There’s only about a week left until I leave for Hong Kong and then two more weeks until I go back to the US. Days seem to pass quicker than I realized, as if holidays don’t exist and everything will continue to be the same. I can’t believe Christmas is almost here and that I will miss it back at home. It just doesn’t seem like it. It feels like it’s summer except that it’s super cold outside. Negative nine degrees Celsius to be exact. I don’t see snow but it’s freezing cold over here and the leaves are rather reddish looking. I only hear Christmas music in café and I do see Christmas cards and various Christmas related gifts in stores. I randomly see somber looking Korean males dressed up in santa suits and a fake belly to boot playing instruments once in a while. I still don’t see the Christmas sprit from their faces though. It doesn’t feel the same. It is as if everything is business and we’re just passing by doing what we have to do.
I do love how when you buy something in stores sometimes they give you free stuff, which makes me feel like it’s my birthday or that it’s Christmas. Maybe I’ve said this before. Haha. It needs repeating. Hahahha.
I love how in the church that I’ve been attending people are so vocal. When there’s something in the message someone agrees with they say something in agreement or when something is really cool, they would say so with a “Wow” or “awesome”. I love that. It reminds me of Korean traditional music because sometimes you’re allowed to voice an encouragement or something like that. It’s not just a show, but an interactive performance. I love that idea. I love the idea of being really open about something you’re watching except for movies. I think most movies need to be seen in silent unless you’re analyzing it or if it’s a comedy or a rom-com. I do talk too much during movies when I’m with friends though. Haha, sometimes I can be a hypocrite without knowing it.
I will miss my Finnish friend Lyydia and my various friends from other states in the US.
Is it possible to be jealous of random Korean males’ clothes on the street? I sometimes envy their style. Hahaha. It’s kind of sad. Sometimes I see a shirt some guy is wearing and I’m like, “oh I would wear that.” Or they’re carrying a bag of some sort and I wonder where they bought it. Hahahaha. I bought a guy’s jacket in Taiwan once but I realized the shoulder length was a bit too big for me.
