February 7, 2008

It was 6am when I opened my eyes from sleeping and I heard a guy, talking so loudly over the radio about lunar's new year which was today. At 7:30, one of my relatives was supposed to pick me up and go to my father's biggest bro's home. his nick name Pharmacist Seo because that's what his job is.

Arirang Tv is always good to watch. It doesn't seem that they were born in Korea they English is good enough to inspire me. Oh I got to be in a hurry because of "Friends" sitcom I watched after Arirang News :) Wearing formal suit isn't still comfortable to me even though my friends told me tons of time that suit looks good on me as well as military code. Should I have stayed in the army? lol

So many people were at Pharmacist Seo's home and I couldn't recognized who was who due to the fact that kids were growing up so fast. when I got to living roon through the hell that kids were running, screaming, there was my grandfa's picture on the middle on the table with uncountable lunar's new year's food. oh,, he passed away many years ago but I still remember " be wise, be healthy, be good to all people" he said when I was 12years old. He was smiling to me and I said "Hi!" father Seo in my mind.

There were about 30people on the line to start our tradition ceremony for father Seo. They looked so happy and they looked like that they were really appreciate that father Seo made us and so we were here with people whom they love which was why we were doing this traditional stuff. Each person may pray for something that they want to make come true, such as wealth, health.. etc. We believe our ancestors take care of our life in Korean culture. We believe in them. I don't know if they help us I'm sure they help us feel peace and happy like part of the reason people believe in God.

one got married and had a baby, one just started running business, one didn't get a job who was me :) one just find good information about stock, I didn't speak a lot, just seeing them, talking was good and they looked so happy :)
