Like a small child…




The more my mind and thinking is growing up and deep, the more I feel that I want to go back to small child who can be happy with only small candy. I wanna go back to childhood. At that time I cried just about died small chick that I raised up. But… now? Hm… maybe not… as time goes by I felt my sentiment is becoming dull. I can’t shed tears if it beyonds not really serious thing. Even I couldn’t become aware about that before but yesterday I heard about something cute story from whom………..secret!!!!
I cannot stopped to smiling with my close friend’s story.
From 1 weeks ago he raised up 2 hamsters. He raised them with his utmost sincerity. But from 4days ago he found out that the male hamster became smaller and thinner than the other one. By that time he didn’t realize that it is becoming dying. Then yesterday the weak one dead when he came back home after his working, he thought it was already dead. So he didn’t touch that anymore. Yet he tried to lift it to bury it after few minute. Then he felt that hamster’s heart was beating still then. So he felt really sorry about his hamster what he hesitated to touch it. And then, suddenly it held his finger softly at the same time it’s heart beating was stopped. Then in his eyes, tears were dropping. If you guys was he, were you cry for small mouse? Maybe not…
Outwardly he looks so strong and sharp but inwardly he is really warm and has tender nature. I was touched by his diary. If I was he, even I didn’t try to touch it. Through him yesterday I reconsider about my dried susceptibility. I want to have a pure sensibility likewise the child. I don’t want to be adult who is an icy person. I hope that although my outward becoming old more and more, I will not lose my pure mind even just like this moment.

Is it good ....?

Last weekend, I went Manila with my friend. There, I passed by a begger who had no legs. He wanted to get some monet from passengers but since I had no money, I couldn’t give him some. I didn’t feel good and it weighed on my mind. But when I met an old disabled woman on the bridge, I gave her some money and I wa proud of myself. Om my opinion, we should give money to beggars.

Firstly, disabled beggars can’t seek their job easily. They are physically or psychologically handicapped and there are many common people waiting to get jobs. It is hard for them to earn money. Plus, if a handicapped person has no relatives of family to support him and he can’t make his money, what would happen to him? He probably has no choice but to beg for a living. They don’t want to beg but they should do it to survivie. Will, some of tou can say “ But they can fo to an institution for the handicapped.”sadly, there aren’t that many institutions to handle all disabled people.

Secondly, there are beggars who have no problem with their body. But, I think we should help them too. Many people may think they should earn their money. Of one has the ability to work bu has no more money, he can’t work. To get a job, it is food to wear neat clothes and also, it is essential to eat something since one need power to work. They need money to do all thing.

Thirdly, we can give back our wealth to our society by helping beggars. Basically, society is important for us to earn money. Society buys our labor or products and that gives us money. So it is nice to give one’s money to somebody who needs help. We can give some money to the charities or they can just give them to beggars.

These are some reasons why I think we should help beggers. We should give some money to beggers to restore our wealth, to help them since it is the only thing they can do. Giving them money is good but as far as I can see, It would be better to give them jobs.

Learnig from friends


Throughout my life, I learned many things from people around me such as family and friends. I discovered that there were many sililarities between these two parties. However, there are also differences. Even though lessons from both sides are valuable, I consider lessons from friends are more important that from family.

Whereas I do not have much to talk about with my familt even if I see them every day, with friends I can talk about everything such as my troubles, study, feelings, and money problems. Through the conversation,m my stress is relieved, and my mind becomes clearer. When I was a middle school student in korea, my best friend helped me a lot during school days, and I also helped her. She gave me some advices like “Studying is fighting with yourself” so that I could study harder.

Furthermore, my friends have taught me how to relate with people and make social relationships. These skills are necessary for the rest of your life. By interacting with friends I gradually learned how to be a good friend to others. I still use the skills I learned to create social relationships or make friends. As a result, I am not scared of people, and I am always confident and comfortable at meeting people.

I believe that friends teach us most important things because the lessons fom friends will last forever. They have given me confidence

What is a success in life?

I think creativity is the most important quality to making a person a success in life. There could be many kinds of answers to the question, ‘what is a success in life?’, but I think the success Is to become an important person in society by making a brilliant achievement in their field.
For example, Kun-hee Lee, the chairman of Samsung Electronics, first proposed to place ‘send’, ‘clear’, and ‘end’ buttons at the upper part of the mobile phone. At that time those buttons were placed below the number keypads. Many engineers first thought he was just joking, but he explained why those buttons must go up. He said that most people use thumbs when handling mobile phones and when ‘send’ and ‘end’ buttons are at the bottom, it is fairly inconvenient to press those buttons. Then the engineers developed mobile phones which have ‘send’, clear’, and ‘end’ buttons at the upper size of mobile phone and this became a new standard of manufacturing mobile phones from that time. Needless to say this contributed in sales increase and made his company become one of the top companies in mobile phone industry.
Importance of creativity doesn’t limit in industry. Incases of sports, especially soccer, players those who play with creativity success in the league. When Hiddink, the coach of Korea national soccer team in world cup 2002, first came to Korea, he said many Korean players lack creativity when on the ground. With the players whom he thought were creative, the team advanced to semi-finals in the World cup 2002 which made a new epoch in history of Korean sport.
Of course many efforts should be accompanied with creativity, but when we look at those who already succeeded; It is easy to find that creativeness was at the basis of their success. Success comes from changing the way to look at the world and this is what many people already know by many instances in the history.
Let’s change our antique thinking first !

If i had only a few months to live...

There is a saying "The time you wasted today is the tomorrow of someone who was dying yesterday and was praying for another day of life."
This means the importance of the management of time. Most poeple may think they wasted too much time as soon as they hear that they will not live longer. If my doctor told me that i had only a few months, to live, i would first make a schedule for the rest of my life.

Often, i make a plan when i take an exam because i can use my time more effectively. if i do not make any plans, most of cases i cannot manage my time well. i will be very gloomy and depressed when i gear doctor's saying, so i need to enjoy the rest of the time. in that case, the time management is the most vital thing for me. That will give me a peace of mind for the rest of my life.

Secondly, i will pull my thoughts together. I want to give my belongings to my friends to let them remember me forever. Also I will say good bye one by one to make a unique recollection of me. By writing letters to my best friends, I will clear misunderstandings. I believe I should be remembered s a dependable friend. Whatever the person was like, I will remember them as a valuable remembrance.

In conclusion, If my doctor told me like that, I will make a plan for the rest of my life and finish my last days. Although it will not be easy, I want to do it during my last days and I think that is the way to live a good life.

Letter from...

Two days ago , I received the mail from my father.
He told me to study hard and take care of myself or something like that.
He gave me a list of how to develop myself effectively.
I agreed with what he said. Though they are little things I haven’t done them many times.
From now on I will practice that.
First, I should make a goal for every week and month.
Second, I should travel as many times as possible.
Third, I should engage in meaningful conversation with various groups of people, talking about a variety of issues and topics pertinent to my course..
Forth, I should become close friends with magazines and newspapers..
Fifth, I should make it a point to establish relationships with people who are authorities in their fields.
Sixth, I should make a piggy bank then write down what I want to have and do and then save money for those projects.
Seventh, I should challenge myself to make special food for others.
Eighth, I should make friends with those who are younger than me.
Ninth, I should keep a diary and make it a point to write down at least one sentence per day.
Tenth, I should do something new that I haven’t tried yet.
Eleventh, I should never forget nor lose sight of my real purpose in life.
Twelfth, I should reduce my television watching.
Thirteenth, I should make a list of the things which I am hesitant to do then decide whether I have to do them or not.
Classmates! Let’s practice these things. These tips will be helpful in developing us so that we can reach our full potential!

Exhaustion kicks in

During the past 3 weeks my life pattern was spoiled by so many things.
Before I slept at least 11’o clock then woke up 5’o clock. Just like an early bird.
Then everyday I enjoyed jogging with my roommate.
However, after I returned from korea, I suffered from heavy schooling , homework , relationship with someone and my boyfriend in korea…etc,. I have been bothered with the feeling that something is wrong nevertheless I don’t know what it is exactly.
So I tried to have counseling with my guardian about my latest issues in life. We were able to identify some causes of my stress. The biggest one is the time I spend calling my boyfriend over the phone everyday. He lives in korea and the long distance thing is killing me. Naturally we don’t have enough time to talk with each other that is why I spend lots of time calling him. It usually takes about 1 to 2 hours. Oh ~ no!!!
Although I love my boyfriend so much I need self-control and I can have this by praying to God at this point in time. I have a responsibility to develop my life. For that reason I will control my desire to listen and talk with my boyfriend from today. If I behave like that I can sleep at 11’o clock like before. Then I will start to jog in the early morning. Then my life pattern will return to normal. I will always remind myself that my parents work hard and care about me. To repay their favors I must study hard in this place though the situation is so difficult for me until now. Let’s go forward Darin !!

Journal 4 (2nd week)

Yesterday was the day!
Finally We have moved out from Puting Kahoy in Silang Cavite to San Jose village III.
Before to us, our house was too big to live. And little bit far from our school.
So I had hard time to go and back to school by school service. Anyway, from now on I can go home easily and also I can eat lunch at home immediately and I can jogging around my house whenever I want and I can go Paseo anytime. Whenever I imagine about that I really, sincerely want to move out. But today through process of moving into a new house our stuffs and furniture, I feel awfully sorry for what I have imagine.
Garbage and everything was almost killing me. At the right time our 2 helpers stopped working from today. So altogether we did do that until night time. As usual we had normal classes so we attended all classes then between the rest time and lunch time we kept at work without letup. Though I felt little bit tired, together with other people, I could do that continually. Until 9p.m we worked then finally we finished that. Actually compare with old house, this house is smaller than before. But I felt cozy and comfortable. It satisfies me. On the one hand, to everyone whose worked hard, today was the really laborious and hard , on the other hand today gave to us overflowing joy.
