The best way to attract man’s attention.

Many women want to be a popular among the men. There are many ways to attract men’s attention. For example some women dressed well and show pretty appearance. And some women just nice to many man to hit on him.But what is the best way for female to attract male’s attention? According to the internet poll, the answer is just pretending not to interested in man. In korea acting like they are not interested in male is most effective.  In western countries, i guess that many woman are aggrassive to associating with man. And males are more active. But i think korea culture is different.   


Strong religious country

Is United states a religious country? Many people are saying that way. America was constructed by the puritan and founded on the protestant ideology. We can also see it on the 1dollor bill.  A phrase “In god we trust” inscribed into the 1 dollor bill. Christianity ideolgy prevails in America society. But i’m not sure whether the America is strong religious country. obiviously many arab countries are strong religiouse country because most of them are tend to sacrifice themselves for religion. And they have no concept of individual freedom. If we can say that America is strong religious country, several requirement should be qualified. There is some occasion that we should choose betwween individual freedom and christianity value. For example, abortion and gay right issue are like that. As well as Americans give first priority to individual freedom, most of them have christianity value. They have to choose only one and they cannot get both of them.  I think that’s the one of reason why America cannot become strong religious country.    


Happy Time

I met friends who hang out with in university for celebarating one friend’s birthday. All of them not me alreadly graduated. Some went to graduate schools and others got jobs and work.  After graduation  it’s not easy to meet all together. But yesterday we met all together and talk about many things, their new jobs, my school life and our professors and so on. Of course we happily celebrated her birthday. It was really a sweet pleasure to meet my friends again such a long time.


Memories of April Fools’ Day

Yesterday was April Fools´ Day. Did you lie yesterday? I didn’t lie , but I was taken in the lie of my friends. T.T  Anyway, there is memories to me about April Fools’ Day. When I was high shcool student, our school students tricked teachers in April Fools’ Day. all the students changed classroom with other class, or missed a class. Teachers always used to very upset. Looking back upon, that was very funed. And I miss that time. How about you?


About my dream

When I was a elementary school student, I want to be a painter. But I realized soon that I don’t like to draw a lot, so I gave up my first dream. When I was high school student, my dream was history teacher. because I like it and interested in many historical events, But I realized soon studying history is not always interesting and my grade was not good enough to go to the college of education, so I gave up my second dream. I thought if I’m good at English, I will make a living anyway. That’s why I chose this university.

 But I have no specific dream yet. Many people change their dream over period of time. Some may achieve their prime dream, others may compromise their dream with present life and the others may still be confused about their future as I do. I wonder what I will be doing 10 years later. Probably I have to think about what I truly want to do, sooner or later.  


Billy Elliot

Couple of days ago, I watched a movie named Billy Elliot in Intermediate English Conversation Class. It was story of young boy who bacame famous ballet dancer after suffering many difficult situations. Its background was twenty century UK. At that time there was big strike of miners in UK. Billy’s father and old brother were miner, so they were on strike too. Billy’s father didn’t accept Billy to take ballet lessons at fitst, because he think it is feminine and girlish. But finally he changed his mind and made every effort to support his son.

 It was very sad and touching movie. I don’t know what is exactly movie’s secret mesage but I was impressed a lot. Mr. Jim, my professor, sad there were two communities in the movie. One is a family and the other is a labor union of miners. Our community is very important and necessary to live our life, but sometimes we couldn’t help leaving our community, he said. Billy’s father gave up striking and went back to work for his son’s tuition. He was in agony because it is kind of  betrayal to his cowerkers and even to himself. (I think when he cried, it’s most sorrowful scene.) Billy also left his family to go royal ballet school in London for his dream.

 Sometime I may have to stand against my community for more valuable thing. I hope I would do the right thing and make a good conclusion when I have that time. and I hope to have a good sense to find movie’s other good messages like Jim.


Enduring eating something at night is one of the biggest tests of our life.

It`s 3:30 A.M. I am staying up now. Whenever I don`t sleep until late, I become hungry and would like to eat something. As you know, if anyone eats something at night, it will be the big damage to our body and is possible to gain some weight.  So, I must tolerate it. When we eat something which has high carlories, we may feel  better at the moment, but It will be deleterious later. Enduring eating something at night is really one of the biggest tests of our life.


My skin trouble.

Nowadays, I’m worry about my skin. By the time I was a highscool student, I was pride of my clean skin. But, I’m crazy as my skin trouble now. An allergy is harder than before. I think I have a freckles. So, I try to improve my skin I will eat a meal and sleep well, exercise regularly. And, I’ll take a ‘Mat-ssa-ji’ by a sea weed in every days. I’m most anxious to improve my skin.


The origin of the pepper

When people in Korea loved hot tate of a red pepper that is major element of hot foods? In fact, a red pepper isn’t the origin in Korea. A red pepper is a plant that was imported from Japanese at Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592. As korean wasn’t enough foods, the most of foods was salted cabbages. Unintentionally, they put in a red pepper. And they began to put it in foods. So, hot foods is famous for Korean traditional food style in the world.


It is rainy day, today!!

Today , it goes on raining. It means that spring is coming. Above all, if spring comes, I would like to travel anywhere, but I am sure that I am busy with my schoolwork. However, if I have a spare time, it is certain that I am going to anywhere, which is beautiful and warm place, with my close friends or family. So, I am pleased with this rainy day because it  says spring is coming. I would love to tell all my classmates that even though you are weary, tired with  a lot of matters,  I hope that you spend all the time in enjoying  spring days which are warmer than before. Take care and have a good weekend!!


Let’s go global explorer program

I wish I would pass global explorer program, but it is difficult to find out freshman or sophomore, because in this year our school doesn’t accept our application without  freshman or sophomore. So, we have to find them to go global explorer program. As I don’t know well my juniors how I can do it? I posted on cafe of our major, and I am waiting my cell phon for 3 days. However, nobody call me.

  How many people who are freshman or sophomore are there in this class? If you are them, how about preparing global explorer program with me?


I’m innocent!!

In this afternoon, I had lunch in cafeteria, and I went library with my friend. Because I have some books that have to be returned. As soon as I put borrowed books on the desk in order to return, the worker checked the books, and said to me like this. “Give me arrearage.” I wondered that reason, because I prolonged borrow-period surely at the day before yesterday. Therefore, primarily, I should have returned my borrowed books yesterday, but I could return my borrowed books up to 8 April. So I thought that reason is strange, but I couldn’t help paying arrearage charge and turning out. Before my last class, I had some spare time, so I investigated my prolonged-record through internet. They were existing there! I prolonged my borrow period exactly!! I still have one book that I have to return. In this situation, I perhaps have to pay arrearage charge about my borrowed book soon. I don’t know which thing is right. It’s not important that I have to pay the fine. I just wonder which is all right.
