There were Korea vs Norway the soccer game. Many people gathered a city hall to aid Korea team from 12:00. I saw them through TV. They looked like excited. I think their passion for thr soccer is very great. However, I didn’t see the soccer game, because I didn’t bear sleepiness. So I heard effect of the game in the morning. All mass communication said that it was very the disappointed game, because Korea team didn’t show their special color and they didn’t make many shooting chances. Mass communication also said that this game showed ability difference between main players and minor players,because this game didn’t participate main players. I felt that their ability difference is very large. So I concerned it, because main players can get hurt during the world cup period.

At the 2002 world-cup, most Korean people encouraged Korean national soccer team at the stree with red shirt. But I wonder whether Korean people really like soccer or not. As you know, we have own soccer league, K-league, but we have not enjoyed national league even now. And most old women do know who are players in Koeran national team. Acctually we do not like soccer and are not interested in soccer games, but we just like the success or winer.

I think most koeran people seem like they are crazy about soccer, but that is not ture. We do not like soccer. We just like the success of any kinds of sports. That is all reasons why we incouraged Korean soccer team with red shirt. I hope Korean people really like soccer.

  I could hear about a dream of forthcoming conception related to me during a dinner with my mother last night. She had two kinds of the dreams, now I mention that only one of them. My mother’s dream was started the scene that a few women were washing next to my mother at a small brook. In there, suddenly, a splendid and enourmous carp got close to my mother by swimming from upside of the brook. She talked to me with close her eyes at that time the feature of the fish was still stayed in her momory. In dream, the carp tried to be embraced in my mother, but she pushed it out with an annoyed air. Just at that time, the fish went swimming against with a natural flow of stream.

  Most adults answered about the symptom of dream to my mother, the carp was appeared in a dream, that means your baby is son. However, I was born by my mother as a woman. If she accepted the carp into her heart at that time, maybe I didn’t know wheather I’m a man or not. Fortunately, I’m really satisfied with myself as a woman. I was just interested in a dream of forthcoming conception she told me.   

 I read a book which is named Davinci Code. The author of that book tried to analyze Christian in a new and different way so that it has generated a sensation of Christian culture. Actually, I am a sincere Christian, but after reading the book, I also have started to think about my religion, and I doubted a little bit. Indeed, I don’t believe all of them because it just a fiction which has be made by the author, but that book gave me uneasiness of my religion. I really wonder the book is just novel. I also want to know what is real.

 Some days ago, I saw a TV program about one family. According to the program, the all family members have suffered from their father. The father was an alcoholic, and so he brought some problems on his family when he drank. Frequently, he committed violence without any suitable reason, and he even threaten his family with a knife. His wife ran away and his poor children got mental disease. Their life seemed like the hell. I thought that all of them need some change.

 These days, in our university, I can see many posters which say, “I’m in search of my notebook,” or “If you find my red wallet, please leave it in the library.” Unfortunately, however, most lost properties scarcely go back to their owners. Even though bills are posted up here and there, those who stole something don’t care about that. They may think they are safe from detection because nobody saw the act. That is one of the important problems in our university. Some solutions such as installation of CCTV are needed to solve the problem.    

 I saw Oprah Winfrey show. It is about BDD(Body Disorder Disease). That is, people who have this disease think that their faces are very ugly. This talk show appeared the man who have this disease. He think his face is like a monster,but he is very handsome. He was art-school student and his dream is a dancer. However, he always think that he doesn’t become a dancer, because he is very ugly. And he has the habit that he excessively see a mirror to check his face and hair. So he spends over five hours before he come out. After all, he droped art school and he was discharged company two times. He can’t do all social activities. So he always stay in his home. I first think that this disease is a problem of his thinking. If he changes his thinking, he can cure easily. However, this disease is not simple. It is dangerous as much as physical disease, because it can’t cure only a medicine and whenever it can relapse, if it is cured completely. I think to appear oprah winfrey show is very surprising effect, because it shows that his disease is cured about a half. I hope to cure his disease as soon as possible. 

Yesterday was voting day. we had a local election. There were big competitions among the candidates. Every morning it was so noisy by logo songs that they advertise themselves. Our parentsdecided to vote to “Hannara”, because they believe the president “No Moo Hyun” who is from “Woori” ruin the Korean economy. After all, “Hannara” won the election. They got 78% of seats  through this election. I wish our city became better and have subway. “Jung Dong Young” who is representative of “Woori” resigned today morning. I wonder the 2007 president election.Most of Koreans don’t believe politicians. I hope new people do well and develope our country.       

These days, we can see lots of beggars when we take the subway. Some people give some money to them, but I think that is no good way. Of course we know they need help, but we cannot help them by just giving them some money. If we give them some money, maybe they do not want to work for money.

Instead of giving money to them, we have to make them enough strong to live by themselves. If you really want to help them, just encourage them to work or give them some kinds of job information. Maybe that is more helpful for them to have a job. I mean to give some money to beggars is even harmful for them in the future.

 Everybody has a sign of zodiac. It shows a personality that divided by a birthday as one of superstition. A sign of the zodiac reflects the general property without consideration of each individual’s personality. Therefore I will have a try that compare my horoscope’s property with my personality. I was born on the seventeenth of February, 1983. So my sign of the zodiac is an Aquarius. Personality of Aquarius in general is friendly, loyal, changeful, independent, outgoing and so on. I have the same personality of horoscope as changeful, outgoing, friendly, independent, creative and progressive. First of all, I’m changeful. It makes emotionally unstable, so I sometimes damage to others’ feeling. I think it is somewhat bad. Second, I’m outgoing and friendly. So I can get acquainted with a person easily and adapt myself to my environment. It causes a good personal relations. Third, I’m independent. I was educated by my parents ‘look after yourself!’. It is a help to society life. Also I like achievement of my work’s completion. Fourth, I’m creative. I like to be fancy. It makes plenty imagination. So I can get a lot of ideas and these are connected my all life’s creation. Finally, I’m progressive. I think present is very important and I’m future-oriented. It might look somewhat resolutely. But it produces usefulness for real life. A cautious prediction usually bring about good results. I compared  my horoscope’s property with my personality. But it doesn’t hit in all. In other words, it doesn’t hit at all times because everybody has different personality out of it. I’m slightly surprised because it guesses right over fifty percentage. But I think that if people have the same personality according to a sign of the zodiac, the world will probably become odd and unpleasant. By the way, I could check my merit and demerit so I had a valuable time. 

It has been a long time since garbage sorting system was implemented. However it seems that many people doesn’t separate the garbage properly just because it is inconvenient and people are indifferent to it. Yesterday, I saw a foreigner who looking for a trash basket to separate his garbage at the bus stop. There are three trash basket. one is for plastic goods, another is for paper and the other is for non re-cycleable. But the letter was only written in Korean. So the foreigner was embarrassed. So I helped him. Now in Korea, there are a lot of foreigners, so we have to mark English and Korean together. The purpose of this system is to reduce the amount of garbage and save resources through recycling and to preserve our environment. Once the environment is damaged, it takes a lot of time and efforts for it to recover. So we must observe the system for us and our future generation.

I read an article in the newspaper about excessive credit card issuing. Banks, insurance and card companies are competing with each other to attract more customers, and they sometimes break the laws. In some cases, they even issued credit cards to students who make no money themselves. Actually, when I was freshman, someone tempted me to make a credit card. She told me “If you make this card, you can get many advantages. And of course, you don’t need pay annual fee.” So I made it. But after one year, I knew that her saying is lie. I have to pay annual fee, so I took off the card. I heard all the materials used in making cards are imported from other countries. Many adults say they cut up the credit cards  as soon as they receive them from the card companies. What a waste of dollars! I hope the card companies do the right thing. Don’t push the people and make them a debtor.

 I did presentation in media class yesterday. I prepared the short news about caffeine. It shows two new studies that drinking coffee six cups a day is not harmful to heart and the way that some people metabolize may cause the side effects. I felt interest about it, because I thought that coffee is very harmful to everyone and I wondered how it affects in our body. So I chose it, because I want to show new facts to everyone. However, everyone was likely to feel boring and difficult, because speed of the news was very fast and it made them confused. I had the plan that I explain about the news in detail after the news showed to everyone. However, when I stood up front the everyone, their expression is likely to say that it is tiresome and indifferent. At that time, my head became white and I was very confused. So I could not explain in detail and I felt oppressed, because I could not explain my thinking in english clear. After all, I finished presentation quickly. After presentation finished, I felt depressed.

I am picky about food. I eat many kinds food and at the same time I don’t eat many sorts of food. I know that It is best to have a well balanced diet, but it is not easy. My mother and I always are on diet, but we always fail. My mother and I have a big appetite. It is very difficurt for us to escape from temptation of food. My favorite food are raw fish and crab soup. Whenever my mom make those, my stomache is full as if my stomache is broke out. The problem is my mother often make it because my father likes those, but my father is not fat. He is very thin. That is why my mother and I fail diet. What should I do ? Do you know the way?  

I hate summer. It is hot and sticky. I don’t really like that kinds of feeling. It is getting hotter and hotter these days. Today, a student turned on an airconditional in Mertimedia room.  Last summer I went to America. When I drive a rent car to go Las Vegas, I had a skin problom. Even though I turned on an airconditional in my car, It had no use. I had a sun allergy. I realized what a afraid sun is that time for the first time. According to Internet article, the hole in the ozone layer is almost gone. If it is true, my skin problem may be gone because the ozone layer cuts off most ultraviolet radition from the sun. I hope the hole in the ozone layer is gone soon totally. Then all kinds og skin probloms could be gone.

I really like Gord’ class even though It was very difficult to me. Today, Gord lead me think about my essay in other ways. Whenever he teach me, I am happy and funny to realized new thing. I think what I meet Gord is lucky. When I was sudent in the past, I learned the way how to write novel, poetry, essay and so on in Korean, but It was little different , so when I learned the way how to write essay for the first time from forigner propessor, I was very confused. But now I am enjoy that because Gord teach us eagerly.  He always smile even we didn’t understand or we misunderstood and then teach us until we understood what he teach. I think I am a lucky woman because I can take class forigner professor class. This semester is almost done. I want to say “Thank you Gord.” 

I went to gyengbokgung with my friend last weekend. I didn’t go there in long time. I like that place. It is good when I date with someone. “Gyeounbokgung Palace was built in 1395 as a tribute to the permenent happiness and prosperity of Korea’s kings, their children and the people of the nation. It was burnt down during the Japanese invasion of 1592, and was left in ruins nutil being rebuilt in 1865 during the 2nd year of the reign of Prince Regent Daewongun. It is very beautiful place. I recommend that place when you date. we are very pride of that place. You know we have a history during 5000 years. If you go there, you could feel it. I am very pride of my coutry and culture.

I don’t like dog because when I was little girl, a dog bite me. That time I was shocked, after that time, I am very afraid of that, so I don’t understand people who love dogs. When I went to America, I met my freind’ freind. His name was jhon. He said to me many things about his dog. He said “I have a dog. He is nine years old, so He don’t want to move. I grow him from when he is a baby. I love him so much, but I was not interested to that. One day, he invited me in his house. That day  I could see the dog closely for the first time. He is a white and big dog. He looked very nice, but  I was very scared him. After a few hours, I realized why people like dogs. He is very lovely. After that time, I am not afraid of dogs any more, but I am still afraid of Korea dogs. Now I want to grow a pet.  

The life of my family begins at six o’clock in the morning, but  I always keep late hours. I got up 10 o’clock exept thusday and thursday because there is withing class in the morning. I am always trying to accustom to get up early, but It is not easy, so my mom is angry every morning. Because I get up late, I can not eat brackfast. It may be why I am not health. One day I asked my mother that I want independence, but my mother did not permit it. She think that If I looked the my room door, It is just my independant day. Of course, I am not agree with her, but I don’t win her because I have no money, I have to obey her. Finally a few day ago,my mother suggest my independence because I didn’t obey, and my mother was so angry. But I didn’t give up even though I really really want because she want me to earn the money. I envy people who their parents live in other location. I want to live alone withougt warrying about money. 

The sixth of june is the Memorial Day. On Memorial Day, people pray for those who died for the country. Not only many korea young people but also othre country’s young people died in Korea War. It was so sad. they must be a someone’ valuable son. Their family must be so sad. If my brother died in war, I would be crazy. I am afraid of war. I hope It is not happened again. I paid my respects for a lot of  war victims.  

  It was rainy day last weekend. Before I became an university student, I hated that day. because I did’t want to wet my clothes  by walking on the street with an unbrella. However, I really enjoy the sound of  falling rain and the air smell. The more interesting is that rain makes all over the world clean. Of course, now I don’t mind to wet my clothes. Especially, I like listening to my favorite music while I’m hearing the sound of rain form the outside of window. Sometimes, I delight to fall in gloomy feeling, so I become more sentimental heart in rainy day. Someone says “To get older is to understand loneliness.” Suddenly I thought I became to get older unexpectedly even though I couldn’t awake to that. Because I have enough consideration from even unpleasant problems to some tirfles things. It looks to me, Being stay alone is sometimes essential in our life.   

 The large quake happened in Indonesia at 27 May. It is the worst disaster. I heard that 130,000 people were made homeless and killed at least 46 hundred people by the earthquake. There are two reasons that it makes many victims. One is that most furniture made by wooden. The other is that it happened at dawn. To make worse, scientists suggests that a volcano explosion can be promoted by quake. Food and medical supplies are also running short. So many people are waiting relief supplies. I saw their breken home and sorrowful face through the news. I’m so sad and grieve. I think that the disaster is very fearful, because it is deprived everything suddenly. Although I can’t feel completely thier grief, I think we should help them actively through donation or distributing relief supplies. I hope that Indonesia quake victims become smile again as soon as possible.  

  Most people have been muttering their busy life. Of course, I sometimes complained my hectic schedule during this term, but that’s really helpful thing to live energetically. The person who always spend his life busily has an ability to deal with his time practically. The main key is that don’t hold off somethings what we have to do. From one week ago, I had a lot of assignments and presentations in class as well as preparing for simulation job interview in the meeting that gets together to success fiding a job. Also my house was held relatives of my mother side regular meeting.

  At that time, I was at a loss what to do when I watched my diary. I felt that it’s afraid of coming tomorrow and the next day, but I tried to have affirmative and bold mind about that in order to control myself. By fiinishing a few assignments and presentations up to today, I was able to build confidence a little bit, and I was satisfied the past day with a full of worthwhile. Yes! We can get great fruits  in our life by spending busy shedule. At least, this heavy schedule gives me the power of energetic life. 

I have a big worry about my future thesedays. I’m a seniar and I’m going to graduate from the university on next Febuary.However, I don’t know what I want to do and which job is suitable for me. Back to my childhood, I had a lot of dream in my future. I really liked playing piano, so I wanted to be a pianist. One day I frustrated myself because I failed to be a winner in piano contest. I lost an interest in piano, eventually I gave up to become a pianist. After that I wanted to be a translator. I liked English very much when I was in high school. I realized that job was very tough because I had to be good at both English and Korean. Again and again I had dreams and gave them up many times. Now I must decide in which field I want to work. In order to find my aptitude and job I am going to research and look for the best job that suitable for me.

Most people might have blind date at least once in their life. Personally, I had four times. The more I had blind date, the more I hate it. The reason is like this. First, it’s unnatural. When I meet someone on blind date, I have to be formal. for example, I am about to say good-bye after dating with him. I should say,” I had really great time with you” even though I actually didn’t. also, it’s very uncomfortable. I don’t know what to say with someone I’ve just first met. Topic is usaully boring like “what are you studying for?” or “where do you live?” These are very typical blind dating words. Sometimes I feel that it wastes time. if i don’t keep in touch with him, the blind date will become nothing. However, sometimes there is an exception. I can be a friend with him. Some people say the blind date is kind of interesting thing because they can know how other people live by talking each other. It’s still unhappy for me, though.  

 I wrote many letters to my friends at middle school, because e-mail and cell phone didn’t spread widely. I have all letters taking from my friends. I often read letters. It reminds me middle school life and it makes me smile. My friends at middle school still intimate. So we often talk about it as we meet. We continuously laugh thinking at middle school life. spent happy school life, because I had good friends. When I went to go my friend’s home , I often read letters that I sent to my friend. I can feel how my feeling was and what my problems were through letters, because I wrote from my worry to trivial things in the letters. However, I don’t write a letter nowdays, because e-mail and cell-phone spread widely. I think that convenience often makes us miss, because we have enjoyment from a thing of the past. 

 I saw sex and the city the story is about fake. I often see sex and the city  they are talking about L. A Guy.  they said New york men are perfect guy. they like neurotic guy from network. samanda went shopping and get some bag. they thought it was more expensive maybe 3.000$　but samanda said it is not real  150$. but they said it looks so real . they  would never know it wasn’t real Fen야unless  they looked at inside lining. it was pretty good. we got more .. I saw the sex and the city for a long time. I like New york accent. I usually attracted to british accent but  now I am fascinated with New york accent.

 I read the book “Trip left for the sky and lake(하늘 호수로 떠난 여행).” It was written by Shi-Hwa Lyu. I like his book, because I can think my life and neighbor deeply through his book. This book also gives me a lot of emotion and interest. He wrote several episodes during the India trip. I can feel India livelily through this book. He first wrote that culture and thinking of the India were strange, but he realized true meaning about it. So he ended up positive view about India. For example, he lost his shoes as he slept in the train. He found one Indian put on his shoes and he got angry to the Indian, but he asked imprudently,” Why is it yours?” Everthing in the world isn’t master. We only rent everything in the world. Therefore, he insisted that this shoes is not yours. He first was very angry, but he understood his saying. And he wrote Indian all are likely to philosophers. I don’t understand their thinking , but I can feel that they have pure mind. They have not a desire to possess. So they don’t fight and agonize to have a lot of material things. I envy them who have composure and liberality. Nowdays there is the changing wind among young people, because young people think their mind strange and they seek to economy development of the India. However, I think their mind is not strange, but is special , because it only has Indian.

  I saw the movie “Hitch” as a matter of fact, I like main actor “will smith”. althought he is African-Americnan, he is a holly-wood star. he is not only hip-hop singer but also holly wood star. I respect him in aspect of action. I watched it on DVD without sub title. I understand it will become a hard to catch it. however  I promised myself. i watched it  three times until I understand it. it was boring and I would like to see it with subtitle. but I had a patience and watch it three times. after movie , I seemed to become  headache. so I went out of door. and I breathed fresh air to full. I read script loudly , watching the movie.

   My relatives of my mother’s side have a regular meeting every month. This time took place in my house. Most of them have spent their life with hectic schudule, so it’s tough to get together with each other nowadays. Even though we don’t usually meet, it was really great to see just their faces. Also, I could enjoy the whole time with my newphew and cousins who are twenties like me. I was satisfied with this type of family meeting because I think that we have to try to keep good relation each other. However, putting myself into my mother’s shoes  to prepare welcome relatives is big stuff, so my sister and I suggested ‘moving buffet’ to my Mom. It provided from setting all food to attangement after meeting. My mother contents herself with the way. These days, I’m trying to lose my weight but I accepted myself to enjoy eating enoughly.
