Pajama Party

  Yesterday, I called my best friends and had a pajama party! The party started at 6:00. First, we ate dinner, which was steak and soup. It was very delicious. My friends complimented that it was really really super good. I felt proud of my mother.

  Then, we played. After we were out of things to do, we searched the Internet for more games. After computer games and searching new games, we began to play some really peculiar hide-and-seek. See, you stay in a place. You cannot move. Then, the person who catches closes her eyes and catches us with her eyes closed. It was really fun.

  Then, we watched a movie. It was "Thunder God:Thor". I was so sleepy watching, but after watching, I was awake. It was about this god, Thor. You see, this realm and that realm fight together and Thor just started a war again. So, his weapon was thrown into the human world somewhere and he was not a god, just a human. Then, his friend gods came and he got his weapon back and went to the god world. His bad brother suicided, and Thor broke the bridge which led to the human world.

  Next, we slept.

  In the morning, we played the peculiar hide-and-seek. Then, we ate breakfast. It was ham and egg. It was quite good. Then, we played the board game "Clue". We ate lunch, and said goodbye to each other.

  The pajama party was awesome, I think. I hope I can play with my best friends again.

New family members!

  Yesterday, I brought in my new family members! My mom or any other family members had babies. Then, what are they?
  They are........
  Cute hamsters!
  (Well, these are not my hamsters, but I'm just talking about hamsters right now, so I'll show pictures of hamsters.)
   

  There are two little hamsters, only girls. Well, it's not because I hate boys. It's because boy hamsters fight, and I'm first at having hamsters. Girls, however, are neat and safe. So, I decided to have two little hamsters!
  Well, there are three categories. One is Pearl. Another one is Roboski. And the last one is Pudding. Well, my new family members are Pearl and Pudding. I named Pearl 'Pearl' and Pudding 'Pudding'. Their names are just perfect!
  Later, I will take some pictures of my hamsters and show you the pictures. And you know what? These hamsters are just little babies, and they are very hard to controll. However, Pearl is different. She is neat and not destructive. She doesn't poop on anyone's fingers. Well, Pudding is destructive and poops anywhere. Today, I let Pearl and Pudding outside for a moment. And Pudding is a little controlled, but Pearl is almost controlled! I love both of them anyway.
  I was surprised at the hamsters' poop colors. I thought their poop would be brown. However, hamsters eat green things, so their poops are green.
  Just like really young babies.
 
  See you!

New Year

  Today's the New Year in Korea! Well, everybody thinks that new year is on January 1st. Well, it's true. I'll explain.
  There is solar and lunar calender. Today, it's January 1st in lunar calendar! So, I went to my cousin's house and celebrated this new year.

  My family arrived yesterday. We made 'dong-gui-rang-taeng' and dumplings. (Sorry if my grammar is terrible. I honestly don't know how to spell them!) See this pictures:

  I played Nintendo games with my brother. It was fun.

  Well, I feel sorry for Do-kee teacher, who was my debate TA. He has to go to an university, and the interview is on this afternoon! I hope the schedule changed.

  Well, everybody, have a nice new year day!

Home!

  Hey! I am in my sweet, sweet house! GLPS camp now finished. So, I went back to my home. I want to show the picture of my house, but then I would mean I'm giving information to some bad people, so I will just talk about my house.

  My house is on the 14th floor, and it has an electrical lock. The password is_______________. I will never let you know the password.

   Go inside, and there's three rooms and a bathroom. The smallest or the middle size room is my bedroom, the large one is my parents' and the last one is just,,, somewhere my family put our odds and ends.

  I felt so strange when I came into my house. It felt like I was in a time machine and I was in the future. But it was of course, my imagination. This feeling was because I was adjusted to a small dormitory room, not a large, free apartment full of rooms. I now feel comfortable, so don't worry.

  I love my home, my parents, everything in my house. Well, not mosquitos or bugs. Just mom, dad, me, and things. I love these things.

  Hope you are comfortable in your house, with your family. See you soon!

To American kids

  I watched a short video. It is about American kids' opinions about K-pop. I'll show you the video.



 
  I'll write a letter to the American kids.

  Dear American Kids who don't understand K-pop,
 
  Greetings, dear American Kids who don't understand K-pop.  The weather is so cold here, in Korea. How's your country, U.S.A, like? I hope you are very healthy without cold.
  Let me introduce myself. I am a Korean kid named Ye-in, Jung. I saw the video, about your opinions about K-pop. I am trying to understand K-pop.

  K-pop, is a Korean pop song. I know you already know this. But, this is just a restatement to remind you. Lots of countries think K-pop is really good. So, I was very outraged when you guys said "This song is so horrible!" But, of course, I may understand you. You are very embedded in your fantastic peaceful world, U.S.A. You only knows your country's pop songs. your country's pop singers, everything about YOUR country.

  However, this is the first time you listen to K-pop, and you might be frightened or freaked out. However, think about Korea people who listened to you. They might think you're a bit rude, don't you think? I mean, Korean people love K-pop. Think in our perspectives. If I and my other Korean friends ignore your pop songs, you would be outraged, right? Think about our mind, too!

  Sorry, I was a bit rude. I was simply, angry at your rigid opinions about K-pop. However, now, after you read my letter, I hope you understand K-pop more. Please think about Koreans who love K-pop. They will be purely outraged, torn, and hurt by you.

  I hope I see you again soon. I hope you understand K-pop more after you read my letter. Please try to understand our culture and K-pop, okay? This is my request for you. See you later. Have a nice day.

                                                                                                                     Sincerely,        

                                                                                                                 Ye-in, Jung        

   P.S. I love American pop songs. Especially Taylor Swift's. Please know that I do not oppose to American pop songs. See you!

  I hope American kids really understand K-pop. I was a bit angry at that time. I hope they read this letter and changer their opinions. If they do change their opinion, I would really thank them.

Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring

  I saw a film named 'Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring'. It is divided into 5 parts: Spring, summer, autumn, winter, and spring. I only saw the first 'spring' part.

  An apprentice and an old monk lived in a temple which was on an island. The island was surrounded by water, and they had a boat to go to land. One day, the apprentice went to land himself and tied a rock to a fish, a frog, and a snake. The monk watched it all and when the apprentice was sleeping, he tied a big rock to the apprentice's back. To get it off, the apprentice freed the animals because the monk ordered him, but the animals were almost all dead.

  Surely, I did not kill any fish, frog, or snake in my whole life. I can't even touch them because I'm scared of them. Well, I had killed few ants. They are very small and I can easily kill them by stepping on them. Still, I'm scared of them. In Philippine, my two big toes were both bitten by red ants, and it hurt a little bit. And I was young at that time, so I cried a bit.So, if you pick up an ant and scare me, I'll scream, run away, trip, and probably break my ankle. However, if they're on the ground, that's a whole different situation. I believe I  had killed 20 ants in my whole life. I killed 5 ants when I was young. I was crazy at that time, looking at the ants avoid me as much as possible. 10 ants were sacrificed to release my stress. That was when I first started to go to English and Math academy. The 5 left ants were just killed for... fun.

  Now, I don't kill any ants. Don't consider me as a violent child. Also, after watching this film, my thought and belief about life's important increased. An old Korean saying comes to my mind:
  'An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth'.
  I believe this film's 'spring' part's theme is 'let's save life'. From now on, I'll never kill any animals or bugs. Well, except those disgusting small bugs that crawl into my house. But that's not the point. Life is so important. I don't understand why I killed ants before. In ant's perspectives, I would not like to be stepped on. Let's always remind ourselves that life is really important!

  Let me show you the film. The film is made by the Korean director, Kim Ki Duck.

Wacky web tales: The Beach

  Hello, everyone! Today, I'm going to write a wacky web tales! I use this site:

                                                         http://www.eduplace.com/tales/

  Now, look at my wacky web tale!

The Beach

  Hooray! Summer is finally here, and that means we can go to the beach! Today, my family is going to Gyeong-Myeong Beach, and I can bring a friend with me. I decide to invite my best friend Ann. I know Ann will want to go with us. She thinks going to the beach is beautiful!

  We start our beach day by watching the sunrise, and then eating breakfast at Uncle Chul-min's Pancake Hut. I always get banana flavored pancakes.

  After breakfast we swim the waves, go walking for seashells, and drown a sandcastle. Then we eat the lunch we packed for the beach. It's my favorite—nut sandwiches. The only time nut sandwiches are not so delicious is when you drop them in the sand.

  By 12, everyone's had enough of the beach. But Gyeong-Myeong Beach is fun at night, too! There is a really pretty boardwalk. It's always crowded with people. Would you believe we saw my teacher Mr. Garrioch there, eating a huge banana split?

  There are a lot of cool shops on the boardwalk. You can get a little hermit cat, but make sure your mom and dad say it's okay! My favorite store is the jewelry store. Ann and I each buy a rope bracelet that will bite when it gets wet. Pretty shiny!

  By 8:00, we're all ready to head home. I usually fall asleep on the ride home. I can't wait to go to Gyeong-Myeong Beach again.

  The word I emphasized(like shiny) is where I put the words.

  Thank you for looking at my wacky web tale!
