My bitterballen,
You have been working so hard these past few months. Adjusting to new schedules and activities, practicing new dance techniques and moves and adding more hours to your study time.
I look at your face every morning while you are sleeping peacefully and I really do not have the heart to wake you up. I have been pondering if we made the right decision this year.
But I see the...

My dear kimchi,
What a crazy new schedule you have! Four dance classes, a test prep every Saturday morning, extra study time on Sundays, and getting home a little later than you used to because of the distance of your school.
How come you have a busier schedule than I do? This year is no joke.
I said, "Oh boy!"
You said, "This year is going to be awesome!"
Your motivation and...

Then...remember what you did to encounter those. You worked hard. You were being yourself. You were honest. You were kind. You were being helpful.
And look at what you had accomplished at the end of the school year.
Remember when I cried...
Sadranan Beach, Gunung Kidul Yogyakarta

Sadranan Beach in Gunung Kidul is highly recommended as a beach to go snorkeling.
But it was almost sunset when we arrived, and Jo decided she just wanted to play in the sand.
Online reviews claim this beach as a secluded beach. However, judging from the rows of vendors that rent snorkeling gears, I am guessing this place could get crowded during holidays and weekend.
Sunset at a beach is always...
Taman Sari & Sumur Gumuling, Yogyakarta

Our first girls' only trip and we were beyond excited!
For our first trip, we picked Yogyakarta. Our parents often took a road trip to visit our grandparents during long school holiday and Yogyakarta was often on the list of cities we stopped by.
I always love Yogyakarta and will always love this city. It is rich in culture and history and it is the home to talented artists and glorious.
We flew...
