few thoughts 122008

1. 23rd of December is coming pretty quick, I tell ya
2. Last hurrah, here we go, I just bought last 7 rolls for this city. Once more, once more. 
3. and I also bought this handmade rainbow colored beanie. It's awesome. 
4. and I thought people were laughing at my beanie but apparently, I walked all afternoon with a chocolate spot right on my damn nose. Stylish, no doubt. Smooth, you damn right. 
5. The train ride back to central Rome is little too poignant for me. yesterday, when train stopped at Ostia Antica, I dunno...I got caught up with so many different memories. I remember when we were waiting for the train back to our apartments, I stood against the window and did this silly dance (Cliff got the video of it, I think) and I also remember how almost everybody crashed as soon as we got into the train because we were crazy tired from heat and all that. Plus, that was the day that Ashleigh made me a daisy chain...I lightly chocked up as the train passed through the station because...I dunno, sometimes...I feel like my last 3 months didn't even happened at all but it did. It certainly did and it changed me in a way I could never imagined but then, you gotta go back home and home is pretty near. 
6. I also gave a direction to get to Trevi Fountain to this Korean family who were touring around the family. They were desperately trying to find the place with such little English. I noticed their guidebook written in Korean so I offered them a help. It's funny...just about 2 months ago, I was coming back from my Italian class and got totally lost around that Trevi Fountain-Via del Corso area. That's when I bought my huge map and helplessly watched that map flutter aimlessly. But then, here I am giving them how to get to the place without stumbling a word...three months in Rome. It's kind of magical. 
7. I still trip over cobblestones though and I don't think I will ever stop doing it. I really miss Tony. LOL. 
8. No one's here in this city except me. Lilly will be here shortly but she's leaving early on Tuesday morning. I guess everybody gotta go back to their place. Even me. I am actually going back to the city that I love, I am going back to people that I love the most, I am going back to the place that I love to show off. I am going back..23rd...I am going back...
