Today was a good day, I think. By I think, it means that today had it's good sides and it's bad sides, but what day doesn't? Anyways, Korea right now is rainy, hence, rainy season. But anyways, it alternates between being humid and raining. The good thing is that when it rains, it becomes a lot cooler. The bad thing is, it's been raining constantly, so it's a little tiresome. I get too mopey when it rains for too long anyways.
Today was a day of shopping. Me and my aunt went out to the markets to find a present for a friend, but they didn't have what we were looking for...so we took a detour into the mall for lunch, market style. Meaning, we walked around the food stands they had set up and picked what to eat. It's always fun eating like that.
Then we proceeded to eat some dunkin donuts and ice coffee, which was always good. While doing this, we discussed what to buy for my Dad, my Mom, and my Grandmother. (Dad's birthday is July 3rd, Grandmother's 70th birthday is soon after, and...I just wanna buy my mom a gift ^^;) But anyways, we then meandered over to buy groceries (they sell EVERYTHING at the malls, remember that) and then went upstairs where I bought a skirt and a pair of pants. Expensive. And I felt bad because my Aunt insisted that it was her birthday to me...but I wanted to pay for at least half of it and just, nngh, guilt.
By the way, I really liked the sales lady that was helping us, y'know, bringing clothes the right size and stuff. In Korea the sales ladies literally follow your shadow and ask if they can help in any way every five seconds and it always makes me feel really awkward and claustrophobic and shy. But the lady...girl...person was really nice and complimented my jewlery and she was just so much better then the other ladies who always seemed to hoarde you into buying something.
I've been debating if I wanted to play my Aunt's piano or not lately. Technically, I had the last of my lessons on June 16th and I'm done with that...but I signed up for private lessons, or the option to look into them in college..and I like piano and she has such a pretty piano. It's a baby grand and just, guh, it's goregeous. I feel a little awkward playing piano in front of her (even though she has a seperate room for it that has velvet curtains to block out sound and two doors, you can still hear the piano player).
I'm looking forward to dying my hair again (both my parents have agreed to let me do it purple, I'm not quite sure if they're my actual parents or not) and cutting it shorter, long hair takes too long to dry and it annoys me endlessly.
All of my relatives are surprised when they see me this summer, they just stare and and go, 'is that really you?' I'm not sure if I should be flattered by it or not. I think it's the eyeliner. One part of me is happy that they see me as someone new, someone that's changed and isn't a little girl anymore..but then again, I don'tn know what they really think about me. I hate not knowing everything, even if it hurts to know.
