Negative Aspects of Drinking Alcohol

     Irresponsible drinking of alcohol can cause a lot of problems related to health, money, and even your whole life. Among the negative aspects of drinking, the slightest one is hangover. Hangover is the headache and sick feeling that you have the day after drinking too much alcohol, which bothers your usual everyday life. More severe result from hard drinking are the disease of the organs, especially the liver, and also mental disorder. Usually, liver diseases are hard to be recognized, therefore, it often grows worse without noticing. It can lead to the liver cancer, and if unlucky, even to the daeth. In addition, drinking alcohol may have bad influences on your mentality, when you become addicted to drinking. Moreover, if you drive a car while drunken, you can be involved in serious car accident causing a lot of problems such as severe injury, and even death. Another negative aspect of drinking too much alcohol is that you might spend enormous amount of money considering the bad side of it. So far we have taken close look at the negative aspects of drinking alcohol irresponsibly. Too much of any thing is always not really good. It is the same with drinking. We should not drink too much alcohol irresponsibly and control ourselves. 

Red lights to office workers!

 The red light is blinking to warn you that drinking alcohol could kill you! How many times do you drink under the name of making bonds to eachother? It is ashamed to say that Korea is number one in the highest rate of sudden death in 40s and also consuming a large amout of alcohol. What do you feel about it? Can you feel that  your liver is suffering? you listen carefully. You are not made of iron. You are just an ordinary person. So you must know what sideffects you could go though when you drinking too much.

 Most of office workers probably experience the sickness after drinking alcohol. That kind of symtom representing not feeling good is called hangover. It implies that your liver is not working well because of alcohol. I don’t mean drinking alcohol is  bad. When you drink it untill you can care yourself, it is totally accepted,but what I am concerning about is that too much is threatening your health. Health problem does not  end itself. It could cause other concerns such as depression from the result on which you’ve worked ,phycological problem or economic unstalization. Your feeling not good could make your assinments not successful because you can not concentrate well. If you do those things over and over, there is a high chance you can not get promoted or get lower payment From that you may drink again to get your stess out ,but this situation goes to stating point again. It is a vicious circle.

 There is one way to get out of it. Cut it off! Don’t drink too much. The more you are drunk, the higher chances you get that you lose your everthing that you’ve made up for your whole life.  Building a castle takes at least a month ,but tearing it down takes just a few seconds. Think wise.

Valentines Day

     There are important holidays in the world, but none that say “I love you,” like Valentines Day. First, it is important to find a nice place to eat dinner. Romance is necessary, so couples like to have candle light meal with soft music and red wine. It is also good to have an expensive dinner at a fancy restaurant like Top cloud. Next, the perfect gift is essential. If you are a man, you probably want chocolate and a love letter from that someone special, and if you are a woman, jewelry and perfume is sure to make you ecstatic. Finally, expressing your feelings are the most important element on this lover day. Couples can open up their hearts and confess their true love in order to make someone mind happy.

My best freind

My first best friend is Yee Eun Ju. I remember that I met her when I was 6years old. We used to go to the same kindergarten and we used to live the same apartment. So we met everyday. Her mother was an elementary school teacher. Her grandmother raised her. She had one brother who was really naughty. I couldn’t put up with his naughty behavior. Eun Ju liked to read any books. I thought she had a lot of knowledge. Whenever I visited her place she only concentrated on the book. Sometimes that made me upset. Because I wanted to play with her but she just would sit and read books for hours at a time. That was why we occasionally used to fight. Whenever we fought together she always apologized. She was very generous and had a delicate mind. 1years later, she moved to another city. I was very sad and my mind went blank. Before she moved, she gave me two glass beads that were a kind of friendship symbol. A few years later, I couldn’t connect her but until now I keep her present.

The Blog Homework for this week (March 21-28 2006).

Hi everyone. I thougth I’d make sure the homework was clear, so I am posting about it here.

Basically, you are supposed to write two paragraphs, based on the approach we used in class.

Step #1: Create (or look at) an idea bubble network/mind map.

Step #2: Choose an interesting section of the map — a category with links to interesting ideas or things — and examine the ideas or words connected to the category you’ve chosen.

Step #3: Write a topic sentence that both introduces the category itself, and will let you write a full paragraph using the ideas or things connected to that category. Remember to think about your audience when you write this sentence.
Step #4: Write sentences for the items that are connected to your paragraph (sentences in the body of the paragraph). Try to make sure they fit well with your topic sentence.

That’s it! You will do this two times: once for whichever category you chose in the alcohol mind map that we made in class, and once for one of the topics on the mind map that you will prepare and hand in as homework on Thursday morning.

Any questions?

Kinds of Alcohol

     There are different kinds of alcohol in Korea when you have a meeting and an occasion. Moreover, according to character of meeting, it can differ choice of alcohol. First, you would drink red wine or white wine while you have dinner in fascinating restaurant for an special celebration. Wine has a sweet smell and good taste because it makes to mature in Oak from grapes. Next, if you dine with manager or your company, you almost can drink poktanju without refusing, such as mix beer with whiskey. Poktanju is similiar cooktail.  Then, when among fellow students or co-workers go for a drink, you mostly may have soju. Soju can enjoy at a stretch and matchs well with Korean emotion to be dynamic and quick. This is a custom peculiar to Korea. So, though I can’t drink alcohol, but I just love soju. However, if you drink strong liquor too much, you may take a miss for your health.

Bad things about alcohol.

  Drinking alcohol can cause many problems. Among them, there are little problems and big or serious problems. First, the cost of alcohol cannot really afford you to buy, it can be expensive. While drinking alcohol, you will waste your precious time. Next morning after you have drunk a lot of alcohol, you will wake up with a hangover like headache. Second, if you have a heavy drinking, you can be killed by car accidents. Also, the more you drink, the more you want to drink, so you can be an addiction. Alcoholic could ruin not only your relationship between friends and family but your health such as liver damage. People with liver damage can get liver cancer and be dead. Therefore, drinking alcohol shouldn’t be allowed to you guys. Nobody will want to happen such serious problems to you.

Nothing venture, nothing have

Some people said that the difference between playing to win and

playing not to lose is often the difference between success and mediocrity.

Most people are afraid of making mistakes and do not want to take the risk.

I have seen that the people who play too safely never succeed.

Life is full of challenges and in the long run people who continue doing than

is necessary will succeed.

the importance of habit

I’ve been reading the book called LIFE’S GREATEST LESSONS. The wirter, Hal Urban was a high school teacher for many years and also taught at the University of San francisco. When he taught at the University, he realized something about life and he wrote the book about it. I enjoy reading the book and I think this is a wise and wonderful book.

There are many lessons in this book such as the importance of habits and character. he says habits are the key to all success. Some psycologists believe that up to ninety five percent of our behavior is formed through habit. People might think habits are difficult to be changed, but like attitudes, habits can be changed. I am not saying changing bad habits is easy, but I believe the only thing that matters is desire. There is an old expression -you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. As I said, habits must be strong. For example,One of the common habits must be swearing. People can say they are just words, but I think the words they used revealed somthing about themselves. It must be hard for some people to stop swearing but If you want to change your old habit  like swearing you can do with the need and the desire. I’ve seen many people doing it and I am trying to change my bad habits like being lazy.

I believe good habits make the difference in everything we do.  

spring & toll.

 Spring is such a charming season, but you have to remember that attractions always have taken its toll on you. You have to go through some difficulties to enjoy  purely entire charmingness. If so, what should you overcome to get especilly spring?

 Most of the people might feel same like spring is good for going palying hooky and hanging out with freinds. Watch out! from here you are lured by the sweetness of spring. It is natural to feel like going outside and having a sunbath when the weather is absolutely gorgeous ,when you are imprisoned in the class without any force. However, I suggest you not skip classes. If you do, you will become as a first victim of spring. What I advise you here is complete your tasks fisrt no matter how the weather’s conditon. You can probaly enjoy your day or night after you do your things done. Then, I bet you feel free about your study or work and make anyday for your own! Second thing that you should be careful is getting slacker.Spring is a perfect season for taking a nap or falling a sleep. If you can not jump over those   samll obstacles , you are the victim number two. It is possible you get fascinated by them, but it should not be that long being lured. Don’t act like a loser stand up with your feet. Be strong and Don’t let spring vitimize you. Be aw ake.

 If you follow those two tips, spring is yours! Let’s praise and admire the curiously vital spring!

Why people drink?

There are many reasons why people drink. One think is peer pressure, which can be very powerful motivation. Korean thinks friendship is really important. So it’s difficult to refuge friends asking. Korean emotion affect people who are forced to drink. And at this point alcohol can make people close. If people want to get close each other, it’s very common thing to drink together. The other thing is that people tend to reduce their depression by drinking. Anyone can have a hard time, during the whole lives. At that time, people drink to get out of depression. By drinking, people can temporary make himself or herself feel up. Last thing is to celebrate. Alcohol works on turning people’s mind upbeat. So people drink alcohol happily when the party is held.

The secret of success

One of the secret of success is concentration and ideas.

Most people get frustrated when they fail and would not try again.

But people who eventually succeed will focus on what they can do well and continue doing it.

Up until now people who work hard have succeeded and for that reason we respect them.

But this has changed. In times like these, we must be creative.

In other words, people with ideas can succeed.

We should come up with great ideas no one would think up. 

 

Good Manners

I took the subway to go to sinchon yesterday. The subway was crowded. Fortunately, I took a seat beside a young woman who was talking on the phone. She was carrying on loud conversations with no regard for other people. I was so upset but i didn’t say anything. An half an hour later when i got off my stop she was still going on. People who have good manners leave good impressions.

The awful truth.

 In conversation class, I got an awful and goose-bumped truth about who I had believed in he was the one of the greatest leaders not only in America but entire world. Can you guys guess whom I am talking about? He is Ablaham Lincon. Not only me but most korean students have known him as an exallent leader. Yes, he was a good leader for white people or citizens, but not for the blacks. I would say African – American. You could say that I am stupid beacause the fact that he freed black people from under the name of slavery.

 There is a somthing to talk about it. When did he free them? It was after the civil war. I would say he could have freed them before the civil war occured if he really meant and felt sorry to them. However, he didn’t. If he thoght that blacks have equal right like white,he should have let those people free first and let them fight for their own rights,but he didn’t. What implies you? Do you feel anything?

 He was a calculated and mean and smart person as well. He thought let blacks free right after the war could affect on southernes whoes economy was run by majority group of blak. Actually it did and he succeeded in it. Before since I didn’t know  the awful truth, I had been thaught like he was the greatest guy in terms of all what he did for people.

I can not say that whole concept of him is fake, but at least I have samll eyes to see what is under the truth that I have heard and believed. I am glad that at least now I can think the other way around any truths in which are witten or taught by majority of historians could contain a kind of winners minds.

Does it excist a real truth? Everyhting is curved and distorted. You could realize by looking at the mirror. It shows the exact opposite side of real things.

There is one truth that there is no such a perfect  truth out there

Don’t lower yourslef!

 A freind of mine is a really nice person in terms of her abillty to make friends and hospitality to everybody whom she’ve met. I would say that she is warm hearted. Actually I somewhat admire her of those things. However, What i want to make sure about her is that she has a low self-esteem. Too much of self-esteem is also a problem to get along with people but to lower yourself is also a problem which  can’t be overpassed.

 I want her to be more proud of herself. She deserves it. Nothing can block her but herself makes a wall from to-be -better-life. Every single time when I happen to meet her, I always tell her that don’t lower yourself. I assume that she thinks telling and behaving like she is not ego-sentric and not good at anything are representing herself as a humble person , but it is not!

 She misunderstands the concept of a humbleness. I want her to realize that what a truly moderate person is. She needs to be see a silver light from cloudy sky.  She has got to feel she, herself is a great person and doesn’t have to be scared anybody who don’t like her! I want to her know that the fact you can not please everybody! It just impposible.

Don’t have to challenge you! by doing unprfitable work.

Hey! my Freind Get rid of your persona! and be mean!!

The weather drive me crazy!

what the hell.

The weather drive me crazy!

 Sometimes it is very warm, but sometimes it is very cold.

I don’ know what to do.

And so badly, i got a catch cold.

I get hoarse.

Im so sad.I wanna chatter with my friends, and i wanna singing.

Anyway, I don’t know the weather.

 

I don’t know which clothes to wear

Spring is coming. Thesedays I can’t figur out which day is warm or cold. It is very changeable weather. When I wear coat and a mufler the weather must be warm,even hot.  The oppisition situation happen many times, too. Yesterday I wore just T-shirt and blue jean because I expected real spring and wanted to enjoy it. That was my mistake. All the time I was outside I was shaking my body. How about today?? Due to yesterday I chose a thick jumper. Other people wear pretty spring clothes.

Sharing mind with teenagers is not easy.

I’m a highschool-part teacher at my church.

So every sunday I have conversation time with my students.

I want to talk about their life and mind.

In other words, I strive for hear my students’ worry and talk my experiences about that and pray for them.

But teenagers are adolescent boys and girl.

So they express rebellious spirits or shyness or other complex feelings.

For example, someone doesn’t look up his face while my class going on.

Or almost of them don’t  long-answer  to my questions.(answer “yes” or “no”)

Or one man puts a stony face.

I understand their respons but I feel difficulty.

When we has better conversations, sharing each other’s mind will be  easy.

I pray Iwill be a good teacher to my students.

And I hope that I will take care them better than now and make more comfortable our relationships.

I love all of them….

I need excercise.

I need excercise very much. I feel not only very tired but also back pain.

When I ran every day last year for three month, I can feel wonderful effect. I was suffering from anemia and back pain. After running -actually, it was brisk walk-, I was healthier than before absolutely. Excercise make some muscle in my body and my shoulder hold up. However, after I stopped exercising, I started to feel pain again. I always used to make plausible execuses to myself such as bad, cold weather, tired. From now, I will not.

I have a plan about it. I can’t do it every day because of an institute. Therefore, I will exercise every other day for two hours.

If you keep your health, you should try to do exercise right now.

 

a morning person

Are you a morning person?

I am definitely not a morning person. It’s just hard for me to wake up early in the morning. However, in this semester, I decided to try to wake up early so that I don’t waste time sleeping in. Unfortunately I have difficulty coming to classes on time everyday. I want to excuse being late as due to a long distance from home to the school.  It takes about one hour and a half. The problem is I knew it would be hard before I made a schedule. I cannot blame anyone.

I have another problem. I’ve been trying to read a book everytime I get on the subway, but I am too sleepy to read something. If I don’t sleep in a subway I become so tired when I get to school.

Did I make a mistake? I want to be a morning person.

Tradition of wedding

Today, one of my arond got married. So I went to the marriage ceremony hall. Thesedays, korean wedding ceremony similar with western countries’s. We wear a dress and tuxedo instead of ‘Han-bok’. We use western music (like a wedding march) instead of custom music. And ater wedding ceremony, we have a honeymoon. But long time ago, our ancestors didn’t have any honeymoon.

But we still have a part of tradition.
we called “pyae-back(?)”. The bride and the bridegroom wear ‘Han-bok’ and also their families wear ‘Han-bok’. Their parents tell them well-wishing remarks and advise for the future.

I was impressed about this ceremony. They looked like real Korean. I hope that it is continued to exist.

W.B.C -

 As soon as I got up in the morning, and have a breakfast, I watched the baseball game with my father.

The match of today is a little lacking. Merely, It makes my heart hurt not to make a one score at playing Japan.

But Korean athletes played well. I’m very well as going on to the semifinals!

There is the other lacking thing.

It is the press or the broadcasting that flustered when Korea went on to the semifinal.

They were very quiet after Japan defeated Korea. Just my thinking…

Anyway, I’m thankful to atheletes for make a boast of our own country ! hahaha ^^

My friend’s birthday!

After I ate breakfast, I turned on my computer. And clicked my ‘minihomepy(CYWORLD)’ habitually. That moment, I was found that today is my friend’s birthday. Me it surprised and I sent text massage to friend, “Happy birthday to you! so, what are you doing for your birthday?” That time, I thought ‘May be, he have a nice plan’ But he sent massage to me, “I see the roof in my house alone.” I was alarmed. ” There is something wrong,” I thoght. I was so sorry for his birthday. Because, I know that how lonesome of alone on birthday! Moreover, like to me, He has living away from his family. So I call out him, and I spent my time for my friend. Though I didn’t have many things for my friend, but I felt happy that I gave someting to him for his special day.

After all, friend is best. I realize the importance of my friends once again.

The thing I have to do…
