It is my first Christmas away from home,so as expected, earlier that afternoon, I really felt the Christmas blues.
Christmas here is very different. No Christmas lights around. No special Christmas events..and yes, Christmas are only for couples.
And because I didn't "belong" to their idea of a perfect Christmas, I did feel down during that afternoon. I did wish I could go home to be with my family.
But then,my Filipino friends and I had a small gathering. It wasn't as grand as the one back home but yeah, it was good enough for us to feel the spirit of Christmas.
BTW, did I tell you he's still here in Korea? Well, I was really surprised when I knew of it. I mean, I knew days ago that he was still here, that he delayed his flight back home. But I didn't expect myself to be caught offguard when I see him again.
Seeing him was like holding on to that 0.001% probability.And yes, that 0.001 percent did happen...on Christmas eve. =)
So I saw him in the foreign kitchen and they were drinking. He was red all over already and I knew he was drunk already so I kept on ignoring him. But then he made coughing sounds as if calling my attention so I decided to give him a smile.
They finished their party but we were still having ours. He approached our table and said "Dongsaeng, Happy Christmas!" (and yes, I did do all my snobbish act and corrected him saying that it's supposed to be Merry Christmas and not Happy Christmas.=P) They Tel was such a nice friend that she initiated that we should take pictures together. When it was our turn to take our picture together, you "comfortably" put your arm around me and pulled me close to you. I knew you were drunk, but yeah, it was a good feeling. =)
Kakao talk is my bestfriend now. =))))
We were talking in kakao and you kept on telling me that I should talk to you when I see you...because if I don't you're sad.
In 2 days, you'll be leaving Korea. I don't want you to go but I know how much you miss home. I hope you arrive home safe.
And yes, I'm still holding on to your promise that we will keep in touch no matter what...that we will do face-to-face chatting...and that you will never forget me.
