Discipline and Disappointment

Last year I made the mistake of making super expensive phone calls to South Africa regularly and I paid dearly for them. My second year in Korea I thought I need to be smarter and limit my ways of communicating to texting and skyping and using a phone card if a call is necessary.  I had been doing so well up until last month. I let my guard down just a little and now I will pay dearly using some of my planned savings for the upcoming summer holidays. Discipline is so important. Even if the means to pay are there, it doesn't mean one should be wasteful and careless.  I'm probably being a little too hard on myself but one main theme that God is teaching me this year is discipline, in all aspects of my life - from being late for appointments to discipline around food and in this case money. But its okay, I will try to hop back onto the horse again next month.

Do not be alarmed - currency is in Korean won

we love you keke

We recently celebrated another awesome birthday, this time for our super energetic, bubbly and youngest of the pack, Keke. It was an evening of unique dining at a Japanese restaurant (not sushi), some Ice-cream cake for dessert (yum-yum), some gimmick gift wrapping, fancy lounging down town and of course our favourite, taking over the dance floor! This is how the night went down...

                                     

Notice the box says I love the body shop
well guess what - its not from the body shop haha
Its a wicked pair of earphones instead


Final thoughts:

Keke, you are such an amazing child of God and I am so blessed to have you as a friend. I don't know anybody that much younger than me but has that many stories. You make me laugh so so so much. Hope you had an amazing birthday. I pray that you may be blessed with many more.

ps: Thank you for the super sweet blog post you did for my birthday too, you are so romantic LOL.
