Hey Tabulas!

It's been a while. I do remember promising to write about my trip to K-pop land in my last entry and I still haven't done it. Will try to work on that and to visit you more often. For now, I am going to write about something else.

Dressing up is one of the things I look forward to everyday. I have this view that if I look good with what I'm wearing, it will be easier to get through the day. As I like dressing up, people who dress well capture my attention. For guys, a nice outfit is definitely a plus. I guess there is always an exception to the rule because two years ago, I met this Asian dude who managed to make me feel like the world stopped even if he looked like he just got out of bed. Think: flip-flops, trousers that are way too long and a messily buttoned shirt. I guess it's the Oriental look that got to me.

Asian dude and I went out last year after a friend set us up. I wanted Asian dude to ask me out after that night but it never happened. Instead, what I got was a message about a month later saying that he was leaving the country for a new post elsewhere. He was just here on assignment. I gave him chocolates as a parting present and because I learned from watching Asian dramas and anime that giving chocolates is a way of telling a guy you like him. I figured that since he was leaving, it would be alright to do that. I told myself that it didn't matter if he was interested in me or not but I also hoped I could get a second chance to spend more time with him and show him how I really feel.

I know that the reasonable thing to do was to move on. That was what I intended to do, until I learned last month that he went back to his motherland  to renew his visa. He was staying there for about four weeks and when I found out that the friend who set us up was visiting that same country, the first thing I did was to get him a present. I told my friend to give it to Asian dude when they meet up.

When my friend came back,  she showed Asian dude's message for me after receiving the gift. My friend also told me Asian dude was thinking of coming back here. I got really excited but at the same time I was telling myself that it may be something he just said and it might never happen.

My friend told me last week that Asian dude is definitely coming back. He is supposed to arrive during the weekend and he plans to stay for a couple of months.  

I don't know how things turned out to be the way they are. I can't help but think that the universe heard what I hoped for and has decided to give me my second chance. I am happy but at the same time, I am worried and scared. Why is this happening? What should I do next? What if things don't go the way I want them to?
