A Date with Choco and Otter.

I just had my date with Choco today and I had a great time! :)

We met around 12:45PM almost 1PM and I was going to meet up with him in front of Pizza Hut, just the walk alone to meet up with him got me so nervous... I was extremely jittery, nervous, excited, anxious and it was just so much of all those emotions, I felt like I might throw up butterflies.

With all the cars parked by Pizza Hut, I almost missed him but we met up and I was so happy, I wanted to hug him but Choco is just too shy to do that... Instead, he gave me a hand-shake. (LOL) And the first thing we both said to each other was, "Oh~ We both gained weight." (laughs)

Since we both didn't eat lunch, I asked him what he wanted and he said, "Anything. (pause) Wait. Anything EXCEPT Korean food. Please (in begging form)" and in my mind I was thinking, "Mmm, rebellious~" so I took him to Italiannis and it was on me. Dessert at Red Mango and other activities were on him~ He told me that when I go to Korea, he'll treat me to kimbap (Korean sushi rolls) and ramyun (instant noodles of Korean brands) LOL. Mmm, yes. I traveled thousands of miles to be in a country where I can eat what I can make at home.

So, we both went to Italiannis, ordered and talked for a few good hours then we went to Red Mango to eat dessert and talked about what he needed for his business and then after, we went to Timezone, played some games. He schooled me at basketball by 20 points BUT it wasn't a fair start! My Timezone card delayed! Sigh. And some shooting games and whatnot. (giggles) And then we went to Fully Booked and exchanged some money then it was off to The Coffee Bean to chill and we talked for another few more hours.

We talked about things such as our plans for the future, economics, cultures, country relations, vacations, dislikes, how the American money is being managed by the Jews, China, China taking over the world, Korean movies and dramas that we watched, interesting things on the news, North Korea and other things.

Oh! And he showed me all the cakes, mousses, macaroons, chocolates and other desserts that he's been making in Korea! Ohmygod, I was about to swallow his cellphone with all the yummy goodness on his phone!

Choco even brought up that we were talking a lot. (laughs) From 12:45PM ~ 9PM, we were talking. Not really eating but talking and I didn't even realize that we were hanging out with each other for eight hours! But I did bring up the fact that we just talked more today than we have ever did in our four years COMBINED. Because in the beginning, he wasn't very good in English so he couldn't converse too much with me and he was always so shy and I was shy and my Korean wasn't very good at the time so I relied on constant cute Konglish. But now, he's more confident but still lost some vocabulary due to being in Korea for a long time. It was nice to help him with his pronunciation, grammar and word-assurance in English and it was nice that he could speak in Korean when he couldn't express something and I could understand, help and he can help me with my wording as well. It was nice.

It was nice mainly because I forgot how nice and comfortable it was to be with Choco and it wasn't until a couple hours before we were to part ways for the night that I realized how much I missed him throughout the whole four years we haven't seen each other. I know we email, text and call from time to time and if we're lucky enough, we could chat on MSN but actually being with him made me realize so many other things. It was great and I had a really good day today.

WHen he had to catch a cab to see his roommate/friend - because his friend was waiting for him for dinner - he called me two minutes after getting into the cab to tell me how happy he was to see me, how glad he was to be able to hang out with me and how he missed being around me. Also, promised to see me as soon as possible. Alright, I'll be waiting.

Too bad we're both too shy to take pictures together. :(

Happy hearted,
Otter
