Give it a whirl

Hi guys! 
So here I am writing a new post while drinking my hot cocoa. Today is so damn cold, I thought it should be warmer by now but Busan is a windy town since it's located near the sea and my University is located quite up high so the wind is just, well how can I say it, crazy!

Enough about the weather forecast, how's your day? Mine's pretty good despite of all the homework and project that's still waiting for me! (deep breath)

So you guys must be wondering where did I went for my 4 days holiday! No? Hmm well I'm still gonna tell you anyway hahahaha!
I didn't go outside Busan so I basically just having a quality time with my boyfriend. We cook together, watching movies, go to supermarket together, shopping, etc.

See quicker update on my instagram @petitecycys 

But not only that, I also went to the temple called 범어사 (Beomeosa) with my boyfriend and it's actually my first time visiting Beomeosa temple! I have been to a various temple but I have to admit this temple is really beautiful and breath taking! I will show you guys in a while *wink*.

Why did I went to the temple? It's because on 6th May, Korea's held Buddha's birthday celebration in every temples. But my boyfriend was worried that it will be too crowded if we come on the exact date so we visit the temple one day earlier! Thanks to my boyfriend clever strategy, there's not that crowded in the temple so we managed to took some photos!

Enjoy!

On our way to take a bus.


The place where you can hang yellow ribbon with your written message on it
for the Sewol Ferry accident (South Korean Ferry) victims :(

You can get the yellow ribbon for free here :)


Look closer! He held a little bird in his hands! (awww)


Deep Condolences




Tying our ribbons




We also prayed for those who died in the accidents :"( 

So heartbreaking...




We decided to strolling around and took some photos




Can you believe that all of these are made from paper? Cool!



OOTD shots


We just have to took some photos with the paper art as well!
"Happy Birthday, our beloved Buddha"

Boyfie acting all fishy (If you know what I mean)




And of course we have to took some photos with the lanterns as well!




After we had our lunch, we continue exploring the temple. It's pretty big!

These beauties!


 Couple shots!


How we get our couple photo done :P
(I wish we have a private photographer who will took our photos on our date though,
like a date snap kind of things)

“Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, 
concentrate the mind on the present moment.” - Buddha 



Too pretty! I wish I can hang one in my room :(



After we done exploring the temple we passed through a booth to make a bracelets. I have been asking to my boyfriend non-stop where do those kids get those bracelets and finally we found the place. 


Since foreigner and kids are allowed to make this, I got a chance to make one too! 
Unfortunately, Korean adults can't make one though. 
Now I'm really grateful that I'm not Korean lol



Well, this is called 떡 (Ddeok) in Korean or you can call them rice cakes. If you have tried Tteokbokki before you know what they taste like! (Except this one is not spicy or sweet) 
We basically just stamping the rice cakes so it's changed into a flower shaped one!



So chewy and yummy!

Hope you guys enjoy reading it ;)


Oh an by the way the next post will be about a little coffee shop that I found really interesting to share with you guys! So stay tuned xx





Love always,

Cafe 301

Hey guys! 
I'm going to write a short blog post today because I'm going away until 6th May and probably didn't have the chance to update my blog until then!
And for those who asking about my love story, it will be posted as soon as possible so please be patient. *wink*

So yesterday (Thursday) is labor day in Korea (and probably in other countries as well) so my University gave us one day holiday, which is great because I can finally have time to catching up with my friends.
So me and my two other friends went to a cafe called 'Cafe 301'. This is actually my first cafe that I visited when I arrived in Korea 2 years ago so it brings so many memories! And I'm thinking that maybe I should make a blog post about this cafe since it's so adorable! Unfortunately, I left my SLR camera back in Indonesia so I have to took the pictures with my smartphone. I hope the quality is not that bad :(

Well, let me stop talking and let you guys enjoy the photos taken by yours petite lady.


So vintage!



Statement shoes | OOTD

My gossip buddies 



Unique Coca-Cola bottles design!




Small space but really cozy!


You can take a pillow if you want to! (Just don't bring it home lol)



Our beverages

Hot cocoa with marshmellow


Lemon Ade

What do you think? This cafe is adorable indeed! But to be honest it's a bit too pricey than any other cafe :(
Well, at least they have a very good presentation skill. It doesn't hurt to come here once in a while but probably not a very good place to hang out every week. 

I hope you enjoy this short post and see you real soon lovelies




Love always,
Petite Little Lady
