Korean word, “Ul Jjang”

This is a coined word among the teenagers in Korea lately.
Nowadays, in korea abbreviating is popular to us.
“Ul Jjang”means, appearance is admirable. In here, “ul” is the abbreviate word of “ul gul”, the face in English. Then “Jjang” means awesome, perfect and wonderful.

Like a syndrome, it became more spread into our life style.
Even in entertainment company, according to that syndrome, once they enroll the star. They let the star plastic operation basically. Not like before they regard talent or ability of entertainment is the most important thing but now they accounted outward than the abilities or talents.

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.
