to have a Swedish driver's license

I think I wrote  in my blog before about rules on how to get Swedish  driver's license. I ask forgiveness if I repeat again,but on my way home suddenly it comes in my mind. This topic,specially when I saw this volvo car in  front of us who have "övningskör" Swedish sign for practise driving.

Sweden is the country where you could find the most difficult way to get driver's license.It's not so easy,as I could compare in my home country. At 16 years old you can start practise drive,but you need to under go siminar. If you practice drive with your father or mother(which of course have a license)  they need to be with you during the siminar. If you go to driving school,it cost you money because you pay per hour here.

After all the training,and you're ready to take written test(which you pay separately). Through passing the written test is a MUST otherwise you cannot proceed with the driving test(you pay another one). 2 months after if you did not passed the driving test,then you need to go back to the basic. Meaning written test and driving (another cost to pay).

Expensive right!!I am not exactly sure,but I heard from my husband that here we have so many traffic signs to be memorize. I tell you guys lot of them failed,not only immigrants even Swedish young adults. Take 2,or take 3 some did it 4 or 5 times. If your immigrants here then you have driver's license from home. It does'nt matter,you may show to the National Road Administration that you can drive according to their way of driving.  

green sign practise driving with family member. driving school have their red (practise drive)sign.

let us remember the 9th year after Sept 11 tragedy

We are all aware about Sept 11,remember the day of the unbelievable historic tragedy. Today is the 9th year,the history channel showd all the story of what had happend. We have a saying about "time heals all wounds"yes after all years we forgot all the shocking terrible attack but when I saw it again today.

I feel a sudden, that the time moves backward. I've  never seen it on live news on the exact year of the accident. I was living in Philippines during that year and heard only from the radio because I was working then. But today it's just like I am one of the victim inside the WTC. Watching in my tv screen how the building hits by the plain until it was collapsed did take my breath away.

Thousands of innocent people  lost their lives because of terrorist attack. I am angry with them(terrorist)why they keep on killing innocent people.

Our world is not safe as we thought. Danger is every where,therefore I understand why we have a hard control inside the airport. I rememberd when we travelled to Philippines had been undergo hard control from Amsterdam until the rest of the airport till we reach Cebu.

I understand why people get mad to the people who has the same origin country(to the terrorist people). Thinking what they did in our world creating problems all the time.

Again watching the WTC twin tower collapsed,people panic. It's like watching the world war2,like the world was ended. Totally unacceptable accident because it was planned.

I feel sorry to the victims who never got a chance to say goodbye to their beloving family and friends. Heroes people working in the area and killed during their time of duty.

I hope we could stop the evil mind of the people who will continue distroy our world. A prayer to the victims of 9/11.Amen

2. Start to shape meat balls,hot the frying pan (make sure it's rather hot)then down the heat around 10 minutes.

a number of bacteria around us

Lets talk about health today. We learned ourselves our children to wash the hands before and after using the toalet. We are afraid of bacteria because we don't want to get sick. Avoid having long finger nails if your working in the hospitals or related sector.

Some mothers have always alcohol in their bags incase of emergency because we don't let our children be dirty. Lot of stuffs that we will try to avoid. But we have so many things in our home that we forget to clean everyday because we thought it's not necessary. I am one of those!

I was reading daily newspaper today and read the article about the bacteria in our gaggets at home.Mobile telephone,can be the real spot of bacteria. Out of 30 tested mobile phone 7  had a higher percentage of bacteria. The other 6 mobile phone the bacteria is not dangerous ,but it could be the breeding grounds of the nasty other related germs.

The worst  they found out in the most dirty mobile phone is E coli bacteria and salmonella bacteria. The test group (in Uk) even quote that mobile telephone are potentials to carry and spread the bacteria. Things we need to think about! But it's hard, how should we clean our mobile phone by not getting distroy?(each cover). Whewww!hard right,have some body tips?please write a comments. I will appreciate.

picture for the day

Driving 1 hour away from Gothenburg City,our day trip landed in Borås. The City was known because of the animal park,even called as city of textiles. We were in Borås animal park,first visited their tropical animals. Quite scary inside,lot of snakes named it poisonous most of them. Well,my husband enjoy the atmosphere but not really me.

I dare not to take pictures of the other animals specially the snakes. Take just the Iguana!We were both hungry so we decided to eat before we proceed. But we forget the time,closing hour in the cashier is 16.00,at time 16.30 the personnel strated to pick up the animals. I am talking the leon,giraffe,elefant and some more.

It could be stressful for me,so we leave the park and continue the adventure in the other site. Until we reach the mountain and seen this cute stockroom house. Made of wood,with an elegant style and impressive size.

weekend pictures

We are lucky to have a nice weather when I took this picture.We went on fishing and I think this is the last time for the season. Lot of people went on swimming,ignoríng the cold water. After 2 hours spending in the waterside small rain dropping in.

We was on a hurry trying to be inside the car before the heavy rain come. But I have seen this beautiful..beautiful..rainbow in the sky.

Adorable color!red,yellow and blue that placed me decorated in the sky. It makes light up,lot of childrens clupping and jumping on my back. It's different colors gives the lonely skies a live.

I remember something when I was a child if the rain doesn't stop we shouted we need a rainbow! Then we form scissors in our both fingers pretending that we could cut it. Stop!the rain stop the rain!
