MOVING ON THE 31ST OF MARCH

Waaahhh...we're moving again to an old(built 1954) new house (just bought one). NOt really funny to pack & unpack the furnitures and all the things we have.

Entrance of the house.

You know what? it's not really long ago we move in this house were living in now. 2½ yrs ago for an exact calculation. Friends laugh at me coz i still have lots of stuffs that's still not in place. Like my arts to be hang, the lounge to be fix and bathroom shower cabin to be change to a lil bathtub, etc. Suddenly, we decided to buy a new house. An impulse buy? No återvando!!! we'll move again? Hopefully, this is the last time for awhile. I see to it, that the last move will be back in the Philippines. §:-) in my dreams.

Front view

Anyway, here's some pix of the new crib. Though pix aren't good as the people are packing their stuffs getting ready to move out.

This is the SPA or relax area.

2008 is the Year of the Rat!
There are three ways to name a Chinese year:

1. By an animal (like a mscot).
2008 is known as the Year of the Rat.
There are 12 animal names; so by this system, year names are re-cycled every 12 years. More.

2. By its Formal Name (Stem-Branch).
This year is the year of Wu Zi.

In the 'Stem-Branch' system, the years are named in 60-year cycles, and the Name of the Year is repeated every 60 years.
2008 is the 9th year in the current 60-year cycle.

3. Current year is Year 4705 by the Chinese calendar.
which is also known by its former name of Wu Zi.

VALENTINE'S DAY IS ON THE WAY, BUT HOW ARE THE WIVES OR HUSBANDS CHEATERS?

Well, well... Valentine's Day is on the air. The lover's images heart, chocos & cupid.
But don't let the pressure get you down. Along with the stress also comes an invaluable opportunity to impress her/him. A quick review of the following Valentine's Day myths might surprise you -- they may even burst some of your long-held beliefs about the holiday.


Hmmmm...how about those wives & husbands who cheats their partners? How will they celebrate this day? What a lucky creatures huh? Love by 2 lovers? I may say the wife/husband are lucky to have the cheater whilst cheater, also lucky that the wife/husband love the cheater more that the real one. Waaaahhh...grrrrr...am always screwed UP...My thoughts are always twisted! I don't know if I can explain both sides?

Anyway, dear readers! What can i say is that: INHOBBOK HAFNA DEJJEM GHAZIZ, no matter what...believe it or not. You know that well. And to the real man: ÄLSKAR DIG SÅ LÄNGE JAG LEVER!

SEEE, caught in the act! Am a cheater? LOL*** i might be crazy but that's the way it goes! My heart is twisted!
If I have a time to think and tell you some signs of a cheater, well, I will be back for another issue, ´bout it. I promised you will get an I C mode §:-)

Wedding Bells of Lars niece

Press here >"A NICE THOUGHTS FOR THE NEWLY WEDS"

WELCOME to Nicolaisen Family Daniel...


WHY DO PEOPLE WED ACTUALLY? WHY CAN'T JUST BE INLOVE AND BE LOVE? the author is to twisted, isn't she?

Well...here it goes the explanation:
The common element in a wedding is the assumption of husband and wife roles as well as the roles of the future parents. The wedding is a special moment that marks the beginning of a new generation, a new family and a life together. This moment is recognized with traditions, ceremonies and rituals including engagement and wedding ceremonies.

Hope to those who plan to marry, think million times before deciding to do so. No återvando, baby!!! Well, for us who respect the real marriage. UNFORTUNATELY, YOU STUCK & it sucks!!! ha ha ha...kidding!

First LOVE NEVER dies! says WHO?

Is this really true that our first love never dies?

Hmmmm...all first love, i pressume that this is so
special, that can't be explain, am i right?
For me, first love wasn't the first fling or the puppy love we had. In my experience, falling in love doesn't mean that that's really the real love. Am so much in love but you don't know if it's the hubby of mine or someone very special over the rainbow? *wink! Waaahhh... a bit complicated to explain.
**********************************
Dinner at home for 2. This is their entré, sallad w/ peta cheese & cheese rolls******************

Well, I don't think so. If you loved someone for the first time really hard, you will just stay friends after the relationship. I don't think the first one is the real one. First love may never die, but it can wander off. Things change and people change and people drift apart. The old feelings may still remain.

Recently, my sweet 16 yr old daughter celebrated the 1st year anniversary w/ her BF and 2 weeks later, they splitted. GEEEE!!! i was devastated too. I can't imagine one's child came and cried, body shaked and asked help bout her feelings? Really hard to see her tears falling down on her cheeks. How to explain to a 16 yr old that boy's will come & go?
******Fruit cake DESSERT made 4 the lovebirds****************

I was devastated & proud of myself that i handled to stay as calm as a lamb. When I was in her age, i can't say anything about my feelings towards boy's in my age. My mum was a bit of a tiger claws! So, in times of love & sadness? No way to share to her, or else "patay kang bata ka!".

What can you advice? Anything positive can make my day life easier.

THANKS!

Sound of Silence

To All people outhere who read my blogs:

I just want to let you know that I am just pretty well busy these past few days.

There are few reasons why:
First & for all, this is the time that my daughter will decide w/c course & which school she'll attend to, secondly. is my work that really need my full attention. I have to do some exams to be a certified AM and to tell you. am 90% on the way to fullfillment.

I have a very huge responsibilities and I must show my superiors that even an immigrant. a chinky eyed & petité lady that seems can't rely to can handle such responsibilities and lastly, am also busy with my health as I got an allergy and not just allergy though. But before i tell you this, we'll have to wait the result of all my medical exams.


However, NO PANIC, am actually fit for fight. OK?

Will write more soonest! c Yah in here

INDECISIVE FEELINGS to be 2 sided personality

Pls. *press* link to listen IMMIGRANT SONG by Led Zeppilin he he he...

It's hard to start to write this topic. Maybe many of you readers thinks that this issue is just a "tabboo" as other racists issue.

But, before you jump to your conclusion, i do hope you give me a chance to explain my part. I'm eager to receive both positive or negative feedbacks. Without this, world is in misery (only in my thoughts). + and + won't work so do - and - either, isn't it? + and - are the perfect combination. (D'Nics, your truelly a good support in all I had gone through)

First and for all, i have an asian background. I don't mind being called immigrant coz i am. Living half of my (YOUR)life to a foreign country isn't a game. While going back to where I (you) came from is more complicated. I can tell the real experience coz am doing this now. I feel lost when am in the Philippines and sometime i feel so stranger in the country coz for not living there for so long. Living in Sweden isn't easy either from the start. Language, mentality, people, etc. etc. Everything's different. So, i started a new life in my mid 20's. So far so good. I didn't experience such unpleasant refute, though am different from the crowd. The people think that am so petité, so cute. Funny!

Feeling stranger in your own country isn't a good sign as well as when your in the country your living in. What a culture collision!!! It's not funny! Imagine? One foot stuck to the foreign country and the other side stuck in the origin country. How it feels? AM SPLITTED INTO TWO. not easy indeed! Coping up the UPS and downs! ain't easy either.

In my situation, am so lucky having a very supportive family. Many whom i know have problems with their halves, the social contact and work.

The only thing i can say to the people who's in this situation is that, We have to adjust ourselves in everything and ways. Go out and mingle, show to them that you can handle the life and live in the new country. Be positive in any ways, if you encounter some problems, consult the professionals. Help is everywhere.

I guess, i said too much therefore I will stop being Tita Helen, but it's no wrong reading someone's experience. These can be the solution or maybe help others who really have problem tackling the situation.

See you soonest & have a happy reading! Thanks for having you here.

In Everything WE do, WE need a COMMUNICATION

One important thing in my life is MUSIC. W/out music, i guess life isn't that appealling. Music defines a thousand meanings & specially expresses one's feelings.

Music make my life easier. Awhile ago, i fall to the song of The Cardigans, one of my favourite swedish band.

Communication act & take various manners. It deal in a form of some respects, since they allow people with different views of a topic to learn from each other.

Pls be in mind: Always apply a good communication in your relations, families, friends and strangers to make a better person. Talk & listen, adjust, give feedbacks, accept criticism whether good or bad. These are a good communication.

"COMMUNICATION" *press here*

For 27 years I've been trying
to believe and confide in
different people I found

Some of them got closer than others
some wouldn't even bother
and then you came around

I didn't really know what to call you
you didn't know me at all
but I was happy to explain

I never really knew how to move you
so I tried to intrude through
the little holes in your veines

And I saw you
But that's not an invitation
That's all I get
if this is communication
I disconnect
I've seen you, I know you
but I don't know
how to connect
So I disconnect

You always seemed to know where to find me
And I'm still here behind you
In the corner of your eye

I never really learned how to love you
But I know that I love you
through the hole in the sky
where I see you

And that's not an invitation
That's all I get
if this is communication
I disconnect
I've seen you, I know you
but I don't know
how to connect
So I disconnect

Well, this is an invitation
it's not a threat
if you want communication
that's what you get
I'm talking, and talking
but I don't know how to connect
and I hold the record for being patient
With your kind of hesitation

I need you, you want me, but I don't know
how to connect
So I disconnect
I disconnect...

1st day at work from my Sickleave

HURRAY!!!
Jenny & Moi


Today is the first day at work!!! Looking forward? Hmmm…not really but in a way I missed my tasks. Crazy indeed, but I really love my stressy job, though.

Monica, Karin, Katja & Magnus



After a week, it’s nice to be back too. I was started to get bored at home. Now, am starting to tackle all the problems & hassles. My markets are a bit complicated but doing this thinkable job is a way of exercising your brain cells.

Lucky enough, there’s not much problem solving here today? What a nice & a good new week! Just 2 small disturbances & a little old interest claims, that I will compile (if I fancy the moment). Hmmm ... might be check later.


I do missed my nice colleagues, too! They’re supportive & good team players. Stressy but we enjoying what we're doing.
