Not about how my day went, but about me such my past or my favourite thing/person.
Sometimes, I forget where I come from (wow I sound like some celebrity), or I'm feeling down sometimes, so I guess this blog is to pass some time.
I was born on August 13th, 1994. My parents told me that the summer of 1994 was the hottest summer in Korea. They told me how ugly I was...that they thought they brought the wrong baby from the hospital. They thought God had punished them because they had been making fun of how ugly their friend's baby was. They would put me in the middle of the room with my mom and dad sitting on the opposite sides of the room, staring at me for hours. I eventually got rid of the huge afro I had, and started looking...uhmm...like a girl!
When I was only 3-4 (I think) my mom's parents had a fire in their house leading to my grandma jumping out of the 3rd floor. For months, my mom had to take care of her so my mom told me that she didn't spend that much time with me during my childhood. My grandma still can't walk for a long time without having to rest. My mom guesses that the fire had started when a smoker put his cigarette in a pile of clothes my grandparents had left near the door. What a jerk!
A funny incident that happened when I was 6 was how I lost my mom. I used to live in an apartment in Korea and beside was a playground. At lunch my mom was making fried rice while me and my brother, David were playing outside. Living in a 3rd floor, we rarely used to the elevator. My mom called us to come up since lunch was ready. My brother being a poohead he is left me alone and went up by himself. While I was about to go up the stairs, I see this giant shiny silver thing - the elevator! I go in and like any child would clicked ALL THE BUTTONS. Next thing you know I'm in there for 2 hours crying my eyes out. During this time my mom is running like a crazy woman asking everyone where I went. She even went to the police station and guess what the police man told her? "Don't worry, just stay calm. She will come back sooner or later." My mom freaked out. She even grabbed the police man and started yelling at him. LOL! In the elevator (I clearly remember the images in my head) I was so scared but I remember the doors opening and a grandpa came out. He was tall and nice looking. He asked me what I was doing by myself. He took my hand and brought me downstairs. I clearly remember my mom waiting for me outside the elevator and I ran to her. We both cried. :') I think my brother got in so much trouble that night. NOOOOOB :P
