The reason I do not spring that much.

"Spring has come! Birds are singing, flowers bloom, Sun shines and wonderful weather! How lovely it is!"

In Good and Old Germany, more specifically in worms, spring has come.
No more snow, no more strong and cold wind, but now we have sunshine.

It is now time to enjoy the beautiful time!

But, I say,
"I do not like spring that much like other people do."

'WHAT?'
This is the reaction from the others.

From the silliest reason to serious reason.
: I would say the silliest reason is the most important reason though.

Butterflies
Moths
Bugs
Very Personal Trauma

Na ja,

yes
Butterflies are coming, it means spring is here

and

I don't like it :(

Film: Alice in Wonderland

It's been for a while that I've been to Cinema to watch a film.
I do not remember exactly when it was, but I think maybe it was right before coming to Germany. So, It must be last summer in Korea.

I do not even remember which film I watched.

Anyway,
With my best travel planning mate, we went to Mannheim to watch a film (YEAH)

"Alice in Wonderland"

I roughly read some reviews before, but it was so difficult to figure out how it is.
I mean,
I checked Korean website, but most of people said "Not really good"
"overestimated" "Boring" "Alice???????" "WTH?"
like this.

Well, but anyway it did not work to me at all.

I like Walt Disney films, Alice in Wonderland is my favourite story, I love Tim Burton and also Johnny Depp.
What else do I need to watch it? I have enough reason to watch it! :D

It was 3D and perfect.
The last 3D movie I watched was Dark Night, but it was not that good.
I mean I liked the film of course (Heath Ledger!!!), but 3D? hmm, I did not need to be 3D at all, or the Cinema didn't prepare enough.

Okay,
BTW, I am not going to talk about the story something like that.
Nope! Why no? - weil ich zu faul bin! :D

Just want to say that, for me it was great film, and I would love to watch again!

Question,
About the film review, as I mentioned above, most of Korean people didn't like it.
However, most of people here in Germany, or around me(regardless of the nationality) in Germany now, they loved it.
Also people in the cinema (mostly they were from abroad - English speakers)
Is that film is to westernised humour so that Korean people never understand or like it? - Then, What am I? (of course I am an exceptional Korean girl, I know)

How do you plan your day?

I am not an well organised person to be honest.
Some people make their whole monthly plan or life plan in advance, but I do not do that.

My thought is ...
"There are always millions of unexpected circumstances that just happened to you. How will you cope with this? with Plan B, C, D, E or F?"

What if other plan B,C,Ds do not fit in?

That's why I always make plans just on time.
more flexible, more risky, but more successful!

Well, I tried making annual plan, monthly plan like this before.
Success rate? hahaha not really high.

However, it does not mean that I have no plan at all.
I do have.
Just roughly. like vague idea. Then I put more details later on. (almost on the day or time of that plan)

You never know what will happen to you even 2 seconds later.

Plan, it is important, of course.
But for me, I want to take more risks. hehe

Then, you will find really your own things from that.

With my best travel mate, we always make plan in 5 mins. Then we do it.
and always perfect!

Today is also one of those days.

Point is,
When we make plans, we never make sure more than 1. we just make another one after the first one is finished. of course in 5 mins again.

That's how enjoy life.

He's just not that into you


There was a film called "He's just not that into you".
I watched several times, and it's now one of my favourite film because it is just telling you/us the real thing.

We are all living under our very own delusion.
- Maybe he/she likes me?
- Why doesn't he/she do the first move?

Because "He/She's just not that into you!

Good thing about knowing this is,
I know this reality so maybe I can be more objective about the situation quickly.
But on the other hand, it is kind of sad if we don't live under this delusion, don't you think so?

I'm actually in dilemma now about this in real.
I mean
"He might not be that into me."

But this thing is more complicated to summarise as "into me or not".
Friends around me who know the whole story tell me

"He does not deserve you."
-maybe no, he doesn't.

OR I was just over thinking about all the things between me and him (nothing that special though :P).
- I think this one is the right one.

Let's be objective from now on.

*

Well, I am so distracted girl, so ...
a few days ago, I suddenly wanted to know what the boy, who I was seeing shortly some years ago, is doing recently.
So, I used my 'gossip girl' skills so found out.
He graduated university now, doing dances sometimes still, and going to take military service very soon.
poor boy. good luck for 2 years.


When I realised he was actually really into me, it was already too late.
BTW I was not the only one he was seeing at that time. hahahahaha
FAKE? or can be into several people at the same time?
- I prefer latter one. You can choose! like him!

So I tried, but I failed.
I can not like more than 1 person at once. who can?
Anyway I choose only one. BUT always choose the wrong one.
He's not that into me - That's my problem? heh?


Another roaming posting. hehe
but yes, I just wanted to write.

Question, oh I forgot. I thought 1 sentence and left it to write as question at the end. dang!


(+)
Plus,
just happened, what an episode,DON'T MISUNDERSTAND THIS BTW!
- Laughing so hard now. So, no further comedy at night, I had to delete and edit some parts!!!!!!!

European Parliament

Starting Summer Semester 2010.
Last semester we had an excursion to European Central Bank in Frankfurt.
Well, I did not go there.

This semester we had another one to European Parliament in Strasbourg in France.

As I am not a business/management I was not that interested in ECB but this time was different. I really wanted to visit! :)

It was 2nd time to Strasbourg and I thought it would be 'okay' weather.
WTH, It was snowing in Strasbourg!

"Joder"

Well, we had short free time to look around the city, so went to see a cathedral.



had Coffee right in front of the Cathedral and,
now head to Parliament ;)


from the bus

They said only some area in the building we can take a picture. So I don't have that many to upload.

It was nice to seeing around, especially I was really happy when the guide was telling us basic structure of EP, some episodes about the session and about the Interpreting in EP session.
23 Languages?! wow

Because it's the area that I love, so I didn't want to miss anything about it.
He said interpreters working for EP take tests in every 3 months.
They have to translate all the things correctly, and even period/comma will be checked. amazing.

We went to see the session after.
When we just came into the hall, I heard the word "South Korea" a few times while somebody was making a speech. I thought he was just giving an example of Korea.
But he was not the only one, and when I checked the monitor, the topic was about Korea.
Well, not a good thing, but title was "South Korea - Death Penalty declared legal"
Hmmm Yes a few weeks ago, Korean constitution court declared that.

Should I say what I think about this matter?
- I don't think so, but just briefly I agree with CC's judgement partially.

Anyway, it was very surprise and nice to hear from the members in EU government discussing about my country's matter. Well, It's "OUR" matter, but it is always good to hear from people who are totally in another continent. no?

Well, 12 Euros lunch was not good at all, but the others were perfect.
At least for me.

Also, it was a good time for me to think about myself (I mean what I want to do in future - well, obviously not for EP unless Korea will be a member of it hahaha)



It definitely worth a lot.

problem ?!

Okay,
I had some stuffs to write.
Now, I don't know what to start.

Will be back a few mins later. ;)

How fast can you say without your tongue twisted?

When I was little, I was often told "You speak fast!".
Although my hometown is actually well known as 'slow-speaking region': we have even a joke making fun of people from my region, I mean a speed of speaking.

Most of people who speak too fast, they usually don't say clearly, do they?
But, thanks to my Dad, although I speak fast, I could speak clearly.
- He was a new reporter, and always stressed that we have to use correct expression with correct pronunciation.

Can I connect this thing to the reason I like 'tongue twister game'?
- I don't think so, but why not? It's also all about "How fast and correctly you can say a sentence?" No?

Okay, then ...
YEAHP, I love tongue twister. :D

Actually, I was not a big fan of it, when I was little. I was just a little kid speaking faster than others.
Even in class, when we were doing some tongue-twister, I was not that into it.
- but, I could do it quite well.

I became a huge fan of tongue-twister, after I found out I was really into a linguistic/language area and also had a little bit more talent for it than the others.

The most attractive factor of it is that it's all about 'RHYME'.

Here are some examples in different languages that I can speak :D
- Korean, Japanese, English and German

1. 한국어 Korean

2. 日本語 Japanese

Mr. Socks Fox!

When a fox is

the tweetle beetls battle
with their paddles
in a puddle on a
noodle-eating poodle.
THIS is what they call...

...a tweetle beetle

Fox in socks,

If your daddy’s name is Jim
and if Jim swims and if Jim’s slim,
the perfect Christmas gift for him
is a set of Slim Jim Swim Fins.

But if your daddy’s name is Dwight
and he likes to look at birds at night,
the gift for Dwight that might be right
is a Bright Dwight Bird-Flight
Night-Sight Light.

But Never Give Your Daddy a Walrus
A walrus with whiskers
is not a good pet.
And a walrus which whispers
is worse even yet.
When a walrus lisps whispers
through tough rough wet whiskers,
your poor daddy’s ear
will get blispers and bliskers.

Any other fun examples, you've got? even in other languages?
Well, I think soon, I'm going to try these (and maybe more?), and record and upload it :P

LET'S GET OUR TONGUE TOTALLY TWISTED WITHOUT DRINKS!

01 March 2010

After the loss - Life is not easy?!

"Life is never easy"

After all disaster, luckily I could unlock my cards again.
"Thank you, mum ♥"

Good things and Bad things, now really are here at the same time, every single day with me!

+1. on Wed. went to Koeln again to see my lovely Canadian girl. She was about to fly back to home. (Now she's at home, miss you !! we couldn't do our last African dance!)
We had great real JAPANESE SUSHI which were not made by Chinese people (no offence).

A little bit of sightseeing, Dom and museum (pop art section was really great !)

-1. on Thursday, went to bank before meeting friends in the centre, tried to withdraw money with my finally unlocked card. HAHA What happened?
THE ATM MACHINE ATE MY CARD!
I had to go back home to get my passport to show the person in the bank.
When I back there, she already took my card from the machine and was waiting for me.
I shows her my passport. BUT *** BUT *** BUT ***
This stupid "SPECIAL" card doesn't have my name on the card. Well, to explain this I have to tell all the types of account/card system in Korea, but I'm not an expert.
I just say that this is the stupid card ever, and I will complain later to my bank soon. How could they make a card without the card holders name?
- If I never lost and found it, then I would never know this!

Of course this German bank could not give my card back. I said okay.
I mean she told me she had no authority to give it back to me, so she had to send it to the bank in Korea which had issued that card. Okay, please do so.

The other card also didn't work as well. at least this time, machine didn't eat it.

Okay what the hell is this?
I can use my credit card and pay with the other card, but I can't withdraw my money with it?

Later, I checked the bank's website again. It said, although the card was unlocked, to use for the ATM machine, I had to go to the bank in person to make it work.
Ok Ok Ok.

Luckily I have another account with another bank that I had not been used for long time, but the card and account are still alive. I can use it at least.

+2. Having great time with friends.
on Thur, after small problem, we had such a fun drinking session at my place.
hahaah we love Vodka? :D

on Fri, with my night travel mate, excursion to Frankfurt! I mean COCOON
It was one of the best party ever! entrance was not a German price, but Korean price haha. Music perfect ,a lot of people, eye entertained. SUCH a Great NIGHT.

on Sat, out Tab was open (just for a day)!!!!! a short fun drinking at one of girls' house (her friend was visiting her as well!) then head to Tab.
YEAP, we Erasmus are the best party people

-2.or +3? ' call me the miss Vaioable.'
My laptop suddenly couldn't find any wi-fi connection at all in the building today!
for 4-5 hours!!! Okay, it's not that long, but for me who is totally internet addicted person, it was the most horrible time.

Firstly, I thought maybe vodafone cancelled the internet because I forgot to pay for this month. But I could get wifi with my lovely iphone. BUT NOT WITH MY LAPTOP?
WTH?

I tried whatever I could do with all of my network knowledge.
well, I can't explain what I did finally, because it was quite... hmmm
ANYWAY I fixed it! HAHA

So, Now I can connect to vodafone wifi again in my room! :D
