Unexpected

Description

A story about a young girl, that came to Korea to go to college and take a degree at Design and Animation.

Never knowing that her beauty would take her places she never though of going, even for a small person like her.

It all began with a simple night out like any other.

Foreword

My name is Song Maria, im half-korean and half-portuguese. My father is Korean and my mom Portuguese, i was born in Portugal.

I also lived in America where i went to highschool in L.A., when i finished highschool at the age of 19 i came to Korea Seoul to go to college. My dad taught me how to speak Korean ever since i was little so i always spoke Korean with him when were alone, as for my mother since i grew in Portugal since for ever i know portuguese. I also know other various languages.

Im 152cm in height, but i never tell my true size i always wear high heels to hide it. Even though im very small my body has good curves, that means that my body type is like an hourglass. But i have to be carefull with my body, i have the tendency to gain wheigth easily... but that doesn't stop me from eating dessert. Even though im comfortable and extremelly happy with my body, i actually felt fat when i came to Korea. Luckily that feeling went away when some of the girls envied me and my curves.

Im a brunette with long straight hair and my eyes are a hazel green, they are big almond shaped. My skin natural color is a pale white only during the winter, normally my skin is a light brown and if i get sun bathed i have olive skin and my hair becomes a dark blond. Wich for me its when i feel most beautifull. My face is oval shaped, my lips are round and my nose is straigth-edged.

I made quite an impact when i came to Seoul, when i started college all of my classmates were looking at me... but soon enough i made friends. Im a very nice person so having friends and meeting new people never bothered me, and my mom always thaugh me to be nice. I can almost say that i was a bit popular in highschool. But having many friends is not the ideal, my dad also thaugh me that friends are the best thing, but its better to have little and true than big and fake. So im always nice with everyone but there's only two people who i can call my best friends. Since my name is hard to pronounce here in Korea my best friends adopted me with a new name, DongSun. They told me that means East and Good, i actually liked it and it became easier for them and happier for me. I was getting a litlle frustrated when they couldn't get my name right, even the teachers and classmates started calling me DongSun. It got a whole lot easier.

Living in Seoul is an adventure, coming from a person who lived in the coutry side for 14 years. Living in L.A. helped dealing with the city. Im living alone, my parents went back to Portugal when i came here. Its not my first time in Korea, i've been in Busan many times to visit my dad's family but being in Seoul is a first. Luckily i get along really well with my grandma and grandpa, so they sometimes visit and bring me food and help me out a lot and its really nice to see your family once in a while since your living alone. As for my parents since our time difference its 8 hours i can only speak to them late at night or really early in the morning, but its worth it. This sounds cheesy but to me my mom and dad are more like friends than parents. We have fun together lots of times.

The thing that suprised me the most when i came to Korea was the celebrety and music impact it has. Since forever i loved every type of music, having a multi-cultered family gave me a whole new perspective on, well, everything. I mostly listened to american music, the rock 70's to 90's and the present music, my mom and dad showed me a little of portuguese and korean music but most of them are baby ballads that they sang to me. So when i came here, my ears felt a new kind of music and i fell in love with it. Being knew to this type of music is a lot to take in and to know, luckily my friends are teaching me the ways of k-pop, and also the dramas. Im way into deep in the dramas... there's no escape. My eyes have now seen things that i never though they would and i couldn't be more thrilled about it. Living in Korea is defenetly the best.
