Swedish foods/ delicacies

Since i am done with my preschool course, it's time for me to stop working at the cafe where i was working for more than 4 years.

I was working in one of the cafe just nearby my school and it ended just last january 2016. The reason behind was that, i had enough school works in front of me that i did not even had enough time for my husband. Nevertheless i am preschool teacher so i could easily find a job in some preschools.

Well anyway, here are some of my favorite foods at work.

flowers from my bosses

swedish meat balls with sauce and mashed potatoes with salted cucumber and cherries

beef and mashed potatoes with cherries

cooked potatoes and schnitzel with garlic sauce and lemon

my typical lunch, fried rice, chicken baked in the oven, sallad/vegetables and  bearnaise sauce

baked potatoes, fried fish and  spinach sauce

my colleague bake pizzas and this one was my favorite

My breakfast... typical swedish "lussekatt"very popular every christmas season

Snack time... Semla is popular every summer

work foods

my work

Finally, I'm working!!!!
As I mentioned here few times, I'm working in Gothenburg post office every December. It's what we call "julvikarie" Christmas/December job. I really like my work there.

I'm really thankful to my Filipina friend who referred me to that work. She's working there in post office and she referred me. But her reference never ended there. Just last week, she referred me to her other work.

She has two work (Goteborg post office and in Jakob cafe). Her boss trusted her when she said she would refer a friend to work with there too. So everything happens. Tuesday and Wednesday, I did my two days training.

Supposedly I will start on February but due to my good performance last two days of training, I will start on January 21. And directly I will be taking responsible for all the kitchen work. From preparing the 10 kinds of sandwiches, to some hot foods, vegetable salad and etc.

It would be a big responsibility but I know I can handle it. My trainer (my friend) trained me very well. I even dreamed my work to be. I'm just very excited to work. This is my first ever regular work. I will be working weekend since I'm in school.

Feels really good knowing that I can earn from my own hard work. Thank you so much Jen for the help and for being such a good friend to me.

some of the sandwiches i prepared

beauty rest

Yes!!! Finally I can sleep all night.

My December job ended today. As I mentioned before, I have a December job. It's only every December.

It was my last night today and my goodness, I'm very tired because I haven't had night sleep for 5 nights straight. I almost fell asleep at work but I was trying to wake me up for me to do my job. I drink lots of coffee, cold water and whatever drinks that could make me awake.

I managed it and now I'm done working. I'll be spending Christmas with my husband. We'll just at home because we are sick.

I can have my beauty rest tonight. Good night guys

very tired "me"

Oh God I'm very tired like hell.

We came home around 5pm from Frankfurt last Sunday. We were very tired but I didn't have time to take a nap before going to work. Yes my work started "regularly" last Monday. I am working at night at the Gothenburg post office so sleeping is not an option while working.

I'm working 3 nights on the row and goodness, my eyes really want to have night sleep (not daily sleep). But at least I don't have work tomorrow so I can have night sleep.

As of now, need to prepare myself for work. I'm tired but working with my co-workers are fun. We're just having fun while doing our job.

Have a good night sleep people.

busy schedules

Tomorrow we're flying to Frankfurt for our few days trip. We'll be back on Sunday afternoon.I will be tired on Sunday but I don't have a time to relax or sleep. We maybe home around 3pm. Then of course I must prepare for my husband food for Monday. I already booked time for our laundry on Sunday so I must put our clothes to the washing machine. In short I'll be very busy when we come home.

I cannot sleep either after doing household chores because I have work around 9.30 so I must leave home around 9pm. I'll be home around 7 am the next morning.

Sounds very hectic right? But I'm happy at least I have work. See you guys

beautiful sunrise

My husband leave very early in the morning to go to work. This is his daily routine. The other day, he woke up little bit late because he forgot to set an alarm.

While he was waiting for the bus, he captured this very nice sunrise view from his cell phone. It's really amazing. God really created beautiful creatures in the world.

Good morning guys.

writing exam

I did a writing exam yesterday. I found it difficult because it was about a family with work and kids. Explain on how to balance work times and children time.

Since I don’t have work and don’t have baby, I wrote it generally. I mean in the society, i see those families who are balancing their times in two important things in their life.

But after I gave my papers to my teacher, I thought that my explanations might be wrong because the instructions was about OWN family experience.

I hope it won’t be matter at all that I wrote in general. My teacher is little bit hard to get or hard to accept some explanations but I hope she would accept it since I don’t have my own baby and work.

Happy weekend everyone.
