Baegil Chukha Hamnida! 100 Days of Love!

What the hell. That was a freakin’ chessy title. It’s so cheesy, I know you wanna get your bread now and eat it with my post title. But I don’t care and I’m not even gonna apologize for it. Mwahahahaha! I’m in love so you, my poor reader, just has got to deal. Okay?

Yesterday, July 10, Jimmy and I celebrated our 100th day together. If you are scratching your head, wondering why we would be celebrating our 100th day of being officially Krimmy, then clearly, you haven’t seen My Sassy Girl yet. This whole 100 Days thing is a big deal for Koreans. When babies are born, their 100 days are celebrated as well.

Ever since we got together last April 1, I have been looking forward to this day. I have even thought of extravagant plans, events that would put the romantic scenes in Korean movies to shame. However, I realized, why the hell am I the one planning the event? I’m the girl, for crying out loud! Plus, I felt like I was always the one surprising him! And so, I waited for this day. And boy, he did not disappoint.

How can you not cry when you see this?! How?!

Yes, friends. He got me an iPod Touch, which I’ve been kind of eye-ing to get but never got around to because I’m kuripot like that, and I’d rather spend my money on clothes and traveling. More than the gadget, however, he made an “I<3U” out of post-its, on which he wrote sweet nothings. I DIED. I SWEAR I DID. jwakdhfcbdnlajedakh!!!

So yeah, how did we spend our baegil anyway? French toast-meatloaf -orange juice for breakfast. Wheee~! Then off to MOA for Karate Kid, which he very much enjoyed. Unfortunately, such films are not for me anymore. I was bored out of my wits halfway through the movie. I know Jaden is cute but I didn’t quite care. Good thing, we went skating right after, which turned out to be a lot of fun! I can’t skate to save my life but we did look super funny/cute on the “ayslink” (ice rink), I must say.

Because no cliche date would be complete without arcades and shit, we went to Tom’s World (which is casino for kids) and did the purikura- a must-do for ‘Asian couples’. Then we just wasted our money away on stupid but fun games, where we earned 66 tickets from, which we traded for Spongebob erasers of win. We capped our date with a dinner at Mann Hann because you must admit, their food is really good and VERY affordable. No, this isn’t a paid advertisement for the resto but if they want to give me money, why would I say no, right? And oh, just in case I forgot to mention, we wore couple shirts for the first time, much to his embarrassment. LOL.

The Krimmy Couple 100th day attire. Yes, the caps say “The Key… to unlock my heart” NAKANAMP!

Why am I blogging about this? I know these things are very personal and private and should be kept in our memories instead. But sometimes, memories fail us. I’m writing this here, now, because I want these feelings to be immortalized in words. You see, I wasn’t able to do my plan. I was supposed to write him a letter and read it to him out loud in the middle of the mall, while I try EXTREMELY hard not to cry. Obviously, it didn’t happen. I was even just praying before our meal and I was breaking already. So I’ll just write my message here for Mr. Kim though everyone and their mothers may get to read this. At least he won’t see me in tears.

Bebe,

Happy 100 days! I know it’s only been three months but it honestly feels like we’ve been together for years already! I don’t know if other new couples have the same bond as we do but I’m very, very thankful that God gave you to me at this time in my life. For years, I’ve prayed that He send me someone to love, and every time, it would always end in a miss… or a heartbreak. Until you came along.

You added more sunshine and joy to my already blessed and colorful life and I can never thank you enough for making me feel so much loved. It’s only been a hundred days but you’ve done more for me than many other people I know. You take care of me, you take my stress away, you made me realize that there’s more to this world than deadlines and parties and coffee breaks. You say you love me every chance you get and it means so much to me. YOU mean so much to me.

I have a confession. I never thought I would love you as much as I do now. And though it scares me sometimes, I just let go and let this love overflow, and secretly hope that it reaches you and you’d feel the trust and love that I have for you. Thank you for being good to my family and my friends and for doing everything I want, even if you think it’s gross or pathetic or embarrassing sometimes. Thank you for sharing your life with me and I can’t wait to learn more about my Yong Jin.

I don’t know what lies ahead but I’m just really, really happy that you are with me right now. And that we love each other. I want the whole world to know how lucky I am that you’re with me right now. I’ll take care of you, love, don’t worry. You are now part of my dreams. Here’s to 100 days, 1,000 days, 10,000 days and a million more! I LOVE YOU.

Kring

ps: Good thing I wrote this in my room. I’m a ball of tears and snot right now. Hahaha!
