Still going on

My first love is still going on. We met for the first time seven years ago. We were in the same class at the school and worked in a library together. We were close enough to share our secrets and worries and we celebrated each others birthdays. I was received more Pepero than the guy’s girlfriend back then. I had gotten transferred to another school in 9th grade, but we kept in touch. We have been friends, regardless of gender. So he does not think about me as a girlfriend. Before I knew it, I began to like him. But I don't want to feel awkward with him. Thus I stay as a friend for a long time.

Make a boyfriend

     Always this time of year you can expect to get a boyfriend. But it’s really not the case in reality. If the icy wind chilled me to the bone, I think that this method is very helpful. First, you look no further for a boyfriend. You frantically go on a blind date or meeting, but your chance to get a boyfriend is very low. Accordingly you should look at your surroundings. Second, you'd better to start being a friend. You spend a time with him as a friend, you will realize about him. Finally, if you knew about him, you should show different aspects for him. He will differently think you, if you unusually show different aspects. For example, you show a soft womanly figure to him. Apparently he will take an interested in you. I just think that if you use this method, you should make a boyfriend who you properly know.

Perfect Date

 I sometimes dreamed a perfect date that other people envy me.
 So I'll let you know my perfect date.
 In the morning, I wake up early then I have full make up and wear a couple look.
 The guy and I meet from the baseball stadium, and we watch a baseball game. 
 The guy catches a homerun-ball! 
 The homerun-ball give to me. 
 And the guy should propose to me from electronic scoreboard. 
 I feel impressed and touched. 
 After the game, we go restaurant where look down at the Han-river nightscape.
 In restaurant, the guy gives me couple ring and I put a ring on my finger. 
 After dinner, we walk riverside of the Han River and we talk about today baseball game. 
 Then the guy brings me home. 
 Someday, I hope to achieve such a date.

I don't like a carbonara but this carbonara was nutty so delicious.
Tomato sauce spaghetti was so spicy..
Pizza was good.

Civilization V

     Last month I played a Civilization V. Sid Meier's Civilization V (also known as Civilization 5) is a turn-based strategy computer game developed by Firaxis, released on Microsoft Windows in September 2010 and on Mac OS X on November 23, 2010. It is the latest game in the Civilization series.

     In Civilization V, the player leads a civilization from prehistoric times into the future on a procedurally-generated map, achieving one of a number of different victory conditions through research, diplomacy, expansion, economic development, government and military conquest. The game is based on an entirely new game engine with hexagonal tiles instead of the square tiles of earlier games in the series. Many elements from Civilization IV and its expansion packs have been removed or changed, such as religion and espionage. 

The combat system has been overhauled, removing stacking of military units and enabling cities to defend themselves by firing directly on nearby enemies. In addition, the maps contain computer-controlled city-states as non-player characters that are available for trade, diplomacy and conquest. A civilization's borders also expand one tile at a time, favoring more productive tiles, and roads now have a maintenance cost, making them much less common.

     I played a Queen Elizabeth I in England. England has a strong naval power, so I progressed on the basis of the sea. I had to win twice in rapid development. I focused on scientific research and became the first to assemble and launch a spaceship. But rapid development has given to me an early victory. So I was a little disappointed. Next time, I want to win by the spaceship. End of the game takes a long time, but it's so attractive.

Bossam

I ate a bossam in dinner. It's very delicious!

Bossam is a type of ssam in Korean cuisine in which steamed pork is wrapped in a leaf vegetable such as red lettuce or sesame leaf, often accompanied by a condiment known as ssamjang. 

It is usually topped with raw or cooked garlic, onion, pepper, or, most commonly, sweet kimchi. Bossam is also preferred to be eaten with saeujeot (pickled fermented shrimp).

Bipolar disorder

Bipolar disorder (or manic-depressive disorder) is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a category of mood disorders defined by the presence of one or more episodes of abnormally elevated energy levels, cognition, and mood with or without one or more depressive episodes. The elevated moods are clinically referred to as mania or, if milder, hypomania. Individuals who experience manic episodes also commonly experience depressive episodes, or symptoms, or mixed episodes in which features of both mania and depression are present at the same time. These episodes are usually separated by periods of "normal" mood; but, in some individuals, depression and mania may rapidly alternate, which is known as rapid cycling. Extreme manic episodes can sometimes lead to such psychotic symptoms as delusions and hallucinations. Bipolar disorder is a condition in which people experience abnormally elevated and, in many cases, abnormally depressed states for periods of time in a way that interferes with functioning.  Not everyone's symptoms are the same, and there is no simple physiological test to confirm the disorder. Diagnosing bipolar disorder is often difficult, even for mental health professionals. Genetic factors contribute substantially to the likelihood of developing bipolar disorder, and environmental factors are also implicated. Bipolar disorder is often treated with mood stabilizing medications and, sometimes, other psychiatric drugs. People with bipolar disorder exhibiting psychotic symptoms can sometimes be misdiagnosed as having schizophrenia, another serious mental illness. So the most important thing is early diagnosis and treatment.

I love WoW.

  I usually enjoy the playing game. Especially I love WoW. My brother introduced WoW to me when I finished the SAT. Since then I started the game. World of Warcraft, often referred to as WoW, is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) by Blizzard Entertainment, a subsidiary of Activision Blizzard. Blizzard Entertainment announced World of Warcraft on September 2, 2001. The first expansion set of the game, The Burning Crusade, was released on January 16, 2007. The second expansion set, Wrath of the Lich King, was released on November 13, 2008. The third expansion set, Cataclysm, will be released December 7, 2010. With more than 12 million subscribers as of October 2010, World of Warcraft is currently the world's most-subscribed MMORPG, and holds the Guinness World Record for the most popular MMORPG by subscribers.

 I started with Wrath of the Lich King and enjoyed it enough. Now I am waiting for Cataclysm. 

Cataclysm will be released next month, but it is difficult for me to wait. I have been playing a Blood Elf Warlock. When I started game, I wanted a beautiful character. So I selected a Blood Elf. And I chose a warlock as a career, because it looked cool. Now my level is 55, but it is not high enough. Because of now full level is 80. Therefore during the winter vacation, I will make full level.

 If you interested in game, I recommend you World of Warcraft. This game should give a joy to your life.

How to make a tukbokki

Tukbokki is one of Korea's popular snacks and it is loved by teenagers as well as adults. So I'll let you know the easy tukbokki cooking method. First, you should make sure the garaetuk that is soft and chewy like a ramen noodles. If the garaetuk is not soft, you don't feeling the real tukbokki's taste. Second, you cut the 1/2 onion and one carrot to lengths of 1 inch. Next, mix the ketchup and hot pepper paste in a pot. Then boil it with added 1 tsp sugar. Later, you should pour 2 tsp oil into a pan with 1 tsp garlic and onions, carrots and cabbage. Finally, when the vegetables are lightly boiled, you should put the garaetuk with the mixed sauce for 5~8minutes. If over time, garaetuk is disintegrate. So you should certainly pay attention to the time. If you would like a quick and easy between meals snack, you make a tukbokki.

Good student's features

Just because somebody is smart, that doesn't necessarily mean he will be a good student. Good students are known how to study well, so I'll let you know the good student’s features. For example, they listen carefully to teacher's speech. The teacher makes up questions for a test, so you need to listen carefully. Also, they never sleep in class. Many students study late and do sleep in class, but this is the most inefficient way. If you slept late, you can't stay awake in class and learn new things. I would rather go to bed a little earlier so I can be awake and ready to learn in class the next day. Also, they read the textbook and review class materials. The textbook is the first study, because test is based on the textbook issue. In addition to these features, good students do their best. So if you want to be a good student, you should make a constant effort that based on these features.

My dinosaur clock

It is difficult to get up early every morning, so I'm always receiving the dinosaur clock's help. The dinosaur clock is so noisy, the sound is dinosaur sound. The length and weight is similar to computer speaker, and color is ochre. Clock work is located in the dinosaur stomach. The shape is circle and color is violet. The overall shape is dinosaur, it wear a hat and tie up a ribbon. A hat's color is pink and blue, and a ribbon's color is red. The button that taking off sound is located on the top. Time control device and speaker is located at the back. The clock is so noisy, but it is very useful. If you want to wake up early, I recommend you buying a clock that makes a loud noise like my clock.

dizzy..

I felt dizzy when I wrote on blackboard with white chalk.
So I went to toilet..
I don't konw why I feel dizzy.....ㅠㅠ

Vietnam travelogue 2

     It was second Vietnam travelogue. I am writing continuing.

 Ben Thanh Market is a big marketplace in the downtown area of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The market is one of the earliest surviving structures in Saigon and today is considered one of symbols of Ho Chi Minh City, popular with tourists seeking local handicrafts, textiles, and souvenirs, as well as local cuisine. I bought a bag from there. The price was cheap and quality was good.

 The main post office in Ho Chi Minh City is a post office in the downtown city, near Saigon Notre-Dame Basilica, the city's main church. The building was constructed when Vietnam was part of French Indochina in the early 20th century. Today, the building is a tourist attraction. There were phone booths in each country. Come inside, I felt a feeling like came to Europe. The interior was wonderful!

 Saigon Notre-Dame Basilica is a cathedral located in the downtown of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Established by French colonists, the cathedral was constructed between 1863 and 1880. When we went there the wedding was held. The wedding was glamorous. The bride and groom were a rich family. I thought that the rich family was the same in any country.

 During stay in Vietnam, I always ate Phở for breakfast. Phở is a Vietnamese noodle soup, usually served with beef or chicken. The soup includes noodles made from rice and is often served with basil, lime, bean sprouts, and peppers that are added to the soup by the consumer. I always ate beef Phở and except a strange vegetable. The vegetable brought out a distinctive flavor.

This travel is second oversea travel. But someday, I'd like to travel around the world.

Vietnam travelogue 1

 This summer vacation was special to me. Because of I enjoyed my first trip overseas. The past journal's topic was Shanghai travelogue, this journal's topic is Vietnam Ho Chi Minh travelogue. I was trip to Vietnam with my family and uncle's family.

 We went to Củ Chi tunnels, Mekong River, Ben Thanh market, Main Post Office in Ho Chi Minh City, Exhibition of Vietnam War Crime, Reunification Palace and Saigon Notre-Dame Basilica.

 The Củ Chi tunnels were the location of several military campaigns during the Vietnam War, and were the Viet Cong's base of operations for the Tết Offensive in 1968. The tunnels were used by Viet Cong guerrillas as hiding spots during combat, as well as serving as communication and supply routes, hospitals, food and weapon caches and living quarters for numerous guerrilla fighters. I directly went into the tunnel. Insides, the tunnel was very narrow and stuffy. I can't to live in that space.

 The Mekong is one of the world’s major rivers. It is the world's 12th-longest river and the 7th-longest in Asia. From the Tibetan Plateau this river runs through China's Yunnan province, Burma, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. Among them, I went to the Mekong Delta in Vietnam. It was fun to cross by Canoe.

 We ate Ca Tai Tuong there. Ca Tai Tuong is elephant ear fish. It's size big and taste good.  And we ate coconut milk and bought coconut candy. Coconut milk is delicious, but it is watery. I will write continuously Vietnam travelogue.

Shanghai travelogue 3

 It was last Shanghai travelogue. I will write a memorable and delicious food that I ate. I write a Dimsum, Jiaozi, Egg tart, Tangyuan and Hot pot.

 Dimsum have a wide variety of dishes. I was usually eating gao. Gao is a standard in most teahouses. It is made of ingredients wrapped in a translucent rice flour or wheat starch skin, and is different from jiaozi found in other parts of China.

 Jiaozi typically consist of a ground meat and/or vegetable filling wrapped into a thinly rolled piece of dough, which is then sealed by pressing the edges together or by crimping. Gao and Jiaozi was very cheap and spread out on street. So I usually eat them.  

Egg tart or egg custard tart is a pastry commonly found in Hong Kong and other Asian countries. The tarts consist of an outer pastry crust that is filled with egg custard and baked. Lillian Egg tart was so popular. In the morning, I ate it as breakfast. But there was no store in Korea. So I miss it.   

Tangyuan is a Chinese food made from glutinous rice flour. Glutinous rice flour is mixed with a small amount of water to form balls and is then cooked and served in boiling water. It is traditionally eaten during Yuanxiao, or the Lantern Festival. I ate it in Yuyuan. It was a very sweet and chewy.

 Chuanr or Yangrouchuan is the most popular Xinjiang dish in China. It was chunks of mutton pierced on metal skewers, grilled on a coal-fired barbecue, and served with cumin and chili paste. It was too expensive for me, so I was treated to it by teacher.

 Hot pot, commonly Chinese fondue or steamboat, refers to several East Asian varieties of stew. While the hot pot is kept simmering, ingredients are placed into the pot. Typical hot pot dishes include thinly sliced meat, leafy vegetables, mushrooms, wontons, egg dumplings, and seafood. The cooked food is usually eaten with a dipping sauce. The soup base just wasn't to my taste. But the ingredients, remove from the soup base, were dipped in source, it was delicious. China's food was perfect to my taste. So sometimes I remember the food. 

 Traveling overseas has really helped to broaden my horizons. This tour overseas has been the most impressive experience that I have ever experienced. I was traveled here and there, I enjoyed every minute of my stay in Shanghai. I will never forget the time.

Shanghai travelogue 2

     It was second Shanghai travelogue. And I am writing continuing. Cifu is similar to Korea’s Dongdaemun shopping mall.

 Yuyuan is considered one of the most lavish and finest Chinese gardens in the region. In front of Yuyuan, there were many shops. I was enjoyed shopping there.

 Century Park is the largest park in Shanghai. When I went to there, I rode a tandem bicycle with my group friend.

 IKEA is a privately held, international home products Swedish corporation that designs and sells ready-to-assemble furniture, appliances and home accessories. There was a restaurant on the 2nd floor. The food look delicious, but I did not have enough money to eat. It was inconvenienced by not having in Korea. My father likes to do the shopping. So I hope that it is built in Korea.

Byeongeom is performing a fast-changing face. This is a part of Sichuan opera (Chuanju). It was truly amazing and I could not believe my eyes. If you see in front of the performance, you can't believe it.

Taikang Lu is an arts and crafts street. Taikang Lu is today a major tourist attraction and has more than 200 diverse small businesses such as cafes, restaurants, art galleries, craft stores, design houses and studios. There were all kinds of cute stuff, so I bought several gifts.

 Zhouzhuang is a popular tourist destination. It is one of the most famous water townships in China, noted for its profound cultural background, the well preserved ancient residential houses, the elegant watery views and the strong local colored traditions and customs. It has been called the “Venice of the East”. The landscapes are wonderful, so I took a lot of picture. Especially I think that the night view was more beautiful. I ate many foods in the travel. In the last travelogue, I will write a memorable and delicious food that I ate.

Shanghai travelogue 1

  I went to China while summer vacation. I have wanted to travel abroad since a long time ago. It was my first overseas trip and everything made me wonder. This being my first trip overseas, I'm all in a flurry, what with packing and everything. My heart throbbed with excitement at the thought of traveling abroad. I went to Shanghai. Shanghai is the second largest city in China. I stayed Shanghai for a month. In fact, I went Shanghai to study Chinese. So I lived in Donghua University dormitory and studied in International Cultural Exchange School. In the morning, I studied Chinese in class. In the afternoon, I went sightseeing here and there in Shanghai with my group. For a month, I went to many places. I went to Shanghai museum and Nanjinglu, Pudong, Oriental Pearl Tower, The Bund, Cifu, Yuyuan, Century park, IKEA, Byeongeom, EXPO, The People´s Plaza, Taikanglu, Shanghai circus, Zhouzhuang Town and so on.

Shanghai museum is very big. The museum has a collection of over 120,000 pieces, including bronze, ceramics, calligraphy, furniture, jades, ancient coins, paintings, seals, sculptures, minority art and foreign art. So I was not enough to see everything.

Nanjing road is similar to Korea’s Myeong-dong. There is one of the world's busiest shopping streets. So there were many interesting spectacle.

Pudong is a district of Shanghai. Pudong is home to the Lujiazui Finance and Trade Zone, the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and a skyline that includes the symbolic Oriental Pearl Tower, the Jin Mao Building.

 

The Oriental Pearl Tower belongs to the World Federation of Great Towers. The Tower attracts over three million visitors each year. So I was waiting in line to get in an elevator. I became tired. But the view from there was magnificent. The bund and Pudong are on opposite sides of Huangpu River.

The Bund is one of the most famous tourist destinations in Shanghai. The Bund houses 52 buildings of various architectural styles. I went many places besides above-mentioned place. So I will write continuously next journal.

My semicircular pillow

 I describe my semicircular pillow. When I hug a pillow in my bosom, I felt comfortable. Semicircular pillow was a gift from my parents to 22 years ago. So it was older than me. In semicircular has pink and white cross stripes. It has mane around semicircular. Its color is wine. When I hug a pillow, I feel a sense of closeness. It felt like I was going to be sucked into somewhere. It was a comfort. So I love time when I used up a semicircular pillow.

Chuseok!

 Chuseok is the Korean Thanksgiving day. Date is August 15th in the lunar calendar. Chuseok falls on Sep 22th this year. Koreans usually wear hanbok (traditional Korean clothes) on Chuseok or Seollal (Korean New Year's Day). I always wear hanbok. Chuseok is giving thanks for the harvest. And Chuseok is a time for families to get together. I went to my hometown for this Chuseok. I meet all my relatives, eat lots of food. This is one of the reasons why I like Chuseok.

 We are having something special things on Chuseok. First, we make a wish on the full moon. Thus we believe that our wish is come true. Second, we make special rice cake called Songpyun. Songpyun is the special food that Koreans eat on Chuseok. It is half-moon shaped and stuffed with sesame seeds and sugar, sweet beans or chestnut filling.  Third, we visit our ancestors' grave. We pay respect to their ancestors by visiting their graves and offering them rice and fruit. This Chuseok our family visit my maternal grandfather’s grave. He died last year. His grave is far from our house. So we could not often visit. Forth, Chuseok have a terrible traffic jam. Every year highways were jammed with cars returning to Seoul. But this Chuseok have holidays interspersed with workdays. If we rearrange schedule, we can rest 9 day. So this Chuseok was not having traffic jam as compared with other holiday.

 Chuseok is special day for Koreans. I hope that you enjoy Korea’s traditional Chuseok.

I feel sad...

I'm so tired.............................

Remains in Egypt

 My dream is to be an Archaeologist.

 I'm interested in digging up of ancient civilization, so I love Egypt. Egypt has a rich history dating back thousands of years.  

 The pyramids and the sphinx testify to Egypt's legacy as a majestic and wondrous civilization. Pyramid is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It is actually tomb of pharaoh who is king of Egypt's Old Kingdom.  According to Pyramid's legend, it has the curse of the mummy. The curse began when many terrible events occurred after the discovery of King Tutankhamen's tomb. Legend has it that anyone who dared to open the tomb would suffer the wrath of the mummy. Whether the mummy’s curse is fact or fiction. But I believe that pyramid has the curse of the mummy.

 Sphinx is pyramid's guardian. The body of a lion with the head of a king or god, the sphinx has come to symbolize strength and wisdom.

 Greek and Roman mythology was included the sphinx riddle.

 Sphinx asked the question of people who passed it.  The question is very wisdom, which is 'who walks with four legs in the morning, with two legs in the afternoon, and with three legs in the evening'.  The answer of this question is a man. Because a man crawled when young, walked after, and walked with three legs because of a stick.

 Thus, Egypt has been charming remains.  If I become grown up, I'll go to Egypt. So I would like to research of ancient civilization.
