October

           When October comes, I think a lot of things. At October, starting from my father’s birthday, there are many birthday people. My father, mother, grandfather, second aunt, and more than five friends. I have to buy many presents and sending a happy birthday message at 12 o’clock to friends. October 8^th was my father’s birthday. So I bought gray cardigan for him to wear at winter. And cook some food with mommy. Beef-rib stew, japchae, sea mustard soup, etc. We invited father’s co-workers and had a party! It was so fun. Everybody was happy and had a good time. And now, my mother’s birthday is coming soon. My mother’s birthday is this coming Thursday. I ordered crocs shoes for her on the Internet. Crocs shoes with fur for winter. She wanted to buy that last year. I was very worried about mommy’s present. I remember many thing what she was wanted to buy and what she needs. She told me she want to buy a kipling bag and she want to buy a mp3 player for listening EBS radio – she loves listening the program ‘English go!go!’. Anyway I went to the department store last week and searching her present, I don’t know what design she likes. In there, I found crocs and I remember she wanted that last winter. Now, I am very happy with great expectation. I hope when mommy gets my present, she feels happy. I think I bought a very practical thing for her. Maybe my brother will buy a cake, so it’s the end of worry about mommy’s birthday and October’s birthday parade!

             Last Monday, that was no school day. But I leave home so early in the morning, and I went to COEX. COEX is near my home, so I can go there by walk. I went to COEX and I chose the movie “Letters to Juliet”. And I saw the movie alone. The movie was so sweet. It is a romance movie, story about a old woman’s finding her first-love. Her first-love was separated with her 50 years ago. I like that movie. At the end of the movie, the old woman find her first-love and she married him. Maybe after that is ‘They lived happily ever after’. I like that kind of happy ending story. I think that life is so hard to live and there’s many sad stories in our life. So I hope movies or dramas endings are happy stories. I heard two good passages in the movie. The first one is ‘It’s never too late to follow your heart’. I think so, but I don’t know if it’s right or not. I think it depends on situations. If someone find a real-love, but if have family – husband or wife - , that person cannot follow real love. If wife or husband is not real-love. The second good passage is “Do you believe in destiny?”. If someone ask me same question, I cannot answering easily. When I was listened that paragraph, I was asked myself. But I don’t know. Sometimes I believe, and sometimes not. If I have to choose one surely… I choose believe. If so, where is my destiny? Haha!^^

Journal 3

             I have no class on Tuesday. So Tuesday is my holiday. I slept all through the noon. Because I couldn’t slept last night, so I was very tired. I had an appointment with Bora, she is my friend and neighborhood. She is one of my best friend, she lives same apartment as me. She lives 11^th floor, I live 4^th floor. We met last year, we didn’t need much time to become close friend. We meet very often, but we always have something to talk. Anyway, we met at the our No.1 favorite restaurant, Primo-bacio-baci. There are Pane - crime pasta - and marinara – seafood risotto . We always eating two of them when we go there. We love that! On the way our dinner, some people come to next table. And I was surprised. Because there is Ye-won, school friend. It was so funny. Bora and I ate too much so we have to walk. We starting walk from Gang-nam station to Daechi-dong. During our walking, we talk a lot, and I was imitating boxing. She laughs so much! And we went to department store, for looking my father’s birthday present. But we couldn’t chose one thing. So we gives up. We went a children’s playground. We plays like elementary school students. It was soooooo funny. We running and playing on a seesaw. And we racing on the bicycle game. Other people look us strange. But we don’t care. We always playing like that. After playing at playground, we walked yang-jae creek. We playing near there, doing yoga. I’m so happy and I laugh so much today. I love my friend, Bora♥
