Onew's Diary from 'Sons of the Sun' [Part 2]

Barcelona is such an interesting city.
It's dynamic, exciting, and full of variety. So there is no time to get tired with it.

I think it'll be fun to bring the person that I like or someone I marry to do a honeymoon trip to Barcelona much later [in life]. I also think I'd like to bring my family to find this place a few years later.

That seems fun, I keep thinking of seeing people sitting in the small cafe located next to a gentle church for an hour rather than while visiting small store or places in the alley.

As the time keeps flowing, Barcelona pops out in my mind. "Ah, I spent such a happy time listening to the church's bell sound in this city." That's what I will seem to remember.

It makes my heart needlessly flutter when this city hasn't woken up [t/n: when it's really early and people aren't around] and been quiet, the bell sounds seeping along the roadside. Its' sound can make all the worries and troubles vanish.

In that kind of place, it will be better if we have someone that we can talk to while cooling down coffee that we want to drink, it's even better if the person that we're close to are the kind of people that can understand our heart, even it's just a bit.

I don't mind if it's not like that though. The angle of sunset that we see from the bottom [t/n: we're faraway below the sun], the amount of light, rumbling sounds,
a good scent feeling of what foreign atmosphere gives..

I think I can be happy if I'm there with someone at those moments.. or I don't mind if it's just alone.

The first reason why I want to look back to Barcelona's dim situation, my only enjoyable leisure place, is the time I have in "Siesta".

It's like the whole city has been borrowed (?), the time when I stepped on the old ground/road slowly, the time when I experienced of taking a sip of coffee while listening to the church's bell. The times when I let our mouths/words close, and let our hearts open.

It's too bad to gradually record that time. It will seem easier to feel comforting if we put it into words rather than by taking pictures like Key does. Somehow, I'm closer to an analog person rather than digital person.

"I wrote that." The expression seems so bombastic to explain a moment and leave it in the memo.
"I recorded that." The expression is moderate.

I carry a little note while going for work, and I always pour my thoughts from my mind to it when I have time. These days, I benefit from my phone's memo apps. However, compared to taking photos, I seem to leave many notes on my phone.

Since young until now, I wrote diary, but I don't even want to see the diary I wrote when I was young back then, even though I'm curious, I don't even want to open it because I will get embarrassed.

Would I be embarrassed right now to discover the things [his life] I know by my myself only?

Still, I just want to save it.

Instead, during elementary days, my friends sometimes read my written letter, then most of my friends said "yellow clothes really fit you" while seeing my writing and laughing for awhile. Did I wear yellow clothes often?

I obscurely like the feeling of walking around old buildings in Barcelona.

When I feel sentimental and walk in this place, I'd think of taller and magnificent buildings would be like this over modern buildings, "Man, I was born earlier than your grandfather's grandfather."

That feeling is so fun.

I like talking to my heart, don't I? It feels like I'm walking in a movie, it also feels like I'm walking in a fairytale.

It may be that people who come here and be in this place are having their moments like they're taking a time machine and going to different times.

Time flows when I think of ideas. That kind of time is oddly attractive to me.
