Community of Sweden

I recently joined the official online Community of Sweden. It is a global community where English is the official language. It is also a place where you can meet new friends, share photos, read stories, join forums, watch videos and get tips on almost everything about Sweden. For me, this is the best and the quickest way of discovering more about the country I refer to as my home away from home. I have all the members there to thank to for their nice stories, photos and tips which inspires me to continue to explore this country. For those of you who are thinking to visit or move to Sweden, check out the Community of Sweden. Here is also the link for Sweden's Official Channel on You Tube and here is the link for My Page.

Backstory

I am a member of the Swedish-Filipino Organization in Jönköping but because of the distance and my schedule at work, I cannot always attend their activities. Anyway, one othe their recent activities was to meet the Mangyan Students who arrived in Sweden last week. This was organized by the Pingstkyrkan in Tenhult (Pentecostal Church) and Åsa and Janne Fredriksson, a Swedish couple who are very active in doing missionary works in the Philippines, particularly, The Mangyan Tribes in Mindoro. Their schedule to visit Stockholm and the Philippine Embassy was last Saturday. It was a coincidence because I met the group just outside the gate from where I work. It turned out that they are on the way back to Jönköping but according to Åsa, they got lost. I thought they might be looking for the subway that's why they ended up near the building where I work. Anyway, even if I didn't meet them in Jönköping, I was able to meet them here in Stockholm just outside my place of work and said hi to some of the students. It was a brief meeting and it was a coincidence! :-)

There is so much going on. We are still not finished with the renovation of the bedroom. We've got new wallpapers now and the new closets are already in place but there are still so much to do. Well. it's Ken who has the call for everything in the bedroom.

Our PC won't start this morning so it is definitely broken. It think it is the motherboard again who's not working. So no photos for the meantime since I have all of them in the broken PC. Well, well.

A friend is coming over for a dinner tonight. She was my classmate at my Swedish Language class for 8 years ago and she is from Peru. She is in Stockholm visiting so I invited her for a dinner.

My schedule for this week is just work, work and work (Tuesday to Friday) but we are going away this weekend. We will drive out-of-town to Skillingaryd to attend a 50th birthday celebration.

Have a nice week everyone!
