Just Got Married

Yesterday was Zara’s wedding. I finally have a close friend who’s married and I actually got to witness it.

I kept telling Zara that we’re definitely old already. I still remember the very time that Zara told me that a new boy had moved into her neighborhood. Who knew at that time that she would eventually marry him years later. Ang sarap tuloy paniwalaan ang mga salitang “true love” and “destiny.” But I know better than to use them when referring to my life. HaHa!

Speaking of, how come the guys who always ask for my number are never the guys that I want to get with? Baliktad talaga ang mundo ko! In fairness, hindi ako nagtaray ha; I actually gave my number and allowed myself to be photographed pa. Yun lang nga, nung nag-text na, back to my usual antipatika self na ako. ;P

Eh kasi naman, naiwan akong mag-isa after the reception at nagintay ako ng matagal bago dumating yung driver namin so highblood ako. Eventually, he found the place and I met with my cousin in Libis to go to Baga Berde. O di ba, gimik agad! It was a Wency Cornejo/Jimmy Bondoc/True Faith night. We ended up sitting outside, so medyo walang front row view. This is what I missed most about Manila: live music. It’s really too bad that Totop is no longer with Freestyle and I don’t have them to stalk anymore.

Currently in Incheon

Somewhere out there is a Kim Rae Won. Oh the possibilities! LoL.

Incheon International is nice. It makes me want to call Seoul home. HaHa! And if you’re not really sure where you are, just look around:

- Bae Yong Joon plastered all over the place
- An MBC drama playing right now in front of me as I wait for my plane
(looks like the “other girl” in Romance has cancer in this scene)

I think I’m going to start flying Korean Air whenever I’m bound for Asia: I swear, I’ve never seen that many cute guys waiting in line for check-in at Sea-Tac. HaHa! And, I’d like to announce that I actually got mistaken for a Korean. After years of Chinese mistaken identity incidents, I’ve now graduated onto another ethnicity. Those Krung Krung marathons must have done me some good. Thanks, Pen!

Scarier than a Bagwa

I'm scared. Maybe that explains the tears in my eyes right now as I try to write this entry.

Words of wisdom that I hope to remember while being away:

• In order to discover something new, I have to leave something behind.
  
• Life is meant to be lived.
  
• Nothing can hold myself back, but myself.
  
• Think that I'm never coming back to the place that I'm visiting.

See you all on the other side of the globe...well, at least those who ARE on the other side of the globe. ;P

Present

I went to church this morning. The lesson for today was "Every day is a gift from God." And you know what, it's true. Our tomorrows are never promised and our todays should never be taken for granted. I got to remember that.

On that note, while walking to my car after a trip to Target, I kept thinking that it will be awhile until I can walk around like that again - walking in the middle of the parking lot with a bag in tow without a care in the world. Because in a couple of days, I'll be on "praning mode" 24/7 again. I'm not the only one like that, right? I mean, those in Manila are also praning when they step out of their house, right? (Bundi, huwag magdeny! Nasaan ang phone mo nung nakasakay ka ng jeep? LoL!)

Stay With Me Tonight

For the third time this year, let me just say that packing is such sweet sorrow. I tried to start today, but all I ended up doing was scattering my clothes all over my room. Will try again tomorrow.

After "reading" various Lonely Planet books, look what I found for lodging alternatives in South Korea:

• Homestays (staying with a host family)
  
• Temple Stays (staying in a Buddhist temple)

I think both are equally intriguing. Granted, that yes, I wish Kim Rae Won's house is an option, but we cannot have everything in life. Thou shall keep these two options in mind for future reference.
