A Date with Eyra and Freya on the First Two Days of School!!!

Yup..it's pretty crazy. I knew that it's the first day of school..sort of. ....after a month-long winter break. But there's this one particular movie that we hadn't seen, yet. 

this is it. We didn't have a chance to catch up with the continued narratives of this human-vampire love stories seen from the eyes of wonderful rendition of what's not impossible. 

The movie was ..of course..dubbed in Korean, for the kids would easily understand Korean than English. *sigh* but then...that's simply because they're getting used to talking and thinking in Korean. haha....I mean...it's their SPONGE-like nature...that they prefer Korean language....since it's their environment.

Ok..the story was that...we missed the movie when it came out last year...

so...once it came out again...I didn't want to let it slip again. Though it's screened at the CINEKIDS hahaha...I did my best to reserve 3 tickets for me and my daughters. And we did.

Boy...it's a small screen suited for children. and..hmm the lights weren't turned out during the whole movie....for the kids might get terrified when the lights were off. Yup..that's CINEKIDS.

anyway...we did see the Monster Hotel 2...a movie firstly appeared last year. But..since we didn't have a chance to see it, we did see it on Jan. 26. 

It's basically a multicultural family hahahaha...yup다문화가정에 대한 영화다. simply hilarious.

I got to pick Eyra from school at 4!! and the movie started at 4.15. and boy oh boy....had we not taken a cab, we would've come late. Even so, we did COME late to the theater. The good thing was that...we DID see the first 10-minute of the movie on TV ad....preview..so practically we didn't miss anything....

The kids loved it. It really taught us what a family made of different background should look like and should behave, act out, think in the face of adversity.

oh,,,sound rough and tough..nope..the movie's practically funny and easy to crunch...^^

Eyra's Busy Days before Winter Vacation

In the class...presenting a quiz

...where she dazzled her peers.

...ice skating...

Color clay making...

...even the smallest love...made out of rice!!!

Snow Sled & Snow Tube Time...

Along with Eunbie and her boyfriend, and of course...Angga, we took the kids to Ttukseom Resort to have a snow sled, wait..snow tube party..^^ It's the cheapest and the nearest from home. 

Lunch, first..everyone? sure! 

Indonesian and Korean food  all mixed up on a table...to boost our energy to play harder on the snow. 

What more could we expect? The sky & weather: perfect.

Winter vacation would not have been complete without snow-related activities.

But..boy..oh boy...the queue!!!! 

Not to mention that we got to bring our tube by ourselves up on the way to the top....^^

but..hey..that's the fun thing about it, too. 

From above, we could see that this snow-sled area is actually an outdoor swimming pool in SUMMER. 

Right...but they changed it into SNOW world in WINTER. 

Located at Subway line 7, Ttukkseom Resort Station. It's the nearest from where we live. 

Freya....grab a grip hold of your tube, dear!!! 

Bored of tubing? what about...this? 

I wondered if adults were allowed to do this, though...hmm 

But..this one, for sure...is designed for both kids and adults alike.

And we did have some fun.

Another Winter Vacation.

Miss the Time We Had in Bali ..Last Year's Winter :-D

This Winter..we're not planning on going back home to Indonesia....ㅠㅠ

That's why upon looking back at our pictures..we found these pictures...when we spent our time in Bali. 

Well..who would not want to spend a tropical getaway in Bali?

And..it's winter...in Seoul. I think it'd be nice to enjoy the warmth of the tropical paradise even for just a week.

Like what we did in our last year's trip to Bali Bird Park. 

A great outing, indeed.

in a lush green tropical park like this one.... 

or..got lost in the Monkey Forest...  

deep into the jungle...

exploring the temples... 

or..

relaxing on the beach..

and...walking @ Bali Beach Walk... 

 

All memories...remain ....and what a great 'winter' vacation in the tropics:-)

PH (pae-ha:) Stories @ Jogja

Guess...we missed the PH in Jogja. (suddenly...I became delirious^^)....Yup, it's been almost three years since the last time we had PH Time. Frankly..one of the reasons was simply because we never had one in Seoul. So, when I had a chance to meet Nana, my colleague, ..the only place that popped out of my mind was..well, PH.

And..since Eyra & Freya also wanted to meet her (affectionately lovable) eonni a.k.a. baby sitters (no..no...my students, Beth & Dewi whom they met in Seoul), why not asked them to join us @ PH? * Thanks girls..for taking our daughter to Timezone and let us enjoy our dinner. ^^

We might as well .....meet..greet...chat...and catch up what we'd been dying to share for the past two years...(c'mon...like there's no such thing as Whatsup ...and Facebook...

 or Path?) ^^

Then..another time..different location..but still @ PH^^, we had lunch along with my other colleagues. Yes...'spending time' at PH @ Jogja was so much fun.

oops!

And it's Lunar New Year's celebration...and we surely did take some time...

to seize the moment.

*Thanks, friends*
