Moving out

So, I moved out.

With 7 boxes and some extra luggages haha!

  22 is not too young to move away and yet, my first time make me feel both excited and nervous (not so uncommon feeling I guess). Most people move out/away for their own reason: Study, a new job, a new life, ... mine is still pretty blury but it's definitely for a new thing. 

  I've always been the kid thats rarely stay at home due to travel and work, but being at home is such a precious feeling, such a precious feeling that just a message from my mom made me burst in to tear in the elevator (leave me alone, I'm that kind of mommy-little-girl and love it!)

 First week was not the best. My hippie-self were thinking of starting an only vegetable and egg diet and become vegetarian, which then lead to a sudden seizure which cause by lack of calcium and protein from meat (lol) - apparently my body literally rejects to respect my decision. Great. Then it was a whole week of sore-throat and a bunch of medicine (and I'm still coughing - thanks medicine). Right after I feel better, the little Red (let from now on call her that) pay me a painful visit by, well, punch me everywhere (thanks). Wow, this sounds like my inner body reaction really hate me being here. 

 But wait, there's more (haha): It's rain almost everyday since I'm here (2 weeks) - Not like romantic rain or fun rain or yes, finally it's rain, nope - It's a 3 4 hours long rain that comes with lighting and thunders. 

 I also got some several roll-eyes here after saying that I'm from Hanoi...

Ok, now now, I'm not that "the sky is falling" kind of person, first week was not the best, but it definitely not the worse as well. I mean, look at all these food my boyfriend - my BB made!

YAMMEH!

   Yeap, if you were there, you spot that picture right! We went to a Beer festival - Saigon Outcast beer festival!

2 of my fav in the picture below (Ok Kiss is a Cider, not a beer but it delish!)

 The raining part, we can't control the weather (one of my favorite superpower) so instead it was a lot of laying around and movie, which then again is pretty chill and nice.
 Apart from all the roll-eyes, being an alien in a new place also gave me lots of great sympathy from others aliens (thanks Mr at the butchery for giving me good price for everything just because I'm also from the North) as well as other non-roll-eyes Southern (most of the time I'm still pretty confuse when you talk to me too fast - but you guys have been great to me!). Being away from home make me realize and treasure all the littlest things.
 We moved in to an almost empty apartment and made it our home (apartment tour when everything is in place!!). Making our place cozy is probably one of my most loved things to do here!

Some pretty little things we got from the Saigon Urban flea market! Love the golden basket!

  Now, let discuss about moving in with your boyfriend. Moving in with anyone, even your best friend is when you actually have to do something with that bad habit your mom always been nagging about (sorry Mom). Me and BB dated for almost 2 years before this decision was made. Of course , sometimes, I still wondering myself if this was a good decision to make at such a time we did. And of course, as a young couple who we are, we fight - haha. But in the end, living together is a big test for any relationship. It could be a hard one, it could be an easy one, but I've learn that good things come with hard work. More over, realizing how BB has been giving me all the great support I need and overall is truly a caring person (look at all the food above!! yassss), that was so far the best part of living together. Me and my great guy, the future shall write the rest of our love story.

 Moving was definitely hard, or at least harder than I thought. But for sure it was a " level up" to understand and see so much more great things in live, a challenge that not everyone could but should try to do at least once to truly appreciate what you have and somehow, love you more by learning how to take a good care of yourself.

 So much things to do lately (ok, also been lazy too)! But I will try to update more on my blog! Also, I will start writing in English instead, kinda love how directly to the point this language is (cause Vietnamese can be " ahm, how do you say this" sometimes). But I will still write in Vietnamese sometimes when I feel like there need to be more expression - haha!

Please keep reading!!
