A Week in Manado - Part 3

After our visit to Linouw Lake, we continued on to Bukit Doa Tomohon (Tomohon Prayer Hill). It was a hill top with breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains, with a chapel perched at the top. This whole area is privately owned, and it is the same owner as Linouw Lake.

It started drizzling so we didn't stay there for too long. We got a bit hungry, so we moved on to our next stop, Gardenia Country Inn. Apparently this inn was also owned by the same person as the other two. True to their name, their main attraction is a large garden area with countless types of flowers, most of them blooming at the time. I wonder if they bloom all year long. 

On the other side, their food was not that great. And it took forever to arrive. So I would recommend anyone to travel here to see the garden and have some drinks, but don't come hungry and better eat elsewhere.

She confiscated my phone and took lots of pictures


Our real dinner was supposed to be Ragey (pork belly satay) at Ragey Von Von but they were closed. :( So we went to Ragey Roy across the street. It was good, but not as good. 



We drove back to Manado after dinner just in time to catch sunset. I was not feeling that great so I stayed behind in the apartment while DH and my cousin went.









Stay tuned for more! Next is Lihaga Island

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...

Japan Trip June 2016 - Part 9 - Osaka

It was a super hot and bright morning and we were all packed and ready to ride the train to Osaka. We had no excuse to take a taxi so we walked to Kyoto Station... It was a rather short ride considering we moved cities, it was still around noon when we arrived at Osaka Station. The AirBnb property I had booked looked close to the station on the map, but it was further than expected. We were so sweaty by the time we got there, mostly because of our backpacks and our suitcases! I was very impressed Miss Kiki carried her backpack without complaints even though it was pretty stuffed by then. Taken from Osaka Station We had to change our wet and sticky clothes upon arrival, and after a bit of rest we decided to head out. First to Tenjimbashisuji Shopping Street listed on a tourist guide just over 1 km away. It was so hot and sunny I regretted not taking a hat for any of us. I was lucky I hadn't forgotten to bring my sunglasses. When we got there, we real...
