Homesick

It's so strange.
A few days ago I was still thinking that it was hard for me not to fall in love with Romania; all of a sudden everything around me is just wrong.
I'm not saying that my culture is better or something like that, but they're just too different, and recently I just feel that I'll never really get used to the culture here.
I'm also very confused because there're so many things that I don't know how to judge or how to set the standards.
I don't know if I should trust when someone promises something, since most of the people here change their mind or postpone things quite often.
I don't know how to distinguish if a guy likes me or just treats me as a friend, since everyone here is so close with others.
I don't know if I should be on time, since it sometimes happens that when I'm on time on one appears and when I'm late people are waiting for me.
And I'm fed up with being special because I'm the very rare Asian girl here.
It sounds funny but I miss the feeling of being an ordinary person and no one will pay attention to you when you walk on the street.
Here forever I'm just a guest, people treat me nice and friendly because I'm foreigner but I can never overcome the culture and language barriers.
I want to think positively, but I just can't get these negative thoughts out of my mind.
Yesterday at the business support fair I just kind of exploded when a bunch of naughty kids kept asking me to write Chinese characters for them.
All their laughter and words about "China" made me feel like a special monkey from Asia in the zoo, and when I realized I already shouted rudely at them "I'm not writing anymore!"
I myself felt so surprised that I lost my calm and did that to them, so I just said "I'm very sorry, but I'm not writing anymore" although they might not even really understand what I was talking about.
After that, I knew it was super unprofessional, but I couldn't help crying for around half an hour at the stand.
Besides, it never rains but pours, tonight on my way home a guy rode a bicycle pass by me and touched my ass.
After two minutes, another guy, or the same guy, I couldn't really tell, walked by me and also touched my ass.
I didn't know what to do besides looking at him angrily and then walked faster away.
Anyway I guess God is fair since I was too happy in the past half year.
Sorry for being emotional in this post and I hope I'll get over this low-tide period very soon.

update

This month has been wonderful for me.
I met many new people: new AIESEC members, friends' friends, new interns in the company, new trainees, OCs and visitors of the job fair, strangers during my journey…
And they all have one thing in common: extremely nice and friendly.
It's just so hard for me not to fall in love with Romania.
I also had some new first-times experiences during this period: first time to see real snow in the city, first time to hitchhike with a coach (not car, but the carriage with a horse), first time to climb up the mountain with the height that I never think I'll be able to make it, first time to have the LC meeting with 100 people in the ballroom of a nice hotel, first time to wear cheongsam in a job fair to present Qual Design, first time to go for a beer or party eight times in a week, first time to involve in the OC team of AIESEC Cluj, first time to try graphic design…good or bad, I just felt so lucky to have the chance to experience these first-times.
I truly enjoy this kind of life in Romania, full of surprises and I never know what's waiting for me next.
Now I'm excited about the business support fair in a few days since it's a national fair and Qual Design is the only advertising agency which can participate.
I also can't wait for the coming National Preparation Seminar because it's the biggest national conference of AIESEC Romania and this time I have the chance to involve in the OC team and the special track for trainees.
Look back my traineeship so far, although sometimes I couldn't help but feel really frustrated about some culture differences and barriers and even until now I don't know if there'll be one day that I can overcome them, I just feel so luck to be here, to meet the people that change my life.
And even though sometimes I felt frustrated, it was still great since I wouldn't have the chance to experience all these if I didn't leave my comfort zone.
One of my important goals for my traineeship is to find out my personal vision and what I want to do in the future.
Right now I have to say I only know that I don't want to become a total workaholic and would like to spend time on the people important to me.
I don't have a clear vision yet and sometimes I feel even more confused.
Why?
Because after experiencing so different culture, what I believe before doesn't seem to be so true to my anymore.I guess it's a good thing for me, and hope that by the end of this traineeship I'll be able to discover my vision and future plans gradually and then have the courage to pursue what I really want.

love and relationship

"If you love someone, let it be and set him free, if he comes back to you, it's meant to be."

One of my good friends once described me: "You always know how to grab opportunities to get what you want, besides love," which is really true.
I'm just extremely pessimistic and insecure about love and relationship.
Ten years ago I still believed that true love can change everything, but now I've lost this kind of courage.
It's always like this; when I finally met the guy I like, he just doesn't love me back as much as I love him.
Therefore I always fail to maintain a long-term relationship and most of the times a loser.
The thought of "It must be because of the fact that I'm not good enough" always comes to my mind.
Although I so much want to be a wife and mother in the future, somehow I just have a feeling that I won't be able to make it.
I can't help but sometimes being afraid of being too close with the guy I like because I don't want to get hurt.This traineeship will be just perfect if I can also overcome this big problem of mine.

double standard

Why do most of us always have double standard?
When we do something that might hurt people who care for you, we tend to tell ourselves that it's not a big deal, without or refuse to notice that the harm might have been caused.
And when the people we care about do the same thing to us, it just hurts.
