Dear [이름],
Happy Monday! ^.^
I would like to say sorry first for not checking your composition last weekend.
I was so busy. Hahaha! ^^
You were right that I had a good time with my family.
I had some great and enjoyable time with them on both Saturday and Sunday.
But, that\'s not all.
I also met one of my female friends.
I met her yesterday at 8 o\'clock in the evening.
We had some rice, Pancit (which is a Filipino style of Chapchae) and hotdog.
Hahaha! It was just a very simple and short dinner with her.
She got full easily.
In addition, because she ate her meal very fast, her stomach went crazy. Hahaha! ^^
I think you know what I mean.
However, even though it was a terrific Sunday for me, it wasn\'t still complete.
It is because I didn\'t buy my watch\'s bracelet or strap. T.T
I think it was because of my laziness.
Anyhow, everything went fine still, so that is a wonderful thing that I should be thankful for. ^^,
Anyway, about your composition, I just have a question.
Is KTX used around South Korea?
That\'s all for now! ^^
See you very soon! ^^,
... Teacher Paula ... ^.~
