Creative Mind : How to make Accessories holder (old bathroom hanger)

Hmm cool idea! now I can hang more of my accessories :) 

As I go crazy with scarves and accessories that I've been collecting these year I come up to think on how I can take care of my accessories too! how can I make it last long .... so now, I will share you guys what I did on my precious personal ornaments lol :) For years of using accessories like necklaces (beads or pearls), bangles, cuffs and earrings I never really think of organizing it lol. After using it I just stashed it into a small pouch and didn't think of damaging them :( I just realize it when I saw some of my necklace being tangled with each other,some of my bracelets has a missing beads, lost earring nuts and pearls :( argh! I must do something about it!! LOL!! hehe

So I went into the bathroom and whola!! I saw our old towel holder !!I immediately hang some of my accessories :) (picture above) Well Im sure I need more of that hanger hahaha but for now I find it look nice helpful :)

Creative Mind : How to make D.I.Y Scarf Holder (Shower Curtain Rings)

I love scarves so much and I have a bunch of those in my closet :) some of it is comes as a gift from my friends back home with different colors, length and fabrics :) they know I'm little obsessed of it haha. I just love wearing them so much, they can be the perfect accessory on our outfit right? at work, school or on cold winter season :) 

They just keeps getting bigger and bigger and now they were taking up too much room in my closet haha I just feel tired and lazy folding it every now and then hahaha So I decided to search online for a simple DIY solution about my problem!! :) and whola!!! all you need to have is just a shower curtain rings and a wooden hanger!! problem solved haha

it only cost 10 kr in loppis :)

Just attach the curtain rings onto the wooden hanger, and hang your scarves through the rings. 

TIP : 

• I choose wooden hanger instead of plastic one because if you have many scarves to hang on it has a tendency to bend/slanted the plastic hanger plus it will roll the rings and pile your scarves on top of the other)
• You maybe want to glue the rings to the hanger so you know how many scarf you want in one hanger.
• You can put glue or tape on the opening part of the ring so your scarf will not snug on it when you pull it.
• If you are so patience to glue a yarn to cover the ring to decorate it (feel free to do it)

Here is what it looks like now :). I have 3 hanger on my closet and i can't wait to buy more scarf  hihi!

Wrinkle-free :) so organize and clean

It nice to look how organize they are on my closet :) Not only they will stay wrinkle-free, but now I can easily choose what I will gonna wear :). So simple and inexpensive too!! A must-have for any scarf enthusiast like me .... :)

SFI (Swedish for Immigrants) here I come!! :)

My schedule, My books and CD.... IM READY!!! :)

This coming Monday is my first day at SFI (Swedish for Immigrants), a language program to help immigrants like me to learn to speak Swedish and become familiar with everything culture and stuff, Oh God help me and guide me, Goodluck to me!! :( I need to adjust my self and start to say "back to school again!" 

Last week, I already talked to one of my teacher, she just ask me some questions and told me everything about SFI. I called it little interview haha :) She said that the purpose of that little interview is to determined which class I would be because there are 4 levels in SFI(A to D!). As  I've had formal education back home and somewhat can speak another language (english) aside of my mother language which is Filipino :) they put me in level C-D. She also said if I pass this level up to level D, I can continue to a more advance course and continue again into university course type called SAS (Swedish as a Second Language). Classes are divided accordingly where in Level A-B is for people who have had little education in their homeland, Level B-C is the general start point where the student has spend many years of schooling, but not familiar with the alphabet while Level C-D is for the student with college education and who wish to pursue further studies in Sweden.

To be eligible for free classes you must be a legal resident of Sweden at syempre dapat my personal number at ID na kayo :). Goodluck to me! baka dumugo ng bongga ang ilong ko hahaha No matter what!! kayang kaya yan at walang hindi nadadaan sa sipag at tiyaga :) hehehe

Applying for my Swedish ID card :)

My husband and I went to Skatteverket in Trollhättan yesterday to apply for my Swedish ID card because even if I already have my personal number to prove my personal identification is not good enough. Whether I like it or not, one of the most important things I should have here is that personal number and Swedish Identity card or any approved form of ID's plus I need it para sa SFI ko (swedish lesson). Living here without any approved ID card can get annoying and irritating promise,no joke! duh! malay ko ba sa mga ID diba.. haha satin naman kasi sa dami nating ID basta valid pwede na dito sobrang higpit nila pagdating sa mga documents.

Come to think of it! this card is very important as it allows you to open a bank account di basta basta na passport lang, when you use your credit card (if you have any, good thing di ako nagamit ng mga creditcard haha), taking SFI (Swedish Lesson), when collecting your big package, post or padala from abroad, when collecting prescription medication sa mga pharmacy na di rin basta bastang bibili ka lang ng gamot sa botika hahaha. Having this card will make your everyday life transactions more efficiency.

Back again, make sure you have payed the application fee amounting 400 SEK before applying and they will surely ask that on you ;) when you go to their office. Pay it online is much better just bring out the payment printout, your documents, your self and be ready for another kakakabang experience Lol!. When moving to Sweden, you will gonna love the word efficiency and punctuality hahaha (sobrang husay ng kanilang mga proseso na hindi mo na kinakilangang magkanda-hirap hirap sa pag pila at pag apply at ng kung ano anong document mo. Hindi rin uso ang salitang Late napaka-punctual nila lagi on time pag nalate ka asahan mo na ang reaction sa mukha nila at siguradong mahihiya ka hahahaha).  

So when we get there, they just ask for my passport and residence card. The woman who process my application checked my documents at sobrang mabusisi hahaha plus konting kwentuhan whola! picture lang, kinuha yung aking height at pinapirma then tapos :) haha. 

she said na makukuha ko daw yung card after 6 weeks which i don't know why 6 weeks lol.. pero nothing to worry naman daw. Excited lang ako hahaha mas nauna pang dumating yung IKEA membership card ko hahha so hanggang dito nalng muna and I let you know sa aking card :)

DISCLAIMER: This is only based on my experiences and my little knowledge that I gained through out the years. Remember that the results is always depend on your particular situation, the time prior to applying/time-frame/ decisions are varies as long as you meet all the criteria they need. All opinions are honest and my own! Feel free to ask question and no complicated question please. I try my best to answer you back :)

Things I learned in Sweden which I love :)

Switching cultures and country will definitely makes you become more observer 😊. You will notice lot of things that really stands out from the rest. Its also help you to learn and absorb new knowledge from your own mistakes 😊 so I just want to share you guys why it is so nice to live in Sweden 😊

So for now, I come up with this."Things you will surely love in Sweden" 😊.If you feel i forgot something feel free to add lol :)

• Drinking water straight from the faucet is a big yes :). Tap water is clean, fresh and safe so no worries guys ;)

• You will definitely never get sick of Swedish meatballs, because meatballs is love love love (meatballs with macaroni and yogurt on the go Lol).
• You also put tomato sauce(as in heinz tomato sauce on your macaroni and meatballs) amazing hehehe but yummy!

• IKEA - Land of all fabulous furniture and home decorations :) You think nothing of spending all day long at IKEA looking for a piece of furniture. Shop till you drop :)

• Princess cake is not only for royals but for everyone!! You will never say NO for this yummy cake..Delicious cream with marzipan is a delight!! 

• Walking with your dogs is now your everyday routine :) in street, in park, in nature ..at night, morning, everyday!! :)

• You pronounce ICA as eeka :) not I.C.A . Grocery stores charge you for plastic or paper bag in an effort to keep waste low and encourage people to recycling. So before you throw out that plastic bag, you may want to reconsider first :)

• Dont be surprise if you see shrimp in a cake :) they call it Smörgåstårta a SANDWICH CAKE. Dig in with this delicious swedish cake :)

• Summer is never ending sun :) midnight sun is still on :). Summer is maypole and wreath and dance.

• There is a day for your candy. Saturday in Sweden are special day for kid like me hahaha. They call it Lördagsgodis as saturday candies.

• Where there is a day for Cinnamon rolls/Kanebullens dag.

• When you starting to sit in front of your TV and play BINGO :)

• Snow during winter is wonderful and beautiful. It sensible to eat ice cream and have conversation outside when its -10C lol!

• Right of public access, which gives everyone the freedom to roam and enjoy nature to camp, pick berries and mushrooms. Blueberries (Blåbär) and Raspberries (Hallon) are my favorite.

• Your coffee consumption exceeds 6 cups a day (brewed or instant). You probably change coffeemaker each year :) and when you hear coffee.. it's FIKA time. Coffee is also too weak of taste if there is less than 10 scoops per pot!!

• When Wind turbines is just everywhere. It's fascinating to look it outside on your cars window :). 

• When you starting to enjoy walking out in the woods/forest and searching for a moose/elk :) hide out! 

• Where you can see fries over your pizza :) and eat it with knife and fork :P lol

• The wonderful man I married is SWEDISH :)

It's fun to know everything :) Can't wait to discover more and share it to all of you guys!:) If you can add something let me know.. and I would happily add them in :)

Sweden: I got my Personal Number/Personnummer

Welcome to Sweden (Välkommen till Sverige)

It's been two months now since I left and kiss goodbye to my family and friends back home and I can't imagine how time flies so fast. I can still remember my first day in Sweden year 2010 where everything is so different from my home country, everything is so new to me :). Travelling alone was a new experience, and I was so scared and nervous as it was my first time abroad. Anyway, I'm so happy to be back again after my last year visit. Spending time with my husband   now is so priceless :) He is my number one priority as of now.

Aside of planning out to go to school this year, my husband told me that I need to have my Personal number/Personnummer first. They say once you moved and live in Sweden you must apply for your Personal Number that enable you to unlock your new world haha :) because without it you can't do anything, without it is impossible to do the most important task like going to the doctor or hospital, attending to school, finding a job or even opening your personal bank account. Amazing right? I wonder how important it is!!! that tiny little number will surely makes a difference and rock your life :)

Anyway, let me tell you guys first what is Personal number/Personnummer. Swedish Personal number is a unique identification number that is based on your birth date and will remain the same for your entire life in Sweden. This number allows you to become part of the Swedish system and serve as your personal identification. So when you received your residence permit you are required to register with the Swedish Tax Agency or Skatteverket. This population registration which everyone living in Sweden must register for to be entered into the system as a tax-paying resident.

My husband and I went to Skattverket in Vänersborg last month to apply for my personal number with all my surprise it was fast and easy transaction :). I armed myself with confidence and documents and whola!! everything run so smooth :). They gave me a form to fill in and asked for a copy of my passport, marriage certificate, residence card and ID's. They say it takes up to week but for me it only count 3 days and I got my result. I received a mail from them and guess what!! this was the very FIRST ever letter I got since I move to Sweden with my name written on it was a good feeling...hihi :)

My first ever letter :)

I know this is only just a start :) So guys, make sure you are updated and aware of everything surrounds you. Know your rights and duty as a new citizen in a foreign country. Sabi nga nila kelangang maging matapang, mausisa at matibay ang loob :) hehehe  so until next time... back to school!!!! :)

Sweden here I come - (NAIA terminal 3)

Today is my big day! Sweden here I come :)

After all the hardship I have been through in processing all of my documents..finally!! I can say at last!!! hehe with my tickets, certificates and approved visa I knew there was no turning back. This is it! 

Moving to a foreign country is one of the biggest transitions I can ever make. Thinking about the place without a good job and not knowing single word of their language is really frustrating and hard for me. I know I made my decision right and whatever comes my way I will take it as a new experiences and challenges. Anyway to cut the story short here I am again, traveling all by myself. I just want to share you guys what to do before your international flight para maiba naman :)

Departure date: Oct 26,2014

Departing from NAIA terminal 3 is really annoying mapa-ano mang terminal kayo make sure to check-in as early as you can po nowadays! sobrang traffic pa papuntang airport at ang mga mahaba-habang pila na iyong dadanasin bago ka makasakay sa eroplano mo eh sakit kagad ng ulo para sa mga first timer dyan eto ang maibibigay ko na tips!.. hehehe 

Important things to remember before our departure date:

1. You need to be at the airport at least 2 hours before you schedule departure time. Mas maaga mas maganda para mas marami kang time to check your things :) kasi in case you forgot something important at home, you still have time to go back and get it diba.

2. DOCUMENTS - Passport, printed flight itinerary/tickets, visa and CFO certificate. Lahat ng importanteng document nyo dalhin nyo na :) ilagay nyo na ito sa isang envelope.

3. MONEY - Don't forget that you need to pay 550 for your terminal fee and 1,620 php in cash for your travel tax only if you bought your ticket online. (Bago kayo mag check-in magbayad muna kayo ng travel tax dahil minsan mahaba ang pila don)

4. PEN - wala po kayong mahahagilap na ballpen dun na libre at nakakalat.. depende kung manghihiram kayo sa ibang tao. Sobrang hassel kung pproblemahin nyo pa pati ang ballpen lang :) baka ito pa ang maging dahilan at maiwan kayo ng eroplano nyo hehe
