Airline food - Philippine vacation

Traveling alone to Philippines i felt happy and sad.

I was very happy knowing that i would spend time with my family for a couple of weeks. I was looking forward to it even if i did not even decided yet. I had a hard time deciding if i would go home or not. As my husband said, "this would maybe your going home alone for a long time". I never been home alone and never traveled alone (except my first business flight to Sweden for the first time). I decided to going home sunday afternoon and my flight was monday afternoon. OMG it was panic :).

I and hubby always traveled together and traveling alone to Philippines made me think many times if i could do it by myself. It's not that i could not do it myself but i am and always depended with my husband.

But i decided to go out from my comfort zone and traveled to Philippines alone. I was very happy spending time with my family but i wished that my husband were with me.

Anyway, here are some of my meal on the plane. The first two pictures were served on my way to Philippines and the last one was going back. I'm not really an avid fan of the plane food but i should be thankful. 

Rhodos Greece food

In some of my previous post, i posted our Poland vacation foods.

This time around i am posting our Rhodos Greece dessert/foods. We were in Greece for a two weeks vacation last year. We had a package vacation (tickets, hotel and foods) but even if we had a package vacation, we still went out to some restaurants and ate their famous gyros. All i can say about that gyros is "YUMMY".

Happy weekend everyone.

Filipino bread

Who don't want to eat filipino bread?

These picture were taken during my school research in Philippines last November. Yes you read it right. I did researched my final exam/thesis in Philippine preschool. My thesis was about play and learning in preschool, a comparison study between Philippine and Swedish preschool.

Apart the reseacrhed i did, of course i ate almost every food i missed in Philippines. On my list was to eat Philippine bread. Oh i love them all.

I really wish i can learn to bake pandesal. I had tried few times but i fail few times. 

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

chicken salad

A chicken salad i served in the restaurant/cafe i am working with. I do used to do chicken salad ever time i work.

Does it looks yummy?

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

Yummy Sunday: Pancit bihon/sotanghon

The pancit bihon/sotanghon i cooked on my birthday is my Yummy Sunday for this week.

girls bonding today

I and my two Filipina friends did girls bonding today. They both free from their kids today so all of us were single in just a day...hahaha.

First stop was massage parlor. I and Shy did a full body massage to less the stress. After our massage, we went and ate our lunch in the newly opened Filipino restaurants. We ate a lot that made me feel the call of the nature. Because of it I wasn't able to follow them on our last bonding moment which was shopping.

Even if I didn't follow them, we had already a day full of laughs and chats... Our day was really bonded today. Thanks girls for the wonderful day today.

See you again on Saturday on my little birthday party. Hugs...
