and deserving winner not because he/she work in film industry or maybe from a well known family.

But please think deeply and analyse who is the "Best" for us. I  congratulate "Noynoy Aquino" as he is the new elected leader. I hope that he is the perfect one to help and stop the worse corruption!and could give hope and so we can called new Philippines.

Early shopping

We both wake up quite early in the morning and prepared for the "baby market"outside Gothenburg City. It's raining but still lot of people come and most of them are mother to be some  bought their small children. I think that the school administration did the idea and used the money for the school development or maybe something. Most of the staff working today are their own teachers.

We came 1 hour after the market open and the area was already crowded. We decided to concentrate for "baby cloth"and yes we had bought almost 45 different kind of infant garment. I felt tired and hungry and did my branch at home around 12:00. My mother inlaw invited for dinner but I told her and asked if we could have it tomorrow instead. I was so tired for today shopping, my husband and I did grab today's "baby market"oppurtunity since it happened rarely and sometimes our both scheduled was the problem.

Baby boom as the report shows, obviously prices for infants article are getting higher. The reason why we decided to have shopping early.

My baby belt

Baby things day

It's not in my plan to window shopping for baby cloth. A little bit early I think,but I cannot let my mind go away from children department. I find myself laughing and did enjoy when I saw this white "infants"shirt. Sale item but I never bought it for the reason that I need to wait 2 months more. Yes!I almost tempted and save by the bell because I got phone call from my husband. We have plan of checking prices for baby crib today.

First this one I asked my husband but he does not like at all. I don't like the price either quite expensive and not practical.

We proceed to the next display and we both like it. Inside the crib it could change to different level both higher up or down.This is what we've planning to buy for my baby. I like the color white but we will discuss it at home later for the price and  hopefully we could get some discount. To have a baby here is expensive everything coast money.

getting change

I maybe over reacted sometimes of my body changes. At home my husband and I have jokes to one another and he called me "smällen" it's a(Swedish) joke for pregnant woman. My wardrobe need to update and I started separate "my maternity clothes. But thanks for the new "mode" today some of them still OK to used. At last I got passed the worse thing! morning and evening sickness had totally gone: Now I enjoy every moment of my pregnancy that I can even go out and go fishing with my husband.

It's not summer yet here but the weather is getting better and better almost everyday. Last week of April had been raining for almost the whole week but it did help for the trees to get back and be green again.

May 2 as we're the same off from work we did fishing and have fresh air. I bring "picnic"but I ate alone since my husband not feel hungry he want to concentrate to have some catch.

His patient rewarded after 15 throw finally and catch "Sea trout" relative to salmon fish. It was exact size as the fishing authority required. Otherwise we need to throw it away if under 45 cm. Dinner is free!fresh and healthy food rich in omega 3 and protein.
