It's been... a very long time. 2014 was a fun year. I got to visit a few countries in Asia: I got to experience so many things this time, like walking around the crowded streets of Hongdae, grilling and eating meat outside on a busy street, and shopping in Myeongdong in the later hours. I also was very blessed to get to experience Japan and I fell in love with the neat cities. And of course, I visited my family in Indonesia and had a lovely time. I always miss them during the holidays - and I have a feeling I'll be feeling a little down during CNY - I would love to experience a CNY celebration with my full family once you know?
I also dyed my hair back in... March maybe? (goodbye virgin hair) - a lovely dark red ombre
 |
| The hairstylist worked it up quite far haha. It looked a lot darker and redder in real life! |
Since it was my first time bleaching and dyeing, the color faded after a few months and turned back to an orangey-brown (my after bleach, pre-dye hair color) with a hint of red since I couldn't go to a salon. I got tired of that after quite a few months and dyed my hair all over with a dark brown box dye making my hair super dark. My tips have lightened up to a dark brown but it isn't that noticeable? It might lighten up some more in the following weeks. It was quite nice to change my hair color for the first time in my life and I might do it again if I ever get bored of just dark hair. But for now I like the look of dark hair and it is the most convenient since a lot of my time is now not my own,
Why? Well, obviously there is school (I signed myself up for another course from now until May - goodbye sleep), but there is also this little teddy bear
Meet the newest addition to our family, Waffle the Whoodle (Wheaten Terrier + Poodle)! We just brought her home yesterday, and I can already tell I'm going to have my hands full for a while since she is just a baby (is this a bit like having a baby?). She is a very good-natured puppy and was pretty good during the long 8 hour drive back from where we picked her up. She adjusted pretty well and perked right back up when we stopped the car for a bit (she was pretty carsick ;^; poor baby).

She picks up pretty fast too - I think she has an inkling not to pee inside (she tried to hold up last night all the way to morning but my mom brought her to pee on the newspapers), and we had little trouble with the crate. In fact, I think she likes her crate since we made it very cozy in there with a pad and blanket and toys.
She likes to follow me around as well, and wags her little tail around ;3; so cute!
I'd like to log her growth here (also gets me to remember that I enjoy /blogging/), so expect more Waffle the Whoodle!

| she likes to sleep in my arms haha - if i lie down she lies down too and goes to sleep! |
We're trying to get her to pee on a pad, especially at night since it's so cold outside right now. Waaaay below freezing + we just got some snow so the ground is super cold :( Also it is good if she can have somewhere to pee if we aren't at home for more than few hours and can't take her out. Any tips on potty training with pads as far as that goes? Any advice would be much appreciated since I am still pretty new to all of this!
I hope all you guys are well and had a great holiday! What have you guys been up to?
(This post may or may not have been made with a puppy licking at my computer screen and multiple trips up and down the stairs calming down a crying puppy)
See you guys (hopefully) soon!
