Snowflakes out of polygamy paper???

This is the conversation between me and a store clerk today.

me: Hi, do you sell origami papers here?
him: What? Polygamy papers???
me: O-RI-GA-MI papers
him: oh, origami papers. no, we don't

True story.

The reason I was looking for origami papers is because I am currently in the middle of making paper snowflakes, for no particular reason, except coz Christmas is right around the corner and I miss snow. So, the next best thing? Paper snowflakes.

So, I started making a few, and decided to use some to decorate a present that I'm giving to my friend later this week as an early Christmas present.

I like it! Hope my friend will like it too. Happy early Christmas present giving to you who celebrates it!!!

Winter winter, how I miss you

Back when I was still attending college, I mostly loathe winter because I had to walk everywhere on campus, and the thought of putting all those layers of clothes and taking it all off when you're in class for 40 minutes, then you have to put it all back on to walk 10 minutes to your other class is just too troublesome. Not to mention the day after snow sludge created by cars: it's brown, it's wet, it's yucky.

But nowadays, when it's always summer all year long in Indonesia, I do miss winter, especially during the holidays. The images below summarizes pretty much everything that I miss about winter. Bonfires, hot cocoa, ice skating, Christmas lights, and of course, wearing the beautiful (and bulky-so-you-don't-have-to-suck-in-your-stomach) winter clothes. Beautiful pictures! And how cute are the kids in their winter clothes?? Aawww!
