I am actually a really emotional person.. At times people don’t think I would be the emotional type. I also like to keep things bottled up inside...
Cherry blossoms in South Korea. Fell in love at the sight of them ♥♥♥

here’s a cute song by one of my latest finds on youtube, a korean indie artist who goes by the name “Coffee Boy”. i love how relaxing and uplifting his songs are. this one is just a sample of what i’ve been listening to the whole day. the transalation’s not as good but the message is there. i was led to this artist on youtube and i fell in love. yes, i don’t understand the lyrics but that’s the power of music i guess :) of course i can totally relate to the idea of the song too. *sigh*

I was a little out of breath after running a few flights of stairs. i was actually sort of panting, but then again i’ve never been the healthy type. on the 3rd floor landing there he stood, talking to people distractedly. i waited for my cue to approach him. finally i caught his attention and he walked towards me. “yes?” he asked. i shrugged and said “hmmm, is there anything you’d like to say?” his eyes bore into mine. “ah,” he thought for a few seconds. “like, any instructions or just…anything…” i trailed off. maybe you’d like to ask how i’m doing, how i’ve been or how are things with me now after the time you went away? i thought to myself as he intently looked at me with probing eyes. “uhmmm, actually, just a few things but i can probably just update you…by email or something.” i smiled shyly “okay, then. happy new year.” he smiled back and waved a hand. “i’ll see you in a few months.” with that we walked our separate ways.
