So lately I've been thinking about the past 2-3 years of my life. Where was I? What did I do? And what happened to it all?
3 years ago...
Well 3 years ago I was in my 2nd year of college and having a blast with KCCC. And at the beginning of my 2nd year I had just gotten over the stages of really pursuing to get a girlfriend. And the funniest thing happened. I was looking at my former AIM logs and I wrote down. "You know what I'm just going to focus on being a soonjang. And worry about dating and girls later." I said that because I was sick of searching for a girl. I liked a few girls and while we were great friends and enjoyed each others presence, it was just only that, nothing more. So thats when I decided to just focus on God, Church, Ministry, and school, and then the funniest thing happened... before I go on let me say that when I meet new people I end up forgetting their face and their name 5 seconds after meeting them. So now getting on with the story; I met like 30 different people in KCCC one day, and by the end of the greeting session I did realize there were some good looking girls, but I was so excited to see old friends that I didn't care about the new blokes that I just met.
And then a few weeks, or month and half pass by and I started to see who started to attend regularly to KCCC stuff. And then I remember who I met and I smoothly try to act is if I remembered them. So what is this current post all about? Let me tell you... I met this girl... nothing astounding, or intriguing stood out from her. She looked like some normal korean girl that is fulfilling her parents dream of attending a university. Now at the time I didn't think much of her, except that she was sorta cute... and why was she sorta cute, because she was a mysterious person. Didn't have flashy personality, didn't dress impressively, was a very quiet person. So naturally I passed her on as a typical nerdy asian fob girl.
A few weeks later go by and something pivotal happened between me and her. I remember that in one of our friday night prayers, we did a group intercessory prayer thing. And to be specific, we all shared our burdens to the group. And 3 blokes would share and then the group would pray. And that night there was about 17 chaps in the prayer meeting. And I happened to be next to this mysterious typical asian fob girl (for further references lets name her girly), and I thought she was this type of person that was very reserved and didn't share personal things. Well was I wrong... This girl started sharing her problems about her financial status... and not to get into detail, she started crying and to be honest with you sitting next to a crying girl that you don't know, and being the kind of person I was... I just sat there very uncomfortably as she was telling her story. Thank God that her friend was there and comforted her. But the next thing that really hooked me was that she said "I don't blame anybody for it, and I know the big guy upstairs will fix this, it's just so frustrating to deal with the university, but I have faith that God will fix everything." Never in my life have I heard someone younger than me say this kinda stuff. I was sort of expecting something like... "I have this money problem, and its so bad, and I blame my parents, and the reason why I came up North was to get away from them" But she said the total opposite.
Now as I heard this, my heart was flickering... not in a sense that oh man I love this girl, but more in a sense of... these kind of people exist? and they exist at her age?!? Man was I astonished by attitude towards life and God. I was immediately hooked, intrigued, dazzled, and the list goes on; to this girl... And I knew that I just had to get to know her better...
To make this post short... I did get to know her and slowly but surely I knew that I really like this girl because of her genuineness, kindess, and other stuff... Sadly the year went by in a flash and I had gotten really close to her... and I really thought she liked me back... (there was this other guy, but this is my side of the story so I'll just leave that bloke out of this) And as the year ended we decided to go on overseas missions. So I hadn't seen her in a full month, and by golly... I missed her, and finally we were reunited in Korea, and when I saw her I was probably one of the happiest blokes there. My team said they had never seen me this happy before. Well same thing with her. She was exhausted from her missions, but yet she was just as excited to see me. And... this is getting very very long... so I'll end it soon, so I saw her again the next day, and the next day was sort of this kind of thing were you can do whatever you want. And I decided to hangout with her... I didn't ask her or anything, we just sorta hung out.. for like the whole day, and the other bloke that I didn't mention followed us. But we hung out for a good six hours, and we were just walking around to different events together, then hang out with our friends, then go off on our own, and had a great time together and I really thought this gal really likes me... again for the sake of making this short I'll have 2 or 3 other posts telling about the next 1-2 years... but yes our reunion had to end, before I left we said our goodbyes, she said that she'll miss me and told me to be strong when I go to missions. It was actually quite depressing... because I thought this would be the last time I see her until another month or month and half. So we leave spend a few days on a beggars urban adventure. What is that you ask? We are forbidden to use any money in Korean, and had to depend on churches for survival... It was fun, but I really missed her so it sucked. So finally it was over and I was reunited with my mission team. Let me tell you that I was visibly depressed. And I saw my team and decided to pack my things and head off to Thailand. BUT!!! Someone had patted my back, and it was girly... Never in my life had I been so pleasantly surprise. We greeted each other and said "wow... I didn't think I would see you again for a while." So I spent about a good 10 mins talking to her then I had to go off and go to my mission field, and she went off to spend time with her family.
And with that I conclude the 3 years ago... I'll update soon about the 2 years section... because its late and I got gay school early in the morning...
