Air Conditioner

Our university started to run air conditioner. Nowadays it is really hot, but I hate air conditioner. It makes me feel headache. Moreover, our university air conditioner has some bad smell. Actually it doesn’t make us totally cool. just we can feel little bit cool. Fan is better cooling system than air conditioner. It doesn’t destroy our environment, and cheeper than air conditioner. When I drive a car, I didn’t turn on air conditioner. Natural breeze is better, but when I’m in city or traffic jam, smoke makes me turn on it even if I never want to it.

Contact Lens

Today, I bought a couple of contact lens. I always wear glasses, but summer is coming, I feel some kind of uncomfortable. It is little bit cheaper than my thought. I was very excited I got clear eye sight without glasses. However, it is not easy. First, I cannot put lens into my eyes. The shop master said that don’t afraid it. I was not afraid. Just I’m not familiar with lens. Ten minutes later, I feel some pain in my eye. I also didn’t put lens in yet. Finally, shop master help me. He put in very easily. I feel I’m stupid. Left eye is easier than right. I do it just once. It is different world. I can see without glasses. Shop master said some hours after, I feel pain in eye, because it is my first time. I don’t care about it because I was so excited. Six hours later, I notice my eyes’ difference. My eyesight is bluury! I have to put off lenses and wear glasses again. I was sad.

National Pension Service

Last week, I got a mail from National Pension Service. I didn’t know why they send a mail. I know why they do that when I open the mail. In winter vacation, I got a part time job two months. They took some part of my monthly salary.  The mail said I have to visit NPS center, and explain why I don’t give money to them. I was little bit silly. I’m just 24 years old, and I don’t think about my senior life yet. However, they got some my money and wanted more. I visited them last friday. I explain why I cannot give money to them. They easily understand, and said when I got some salary, I have to give some part of money. I don’t want to do it, but it is national policy, I said okey. I’m okey because I can get back when I become sixty-five years old. I can wait forty-one years.

Horror Season!

It’s summer! Some horror movies start to release. Actually I hate horror movies. I cannot watch it. I like other genre, like action, comedy, etc. I also hate summer, because I cannot bear heat, and it is season of horror. Especially when I lie in bed, and go up or down in an elevator alone, fear is getting bigger. When I turn off the light and lie in bed, I feel uncertainly someone watch me out of window, even though my house is ninteenth floor. My eyes close, and I feel person who out of window come in my room, and look down me slowly. Maybe someone is female. She look at me, and her hand close to my neck. When I open my eyes, she disappeared and I sweated. When I ride in elevator alone, it is more scary than when I sleep. I already mentioned, my house is ninteenth floor, and elevator is so slow, it takes more one minutes. I cannot feel other three seasons, but especially summer, I feel fear. In elevator, I feel someone behind me, but surely I ride alone. Most fear point is when elevator shut down and suddenly stop. I try to push emergency button, but security just said it’s okey. I already know nothing’s going to happen, but it makes me feel horror enough. I hate summer and horror movies.

Yoko Story.

We had some news with one book that is use in some America’s school material. It name is “Yoko Story” in Korea. We can see this book in news because it show history different from true. Last week I read this book. It is a story about one little girl who escape Korea with her family because Japan dafeated WW II. I cannot see any differences what news said. It just one sad story about war. I notice it published over ten years ago, but it published late year in Korea. However some Korean said stop using it at America schools. I am also Korean, but I don’t understand them why they got opposite position to using the book. Nowadays we cannot hear any news about this, but a month ago, it is one of hottest issue in internet. I think Korean has some impulsive side in their mind, and they reveal it too often. What do you think about this? Am I too extreme position about Korean’s attitude?

Gloomy

Last few days I was very depressed. Some fears  appeared, and I lost my passion. I cannot remember why I study in university, how earn money after school, something like that. Moreover, one of article in magazine I subscribed, wrote about man’s hypochondria. It said in korea, man’s life is terribly difficult. I totally agree with it, because nowadays  man’s position is getting lower. I cannot do anything. I feel something invisible object steal my power.

Volunteer for Parents’ Day

Last Tuesday is Parents’ day, and one week ago, one of my sister called to me. She ask me about volunteer for parents’ day event. Actually, she work in silver welfare center in Incheon. She needs a helper during week. However, I have some classes, and I can help her hust few hours. She didn’t care about that, I helped her Monday and Wednesday. We visit silver halls in Incheon, put carnations on their shirts, read poet about mother, sing a song for them, and bring gifts. It is very easy, but we have to visit 7 halls each day. Actual event time takes about 20minutes, but we use whole day to progress the event. Our event is simple and short, but grandmothers and grandfathers are so impressed. Some mothers wept when my sister read poet. They were very glad of our visit. It is very easy and good for me, and I am also very glad to meet and help them.

Strange Feeling

Few days ago, I watched Japanese movie. It name is ‘Just I love you’ in Japanese. Anyways Its names or story is not important. The hero in this movie, has skin trouble on his belly. Because of that, he use some medical cream for itchiness. Unfortunately, the cream smells awful, he doesn’t like meet people. He wants to change other medicine, but his pharmacist said it smells anything. The pharmacist looks so odd, I think his nose has some problems at first. However end of the movie, cream has any smell, just hero think it smells awful. It is strange situation, but I think it is possible. I know something is true, but everyone says it is not true. For example… my example makes me shy. Anyway, I think everyone has similar experience.

Dinner

Last night, my mother and father got some argument. Father went in his room, and mother lay in sofa in dining room. It makes me hard to talk mother about dinner. However, I’m very hungry, and I don’t want to eat ‘Ramen.’ Some minutes later, I went to talk mother, but she didn’t see me. I asked her when we eat dinner. She said when you want, and yourself. Because I was getting more hunger, I made meal myself. ‘Fried eggs and Frizzled kimchee’ was my menu in dinner. When I prepared for cooking meal, My mother still lay in sofa like she sticked the sofa, and watched TV. ‘Fried eggs’ was easy, but I failed to cook ‘frizzled kimchee’ several times. Last night was similar to past experiences, it has no taste. At that time, my mother got up from sofa, and stole my spoon. She cooked it. Dinner was good, but I couldn’t enjoy it because after the cooking, she lay into sofa again with stiff face.
