You don't really know a person until you see them dance.

Haha, that's how Madison commented when I told her about last weekend. Not this past weekend.

Esther and I and some other International students and KIMCHI kids went to the Samzzie Sound Festival for some rock concert head banging and hip hop club dancing. Lol, and that's when I busted out some pop and lock and moonwalking and I'm sure I've imprinted a different kind of impression of myself onto these Koreans now...

I actually wasn't planning on going because I had a meeting with Gina on that same day. However, Gina canceled the day before because she had to work. We postponed our hanging out to yesterday, and that's when we both found out that on that Saturday, she canceled because she had to work at the Samzzie Sound Festival....which I ended up going to! If we had known, we could have totally met up! xDDDD The whole coincidence is just uncanny.

So Gina and I concluded that it must be a sign that we're supposed to meet every week else something bad could happen, hahaha. And she taught me a nice Korean expression as well: 너를 알아게 바행이다 (neoreul aragae bahaengeeda). It figuratively means "I'm happy to have met you/known you" but with more feeling and gratefulness?

=)

I've been having such off days, and this week hasn't started off spectacular either. I slept in yesterday and missed church, and I stayed up late last night (after getting back from meeting with Gina) to work on homework, only to have some of it blown away in the wind this morning T_____T.

The wind lately has been absolutely ridiculous. It's been thundering so strongly too. Last night, the thunder woke me up and scared me. It sounded like explosions crashing.

In Oriental Watercolor class today, I told Esther about having that piece of homework blown away, and we discussed about other homework for Han Kyosoonim and when to meet up to do the next homework project together, and then had lunch together.

Right now is Painting Studio class with Madison, and I had received a text from Esther saying that it's just a random text, but she's glad to have met me in Korea. I said it out loud to Madison, and then told her how Gina said the same thing to me yesterday, and Madison heartily declares she very much shares in that same sentiment as well.

Ah, despite all this random BS that's happening to me, I can't help but feel loved and thankful. I've only known these guys in Korea here for some months, and yet they consider me as someone quite endearing to them. I don't know if I deserve such feelings in such a short amount of time.

Especially considering all this drama with the Phamily going down.

But even so. I have to stay strong and be myself, so that I'm worthy to receive all this love around me and at home.
