Last Tuesday, I went saw a baseball game in Sajik Stadium.

In Korea, especially in Busan, there are so many people who love Baseball.

My Japanese friend sent a mail to me with videos which show Osaka mood on baseball.

It looks very fun, there are long shaped air balloons.

Here, we use plastic bags.

At First, it uses to bring back gabages.

More than it, it is a tool for cheering like this above.

What is your nation style?

My sister highly recommanded a Japanese movie called Detroit Metal City(DMC).

Visiting in Tokyo last year, I saw its Advertisements on the wall everywhere.

At that time, I was curious about its storyline because there were a navie guy and a weired guy dressed and put on evil-likers.

I knew the navie guy who acted in Death Note and it's quiet different from that movie.

He was "L" on Death Note. His hairstyle was so funny that I couldn't laught at it.

That's what I've been looking forward to seeing it and finally I saw it last weekend.

Let you know its storyline briefly.

A naive guy wants to be a sweet pop singer and one of his desire is giving dream to everyone with his sweet love songs.

But he sings Death Metal now and his group name is "Detroit Metal City".

He wants to quit DMC because he thinks DMC destroys people and woman who he loves adhors DMC.

But he finally realizes with friends helps and advice, DMC is dream for his fans and family.

It's quiet a fun movie indeed. Its background music is my cup of tea.

As you can know it's about Death Metal Music.

Before seeing it, I didn't like metal as the same normal people.

In order that there're pretty good metal musics I could enjoy new genre.

Finally it was over last Saturday.

I'm not sure that it gives me luck or not but I did my best for 5 months.

I hope it will be good for my life for a long run.

Anyway, it's nice to see you again!

Its main setting is Behavior Analysis Unit in F.B.I. They solve special cases which nobody couldn't manage.

There are so many crimes in U.S.A, some cases are so terrible I can't understand criminals at all.

Someone kill human just habitually, can you accpt this?
Others feel happy when they kill someone without any guilty.

What I want to say is this kinds things happened in Korea.
A guy enjoys killing people. He's moved several times to contryside to kill someone. Even though, he killed his forth wife and mother-in-law.

According to the News, there are 7 victims. How horrible!

Every woman is horrified when this comes out so some women bought protectors to prevent sudden attack from abnomals.

The terrible scene comes true in reality?

First of all, Merry belated christmas!
How was this christmas day? Was it good and special as the same?
It's a holiday in Korea (Likely a hoilday in Budda's day) but I'm not a christian.
So I didn't go chuch and did service at all.

What I did yesterday is CLEANING my home the entire day!
What A meserable day! :(
But I feel so good after cleaning.

Anyway what's the new year's resolution?
Did you think of it? :D

So it difficult to say its relationship is friendship. But I have no words to say it so I say she's kind of my friend.)

I've never said about it but she've borrowed some money to people who we know each other.

One of them called me "What happen to you and her. Did she borrow money from you?"

At first I didn't say about it but he said to me it's a big difficult situation because she've borrowed money from his close friends include of me. So I should tell him what's going on.

I don't know what'll happen to me but I hope it won't be miserable.

I don't want to lose my friends and money.

What do you think of lending your money to friends?

Have you eaten "the small intestines of cattle(牛の小腸)"?

It's the first time for me to eat it.

I've hated disguesting foods but it's very delicious!

I heard of the fact that the organs taste too greasy.

But it's not oily! I thought that's the why it was burn by a briquette.

If you have a chance to eat it, don't hesitate it! :D

不意私はこの歌詞を知るたい。
Suddenly I wanted to know its lyric a few day ago.

この歌は愛の歌です。
It's a kind of love song.

This is a title song of "One-Pound Gospel" which was based on one of the popular comic books in Japan.

I've never seen it as a comic book but I saw its drama version.

After watching it, I want to learn　Japanese again.

As you know, I can't understand its story and leading actor's feeling well　without its caption

Other than that, I want to know this song so I've been studying Japanese with this song.

Here are new words
1. 電話　전화 telephone
2.手　손 hand
3. 心　마음 heart
4. だけど　하지만, 그러나 but, however

The situation like this:
그 상황은 대충 이러해요.

Two people as a friend meet new faces at the same time and the same place.

단짝 친구가 같은 시기, 같은 장소에서 새로운 사람들을 만났어요.

They've been great time with them so they became close friends and other than that, the friendship between the two became more deep and firm.
새로운 사람들과 쉽게 친해졌고, 또 두사람은 함께 하면서 더 친해졌죠.

However, one of the two hang around special one from the gethering as a new boyfriend, and then the situation became weird, as you can easily guess.
그러다가 한 친구가 같은 무리에서 이성친구를 사귀면서, 상황이 미묘해 집니다.

Of course, the other got acquainted with people easily but she faced some difficulties,
물론 남은 친구는 다른 사람과도 친해졌지만 여러가지 갈등을 하게 됩니다.

That's my situation. It should be a convinence for me because of knowing each other and it's a congratualation thing but I don't feel happy but weird.
바로 제 입장이 후자예요. 둘다 알기때문에 함께 하는 것은 편하고 또 축하해야할 일이지만, 왠지 미묘한 감정은, 즐겁지만은 않아요.

Because of sharing a best friend, as you know, it's the same that you can feel jealous when your best friend see another people. It's very childish.
바로 친한친구를 공유해야하는 것, 아시다시피 친했던 친구가 다른 친구가 생기면 질투가 나는 것과 같은 이치예요. 매우 유치한 감정이죠.

Other than that, I should look out their relationship because it'll happen something new unlikely before.
또, 이전과 다른 상황에 많이 생기면서 두 친구의 눈치를 봐야하기도 해요.

If they were good, that's not a big deal, however, if they not, there are troublesomes.
계속 둘 사이가 좋다면 크게 문제 없지만, 반대라면, 꽤나 피곤한 일이기도 하죠.

Because of this wierd situation, I am very depressed.
새로운 국면을 맞이하게 된 저는 요즘 꽤 우울해요.

What do you do in this situation?
이런 상황에서 여러분들은 어떻게 하나요?

At the time of that, I read my friend's entry on Lang-8, there is a test for knowing her hometown well.

Ever since then, I've decided I should study my hometown.

I find a great method. I got my blog and I made a category, named Busan View, with it I can remind myself of pictures from my hometown where I went.

Since last year, several celebrities including actors and actresses have commited suicide in Korean and the world as well.

In this morning, one of the well known actress in Korea died herself at her home. She hanged herself. She's 40 and has two kids who are seperated from their father since divorce. She has been a top star for twenty years even though she has much difficulties.

It was shocking in Korea. Because there was a rumor that she related to private liabilities of dead man who is actor and is her friend's husband. He died 15 days ago. Even though his death remains with doubt. She has rejected claims at a recent press conference. But it has spreaded on web quickly and badly. She has been under the stress.

After the famous person died, it affects the ordinary people by implusing to commit suicide themselves like a way of group and series. And as it happens again, the social anxiety increses.

It gives me feel blue and think about a power of rumor and a press power. I hope her family will not hurt more.

I thanks for them who have visited my home and corrected my journals.

I've been into writing on lang 8 for a while and talking with them.

During this period, I was fasnatend by other world and cultural things.

As you know, this era is global but there are some limitations.

Even if I know that kind of thing, I can't recognized something missed.

I think I hurt my friend but I don't know why.

The effort solving disconnection and misunderstand between us makes us more messy.

I gave it up but time goes by the problem will be solved, I hope.

It happened last year as well but happens again especially the powered milk for baby. Can you believe this? Powered milk for BABY!

Unbelievable!

It is shocked around the world imported it from china.

What happened in China? Why this kind of terrible accidents happens again?

And then, What is the melamine?

It is a stuff from plastics, chemical goods and so on.

As you know, it is a chemical! If people eat it, according the animal expreiment, it causes kindey calculcus and then finally becomes carcinoma.

As you know, the original hair color of Korean is black or dark brown with eyes.

My color is close dark brown since my middle twenties. Of course, when I was an university student, I had my hair dyed blond, dark red and any color I want like other youths to express themselves by changing hair colors. But I quit them when I graduated from university.

Anyway, a year ago, I was sick and tired of my all appearance so I had my hair dyed bright brown and cut short.

When my dyed hair was long and looked ugly, I went to the beauty salon to have it dyed as the same color.

Like this, I went there and did but the beauty artist said to me, "You should have your hair shaggy cut additionaly. That hairstyle you've now is not current trends(out of fashion ;( )."

As you know, when experts advise you something, you might accpted it without any notions you have in your own situation they don't know. That's why I had my hair shaggy cut. I have a curled hair so it's a bit difficult for me to manage it good.

However, I was easily cheated his recommendation. At that time I had my hair cut and looked fancy, it was very cool with my self satisfaction. However, I'm regretting that way now. I can't manage my hair! I think I should tied my hair till my hair is enough longer to change.

Actaully I didn't know her reputation on Youtube when she was a cindellera at that time. I heard of "Umbrella" from recomendation songs at the cyworld which is a website in Korea and similar to the face book in U.S.

I was hooked on her voice so I browsed her songs quickly. And I found her video clips from the Youtube. If you miss them, you can see them below. Now she released her first album, "Unfold". It contains her songs to be well known, "Umbrella" and "Say it Again".

If you know this kind of music, please recomand!
I am addicted sweet songs. :D

Today, I was staying at home all day so I arranged my pictures during my summer vacation.

As you know, I went Japan seeing my sister and spending 10 days on taking a vacation.

There were special monents there, especially I can't forget the sunset at deck of Enoshima lighthouse.

You can see its beautiful and great views from pictures above.

Do you like classical music?

I've been interested in it since Japanese drama, "Nodame Cantabile." As you can guess from the tilte, it's based on classical music.

And now I'm hooked on "Beethoven Virus" which is a new Korean drama and based on classical music as well.

I'm not a good at musical history and classical music, even I can't play a musical instrument.

But I'm into this completly and I like the story they told us with it.

It gives an encoragement to people who have missed and miss what they really want including me. The Older I got, I can't remember what I really want and do.

They talk about their dream which they give up because of practical reasons. In other words, excuses such as rack of time, money, place and so on.

And it's a story of people who live their life with finding their dream.

It's tough but important.

It is on Wednesday and Thursday and has forth episodes from start.

I'm looking forward to next one!

In Korea, there are some idioms for Autumn like these.

Yesterday my friend called me "Hey, drop by my home, I'll cook Okonomiyaki for you."

How a lovely friend is!
After finishing my work, I went to the her home near by my office.
It took just 10 minutes to go there.

She is one of my highschool friends, we've keeping in touch for around ten years.

Now she's looking for getting job, especailly in Marketing management and advertisement.

The period of the job employment comes this fall.
She asked me the help. As you know, many hands make light work.

So she cooked Okonomiyaki for my help.

Early this year, she came back from London for studying English.
And she learned it from Japanese friends as well.

Here are the pictures of the making process!

I was looking at it beside her for making it completely.

It was very delicious so I asked her let me know its recipe.

She said to me it was easy to make it and sent the recipe to me.

We've spent a good time on talking about her resumes and making okonomiyaki.

I am really happy because of good friends always with me.

I hope she'll find and get a good job wanted.

Gossip Girl Season Two starts on this month!

At the last season, Chuck betrayed Blair in the end.

I had been wondering if they make up or break up.

Anyway, the first episode of this season shows the summer vacation happening in Hampton where the rich spends their vacation.

Chuck changed his hair style, I like it. :D

He always made something bad and complicated but he's a good man in his born. Just he doesn't know how to love and express his feeling properly.

When Chuck knew the identity of Jame, I said to him, "You're Chuck Bass, don't lose against Jame! The blue blood is lower than You, Chuck. You are good at indulging in petty wiles."

If you guess, I like him, even though he can't say to Blair "I love you"
that she wanted to be heard of it. That's the reason why I like him.

Anyway, the new season starts, XOXO Gossip Girl. :D

Korean have some national events.

One of them is Chuseok(the harvest or Moon festival) on the 15th of August by the lunar calendar.

The name of it originated from its name. So it calles various names such as chuseok(秋夕), Jungjujul(仲秋節, the harvest festival), Hankawei(the Harvest Moon festival) and so on.

As you know, the moon fulls on the 15th of August.

When there is a full moon, the moon appears as a bright, complete circle.

The full moon has specail meaning to Korean people.

People belive that it gives "Good Luck" to us, so korean celebrate it and pray for their luck.

And this period is a harvest season so people share their results, enjoy their harvest and celebrate a year of abundance.

That's the day of choseok. :D

I attach some pictures of Choseok.

Last night, I got one. I was awake for a while.

I hate an anonymous call because people who give me a anonymous call never reveal their identity. And they never call me without midnight.

Just they make me a fool such as hanging it up after making a strange noisy and calling again in the middle of night.

Few months ago, I blocked it by using a mobile service. But my sister sometimes make an amonymous phonecall because it's an company charge. So I can't block it. Maybe I'll change my cellphone number soon.

Yesterday I read a book, River Boy.

I think you've been heard of its title because this book won the CARNEGIE MEDAL instead of Herry Poter in 1997.

This book is for teenagers but I think it's good for adults.

Its story is about one girl, Jessy, who has a grandfather faces dealth.

She like her grandfather very much and he also did.

His health became worse and worse but he didn't want to admit himself on the hospital, because he want to finish his drawing completely, he named it River Boy, .

However he has no power to grab a brush, he was frustrated on himself.

Jessy helped him so he finished the River Boy finally.

This book gives a notion of what life is.

Life is River runs Sea.

It's a tough race but it arrives sea after all.

Sea means goal each peoson.

I'll try to run toward my goal, finally I arrive there. :D

Have you ever been to Aquarium or Sea World?
During Summer vacation in Japan, I went there.
Sky Aquarium at the Mori Tower in Roppongi was amazing!
There were so many various kinds of sea creatures.
And they displayed Aquarium with unique glasses like the earth.
(You can see it above pictures.)
It was impressive! I thought it is the best to express the the earth.

And yesterday I went to the Kamogawa Sea World.
I've wanted to go there when I watched the film, "Water Boys."
I like not only actors in that film but also Kamogawa Sea World.
I was hooked by the dolphin and sea lion show.
It was so cute and lovely. I can't forget it forever, maybe.

I had no chance to learn how to do kite board, so I had to wait and see that race.

There were three main events, speed, hang time, freestyle.

The item of speed is in competition with speed and the hang time is who the last men remained.

And freestyle is shown performance which they express.

Badly after the speed event finished, the wind stopped, so the rest of events skipped.

For the family and the visitor, the host made an offer some events such as banana boating, jet skiing and wakeboarding.

I did banana boating and jet skiing, it was fantastic!

Even though it was fun and fabulous but there were some accidents.

One woman got wounds on both legs and some boarders hurt.

And I hurt on the top of my foot, but it was not serious fortunately.

When you are enjoying, you have to watch out accidents.
