Tango…

Since the class when we were introduced to Tango…
I started loving this kind of dance so much…
And now, let’s try some tango…Wednesday of the final week…
Relax…everyone!

To my brother…

I call him “my brother” but actually, he is not…
He is just a close friend of mine, who I met in my High School and time flies so fast, leaving so many things in the past for the past…
When I first knew about him, he was a great student who work enthusiastically for the school’s student union…he used to be my “little idol” – an example for me to try my best…
Time flies…flies…and flies so fast…!!!
He graduated 2 years earlier than I did…
He didn’t know well about me and neither did I know well about him…
Time flies…flies…and flies over every feeling I have…
I grow up into a freshman and now a sophomore…and suddenly when I look back, I realise that it has been 5 years since the day I knew him…
Time flies…things change and so do all of us…
I got into some upheaval changes in my life…first love…first deep sorrow…
I used to cry over such sadness…digged a huge cave for myself and let the sorrow fill up my mind….
That’s incredibly tiring….
And…When God takes love away from me, He sends me a friend instead…
My brother came to me, talking with me and together we share a lot of things….
He becomes the one who I think about whenever I get into a mess…
My story may stir him up with a lot of sad memories…
But he is with me, listening and cool me down…
When my heart is so tired and I was even out of tears to cry…He told me “just cry and get a sound sleep…”
Amazingly, I could cry after talking to him and that is the way he help me to ease my sorrow…
For him, my beloved! I just wanna say that I am really thankful to you for listening to me and sometimes, I hate myself for disturbing you, my beloved!

Thank you for being with me, with the time we have!

Poem -Jung Ho Seung-

정호승 作
Jung Ho Seung

그대 울지 마라 외로우니까 사람이다
Don’t feel sorrow because you are human, you feel lonelyness
살아간다는 것은 외로움 견디는 일
Living is standing those lonelyness
공연히 오지 않는 전화를 기다리지 마라.
Don’t waste the time in vain for the uncoming phonecall.

눈이 내리면 눈길 걸어가고
When there is a snow, walk through the snow
비가 오면 빗속을 걸어라
When there is a rain, pass through that rain
갈대 숲 속에 가슴 검은 도요새도
A black snipe in the reeds
너를 보고 있다.
also watching on you.

그대 울지 마라 외로우니까 사람이다
You don’t cry because you are mankind, you are lonely
가끔씩 하느님도 눈물을 흘리신다
Sometimes even God drops his tears
공연히 오지 않는 전화를 기다리지 마라.
Don’t waste your time in vain for the uncoming phonecall.

산그림자도 외로움에 겨워
Shadow of mountain feels it beyond the lonelyness
한번씩은 마을로 향하며
Sometimes ahead to village.
새들이 나뭇가지에 앉아서 우는 것도
Birds crying on the bushes and
그대가 물가에 앉아 있는 것도
You sitting at the waterside

그대 울지 마라 외로우니까 사람이다
Don’t feel sorrow because you are human, you feel lonelyness
살아간다는 것은 외로움 견디는 일
Living is standing those lonelyness
공연히 오지 않는 전화를 기다리지 마라.
Don’t waste the time in vain for the uncoming phonecall.
그대 울지 마라.
You don’t cry.

그대 울지 마라 외로우니까 사람이다
Don’t feel sorrow because you are human, you feel lonelyness
살아간다는 것은 외로움 견디는 일
Living is standing those lonelyness
공연히 오지 않는 전화를 기다리지 마라.
Don’t waste the time in vain for the uncoming phonecall.

Chu-Suk Korea’s biggest Festival

 Chuseok (Korean: 추석), originally known as Hangawi (한가위) which means “great middle”, is a major harvest festival and a three-day holiday in Korea celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar. Like many other harvest festivals, it is held around the Autumn Equinox. As a celebration of the good harvest, Koreans visit their ancestral hometowns and share a feast of Korean traditional food.. We offer the first food from the ground to our ancestors.

When we go back to our ancestral hometown, all our families gather and make foods and share stories what we had. For the food, there are several different kinds of dishes. One of the major foods prepared and eaten during the Chuseok holiday is songpyeon (송편), a crescent-shaped rice cake which is steamed upon pine needles. Other dishes commonly prepared are japchae, bulgogi and fruits. And even we gether together and play Korean Traditional game but… Nowadays we don’t play it a lot.

For this Chu suk (which was held at 10/8) I brought two of my friends to my house. It was Adib(Morrocan) and Park(Thai). First we went to my house and brought foods which we made for Chu suk. Actually, my parants and sister already prepared everything. We arrived arround 9 p.m and enjoyed wine. After having nice time with my parants, we slept early for next day.

Early morning, about 10 a.m( it was toooo early for us!) we went to my hometown name “An-Sung” At there, we met my cousins. They really welcomed my foreign friends. It really made me high also because lots of Koreans are afraid at foreigners. After short meeting, we went to peach farm to gain some fruit. As you can see,

we had fun there and after harvest, we had a chance to eat it al so ))

we ate and ate and ate…. My cousin gave something to eat and eat. Acutally it was really Korean style to offer foods to others so we enjoyed whole dinner together.

After eating, we suffered a lot because we were too full…. Anyway, we hang around all nearby place of the house and had fun )) Then came back to sleep.

Next morning, I had to woke up early to help preparing the ceremony to ancestors.

Than we went to grave to see my ancestors. Its traditional thing to bow to ancestors. We pray for our health, luck and something privacy to our ancestors.

This bowing is the last work to do for Chu suk ceremony. After that we ate again…. and came back to our sweet dormitory 🙂

About Friendship

Friendship is a kind of human relations. It is a human instinct to make friends. When in trouble, we need friends to offer us help, support and encouragement. With success achieved, we also need friends to share our joys.

Friendship is also one of the greatest pleasures that we can enjoy. It implies loyalty, cordiality, sympathy, affection,and readiness to help. No man can make the most of his life without carefully and conscientiously striving to win the right kind of friends as he goes along.

Knowing how valuable friendship is, we should be very careful in making friends. Real friends are those who have good character, superior ability and kindness of heart. Real friends can share all our sorrows and double all our joys.While making friends, we should take care to select those who have such fine qualities. Then we should treat our friends with courtesy, be careful not to interfere unreasonably with them,and not to ridicule their proceedings. We should forgive their failures and do our best to help them. In short, when we have established friendship, we ought to cherish and treasure it by means of words and deeds. Only thus, can we develop real friendship and keep the sacred lamp of friendship burning all our life.

How to Be True to Yourself

My grandparents believed you were either honest or you weren’t. There was no in between.

They had a simple motto hanging on their living-room wall: “Life is like a field of newly fallen snow; where I choose to walk every step will show. “They didn’t have to talk about it–they demonstrated
the motto by the way they lived.

They understood instinctively that integrity means having a personal standard of morality and ethics that does not sell out to expediency and that is not relative to the situation at hand. Integrity is an inner standard for judging your behavior.Unfortunately, integrity is in short supply today–and getting scarcer. But it is the real bottom line in every area of society.And it is something we must demand of ourselves.

A good test for this value is to look at what I call the Integrity Trial, which consists of three key principles:

Stand firmly for your convictions in the face of personal pressure.

When you know you’re right, you can’t back down.

Always give others credit that is rightfully theirs. Don’t be afraid of those who might have a better idea or who might even be smarter than you are.

Be honest and open about who you really are. People who lack genuine core values rely on external factors–their looks or status—in order to feel good about themselves. Inevitably they will do everything they can to preserve this facade,but they will do very little to develop their inner value and personal growth.

So be yourself. Don’t engage in a personal cover-up of areas that are unpleasing in your life. When it’s tough, do it tough. In other words, face reality and be adult in your responses to life’s challenges.

Self-respect and a clear conscience are powerful components of integrity and are the basis for enriching your relationships with others.

Integrity means you do what you do because it’s right and not just fashionable or politically correct. A life of principle, of not succumbing to the seductive sirens of an easy morality,will always win the day. My grandparents taught me that.

The Importance of Confidence

Whatever one does, one should do it with confidence. If one has no confidence, there is little possibility that one can achieve anything when faced with hardships. This truth seems to be self-evident. In reality, however, we do see a lot of people who always complain that they lack the ability to do something or that their difficulties are too great to overcome. For some, this might be true. But for many others, this only shows that they have lost heart.

In my opinion, one should build up faith in oneself as long as he has a right attitude towards his own abilities. We should neither underestimate nor overestimate our abilities. As a proverb says, “Where there is a will, there is a way.” With confidence we can certainly cope with any task we are faced with.

Find Happiness

If your life feels like it is lacking the power that you want and the motivation that you need, sometimes all you have to do is shift your point of view.

By training your thoughts to concentrate on the bright side of things, you are more likely to have the incentive to follow through on your goals. You are less likely to be held back by negative ideas that might limit your performance.

Your life can be enhanced, and your happiness enriched, when you choose to change your perspective. Don’t leave your future to chance, or wait for things to get better mysteriously on their own. You must go in the direction of your hopes and aspirations. Begin to build your confidence, and work through problems rather than avoid them. Remember that power is not necessarily control over situations, but the ability to deal with whatever comes your way.

Always believe that good things are possible, and remember that mistakes can be lessons that lead to discoveries. Take your fear and transform it into trust; learn to rise above anxiety and doubt. Turn your “worry hours” into “productive hours”. Take the energy that you have wasted and direct it toward every worthwhile effort that you can be involved in. You will see beautiful things happen when you allow yourself to experience the joys of life. You will find happiness when you addopt positive thinking into your daily routine and make it an important part of your world.

Love is the key to happiness

As we all know, love is the crux of a happy life.

Love helps us stay calm and serene even when things are tough.

It can carry us through the hard times.

Love looks for ways to be of service.

Love is enjoying the surprises of life, and being totally delighted with what life gives you.

Love is the key to happiness, and it is a real blessing to others. 　

People who love make the world a kind and gentle place and other people feel safe around them.

They appreciate differences instead of making them a cause for prejudice or fighting.
