Walking on Clouds: Gratitude, Gifts, and Gastronomic Adventures

I'm walking on clouds.
Knowing that I'll eventually plummet back to earth,
I'm trying to walk as gracefully and lightly as possible,
Pretending to be pretty as I stroll above the clouds.
I finally visited the exhibition I had been eagerly anticipating.

Light, waves, sky, shadows –
Everything I love
Captured in paintings.
I'm so grateful to Sunshine Unni for knowing my heart so well
And inviting me to the exhibition.
And this is!
The hard-to-find
National Museum of Korea Goods
<Moon Jar Door Chime>

The real thing is even more luxurious and beautiful.
In a very special turn of events,
I received the <Moon Jar Door Chime> as a gift
From the designer and creator herself!
Ta-da!
Even the sound of the chime is elegant.

Every time I open and close the door,
My mood brightens.
I find myself opening and closing the door for no reason.
The lovely couple illustration magnet,
Also designed by her,
Is just perfect!
Thank you, Unni!
I've been so lucky lately!
From an Unni I met at the ping pong table,
Whose heart is as deep and wide as the ocean.

I received a cute cat mirror
From Unni, who loves cats.
It perfectly captures my love for all things cute.
I just said it was cute to Unni
And she gave me five more cute mirrors!
Each mirror comes with its own little story.
The mommy deer and baby deer are
A gift thinking of me and my prince...
I'm so grateful for her kindness,
I gathered all the mirrors
And stared at them for a long time.
So much to be thankful for.
I once heard that everything would work out for me
After the eighth lunar month this year.
I shouldn't believe in such things... well...
Since it's a fortune reading, maybe I can take it with a grain of salt?
There were two college junior students I wanted to see.

So much time had passed,
And so much had happened to me,
That I had hidden myself away in a cave,
Only longing for them in my heart.
But I ran into them on the street by chance.
And our connection was rekindled.
You end up meeting the people you're meant to meet.
I was so happy, sorry, and grateful.
Life is so amazing and fun.
As if trying to fill the holes in the past all at once,
I talked a mile a minute that day.
A trip to Gwangjang Market with my partner.

With more exercise,
Dieting is impossible.
And autumn has arrived.
With my appetite unleashed, I arrived at Gwangjang Market
Determined to eat everything.
Starting with Yukhoe Tangtangi (raw beef and octopus)...

I devoured the Bindaetteok (mung bean pancake) so quickly
That I didn't even take a picture,
And after eating Tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) and Sundae (blood sausage)...
Oh! Unfairly,
I was already full.
I took a walk along Cheonggyecheon Stream
To help digest.

Good...
The weather is nice,
And I'm full.
Should I start again?
A new restaurant has appeared.
The line is huge.

It's garlic bread!
With cream inside.
Let's get in line.
The most popular bread is
Garlic bread with cream.

I couldn't resist the plain garlic bread and garlic baguette.
Finally, I succeeded in buying them!
The garlic flavor is very strong and really delicious!
It's run by the younger sibling of a famous YouTuber,
They'll probably be building a building soon.

I actually wanted to eat Kalguksu (knife-cut noodles) too,
But my partner said it was too much,
Saying my appetite was completely unleashed, so they stopped me.
I'll come back soon to eat Kalguksu.
Everything ultimately comes down to
Me thinking and acting ahead on my own,
Which makes my heart heavy.

From now on, I promise and vow not to go ahead of God.
My heart feels so secure.
Reunited with Mr. Won from Abu Dhabi
In the middle of Sinchon.
He insisted on buying me a meal,
Since he's getting a salary now.

I smile.
The feeling of walking on clouds is so good.
Even if I fall back to earth,
I hope my heart and thoughts don't rush ahead
And I can land safely.

I'm not good at ironing shirts,
But I can iron handkerchiefs very stiff and neatly.
Ahem...
Having a good fall.
