Christmas in Derawan Islands Part 9

Christmas in Derawan Islands Part 9 - The End

We arrived back at the resort and had a little bit of time for relaxing. We spotted several stingrays in front of our villa...

The next morning we were all packed by 7 AM and had breakfast at the resort. From there we got on the boat to go back to Tarakan. Miss Kiki and I had prayed to have good weather for our trip back, and God had protected us on the way and we got back to Tarakan safe and sound. It did not mean it was not a scary ride though, the waves were high... and it reminded me how small we are compared to Him.

It was when we arrived in Tarakan did we hear the sad news of the Air Asia QZ8501 flight that had gone missing that day. As I am typing this right now, 2.5 days later, they have found the plane and are evacuating the corpses from Java Sea. Please let me take this time to express our deepest condolences to the families and friends of the victims. May those who passed rest in peace and the ones left behind be given strength and comfort in these difficult times.

Below are the pictures of the rest of our trip. I hope you enjoyed reading my posts.

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan. I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

World of Ghibli Exhibition Jakarta 2017

A few months back I received an email about World of Ghibli exhibition in Jakarta. My skeptical brain immediately thought, "Aah, how good could it be... I've visited the museum in Mitaka and it's probably not going to be any better." Fast forward to August, a few of my Japan loving friends mentioned that rumours said that the displays are very good, made by Indonesians in cooperations with Ghibli representatives from Japan. In fact, so good that the Japanese company plans to take the displays and give them a home in Japan. Well hearing this from several different people definitely piqued my interest and I decided to check it out. It turned out that Miss Kiki and DH also wanted to go so I bought tickets from Traveloka because they had a sale. In the morning of our visit day, I asked Miss Kiki if she wanted to dress up as Kiki when she goes and she excitedly said yes. I made her a red bow headband with Cotton and Steel's Supreme Solid in Bandana ...
