Planning, planning.
So after two years of not really hanging out since we were both gone on exchange, I got to see AD and surprisingly I realized it was the first time I really had a one on one meeting with him. It was nice to find out a bit more about his personality and his interests. (Among other things, we seem to have a common affinity for languages.) Then it was kind of random, but we planned on the spot a trip to NY with a few other people to go see a common friend and... watch opera. I was a bit surprised that he was into it, but actually now that I think about it, he did mention it in the past. It's amazing what you can discover and rediscover about people who surround you. Sometimes a friendship which wasn't so strong in its beginning can develop after some time... Anyways. Last week end of January, don't look for me, I'll be in New York City. What I like about this whole situation, is that it wasn't one of those "yeah yeah why don't we do that and then we never end up doing it" kind of situation. Right on the spot the guy goes: "I'm writing it in my planner now. Do the same, we are going for real, no bailing out." Then we called F* in NY and he confirmed he could host us and hang out for the 4 days we decided. We need the confirmation of one more person, but I'm sure it'll be fine.
What else? I saw JH unni in visit in Montreal. Shortly, but nicely. She's going back to Korea in 2 days and she doesn't know if she can come back. I told her about my plan to go to Korea in May and we decided to travel a bit together. It was also an unexpected plan, but I am looking forward to it. There are so many places I haven't seen in Korea... I really feel like rediscover it as a tourist and go to all those fascinating places. ^^ It seemed like a real plan too, so I really hope it works out.
Tonight was also the bitter defeat of the Habs vs the Caps. Then the bitter defeat of Team Canada Junior vs. Team USA Jr. Meh. No comments.
More bitter, was the farewell dinner of YJ unni. I didn't quite realize she was leaving until now... But thinking about it at home, I am much sadder than I was at the dinner. She's one special kid that I didn't pay attention to as much as I should've. I always get blinded by certain types and I end up swinging by a lot of amazing people. She's one of them. I didn't look at her as well as I should have and tonight I felt like I was regretting not spending that much time with her. I suddenly regretted not contacting her more often. She has a very pure heart, that unni. I guess we don't really choose who we get close to, it's more of a natural process... But next time I see her, I think I'll have learnt to appreciate her presence more and to appreciate that beautiful heart of hers... Kind of like W*. I found out about her so late and now I'm kind of wishing really hard I get another opportunity to get close.
Hmm. Life is one of those complicated things that one cannot grasp fully. I keep reducing my friends' circles and I think I am starting to slowly see what real friendships are all about. Maybe noone can think exactly the way I do in terms of love, friendship (and maybe very few people can fully grasp my overall concepts), but I guess I am learning to accept that fact. And I think that even if we don't think the same way, it doesn't keep me from finding people with good values and with whom I can share a durable and deep friendship. What matters, is to be able to sort out who's a "friend" and who's a "Friend" with a big F.
