Growling Lion and DIY Madness

Even before I discovered my intense like for fashion and started blogging, I already knew in myself that I muster enthusiasm for DIYs. I'm not pretty sure how and when it started but I assumed hanging around in my neighbor's dress shop had also influenced me. I could thread beads and make bracelets better than I could play street games during my preschool age. My passion for DIYs continue to ignite and I never feel more inspired everytime I visit my favorite DIY haven and explore fashion blogs.

Hope you'll enjoy this DIY/outfit post. Btw, you can view my DIY archieve here.

This DIY tutorial is very simple and you only need few materials such as silver beads in different sizes, spikes, needle & thread and scissors. Rummage through your closet and look for an old jacket to revamp.


Make a few holes with the use of scissors.
Insert the spikes.
Thread the beads until you fill in the spaces left. It would be better if you can use beads of different sizes and texture to bring out more drama to your piece.


So there! You will only spend less time than it actually looks like.

Day 2 in Bali: Kuta Beach, Nusa Dua and Tegalalang Rice Terraces

I had to be an eager morning person during our subsequent days in Bali so yes, you could imagine me, being reluctant to turn off my alarm clock and resist crawling back under the covers. I had to or else, none of us would bother to wake each other up and we would all miss the glorious morning sun at the beach. It's just that we really wanted to spend time at the beach every morning before our tour. There's still no crowd yet and we got to enjoy Bali like it's our private getaway.

Finally, we had a photo together! Thanks to the man who just happened to pass by. 

We couldn't contain our excitement as we left for Nusa Dua, an island known for its various water activities such as parasailing, scuba diving, riding on jet ski, banana boat or fly fish and ocean walking (you'll get to enjoy and walk at the bottom of the sea for 15-30 minutes, wearing helmet supplied with oxygen). Prices range from $35-$80 but they could give good discount if you're going to avail in group or venture atleast two watersports. We couldn't decide yet since they're all fun to try so we headed first to Serangan or Turtle Island.

It's just a few-minute boat ride from Nusa Dua but it already served as an amusement. There's a clear glass beneath the boat so we're able to see a spectacular view of the underwater. We also had a chance to feed these hungry fish.

They 're already huge but wait til you see the rest of the photos.

Turtles look completely harmless but their horned ridges are sharp enough to break off a finger so be careful when feeding one.

They're way heavy! We carried little turtles too and they would continue to swim in air and hit our hands, leaving them painful in a matter of seconds.

 There's still more to see in the island! Not only the turtles. . .

We had a great time! Well, we must because it's kinda pricey. You have to pay 100, 000 rupia for the two-way boat ride and entrance fee and give donations and tips. They are never compulsory until you reach this island. Donations are fine as long as the money is used for the well-being of the animals but to demand for a certain amount of tip?!  

We finally figured out what suited us best: parasailing

They'll give you instructions so you have to listen well while you're above the skies.

The longest one minute of my life if I estimated it right. . . :DDD

Grilled meat and seafood for the hungry tired souls 

My forever favorite avocado smoothie to quench my thirst

Our next stop was the Tegalalang Rice Terraces. The place is not only exquisite but it is also a representation of the people's creativity and hard work. 

Thanks for reading! It's just the first part of our second day so keep in touch! FOLLOW ME: TWITTER | TUMBLR | BLOGLOVIN
