Live life. Take photos. Drink good tea.

Way to Go!
One of the things I want for my daughter is the opportunity to try out many activities that will help shape her skills both mentally and physically. At the same time, I want her to learn discipline while enjoying the process of acquiring new skills. I enrolled her in karate after the summer, and I’ve…

Bigger and Heavier!
Whenever people ask me how this pregnancy is going, I always say that it feels very different this time because of the symptoms I’ve been experiencing. In my previous pregnancy, I dealt more with musculoskeletal discomfort rather than the fatigue and flu-like symptoms I have now. This time around, my nose has been especially sensitive…

Round Two
I never thought that I would experience pregnancy again. That’s why I believed that I was just sick during the past few months. I was surprised and shocked when the urinalysis results came back positive- and even more shocked during the first ultrasound appointment with the midwife. The fetus was already big! I was already…

From C-Scare to Shock
After months of hiatus, I’m finally back! Despite my hectic work schedule, numerous doctor visits, and a couple of trips to the ER, I’m doing completely fine—and I’m truly grateful for that. However, before things returned to normal, I became sick, burned out, and lethargic. Despite my efforts to exercise and regain my health and…

Overstimulated
I think some people believe I’m starting to become antisocial these days. But no, I don’t hate anyone—I’m not the Grinch. I just need my space to unwind after long hours at work. Sometimes, that can take hours, days, weeks, or even months! To recharge, I sleep as much as I can and pamper myself…

Thank You!
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been receiving compliments and positive feedback at work, and I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge them. As I’ve mentioned before, working with people is never easy because we all have different personalities. There are times when certain individuals can get on your nerves, and at moments,…

In a Battle
I am well-armed today, fully equipped in my woolen attire from head to toe. No, not for that battle-but for the battle against flu. I’ve been sick and practically tied to the sofa since the weekend, and I can feel the symptoms worsening today. It’s unfortunate, especially since I’m starting to get bored. But what…

The Bigger Person
No one wants to be the bigger person these days. It’s not a surprise though, because it’s hard. It’s energy draining. It requires a big amount of understanding the obscure . It hurts the ego and pride. You may lose something, or everything including yourself.

Two days. Two nights.
A couple of weeks ago, I won a raffle from Fjordline and received a free round-trip cruise between Bergen and Hirtshals. Although I’ve taken this cruise before, I decided to go again. Besides, my little one had never been on a cruise, so I thought it would be nice for her to experience it. The…

That Kind of Day
Some days really test you—today was one of them. It was a full, demanding day at the hospital. I spent a couple of hours working with clinical patients, assisting the radiologist during biopsies and ultrasound-guided procedures. I usually handle it well, but today something felt off. As soon as I stepped into the procedure room,…

Clear Weather
What is your favorite type of weather? The timing is perfect for our cabin trip to Kvamskogen this weekend! The weather looks great—clear skies and sunshine. Kvamskogen is just an hour’s drive from Bergen and is popular among those who love cross-country and slalom skiing. It’s also one of the favorite cabin trip destinations for…

Winter Break 2025
Nothing fancy about this year’s winter break, but we’re grateful to see family again and escape the hustle of city life. The ice appeared thin, but it was stronger than it looked. Small catamaran boats couldn’t pass through it without risking damage to their aluminum surface. We visited the cemetery, and I learned that in…
