My hobby

What do you do when you are in some free time? What kind of hobby do you have? My hobby is to play soccer with my friends. I first played  soccer when I was 15years old. With my friends, I have played soccer 12hours a day for a month! And after that time my soccer ability improved a lot. When I was a high school student there were no soccer team in our school,so my friends and  I made a team named M.O.K, Myth of Kyenam, and we won the 2nd prize at the Bucheon City high school soccer tournament. We were very proud of our achievment. Still now my hobby is to play soccer. Every Sunday I go to my high school, and play games with my friends. While I’m playing soccer I feel happy very much. I want to continue this hobby as long as I can.


Go Korea!

This year Wold Cup is being held in Germany. It starts in 9th of June,and the final match is on 9th of July. It’s a long journey to the end. Korea has been qualified on this World Cup. Korea stepped into the World Cup 6 times in a row,and in the latest World Cup in Korea, Korea National Team had achieved their best, the 4th. On this World Cup, Korea is in the group G with France, Togo,and Switzerland. Our first match is with Togo on 13th of June. Korea is expected to win this game to quailify to the 2nd round more easily. I believe Korea will to a good job again like the latest World Cup. I hope Korea to win the game between Togo,Switzerland, and make a draw with France then qualify to the 2nd round. Korea National Team had left Korea yesterday to practice more before the World Cup. I know they have already practiced a lot, and  I believe they will do good  again in this World Cup. I will support them as a member of “Red Devil”. Koreas qulifying to the 2nd round is my best wish next month!   


I like watching movies.

What do you do when you are feeling boring? In my case, I go to a theater to see a movie. I like watching movies. There is no thing to do then watching movies. Watching movies don’t cost lots of money,but it’s a good way to spend time. When you meet a girl, watching movies can be a good dating course. When meeting my girlfriend, I always go to the theater, and watch movie. At 2003, I have seen about 48 movies a year! I’ve collected the tickets, and these tickets became a good memories of mine. If you are bored in your daily life, try to go to the theater with some friends. It can be a good change of life.


My sister

I have a sister. Her age is 28 this year. She is now working in “Samsung”. Through reminding my life I remember my sister as a very well studying person. When she was in the elementary school she always had the 1st in her school,and this didn’t changed until she graduated the middle school. And after going to the high school, she didn’t studied a little, so she had a little slump in her grade. But she graduated high school by 8th rank.After graduating,she entered Yonsei University on 1998. Then on year 2003 she entered Samsung, the Korea’s biggest company. I can’t tell you how much she gets from the cmpany, but she is working in a pretty good working conditions. I always wanted to be like my sister. Still now she is my model in life. I hope to become like her in some day.


How to play fun in Karaoke.

I like singing songs. My friends also like singing. So my friends and  I sometimes go to karaoke to play. Then ow could we play fun in Karaoke? I’ll tell you how to. First, don’t go karaoke without drinking. You cannot bring so-ju in to karaoke. So you must drink somewhere outside and then go to karaoke after drinking. Your friends and you are a bit drunk, so you can play more  magnanimously. If you are not, maybe you can’t play well because it’s a little ashamed. Second, sing songs like rock or dance musics. If you  sing a ballade it can destroy the atmosphere in the karaoke. Sing songs in high tempo. It can make people to feel more exciting. Actually, there is no way to play fun but, the most important thing is to go there with the person you like. Be more friendly with your friends and make good relationships with them. 


My favorite soccer player

I love playing soccer. Also I like watching a soccer game. I want to talk about my favorite soccer player. My favorite player is  Park Ji-sung. He is a member of a popular club team Manchester United. This year was the first year in the team,but he did a very good job  in his team. Almost all Koreans are proud of Ji-sung. When I went to see a soccer game on 26, May, 2006  with Bosnia Herzegovina everyone in the stadium made a big shout to Ji-sung. Now, he became the world star. I like him because in my oppinion he is the best among Korean players. His physical stamina is like an engine. He never gets tired during the game. I like the way he plays. I hope Ji-sung will do his best job on this World Cup in Germany.


At a zoo

I went to a zoo this weekend with my girl friend. People in the zoo were wearing diamonds. First, girl friend  and  I went to a cave of tigers. People were afraid of tigers because they knew tigers attack people. My girl friend and I were afraid of tigers too. At that moment we saw something strange inside the cave. We looked at it carefully,and we could recognize what it was. That was a lion. Lions and tigers were living in a same cave. We were very surprised. In the safari bus we saw a mosquito. Mosquito can cause malaria.Malaria is very dangerous. Because malalria spreads easily. So I killed that mosquito, and we had a nice time at the zoo


An unusual person

Yu-mi is a very unusual person I know. She likes listening to music. But it’s not similar to other people. She even listens to music even when she is sleeping! She feels uncomfortable if she is not listening to music. Actually, I do too. I think she is unusual. 


Guess who..?

 Can you guess who this is? This person is a member of our class. He is one of my best friend in our class. He has a pretty black colored face. Brown can be the right color. He always carries a black bag to class. He likes wearing a purple color shirts. And this can be the most important hint!! His face looks like a famouse Korean movie star Joo Jin-mo. He is very proud of this fact. But unfortunately he doesn’t have a girl friend. He is very quiet ,and doesn’t like to talk much. Can you know who this is? 

 


A stingy person I know

I’ll introduce a friend of mine who is very stingy. I won’t tell his name. He likes to drink so-ju, but he never pays money. At first all of our friends thought that maybe he had no money for a while, but it wasn’t it!! He never paid money for six months. Our friends made a decision not to call that friend whenever we drink so-ju. Now, he joined the military service so we can’t see his face.


Where am I ?

I’m sitting in front of a computer. Loud music is comming out

from a computer , and I’m drinking a cup of coffee.

There is a bed back of the chair, and there are some clothes beside the bed.

On the desk there are many music cds, of course pleny of books too.

Now  you might guess where am I .


How to cook Ra-Myun

People eat meals when they are hungry. But, they don’t always eat meals all the times. If they have no time to eat or if they don’t want to eat regularly they can eat ra-myun. Let me list the things to cook ra-myun. You need a pot, ra-myun and if you wan’t it you can prepare an egg. Now this is the way You cook ra-myun.First, put water inside the pot about 2cups of water and boil it. Second, if the water is boiled enough put in the soup of ra-myun in the pot. Third, put in ra-myun in the pot.Wait about 1-2 minutes.And if you prepareed the egg you can add it on this moment. Finally, you can eat your ra-myun. 


Drinking is not so bad!

Do you like drinking? How many times do you drink a week? In my case, I really like drinking with my friends and I drink 3-4 times a week. Some people say that drinking is bad for our health but there are some good aspects of drinking. I want to write it about it.

  First, in Korea drinking is necessary sometimes to be friends with people you do not know. While drinking with unknown person we can have a little conversation with him or she and have a chance to talk about their common interest and can become friends. Drinking is a good way to know about people. Second, it can protect heart disease. On a research, drinking a little bit a day reduces the attack of the disease. When alcohol gets into our body it destroys cholesterol and make the blood pass by more easily. Third, it’s good for mental health. If we drink alcohol it makes us to feel better and it can release our bad stress and that is why we say it’s good for our mental health. For last, in Russia for exaple, alcohol is very useful to win the cold weather. So many Russians  are drinking “Vodka” in daily life.

  But these good aspects are good only when we have enough alcohol. Too much drinking can be very bad for our health. So I want you to say that if you have a chance to drink, drink a little and do not be a drunk person in the street like our Korean people do. A little alcohol can be good for our health!!
