best advice

What is the best advice you were ever given? Did you follow this advice? What happened? Alternatively, what is the best advice you have ever given?

    My father always care about me even he is living far from me in Korea. He dedicated to give me advice about anything difficult to me. I tend to take everything serious. I have many worries and I always worry about everything. When I plunged into deep thinking seriously, my father said "take it easy, don't think everything seriously. you have too many worries.". This is such a fitted advice only for me to overcome the difficulty that I  experienced at that time. I keep that in mind and followed his advice in real situation. Then, there is no need to worry about something. It was really load off my mind. And, I can do all the things with a light heart. I felt light- hearted and optimistic suddenly. My father helps me feel much relieved than before I heard that advice. It was the best advice I been ever given. Now I can do something difficult without any fears and worries.

American food

Prompt: What is American food? If your friend said, "Let's go eat American," what would you think he meant? Are hamburgers the only traditional American food? What do you think about American food? Do you enjoy any of it? Do you hate all of it? You could compare or contrast it with your own food or describe the causes and effects of the American style of eating.

If my friend asked me to eat out to have American food, I would think it meant as "Let's go to the In and Out!"and I might refused to go with my friend. As sean mentioned above, America has very short history. So, I think it is hard to answer the "what is the traditional American food". The United states of America is composed of people of various races and various cultures. In short, America is a 'melting pot'. Many Americans can enjoy the all kinds of food in the one country. When I think of the only American food,  I imagine 'fatty hamberger'. American prefer to eat something convenient because they are always busy. I like some of American food like chocolate fudge cookies. But I really hate all kinds of greasy food.

wanna be a optimist

I think it means that the person who has positive views on every ways can catch the chance in every opportunity, but the person who has negative views on every ways can not do that. I agree with it sincerely because I already have experience to miss my chance with negative views when I was a high school student. In fact, I do not know that I am a optimistic or pessimistic. But, I can tell everyone I have generally pessimistic views. For example, when I travel with my friend last week, we encountered a difficult situation with the ticketing of metrolink from LA to fullerton. We made a crucial mistake that we did not check the time on weekend. Finally, we decided to buy a new ticket, meanwhile, we have non-refundable ticket. It was our terrible fault. At that time, I viewed what happened in a negative light. And I was irritable and tempered to my friend. I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to my friend.

I had a car accident today 4:00 PM on my way to home from school in front of the TROY HIGH SCHOOL. Today was unlucky day…. I am so sad. I want to be consoled from other someone. I feel lonely. It makes me be pessimistic. I don’t want to. I really want to be a optimist. Please help. Help me god! Save me! Rescue me among the awful difficulties! PLEASE!!.....

My BFs in Korea and me

I always hang out with 3 best friends in Korea. Their name is Yeji, Sookyoung, Hyunju. Their types of act in usual and favorite food are very similar with me. When we eat out something, we often eat chicken because chicken is our favorite dish. And we have a lot of sense of humor. My friends are as tall as me. Average height of us is 160cm. we had once the same dream boyfriend in Korea. It means we have the same standard of beauty. We usually go to a movie when our casual time to see a romantic comedy. We have similar tastes in music, movie, celebrities, fashion. We always share common interests.

  If I find the differences between my friends and me, there is not much to say about that. Yeji is a believer in Buddhism and Sookyoung and me are Christian. Hyunju don’t have a religion. Yeji had a boyfriend, so she enjoys bowling with her boyfriend as a hobby. Sookyoung, Hyunju and me were totally single, so we had several blind dates. We met some hot guys there but, we chose the same guy. It proved that we have the same ideal type. We share everything because we are soulmate. People around me envy us because we always have such a good friendship. The sentence “Birds of a feather flock together” represents our relationship very well.

I really want to own a car!

I really really want to own a car! I have terrible problem with taking a bus every day.
I am living in Yorba Linda blvd nearby imperial highway.  My host house is extremly far from CSUF. I think it is crazy. Everyday morning always make me crazy. Bus is scheduled to come to the bus stop near my house every hour just once. Orange County's trasportation system is horrible. It is the worst trasportation system in the universe!! I have never seen this kind of system. It is very hard to get around here in the U.S. without a car because most of American own their car. I guess America is huge country so, it is necessary to have car for daily routine. In contrast to America, my counrty is pretty much smaller than america so it is possible to get around over the country by taking bus. And schedule of bus is very desirable to take a bus for citizens. Generally, bus is schedulled to come every 10 minutes.
hum... All I want to say is OCTA is the worst worst worst in the world!

My playlist

  I love listen to pop songs especially among many kinds of music. In other words, I always been with pop songs not korea songs since I was 13 years old. So, pop songs had a great influence on me to choose my major and interst in English. A couple of my friends even wondered about my taste to give such a popsong that is too difficult to understand. But, I persist in my odd taste because a lot of attractive pop songs appeal to me continuously. When I was a middle school student in Korea, I addicted to westlife which is a group of Ireland. Thier harmony of sounds was beutiful the most so that they had a great popularity even in my country for the song its named "my love" in its day. I usually enjoy listening to ballad by the way:).
My favorite song these days is "crush" by david archuleta who was one of the performers in American Idol.
I think it was a fate that I hear this song by a curious coincidence. I listen his song when I hang out with my friend in a bar. I was deeply touched by his voice and lyrics. He is the best in the world.. whoever marry with him is the luckiest girl in the universe.  I can not live for the day without his voice!

Weather

My favorite weather is pleasant weather enough to not wear any outer. Actually, the reason why I chose
CSUF is the weather in california is warm all the year around. I don't like fog and hazy. Moreover, I also hate hot and cold weather. I sometimes enjoy a cup of coffee feeling warm air and clear sky. When the weather in Korea is very nice, I used to go to a park around my house to see the fountain and people are shimmering in the sunlight. My freinds who travelled around England last year said that the weather in England was horrible becuase they have heavy rain and fog almost everyday while she was traveling.
Contrary to U.S and England, Korea boasts variety scenery in its four seasons. There are warm spring and hot summer in the first half year. Plus,  there are autumn that can feel romantic emotion with a deep melancholy and witer which is snow's season. I love my country's various seasons either. But I prefer warm weather most!
...It's chilly in the morning these days so, I always bring my warm outer. When will the chilly weather be end in california?

my fears..

When I was a middle school student in Korea, I had a chance to talk and share about my fears with a couple of friends. I'm very afraid of death and water. These things have turned out from my personal experiences.
  I witnessed a horrible scene that was my dog's death when I was 6 years old. 15 years passed since my dog dead but, I never forget this terrible memory. I love my doggie most in those days. As a result, I am extremely afraid of death. Unexpectedly, I had a chance to enter a coffin when I participated in volunteering camp. I indirectly experience the death and I feel like crying because it seemed like being alone completely.
After this horrible experience, I dread death more than ever. I feel even sorrow for death because it is inevitable. 
  I also hate swimming in valley or deep water. I always awed by deep blue color of huge and deep sea or river. I nearly fell in to the deep water in mountain valley when I was an elementary school student. After experiencing this fear, I can not swim well.
I think it is difficult to overcome without my effort to try these things endlessly. However, I still fearful of these fears while I write down this journal. I hate death and deep blue of deep water.
