Highlights of my Day... Monday, July 30

1. Big plans today: ear specialist appointment and the Yanky comes to Cheonan.

2. By 1pm I still hadn't heard from the Yanky but I had to leave for my appointment. Ki Dong took me to my appointment and so we got talking about him and his ex. Poor Ki Dong... he's exactly where I was about 9 months ago or so; stuck on an ex. He wants me to hang out with her this week but personally, I just want to kick her... hehehe. No but seriously, I really do like Ki Dong, he's an awesome friend, but he really needs to step back, take some time away from her and think about if he really wants her in his life. She did after all, rip his heart out, step on it about a million times and then ask from him to give it back to her again.

3. By mid afternoon I still hadn't heard from the Yanky and I had clearly become the laughing joke of the staff room... great.

4. Say it... I know you want to say it, others did and others will.... "I am a fool". Convinced that the Yanky wouldn't leave me hanging, I stuck around the office waiting for 6 hours. He never showed up. Instead, after what felt like a zillion hours, I got word from him, a text and then numerous messages on MySpace, in which, I admit yes he did repeatedly say sorry, but it only served to make me feel all that more embarrassed. Turns out he had slept in but even so, he still hadn't tried to patch things by coming out to Cheonan. He stayed in Songtan.

5. Ki Dong claims I've got no heart cause even after the Yanky said sorry like a million times, I sat back and bursted into laughter. I argue that I DO have a heart, it's black and a bit too sensitve. This is such a classic case of boy meets girl... girl falls for boy... boy screws up. I guess I laughed cause I didn't know what else to do. I know I was rather mean to the Yanky but my ego was bruised, my plans were shattered, my optimistic ideas were crushed, and now not only had I wasted my day waiting for him, I had become the office joke, killed my patience, missed both lunch and dinner, froze my butt off in the office, and wasted money paying my friend to babysit Mi Nam.

6. Ki Dong tried to cheer me up by asking me out for dinner but I declined. I had lost my appetite. I should have gone for dinner with him though cause I had spent all afternoon with him and so he didn't get any studying done.

7. Now I admit I'm stubborn, correction... I'm really stubborn. After I left the office the whole situation lingered in my thoughts. I couldn't shake it and so, being the fool that I already proved today that I am, I jumped on the subway and headed out to Songtan.

8. I don't know why exactly I went out to Songtan. It's not like I was mad and had a bone to pick with him, I just wanted to see him. I didn't want today to be a total write-off.

9. Walked around downtown Songtan with the Yanky... it was nice. We indulged in mandu and banana milk. I gave him a bit of a hard time about today and even picked on him a bit... telling him that he's too skinny, which at 190lbs he's obviously not. I wish he wasn't so damn cute.

10. On my train ride home, the Cute Boy from the other night texted me. By this time I had way too much drama from the male department today and so I really wasn't up for dealing with some other dude. I ignored his texts but gave in and accepted his phone call. Ahhh... Korean is so hard.... guys are so much harder though. I think I'll just stick to focusing on Korean, the language that is.

QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Why is it ME chasing HIM?
