A love story

Dear Stephen,
According to the TV news, it will be a big snow in the middle area of Korea and very cold below -10 degrees today. But it’s not true. I woke up in the morning as I still wanted keeping asleep. I wore several clothes to keep warm because of the cold weather. I felt quite hot in the subway and the office today. The weather forecast is lie. It’s quite often happened that weather forecasts make wrong.
I’m going to the cinema with a friend tomorrow. I’m going to see ‘Déjà vu’ starred by Denzel Washington. Have you seen it?
A friend works for the internet portal site, design-jungle. She’s an editor. It’s a famous site for designers. I’m not familiar with very stylish things. I like only simple things that my room is white wallpaper and no photo frames. Do you like decorating your house?
We’re going to have a brunch at noon in the COEX mall then see the movie. After that, We’ll go to a café, maybe, Tiradentes.

I started a Yoga class this week. Wow. When it’s almost finished a class, the teacher light off and we closed eyes. She told us keep silence and don’t think anything just keep the breath. I remembered my first love at that time. it’s silly. I don’t know why he appeared my thoughts.
It’s about my first love. I met him at the riverside when I was 19 years old. he came alone. I sat down near riverside and he was not far from me. I saw him first and retuned my face to the river again. He watched me and came next to me. He came here to feel fresh. I was in there like him. We started talking about each other’s life. We’re very young and easy to open heart to others. We became a friend not love. We phoned everyday and met once a week. He was a student but I had a part time job. I didn’t go to university after finished high school. He was surprised but understood enough because he didn’t like to study his subject, physical science. He was clever and smart. I liked his good characters. He has unique idea that nobody wondered. He’s tall and good looking. I became love him as time goes by but I couldn’t show my feeling to him because I didn’t want to break the friendship with him. I didn’t make sure that he loved me. A friend advised me that I had to hide my feeling in front of him. We went to army service for 2years then. I visited his camp to see him when he wanted to see me. After graduated from university, he studied the master’s course. We were still a good friend. Almost 7 years later, I didn’t feel love but just liked to meet him as a friend. I wanted to keep in touch with him forever. But he turned to love me. It worked very differently. I didn’t know how I solved it. Of course, I jut left it alone. He didn’t call my any more. We didn’t see for almost 2 years. Maybe it’s closed the relationship. One day, I wanted him to come to my office but he didn’t receive the call. He left for Vancouver. He studied the theological academy. He sometimes told me he would learn about that. When I decided to study abroad a friend asked me to go Vancouver not other. But I believed if we’re fate we could meet again even if the reality was far. But it’s fail. He’s got married another woman. It’s fate that he didn’t come back to me. It’s over.
I sometimes wondered if he’s alright and happy. The past is sometimes very beautiful in my mind like this.

It’s a weekend.
Stephen,
Have a good time and take care.

Hi! The most I like to watch are documentary films about countries, see,a nature and people(many of them BBC). They are colourful with a pleasant speaker voice. (And many wear off Holywood romances!) All the best for you.

When you relax and put everything away from your mind, then you could see those you can't see . And it is very sweet to remember the first love before, right?. I hope that one day when I look back of my life, there will not have a thing that I regreted. I hope I could remember the foolish things had done with my friends, the first softly,warmed kiss to my girl. I hope that one day I trace back my life, there would be a lot of smiles on my mind !

Hi Soyoung. I'm happy to read your blog one more time and to see that you have found a way to lead with your stress. I was listening a program about "the centenarians", people who reach the age of 100. There was an interview with an elderly lady who said she used to eat fruits, vegetables and she just worked until she got married. Her husband were sent away to the war and she read a lot. I'm not sure if all these things together were good for her health but I think that the stress itself doesn't cause health problems but the way we lead with it. I think you did the best choice. Yoga is incomparable. If you focalise the sea, the sky...in your mind, you will see that the happiness is not in other place or person but inside your own heart. Anyway, this is a real love story with an unexpected end like the weather. At least you have been following your mother's advice not showing your feelings. Do you think it was good in this specific case?

Hello!I from Brazil, I like very pictures, it´s simply sensational. Best regards

Hello Soyoung! Yoga it´s a really nice exercise. It teaches you to breath properly, improve your posture and it´s so relaxing. I practise Body Balance. It has some Yoga moviments, but also Tai-Chi moviments. It´s very relaxing. Do you know Body Balance or Body Sistems? Have a nice weekend.

Love is so complicated,someone're lucky,someone didn't.But above all,just you felt in love,Is it the best time in your life, and enough ?

Hi again! From my sketchpad for you. On november, sweet past time Two figures fly on canvas in a while. Any faces they become Just two shades stay in tie Two bodies with no replay! Soyoung, please you can´t look at city-map where that Palace is. I had tried it berfore that Kyrill terrible came with my four spectacles on a nose, but not successfuly. I suppose it lies as weather forecast as well. Do you have a bit snow which I´ll be cleaning around the black of flats upwards next week? A survive training. See you!

Hi So Young! Practising Yoga is good for health. My mother does it too. She told me to take up but I haven't tried. I think the memeories about 1st love is hard to forget but yours are nice! It's not a custom that girls declare love to the boys in my country too. But I did that silly thing by accident. Now I just want everything to be back, just want him to be my Big Brother but the thing is that he may not think so. You have a great week!

Hey there! Thank you very much for blogging so interesting stuff! I wish you lots of progress with yoga. I practise it also and just feel how the stress is going out through the tips of fingers. That's definitely a good deal. And about love. Well, you never know how it turns, better let the life do her business. Take care, stay safe!

Hi soyoung!I just want to say that love is a "present", we call it gift. It's nice to find this sweet story,may you happy!
