Midnight in Suwon - Day 27

 
 
CHA CHA CHA!
 
The excitement of the 'Dance Sports' Cha cha cha class is still beating my body. Today being the first day, was really a fun experience.
 
Today, woke up at 9am which was considerably a late time. Mom didn't wake me up as she know that I'm no longer working. I got up and mom prepared breakfast for sister and I. As we were eating, we had another quarrel again. Although I admit that I somewhat start the fight most of the times, it was pretty obvious that sister wasn't so pleasant when talking to me. Even this morning, I asked her to sit properly and she got enraged again and the fight outbroke during meal. Mom didn't say anything... Maybe... she should be lamenting inside her for having only a small table for meal... I didn't want to fight further... Mom.. was pretty obvious from her words and actions that she is fine with me. Hmmm...I guess.. I'm indeed not at the position to forgive someone but to beg for forgivance.. .but I guess.. mom on her own way. felt sorry for saying those words that had hurt me till now.
 
I finished the meal and prepared to leave home without knowing where I should be going. I went out not knowing where to go. I only had a plane idea that I should go and register for 'Dance Sports', as I was quite eager to learn it. I took a bus to the center and while I was trying to find out where the registration office was, I looked around those beautiful decorations on the wall and those facilities that the center had.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In this society where everybody is smart and selfishly pursuit only for their own good, the society that has lots of silly people who prefer to share with others and love to sacrifice, is the good society.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The place where people learn. The Suwon Edu.. The place where people of all age come to learn and expand their range of experience.... Every room were filled with students be it kids or aunties. All those works were done by the students ... and those words.... fluttered my heart. It beat my heart to have found out such great place for learning. I made my payment and went out to see the views around this area.
 
 
 
There were many public places around this center. To the left was the Suwon Worldcup stadium which was to my surprise. I had been going to the stadium for so often yet did not realize the edu center was just beside. In front, was a library called, Changnyong library. Me, being the library resident, had to drop by to see what was in the library. Like any other librarys in Korea, there were study rooms, digital room, hall, lounge and reading room. One other speciality it had was the cafeteria. It had its own cafe for people to talk while drinking a cup of tea or coffee.
 
I first, booked a seat for computer and did my stuff as usual. After finishing what I always do, the question that was stuck since ytd, came up. It was about whether I should play football in SIM. I took a seat at the lounge and thought through.... I thought... what would I do when there's no football during my free time. People can say. reading books and all those that are educational and beneficial to me... but that actually wouldn't be helping.. I would feel even more stressful.... Joining the football team does not mean that I will fall behind for studies. When I was in Secondary school, I attended all trainings including all the optional ones and still exceled in studies by making my name on to the honours' roll list. I do know football does not affect studies. Its just the matter of how I spend the time when I'm sitting on the table to study. One thought came up to me... This thought is the thought that I had been keeping for really long. The question is..
 
When.. would be the time that I, as Youngsub can play football the best. I do not stay young forever. I grow old and my body would get old too. When the time comes where I am free enough to be engaged in football heavily, if my body is too old for it, I wouldn't be able to perform out the best I can for my body in my life. It would be a great regret if I can't see how much I am worth as a footballer and what's the best I can play... I.. being at twenties. has to start on to take an action to prepare myself for the best I've got. I wouldn't get to play college football if not now. That hit me up! and made me to conclude. I'm going to play football! However, remembering the past, I reminded myself the three things that I will always remember. First is to always think of mom who is worried of me playing football. Second is to always remember that studies is my first priority. Lastly, was to play crazily if I am to play. Make sure that I get into the team. Make sure I give my best to leave no regrets when I fail to reach my goal. Play hard work hard fillial piety hard.
 
Thus, I decided to take the gym membership and begin to prepare my body for football. But.... But...But... I suddenly thought... hahaha i'm really really indecisive... ha... I then thought that if Im going to play football crazily, while I do my studies, why not I take on the football lessons. I do not have basics for football. I did not learn from an academy or sth since young. Basic being the most impt in football, was crucial. This thought gave myself trouble for the next few hours and in the end... it made all in vain as I decided to postpone my decision after I know whether I am getting the job thus I can be clear on how to fix my schedule.
 
I went home first when it was 5. On the way, I dropped by at Lotteria, the Korean fast-food restaurant to try out the new burger they released today, called ' Ramen Burger'.
 
 
It was basically bread changed for noodle. It was so difficult to hold the burger and as I was eating all the noodles fell of while eating. It was a burger that I wouldn't want to try again haha But still, I thought to myself it was a good experience as it was an issue in Korea today.
 
Reached home, and mom was cooking dinner for sis and I. It was tukboggi. When sis and I sat, mom figured what how sis and I wouldn't quarrel about eating area as we had fought in the morning. Then mom told me... to have dinner slowly and lots of them... my comments about her words indeed changed her.. Also, she told me to reach home earlier from now... I unconsciously told her that I am more comfortable staying outside.... Mom could have been hurt... Ha... Should have just kept quiet.
 
After dinner, I counted for 7:30 as I was to leave home for the Dance Sports. But.. attending this was secret to mom. I didn' want to tell mom about it. Mom wouldn't like the idea of me taking up sth that wouldn't be helpful for my studies and secondly, if I had to quit this course halfway because I have to go and attend the football lessons, mom would be again disappointed that I can't last long with anything I do. Thus, I told mom that I will go and exercise and left the house although it was pretty obvious that it wasn't like exercise. Mom asked me half jokingly whether am I seeing any girl. I escaped from home and reached the center. There were full of people inside. All auntie, uncle, grandma and grandfa. As I just took a seat awkwardly, the grandmas from far there screamed and welcomed me. To them, I should be like some idols. I was the youngest and they welcomed me heavily. One grandma came and touched my hands for quite a time. After the noisy period, the teacher who was 31 years old stood in front and begin the lesson. He called on the attendance list and started the lesson. This was the intermediate class, so everyone of them had some experience with this 'Dance Sports'. I was the only clumsy one. The grandma told me that the beginner class taught them how to move their steps and intermediate class is going to include hand gestuers and feet movement at the same time.
 
We first learned to make feet movements. It was hard catching them. Most of them seemed to be familiar with the movement as they had already learned it during the beginner's class. The movements were fast but slowly really slowly, I began to get them. Hand movements were easy as this only included a single routine movements. Although the lesson stopped quite a few time to fix my postures, the lesson went smoothly and I was happy to learn something. Also, it was some kind of dance movements that I saw in TV and I was actually doing them. It was such fun experience and I didn't know how 50mins past so fast. Really so fast that I didn't realize time passed so fast.
 
I left the center as soon as it was finished as mom would be worried of where I am. It was already like 1hour and 30mins since I left home. Luckily the bus came straight away and I reached home before it was two hours. Mom was really worried. She again thought I was getting beaten by some teens. Mom again asked who I met and I denied any relationship with girls. She seemed really worried and just now came to my room to ask whether I have any troubles outside.
 
Whatever happens... family remains family...
 
Today.. is also another day that warms the world because I have them.. and hope tomorrow will be another one that I can share myself...
 
Goodnight...
