Our family went to a new house! We were supposed to go a new home. My parents have discovered the house they wanted to buy really. My sister and I went there and we look round the home quickly. The house was far bigger and brighter than the one our family has lived. Then sister and I were concerned about deciding which room we used each. We decided that I would use the bigger room so I was happy! My sister’s new room was topsy-turvy. The house-moving day, all family members, except mom went to school or office. Mother took the responsibility all. I was very sorry to mom. She asked the staffs for moving furniture in several places. Carrying furniture at suitable place, the staffs and mom cleaned up rooms and polished panes. Thanks to her efforts, when I arrived at our new home, I was surprised with the house decorated beautifully. My room was decorated with all white furniture and papered a white wall. My sister’s room was ornamented with same things as mine. I want to a white room since I was young. I was very satisfied with mine. When I thought all of decoration was completed by my mother, I was moved and thanked for her. I decided in mind from now on I cleaned my room regularly. Moving a house, I had new mind, new thought. In my beautiful and simple room, I would study harder and listen to my mother’s saying better!

       Today, I met my cousins are living in America for a long time. My heart was throbbing with expectation. But I had to work for a part-time job at lunch time. So I was late for the appointment. While I was working, I only thought the meeting!!  We haven’t seen each other in years. I missed them so much..

When I finished my work, I went to my aunt’s home where all of family was supposed to meet. After taking a subway during one hour, I arrived at her home.

I was so tired but I was just very happy because of cousins. As soon as they saw me, they welcome me! My uncle has two cute sons. I love two boys so much. I couldn’t guess how much they grow meantime. Finally, after seeing them I knew they were already elementary school students. I was very sorry I couldn’t be concerned to them.. even though we dwelled remote. Then I forgot that burden for a while, I played with cousins. We played a ball, hide-and-seek and soccer. We didn’t know what time it was while playing. And we ate delicious sea food. I talked with my uncle about his American life and my story. He said I became more pretty than before. He congratulated me to enter the university and gave me some money!! I was so happy!! Unfortunately, because of uncle’s work in America we had to say good bye… I looked forward to meet them as soon as possible!

I have a boyfriend at last! It was last Saturday.

I met him the day. We went a display of fireworks in Han river. The fireworks were very fantastic and colorful. But I was far from pleased. I had a bad cold and sore throat. He didn’t know well my bad condition. And I couldn’t tell him…

More and more I wanted to go my home. He seemed that he didn’t want to go home. I became thirsty. So he went to supermarket and he bought water and drug for me. I was moving a little. I decided that I was with him a little more.

We went to his town and he suggested that we eat dinner in Japanese restaurant.

However it was a burden for me to eat dinner with a man, in addition, I was not really close to him. I made an offer to eat ice cream instead of dinner and he agreed gladly. The conversation with him wasn’t very interesting. After a while we went to a park. He hesitated to say something. After a little he proposed his love. I fell his true mind. I tell him like this “ I want to respond after I go home.”

Then his red face revealed the fact he was very nervous. I arrived home and I thought and thought. Finally I decided to accept his propose.

 Now I’m dating with him well. I want to go out together forever. I wish everyday were like these days.

       I am always fighting with my younger sister. But today, we fought seriously. I almost make up a quarrel at other times. However we didn’t make peace yet... I apologize to her first all the time. Of course, I know that she is hardheaded and she doesn’t like apologize before me.

 She is shrewd and very mature for her age. Whatever she does, she always does a perfect job. So my mom almost put her trust in my sister. She believes fully what my sister said. I’m dissatisfied with that every time. And then she thinks all of her thoughts are right. Since childhood my sister has been hard in the mouth and she has got things she wanted. I admit she acts and talks more prudently than me. But I want her to respect me more. I guess she always thinks small beer of me. Last, this time I fought with her because of these problems.

She sometimes swears to me while fighting. When I can’t stand it any longer, I swear to her too. I know we are same and we make faults equally.

I think generally our fighting is very usual and natural. Just what I want is my sister understands me more and thinks one more time in my place.

 I love my sister anyway. I’m elder than her. So if she doesn’t apologize to me, I do this time too. Writing this, I remembered what I said to her badly a while ago.

I’ll apologize and I hope as often as we fight, our sister ship is firm.

These days, weather is so nice. It is favorite weather to me. Sometimes it’s windy, sometimes it’s sunny. It’s a good weather to go out.

Well..then I’m so lonely lately.. Two of my best friends have boyfriend. I wasn’t envy them in the old days. But now I’m very envy my friends. It is a long time since I didn’t have a boyfriend. Nowadays, my last boyfriend remind me. I think what I did with him. I think how I was happy because of him. He was very nice to me. He had good manners, he was witty. Sometimes when he put off his glasses, he looked so handsome to me. I regretted to broke up with him. Because the reason I broke up, just I was young and boyfriend was an obstacle to my study. I’m very worried that I had better call him or not. After all, I sent a text message to him, then I was nervous about his answer. After a while his answer arrived. And I opened it nervously. He said “It’s been a long time since we last saw each other. How’s hacking?” I was happy because of his sincere message.

From that day on, I corresponded with him. We recalled the past. More and more we contacted frequently. We made an appointment to meet in the end.

 Now I keep in touch with him everyday. I think that perhaps, I can restart with him soon. I felt this Korean saying in mind “A brave man will get an LOVE.”

I have worked at a part-time job in StarBucks since July. When I worked at here first day, I looked forward to meeting handsome staffs. But I haven’t seen any nice members. So I was sad and I wasn’t interested in working this café.

Almost each time I worked, I made mistakes. My superior was sometimes blame for my fault. The store owner put me to work hard things. Then I got stressed. Sometimes I thought  it was better to put an end to work.

 One day, two new face members came. New face1 was 27 years old, the other was 25 years old. A man aged 27-year-old looked old. He has good manners. Whenever I saw him, he wore a smile on his face. But he had a plain face. I didn’t take interest in him…

As time goes by, I realized that he was interested in me. So I was a burden because of his favor and I gradually hated him. I was uncomfortable when I worked with him. While on work he professed himself ‘I’m your brother^^’ It was offensive word to my ear.

 However, the other man was handsome a bit. His smile was very pretty and his voice was sweet. More and more I had a friendly feeling toward him. I liked not only his outward appearance but also his personality. He was very kind and responsible.

 I’ll work this café maybe until this winter. Now, up to that time, I hope I’ll win his favor.

I just wanted to buy...

I went to the department store with my mom.
I wanted to buy a new winter coat and thought mom was willing to buy a coat for me...
We looked round and looked to search what is best. Finally, I found just one I want to get. It was quite expensive. I didn't care that. I knew she would pay instead of me. But...she.. didn't...
I paid the coat price.. I became quite penniless..!! OH MY GAD!
