Did I just talk? Really?
I just wanted to share something.. I was on the mall this afternoon to see some friends after a really long time, (That's not the point) and when it was time to get a cab, a Korean couple was before us. They had a hard time negotiating / telling the cabbie where they wanted to go and for how much, I sorta stepped in and like, translated for them. They thanked me and got on the cab, and when they were far away that was when I realized I spoke in Korean, with Korean people, and not just writing it(or talking to myself, my sister, or the TV)!! My friends were far from me--they meant to move away because they were embarrassed of my shamelessness in approaching the foreigners.
The couple looked shocked when I first approached "Jeogiyo...Towajulsu issumnida." which I thought meant "Excuse me, I can help you." (My friends really went further). and the girl was like, "Really? Kamsa hamnida!^__^" and so I asked where they wanted to go. See, a festival is going on the city "Sinulog Festival" and some roads were blocked and where they wanted to go was one of those places so they had a bit of a problem with the cabbie(who couldn't let them off exactly where they wanted) so I (sorta) explained to them that. If I wasn't in a hurry to get home I would'v gone with them, but of course I couldn't.
And my beast friends like SLOW-CLAPPED when the Korean couple got on the car and I went back to them. They were like, "Just go to Korea already. We don't need you here!" Some friends they are huh? Haha!
But, anyway, my point is... if there was someone more shocked than anybody, it's ME!! Na ya! I think I'm going haywire, Hangkuk-o overload, is what it is. I mean, I didn't know I could speak like that.. Haha..
And honestly, I'm kinda scared or weirded out by my own self when I can understand long phrases or like complete sentences when I heard them...or when I read something in english and the korean translation comes in my head. I even sometimes think in Korean! Or sometimes, fail to find an exact english word for a korean word.
Just keunyang..
I should stop. Keuman haeya dwae! Igeon andwae! Word vomit
babbling again.
goodnight everyone!
