Two weeks ago, I watched the movie “My Blueberry Nights” directed by Wong Kar Wai, starring Norah Jones and Jude Law. I like watching such thing as gangster film rather than the film dealing with the theme of love.

However, I like the films dealing with the subject of love made by Wong Kar Wai. He doesn’t express people’s love in the simple way. He knows well about how hard it is to express emotions people feel. The characters in his movies are likely to express their emotion in indirect way to use objects or worthless talking among them. And most of them crash and burn. Even though they gain affections in the end, the process of meeting again is rough and difficult.

Wong Kar Wai made his debut in Hollywood with this film “My Blueberry Nights.” So far, he made many films in Hong Kong. I had looked forward to watching this movie since I heard of the fact that this movie began to be made. Because Jude Law is one of my favorite movie actors and Norah Jones is one of my favorite singers. In terms of her debut in the movies, Norah Jones’s acting is good. Of course, Jude Law’s acting is without doubt the best of all. Also, I have considered Wong Kar Wai, the director of this film, as one of the best directors. Therefore, this movie is very special to me.

Everybody has experienced using bank remittance at least onetime.

You need to pay for the charge when you use the bank remittance.

Most of bank ask the charge for the remittance even-though you send a small amount of money.

So the customer who send small money, they would complaine. about the chearge
It makes the result that bank will discount the charge of bank remittance.

It could be a good news for the customer, isn’t it?

Yesterday, I watched a movie that is Korean movie. The movie was very cruel. I heard the movie was based on a real event about which a man killed 12 women. Before I watched the movie, I did not seriously think of the movie. However, after I watched the movie, I wanted to think the movie, the event and the killer.  I was thinking why he did or he was Psychotic like that. The movie could make me understand the event in detail so I could think more deeply. Actully, I saw the news about him, I just thought a kind of a case of murder so I did not think deeply or seriously but from yesterday to today, I have been thinking more and more. Therefore, sometimes, the media can make people think one more time.

Since a day  I have really got stressed because of junk e-mails  sent to my mobile phone.

I get two junk masseges  a day on the average. All most of the masseges are pornographic messages.  It very refulses me. And  I wonder how people who send it to me know my phone number. I’ve never joined Kinds of obscene sites. My personal information must be leaked  I think.  Actually my phone has a function to stop spams. so I saved 10 different callers numbers to send spam mails  (there are only rooms for ten phone numbers in my phone) . but still  I get junk masseges…

Is there any way to stop it completely?

 How many commercials do we see for a day? We are always exposed to many things that produced for advertisement. Even we are exposed to commercials at school with big-character posters that persuade students to join clubs. I guess that we might see and hear around 30 commercials for a day. As you know, most of ads usually take a minute or few more seconds to be broadcasted. Anyway, do commercials have effect on viewers?

Since there are too many advertisements that we see or hear, I don’t think that the results of advertisements would be effective as the company expected. We are so busy to realize everything around us. On the other hand, some people suggest that you acquire something from commercials even if you don’t seem to recognize them. They say that’s why companies keep producing commercials to take advantage from commercials. In my opinion, the argument that we learn something without recognition makes sense. However, I just remember few of them which were creative and I’m not really affected by commercials what I’ve seen on purchasing. In this sense, producing too many commercials could be waste of goods and times.

 Which one do you agree?

I want you to watch this clip. It’s not a big deal. It will be taking only few minutes. However, you are going to get such a strong and powerful message from this.

When I was in Vancouver, alone, one of my housemate ( who was living in the same home-stay house) strongly recommended me to listen Steve Jobs’ speech. At that moment I just started working for a company as an intern and I was going through quite hard time because of new circumstance. On next day I arrived at my office earlier than usual and tried to find his speech. It was amazing. It’s because not only I understood English spoken speech but also I was encouraged a lot.

Merely a video clip, even recored 2 years ago, made me think of my close future bright and positive.  What do you think of this speech? I hope you will get good effect from his cite too. Good luck!

(If you want to have a look his discourse, I have a script so tell me. I have looked this over and over again though.)

Today I played starcraft with friends – One was playing near by me, and other was playing in USA. As you know, it is really interesting that we can have fun with people outside Korea. Sometimes there is lag that makes the game so slow, but often there are no problems when playing.

 Popular game or utility can have including a lot of illegal program like fake cd-key, map-hack, free-download programs. These are really useful to use between users and easy to find the programs that are good at upgrading. It is negative  for the companies which produce the game and programs because it seems almost hard to defeat those situations.

I want to talk about these illegal programs. Can it be no problem if it doesn’t have a bad effect to the company or still does the company need to care and protect from individual programs to use during game or programs aswell?

I’m rewriting about the incidence which occurred in a week ago.  A week ago, the main issue of Cyworld was about sexual criminal in subway. Here is the news about it http://joongangdaily.joins.com/article/view.asp?aid=2887778
(you don’t have to read all, just read last news about phone camera)We can take a photo anywhere regardless of law only except for national secret stuff like army things.  But is it right to take a photo without her allowance? Because there is no exact and directly related law, court said he is innocence.  It can be confused between rights of seeing and taking photos.  But I don’t agree with the court’s decision because there should be a morality.  If court couldn’t punish him, I think his face have to be known to public instead of punishment.  What is your opinion about it?I’d like t discuss more about this problem.

Have you ever been abroad? Or, do you have any plan in this summer vacation?

Actually I have only some months, since I have to be an officer in army. I have to leave the normal life from next March. That is, 1 month on this summer and whole winter vacation is the only time I have right before the duty.

I’ve been United States and Canada. There are my cousins in New Jersey which is much closer from the New York City. And I took the package trip there passing through Maryland, Washington D.C., Naiagara falls, Ottawa, Ontario……. It was fantastic and favulous memory that I have. I think, in that time, no motivation was works on me. I just hung out with my sisters and cousins planlessly. I totally regret that.

If I have any chance to travel, I would never lose it again. I can feel every second!!

Why don’t you click that address abovc and listen? It is not goin to take long time. This is a speech spoken by Barack Obama in 2004.  

I want you to think about 3 American valuse in his speech. I have done this in ‘Inter-cultural communication class’ and it’s quite interesting. I want to share with you.

What I can figure out is ‘Equality’, ‘Self-help’, and ‘Individualism’. What do you see and think? I am looking forward to seeing your thoughts through comments.
