Good Gracious, It's Greece! - #1 The Landmarks

-
A bunch of us, Indo gals and dudes, went to seek some real sun a week ago. By real sun, I mean the one that actually gives you warmth at your back. The one here in Manchester is fake, which only shows for decoration purpose. T____T
So we went and I love every bit of it!! I love it so much I'll break it down into three posts: The Landmark, The People, and the best part: The Food.

I am blessed to have the opportunity to visit these new places, deeply grateful for it. I'd like to share it here, hopefully you'd enjoy :)

Oia, Santorini
The most romantic place. Praying for a return visit someday. Amin.






White basic and blue ornaments, typical Santorini color design.



We ran around in Oia to find the perfect spot to take sunset pictures and found a quiet one. We were the only ones there, watching the sun set. Magnificently serene.

There are SO MANY orange trees in Athens! I love it, they make the street smell kinda sweet. We weren't sure if the fruits were edible, though, so we didn't eat it.

Hello! How's it going guys? Not all rainbows, reindeer, unicorns, and lollipops for me. But I'll survive. Today I'm going to do another post about manga. from Otoyomegatari - Kaoru Mori One of my all time favorite mangaka is Kaoru Mori. She's known for her manga Emma, Shirley, and most recently is Otoyomegatari or The Bride's Story. The last one, Otoyomegatari, is the most beautifully drawn manga I have ever seen. Oh-La-La!! The details are exquisite. It is sharp, charming, and realistic. Mori tells her story not only by words but most of the time through pictures. Loud ones. The other thing I love about her work is she often draws the smallest aspect of the characters' life but somehow relevant. Small aspects that you rarely see described by other mangakas. For example, the chapter about trousseau. Rather than describing everything with talking bubbles, Mori draws details and more details. Even the stitching process. Absolutely magnificent.

Cooking During Pandemic

-
 Due to the endless time spent at home, because of the corona virus, most people take up the hobby of cooking. I did too, for some time. But after I got pregnant, another impact of the pandemic I guess lol (BLESSING IN DISGUISE OK), I don't cook as much anymore. Because during the first weeks of my pregnancy I feel nauseous and vomit so much, I was very sensitive to smell and tastes.  I did made a youtube video of my cooking though. Who knows when I'll cook as much again in the future. Klik this link for the vid! https://youtu.be/dkY0KLennUM #didapuraja GEGARA CORONCES
