On the first day of my holiday, I decided to stay home and bake cookies. The kitchen turned into my little workshop as I mixed dough, measured chocolate chips, and rolled everything into perfect little balls. Soon, the sweet smell of freshly baked cookies filled the house. I ended the day with trays of golden cookies, a messy kitchen, and a big smile on my face.

A few days later, I treated myself to an adventure at Back Me to the Moon. The moment I stepped inside, I felt like I was walking into a dream. The café was filled with desserts that looked like art cakes shaped like animals, cookies designed like stars, and pastel colored pastries. I ordered a cute yellow duck cookie and a cupcake topped with edible glitter and slice cake. Everything was so adorable I almost didn’t want to eat it. I spent hours taking photos and enjoying the magical atmosphere.

On another day, I went to Pakuwon Mall to do some shopping. I wandered through the shops, finding new clothes, cute decorations for my room, and even some baking tools to fuel my growing cookie obsession. The mall was lively, and I couldn’t resist stopping by the grocery store before heading home to stock up on ingredients for my next baking session.

Finally, I wrapped up my holiday with a productive day at home. I put on my favorite playlist and started cleaning the house. It was a surprisingly satisfying proces sweeping the floors, wiping down surfaces, and organizing my space. The house felt so fresh and cozy by the time I finished.

As I sat on the couch that evening with a cup of tea and one of my cookies, I reflected on the week. It had been a mix of creativity, exploration, and productivity. Each day felt special in its own way, and I couldn’t have asked for a better holiday.

While waiting for my order, I admired the cozy ambiance. The warm atmosphere made me feel right at home. Soon, the tongseng kambing arrived.

The aromatic dish was presented in a small plate, filled with tender goat meat cooked in rich spices like turmeric, ginger, and pepper. I savored the complex flavors, intrigued by the blend of sweet, savory and spicy notes.

I asked the owner about the recipe. He explained that tongseng kambing is made with young goat meat, slow-cooked in coconut milk, sweet soy sauce and palm sugar. The cooking process requires patience to achieve tender meat and thick, flavorful gravy.

After devouring the dish, I felt satisfied and delighted. Tongseng kambing had become an instant favorite. This experience reminded me of the importance of exploring local cuisine and appreciating culinary traditions.

Every morning, I woke up late, something I couldn’t do during school days. I spent my mornings reading novels. The peaceful quietness of home made it the perfect time to enjoy my favorite books.

In the afternoons, I tried new recipes from the internet. I baked cookies, made pancakes, and even tried cooking pasta. Although not everything turned out perfect, it was fun experimenting in the kitchen.

Evenings were my favorite part. I watched movies and series with my family. We laughed, shared snacks, and enjoyed the cozy atmosphere together.

Although I didn’t go anywhere special, staying at home gave me a chance to relax, recharge, and bond with my family. It was a simple but memorable break, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

When I arrived at Umbul Ponggok, I was amazed by the beauty of the place. This natural freshwater spring has crystal-clear water that allows you to see everything underwater. The pond is full of colorful fish swimming around, making it feel like you are in an underwater paradise. What makes this place unique is its concept of underwater tourism. Visitors can snorkel, dive, or even take unique underwater photos with various props provided on-site.

Umbul Ponggok offers so many interesting features. You can rent props like a motorbike, desks, chairs, televisions, and even a tent for underwater photos. These props make your pictures fun, creative, and unique. If you don’t know how to swim, don’t worry. Life jackets and snorkeling guides are available for rent. It’s a safe and friendly spot for everyone, from beginners to experienced divers

One of my favorite moments was diving deeper to see the coral reefs and anemone fish up close. The experience felt surreal, as if I was exploring the ocean itself. The best part is that I didn’t need to travel far to places like Karimunjawa. Umbul Ponggok offers everything you need for an exciting underwater adventure right in the heart of Central Java.

After spending hours underwater, I took a break by the pool and enjoyed some delicious local snacks from the food stalls nearby. The environment is clean and well-maintained, with plenty of space to relax. Umbul Ponggok is not only a great destination for families but also perfect for couples or groups of friends.

This trip was truly unforgettable, and I highly recommend Umbul Ponggok to anyone visiting Central Java.

Umbul Ponggok is the perfect place. I can’t wait to go back and explore more of its beauty!

When we finally got there, we straight away looked for a dimsum stand. After we got it, we then went to Alun Alun Utara. And we stopped for a bit at this Angkringan to grab some warm drinks. Needed it so bad ‘cause we were freezing. While drinking, we also ate the dimsum we bought earlier. We just sit there, chat, eat, and enjoy.

After finishing everything, we decided to go home. And yeah, still no raincoat. We just went through the rain like that. Honestly, it was super fun, even though we were completely soaked.

After that, I also helped with ngelutis at the house of a young woman in my village. I didn’t do much there—just helped prepare snacks while chatting and hanging out with the others. It was pretty chill, and I liked spending time there.

Once everything was done, I was back at home most of the time. But in the evenings, I found something nice to enjoy—the sunset. From the front of my house, the view was so beautiful, with orange and pink colors spreading across the sky, creating such a calm and peaceful vibe.

Towards the end of the year, I went out with my cousin to Malioboro. We just walked around, talked about random stuff, and ate ice cream at a small shop near the railway tracks south of Tugu Station. The atmosphere was so lively, with street performances, colorful lights, and people enjoying their holiday vibes.

On New Year’s Eve, my family and I celebrated at home. We grilled corn in the backyard, laughed, and chatted while waiting for midnight. At 12, we lit fireworks together, and the sky was filled with colors. It was a simple but memorable way to end the holiday.

During the first week of the break I spent my time taking the "Jejak Kebangkitan Mataram Islam" tour in Kotagede until noon, in the evening I watched the JKT48 13th Wonderland concert via streaming, feelings of joy and emotion mixed into one.

The second week I spent my time playing with my friends by taking studio photos and eating seblak. The next day I spent time with family and friends to celebrate Mother's Day and also celebrate my friend's birthday, we ate together at a restaurant in the Pakem area.

In the third week I traveled to Solo by visiting the Sangiran museum, I first took the BST Tirtonadi-Sumberlawang route to the Sangiran museum, the trip was quite pleasant, the road was quite up and down, when I got there I took transportation to the front gate of the museum, I spent my time for several hours to explore 3 rooms then after that I stopped at a stall to buy ice cream, iced tea, and spider web cake. After being full I decided to return to Solo Balapan station by taking the BST again, in the middle of the road it rained very clearly so that we were stuck in traffic until we missed the train, but half an hour later after arriving at the station I took the time to pray first then after a few minutes waiting for the Palur-Yogyakarta KRL train to arrive and return safely to Jogja.

in the last week of my vacation I spent my time taking the "Jogja Capital of the Republic" tour which happened to be collaborating with Batik Lawasan with the theme "BATIK ROADSHOW WITH KAI" so after finishing the tour we continued to see the batik exhibition in the east lobby of Tugu station. During the new year my friends and I had a barbecue together to spend the last day of 2024 before changing to 2025.

this is a story during a fun vacation because usually I spend my holidays in Bandung with my extended family.

There are many small hut that people use for sitting and look at the sea. The sand is soft and clean, good for walk or play with your feet. The sea water is blue, very fresh to see. But be careful, because the wave here sometimes big, so not all area safe for swimming.

Around the beach, there are local people selling coconut and fried snacks. If you hungry, you can try it. The coconut water so fresh! I sit in the hut, drink coconut, and just enjoy the moment. At Watu Kodok Beach, I feel peace and forget about problem. This is perfect place for someone who want to relax and connect with nature.

If you like beach but don't want noisy place, Watu Kodok Beach is good choice. Simple but very beautiful. It make me want to come back again someday!

One of the highlights of Ibarbo Park was its collection of fascinating animals. Visitors could admire colorful parrots, exotic iguanas, graceful pink flamingos, slow yet adorable turtles, fluffy rabbits, and majestic horses. There were even more animals to see, creating a mini zoo vibe that especially delighted the kids.

But the park wasn’t just about animals; it also featured plenty of exciting attractions that captured everyone’s attention. The pink slide, for example, was a thrilling ride that gave an adrenaline rush and lots of laughter. There was also the monster house, full of surprises, and a refreshing swimming pool perfect for cooling off. One of the crowd favorites was the bumper car arena, where laughter and playful screams filled the air as people raced and bumped into each other.

After exploring and enjoying all the activities, hunger inevitably set in. Luckily, the park had food stalls offering a variety of delicious dishes to satisfy everyone’s cravings. The food wasn’t just tasty—it also brought a sense of comfort, making the experience even better.

This trip to Ibarbo Park wasn’t just a day out; it was a beautiful moment to bond with my family and create cherished memories that I’ll hold onto for a long time.

I have gained a lot of experience, I am very happy to be able to enjoy my youth by participating in many positive activities

Apart from playing with friends, I also spend time looking after my nephew. He is still small, very active, and full of curiosity. Even though it's tiring, I'm happy to see his cheerful face.

December 24th is the most special day because it is my birthday. I received many congratulations from my family and friends. My sister made a sweet surprise by giving me a gift. "Happy birthday, hopefully next year will be better," he said with a smile. I'm very moved.

Over the weekend my family and I came to one of my brothers' wedding.

Towards the end of the year, our extended family gathers for a barbecue. We burn various types of food. There are catfish, tilapia, sausages, meatballs and corn. I helped roast corn with my brothers. The atmosphere full of laughter and warm conversation made the evening feel special.

On New Year's Eve, we went to Denggung Square to see the fireworks display. The dark night sky turns into stunning colors when the fireworks are set off. Everyone showed off, photographed and immortalized the beautiful moment. I think this holiday is a bit boring because I'm just at home and around the house. But I'm also happy because I have a lot of time for my fa

mily.

My first wishlist on holiday is sleep late and woke up late like i use to want it while during school days i don't have time for having fun at midnight so i do it. It's not healthy but it's pleasuring me, because i couldn't think about school or homework.

Then for the last, i play a game with my sister and got excited for the new update, new custome for my favorite character. I thought holiday at home was boring but i truly love rotting on the bed, sofa, listening to music and talking with my family, even i still could eat mom's cook, that's my all the time favorite.

So that's all my experience last holiday, boring and plain but i still enjoy it.

The next morning, around dawn we continued our journey to the beach. we choose Seruni beach. It turns out that the journey to Seruni beach is quite far, around 1 hour. However, the trip didn't feel like it because the whole road was very beautiful, but to get to Seruni Beach there was no good road access. the road is still rocky and the ground is slippery. but after we arrived at the beach we were very satisfied. The long, slippery road was paid off by the beauty of Seruni Beach. a beach with a white market, equipped with large coral reefs, and hearing the calming waves. Don't forget, on Seruni Beach, there are lots of shells washed up on the coast. After we were satisfied enjoying the beach, we returned to continue our journey home.

My friends and I quickly made our way down a path toward the shoreline. The sound of waves crashing against the rocks made our hearts feel even more at ease. We ran along the beach, chasing a beach ball carried by the wind, or simply sat on the sand, enjoying the cool sea breeze. Several times, I watched birds flying low over the water, as if they were also savoring the beauty of the landscape.

After spending the day exploring, we sat together under a beach umbrella, enjoying lunch while gazing at the sun beginning to set. The view was breathtaking, with the sky transforming into a blend of orange, red, and purple that left everyone in awe. When the sun finally dipped below the horizon, the beach grew quieter and more romantic, making us feel like we were in another world.

In the evening, we gathered around a campfire, chatting and listening to the waves as they gradually calmed. This vacation wasn’t just refreshing for the body; it also brought a sense of peace to the soul that’s hard to find anywhere else. This beach truly offered an unforgettable experience.

My friends and I sat on the mats, enjoying refreshing drinks while chatting lightly. The surrounding scenery was very beautiful, with swaying coconut trees and coral reefs scattered along the edge of the sea.

As the sun began to set, the sky turned into a spectacular orange and red color. We sat together, enjoying the beautiful scenery while feeling the tranquility that is hard to find in everyday life. This beach vacation gave us the opportunity to unwind, feel togetherness, and enjoy the amazing natural beauty.

Morning arrived, we were ready to go to Seruni beach, it was quite a long journey but we enjoyed the trip because along the way the views were very beautiful, full of limestone hills covered with green and beautiful trees. When you want to get to the beach, the route turns into a small road like in the middle of a forest where the road is very rocky.

When we arrived at the beach, the beach was quiet, it felt like a private beach, but the beach still felt natural and had not been polluted by many people. The sea water is still blue, the coral cliffs are beautiful, the sea sand is cream to pink in color and there are lots of beautiful shells stranded and lots of crabs coming in and out of the holes in the house.

We then played in the sand with beautiful shells and calm waves there, and we didn't forget to take photos to immortalize the moment. After starting to feel tired, we rested at a stall on the beach, we snacked on Popmie and ate light snacks that we brought from home while enjoying the view. After we were satisfied with our meal, we continued playing in the waves for a while.

The heat was getting hotter and the waves started to rise and we got ready to go home. We struggle back onto the broken and rocky road again until we return to the big highway. We enjoyed the trip with great joy and satisfaction by eating delicious chicken noodles.

This vacation I decided to explore around the neighborhood. No need to go far, just around the house, but it turned out that the experience I got was very enjoyable.

That morning, I decided to walk around the housing complex. The fresh morning air, with the sun not yet too hot, gave a sense of peace. Several houses around seemed to be starting to be active, but the atmosphere remained calm. I took the time to sit on one of the park benches on the main road of the complex, enjoying a cup of coffee from a small shop on the corner. Not many people came, only a few neighbors were doing light exercise. It felt like finding peace again in a simple routine.

After that, I continued my journey to the city park located not far from the house. Although the park is not too big, the view of the artificial lake surrounded by trees made me feel much more relaxed. Several people were seen jogging or sitting relaxing, enjoying the sunny weather. I chose to sit on a bench near the lake, calming my mind while enjoying the fresh air that brought peace.

After a while, I continued walking to the traditional market which was only a few blocks from the house. The market is filled with a variety of local vendors selling all kinds of household needs, from fresh vegetables to traditional snacks. I bought some groceries, including tempeh and organic vegetables that turned out to be very fresh. While walking around, I met some neighbors who were shopping, and had a chance to chat for a while. The bustling yet warm atmosphere of the market gave me a sense of togetherness with the surrounding community.

In the afternoon, I decided to cycle around the housing complex. It turned out that there were many small roads that I had not had the chance to explore before. At every turn, I found something new, like a small garden filled with colorful flowers or quiet corners, perfect for stopping for a moment and enjoying the tranquility. It felt like walking in a place I had lived in for a long time, but there were still many new and interesting things.

This vacation in the neighborhood reminded me to appreciate the little things that are often overlooked. Without having to travel far, I could feel calm and reconnect with nature and the surrounding community. Sometimes, happiness comes from the simple things around us, and this vacation gave me the opportunity to feel it.

My story during the semester break, was at Christmas, I was invited by a friend to accompany him on Christmas, I was very surprised by the very beautiful Christmas day and it became my first impression at Christmas, besides participating in Christmas I also participated in the ml tournament at JCM and won 4th place.

During yesterday's school holidays, I went on holiday to Drini Beach in Gunungkidul, I went on holiday to the beach with my friends and family. I left home at 6 in the morning and arrived at Drini beach at 9. When it was afternoon I went home. Apart from going to the beach, I also went to several cafes in the Jogja area

My story during the semester holidays. I spend my vacation time only at home. At home I play on my cellphone and help my parents. I also play at home with my friends, usually my friends and I play games together in the evening, when my friends and I are bored of playing games we usually play cards until late at night. And during the day my friends and I also fish in the river. Last week my friends and I went on holiday to Pacitan. In Pacitan we went by boat on the Maron River and to Watu Karang beach. It was very enjoyable there because there were many very beautiful views. There we found a new experience, when we came home we were hit by a rainstorm. My friends and I arrived home at 12 at night

It was a sunny Saturday morning when I decided to spend my day helping Mom around the house. The smell of breakfast filled the kitchen as I walked in. Mom was busy preparing our meal, so I offered to set the table. After breakfast, I helped her clean the dishes, sweep the floor, and water the plants in our small garden.

Mom looked at me with a smile and said, "Thank you for helping me today. It means a lot." I felt proud and happy, knowing I could ease her workload even just a little.

After lunch, Mom surprised me with some exciting news. "Tomorrow," she said, "we’re going to Gunungkidul for a beach trip!" I couldn’t hide my excitement. I had heard so much about the beautiful beaches there, and finally, I would get to see them myself.

The next day, we set off early in the morning. The drive to Gunungkidul was filled with laughter and music. As we reached the coastline, the view was breathtaking. The clear blue sky merged with the vast ocean, and the sound of the waves was calming.

We chose to spend our time at a beach with soft white sand and crystal-clear water. I helped Mom set up a picnic spot under the shade of a tree. We enjoyed delicious snacks and cool drinks while feeling the sea breeze on our faces.

Later, I explored the beach, collecting seashells and taking pictures. I even built a sandcastle with some kids I met there. The water was so inviting that I couldn’t resist taking a dip.

As the sun began to set, the sky turned orange and pink, creating a magical scene. Mom and I sat on the sand, watching the sunset together. "This is perfect," Mom said softly.

The trip to Gunungkidul was a day to remember. Helping Mom at home and spending time with her on the beach made me realize how precious these moments are. It was a simple yet beautiful weekend that I’ll cherish forever.

Thursday has begun the year-end holiday that I have been waiting for. When I had the first day off, I just stayed at home and did productive activities such as helping with housework, exercising, etc. On this holiday, there are many things I can learn from how to handle problems that suddenly arise, be mature, and be competent in what I start.

In the middle of the month or during the holidays I visited my brother to socialize because on the twenty-fifth he celebrated his holiday, Christmas. When I was there it was so much fun and excitement Because I could have fun chatting and playing with my siblings. At that time I also planned to go to a shopping place during New Year's.

On December 31st, my brother and I went to the shopping center, where we had fun shopping and eating. After returning home, my brother and I grilled the beef sausages that we had bought. My brother and I really enjoyed it until the end.

During my holidays I don't go out much, I spend a lot of time at home and in the workshop with friends. When I'm at home I help my mother and father. When I go to the workshop I assemble my favorite racing motorbike that I built when I was little.

I assemble the engine with my friends while joking and laughing together.

During the end of semester holidays,

my friend invited me to go to Sungai Talang. The three of us went, but we got lost many times on the way. When we got there we took shelter because it was raining, after the rain stopped we went around and walked up the hill until we reached post two, when we arrived at post two we decided to go back because the weather was very cold and rainy. While on the road we decided to eat meatballs before going home.

On the first day, we visited *Malioboro Street*, the heart of Yogyakarta. The street was lively, filled with people shopping for batik, souvenirs, and delicious local snacks. I tried *gudeg*, a traditional dish made of young jackfruit, and it was amazing! That evening, we took a *becak* ride around the city to enjoy the view of the bright lights and the bustling atmosphere.

The next day, we went to *Borobudur Temple*, one of the greatest Buddhist monuments in the world. Climbing up the temple and seeing the sunrise from the top was an unforgettable experience. The view of the surrounding hills and the peaceful atmosphere made it truly magical.

During the week, we also visited *Prambanan Temple*, *Taman Sari Water Castle*, and *Mount Merapi* for a jeep tour. The jeep ride through the rugged terrain of Merapi was thrilling, and the stories about the 2010 eruption were fascinating.

On New Year's Eve, we decided to celebrate at Parangtritis Beach. The beach was crowded with people, but the energy was incredible. There were music performances, food stalls, and lanterns being released into the night sky. When the clock struck midnight, fireworks lit up the sky, reflecting beautifully on the ocean waves. I made a wish for the new year and felt so grateful for the moment.

The holiday in Yogyakarta was one of the best experiences of my life. It wasn’t just about visiting new places but also about creating memories with my family. As the new year began, I returned home feeling refreshed and ready to face new challenges.

I often try to make cakes, even though I often fail, it's a very cool experience. Trying to make any cake, making bread, making sponge cakes, and so on. I once made pancakes and it worked. I was very happy at that time and shared the results of my cooking with my younger siblings. I've also made sponge cake but... The sponge cake doesn't expand, but it tastes good so it can still be eaten even though it doesn't expand.

On Wednesday, December 25, 2024 is a red date, and my mother gets a day off from work and this holiday will be used for us to go to Ibarbo. We went to Ibarbo with only four of us, my mother, my two younger siblings, and me. We went to Ibarbo at 9 o'clock and when we arrived at Ibarbo it was already very crowded and hot. When we entered Ibarbo we saw how long and crowded it was to buy entrance tickets. My mother queued to buy tickets while my little brother and I walked around. When we entered the mini zoo, we saw many animals and also fed the animals. There was one agenda that made me laugh, namely Power Ranger selling ondol-ondol haha. And yeah, I just looked at the animals while my little brother went on various rides. Even though this was the only vacation I could go to, I was very grateful to be able to play with my family during the holidays.

After traveling from Ibarbo, I spent my vacation watching series in my own room. I couldn't go on vacation anywhere because there were obstacles that couldn't be avoided. Right on the 31st I was invited to have a barbecue at my friend's house and stay at my friend's house to celebrate the new year 2025

Happy new year 2025 😁

During the semester break, I spent time with my extended family, my father's family and my mother's family. We decided to celebrate the New Year with a delicious party. My mother and I prepared dishes, namely making various kinds of chicken dishes. The aroma of freshly baked banana cakes and sponge cakes filled our kitchen, the warm atmosphere of the kitchen was full of laughter from my siblings On New Year's Eve, we gathered in the middle of the family room, sharing stories and watching TV, not to mention grilling lots of corn. When the clock struck twelve at night, we were very happy to celebrate the turn of the year, we all saw fireworks arriving in the night sky, creating a magical atmosphere. The next day, we continued the celebration with a session of making sweet and soft dishes. We made colorful cakes, chocolate cookies, and banana fruit cakes. and also made drinks, namely fresh syrup ice. This sweet snack is perfect for family gatherings. We enjoyed every bite, feeling grateful for the love and togetherness. This semester break and New Year's celebration were truly unforgettable. The happiness of sharing delicious dishes and quality time with loved ones filled my heart with warmth and happiness. I look forward to the new year with optimism and joy.

Thank you and happy new year 2025

In addition to these activities, i also had a reunion with my friends from junior high school. I was very happy, because finally we all met again, after a long time we didn't meet. We chatted about the problems we experienced, we listened to each other and supported each other. We also chatted about life in high school, how we live it. I was very happy, because they are my most beloved friends.

Tuesday, December 31, 2024, the last day of 2024. My extended family and i held a dinner at my house, we were all very happy, because all my extended family were present. We grilled fish, corn, sausages, meatballs. We all chatted, laughed together. 00.00 at night, exactly 2024 had ended, we lit fireworks. Honestly, i'm afraid of fireworks, afraid of the sound. But i was forced to watch, because my brother forced me.

Last year, I spent my year-end holiday at home in my city. While others traveled, I chose to enjoy the simple pleasures around me.

Mornings were peaceful, spent sipping coffee on the balcony. During the day, I explored my city, visiting a beautifully decorated park and a cozy bookstore where I found new books to read. Evenings were for trying new recipes or enjoying meals from my favorite local restaurants.

On New Year’s Eve, I watched fireworks from my rooftop, enjoying the quiet yet festive atmosphere. Though simple, the holiday was restful and reminded me to appreciate life’s small joys.

The drive to the beach was long, but Dion didn’t mind. He was too busy looking out the window and imagining all the fun he was going to have. When they finally arrived at the beach house, Dion was so excited he could barely contain himself.

The beach house was even better than Dion had imagined. It had a big porch with a view of the ocean, and a backyard with a barbecue grill and a fire pit. Dion immediately ran down to the beach and jumped into the waves.

The next few days were a blur of fun. Dion spent his mornings swimming and surfing, his afternoons building sandcastles and playing beach volleyball, and his evenings roasting marshmallows over the fire pit and telling stories with his family.

One day, Dion and his dad went fishing. They caught a big fish, and Dion was so proud of himself. He even got to keep the fish and take it home with him.

On the last day of their vacation, Dion was sad to leave. He had had so much fun, and he didn’t want to go back to his normal life. But he knew he would have many more vacations in the future, and he couldn’t wait for them.

Dion’s vacation was a time for him to relax, have fun, and make memories with his family. It was a time for him to escape from the stress of everyday life and just enjoy himself. And that’s exactly what he did.

It was supposed to be an exciting holiday, but things didn’t go as planned. A few days before the holiday began, my phone suddenly stopped working. I tried everything I could to fix it, but nothing worked. I was left with no choice but to spend my entire holiday without a phone.

At first, I thought it wouldn’t be a big deal. “Maybe I can do something else,” I told myself. However, it didn’t take long for boredom to set in. Without my phone, there was no social media, no games, and no chatting with friends. I tried reading books, but after a while, even that felt dull. The house was quiet, and the days seemed to drag on endlessly.

Sometimes, I went outside to get some fresh air. I watched people walk by, some of them glued to their phones, and I couldn’t help but feel a little envious. I also helped my parents with chores, hoping it would make time go faster, but it only helped a little.

Every day felt the same. I woke up, ate breakfast, tried to find something to do, and waited for the day to end. There was no excitement, no sense of adventure—just an endless loop of monotony. I missed the days when I could easily kill time by scrolling through my phone or chatting with friends.

As the holiday neared its end, I realized that, even though it was boring, spending time without a phone taught me to appreciate simple things. I learned to enjoy moments of quiet and to be present without constant distractions. Still, I couldn’t wait to get my phone fixed and have things go back to normal.

In the end, my holiday was far from exciting, but it was certainly a memorable one. Next time, though, I’ll make sure my phone is in perfect condition before any

long break!

Walking on the beach in a Balinese kebaya felt very special. It added something different and made the day feel more unique. Some people smiled at me, and a few even asked about my outfit. It was nice to mix nature’s beauty with culture.

I spent the day enjoying the fresh air, taking many pictures, and relaxing in the peaceful place. It was such a fun and unforgettable experience to close the year.

The journey started very early in the morning, and the first place we visited was Gudeg Ceker Margoyudan. I was initially hesitant to try gudeg with ceker, because it looked difficult to eat. However, once I tasted it, I was immediately fascinated. The sweet and savory taste of gudeg combined with the soft ceker was truly extraordinary. "Rani, we have to take some home for later!" I said with a satisfied smile.

After breakfast, we continued our journey to Pasar Gede, a place full of traditional snacks. There, I tried dawet telasih for the first time.
