I am a kind of person who likes stay in a cafe to think<br />and organize my plans.<br /><br />2. Chatting with my frinds gives me a lot of enjoyment<br />and makes me relaxed.<br /><br />3. I love to decorate my room and make something to<br />present to my friends.<br /><br />4. Usually, I read fashion magazines with fresh juice<br />when i want to be relaxed.<br /><br />5. I think i can't survive without computer anymore!<br />Especially , I love to chat with my friends who are in Korea<br />after I came here.<br /><br />6. I feel bored and nervous when I don't have nothing to<br /> read or watch. So, I am always 0reading something or<br />watching movies.<br /><br />7. But, going to a theater is the best way to relax for me.<br />I love to focus on a big screen and enjoy interesting stories.<br /><br />8. Also, I like pictures. I like taking a picture and watching pictures.<br />I think pictures make me more happier time goes by.<br /><br />9. Actually, I hated cooking when I was with my family.<br />But, I need to cook here to survive -<br />and now i am enjoying cooking time a lot surprisingly!!!<br /><br />10. One of enjoyments that I found in Vancouver is sun-bath.<br />It's really not common<br /><br />in Korea to enjoy sun-bath in a park or beach. I am thinking<br />I need to enjoy this as much as I can as far as<br />I am staying here. :-DHYO JIN LIM * Heather *http://www.blogger.com/profile/17910739984076040848noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983107413876616850.post-15266194844809758452008-05-28T10:05:00.000-07:002008-05-28T10:47:06.819-07:00Million Dollar BabyMy housemate is a movie holic girl who is working as an editor,<br /><br />and she sometimes asks me to watch DVD together. 'Million Dollar Baby'<br /><br />was the movie chosen this time.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd3deNVJorIvYBLKldEXo_bV33YjZkflxXHhHNxfwYrrI_WqGyB15wtbOrZF443U6nZFr4gyv-4PAIw8gCsZA803l3RdgXeXdQP1k44gqoKlXuzfxCsmtNh6R6SChNtB7NWFdOdbfrulxy/s1600-h/million-dollar-baby-20041214092558810.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205485589608731042" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd3deNVJorIvYBLKldEXo_bV33YjZkflxXHhHNxfwYrrI_WqGyB15wtbOrZF443U6nZFr4gyv-4PAIw8gCsZA803l3RdgXeXdQP1k44gqoKlXuzfxCsmtNh6R6SChNtB7NWFdOdbfrulxy/s320/million-dollar-baby-20041214092558810.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />Maggie Fitzgerald, the main character of this movie,<br /><br />is a 31-year-old poor waitress who dreams of being<br /><br />a successful boxer. Unfortunatly, statistics are not on her side.<br /><br />Obviously, she is minority of society.<br /><br />She wasn't accepted by her family (specially her selfish mother)<br /><br />her coach in the first pace and society.<br /><br />The reason why she is struggling to survive in that society is<br /><br />that she is a poor woman who is 'not young anymore'.<br /><br /><br />She kept asking Frank Dunn who is a boxing trainer to teach<br /><br />how to start boxing. Frank had refused her because of the reason that he<br /><br />didn't want to train 'girls' for 6 months. However she didn't give up doing<br /><br />part time job and traing together. She bought a boxing bag by many coins<br /><br />eventhought she had to eat left-over food.<br /><br /><br />Finally, she moved Frank, and he decided to train her.<br /><br /><br />She<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />These two people have a common which means<br /><br />'We are refused, and we are minority'.<br /><br />Maggie doesn't have any family in the real meaning.<br /><br />She was refused to get a quality of life, family and coach.<br /><br />Frank was refused to contract his daughter, and his fighter<br /><br />left him to get more money.<br /><br /><br />These two people who met. Their friendship is stronger that any<br /><br />blood-bond relationship noy only their family relationship,<br /><br />but also in this world. <br /><br />They make people think that the real meaning of family.<br /><br /><br />(I am going to mention the ending of this movie, so if you don't want to see,<br /><br />you'd better skip this part.)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />This movie is not a hero movie. It doesn't give you any hope like<br /><br />'I can be a super star'.HYO JIN LIM * Heather *http://www.blogger.com/profile/17910739984076040848noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983107413876616850.post-57429663029520306962008-05-21T15:46:00.000-07:002008-05-22T22:10:33.308-07:00Be simple<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNyJkVmokSquJ0AKSnM-M8cVDoafVGPk4WmZt5riqR_I859fJhwmAlCua9LqJZoTU11aLnDmB4Pc_IrpWsE24vSKUo4tt9ZJ1PkjvPiBlEazIgUzpAR5S_lvQbCCZlZ4s4MzPzAA2rj10H/s1600-h/dscn7182-sigurizle.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203436306092986754" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNyJkVmokSquJ0AKSnM-M8cVDoafVGPk4WmZt5riqR_I859fJhwmAlCua9LqJZoTU11aLnDmB4Pc_IrpWsE24vSKUo4tt9ZJ1PkjvPiBlEazIgUzpAR5S_lvQbCCZlZ4s4MzPzAA2rj10H/s320/dscn7182-sigurizle.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />I am not confident to describe myself, because even I don't know<br />myself sometimes.<br /><br /><br />Also I can find the gap between my idea about myself and others'.<br />Yes, This is me. I am the type of person who needs time to think<br />everything deeply. (or you can say 'too much', also.)<br /><br /><br />I am a Korean girl who like to travel, and this is the longest trip<br />in my life. I am the type of person who has an itch foot, that's why<br />I am always planning to trip. Hopefully, My parents who are in Korea<br />are supporting me to experience as much as I can.<br /><br /><br />I like people who are doing what they really want.<br />I like the hipie-hipie atmosphere of commercial drive which is near<br />my house. I am a type of person who can be easily happy with warm<br />weather and good friends.HYO JIN LIM * Heather *http://www.blogger.com/profile/17910739984076040848noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983107413876616850.post-85536864794723021802008-05-13T22:54:00.000-07:002008-05-14T09:25:30.740-07:00Watch out, Korean guys.This is a quite famous story among Korean students who are studying<br /><br />in Vancouver. According to many Korean male students, there is an<br /><br />apartment which is unbelievably cheap in downtown. I asked them<br /><br />about quality of the apartment, but they said it is an average compare<br /><br />to the others, and there is nothing strange seemingly. When I heard this<br /><br />story, I thought this apartment must have had some problem, and<br /><br />that's why it's inexpensive - as supposed, there was a suicidal act a<br /><br />few years ago, and strange things kept happening after that.<br /><br />According this widespread rumor, one Korean boy and one Japanese<br /><br />girl who were international students had lived together for a while,<br /><br />but the girl found she was pregnant a few months later.<br /><br />She let him know this truth, but this unmanly boy didn't take any<br /><br />resoponsibility, and he went back to Korea without any notice.<br /><br />She might have been very desperated, so she commited a suicide<br /><br />in the end. After this tragedy, the lord of this apartment couldn't get<br /><br />a tenent anymore, because of many Korean guys who insisted that<br /><br />they saw the ghost in that apartment. They said they saw a ghost<br /><br />who was a Japanese girl, and she seemed like to be pregnant.<br /><br />The weird thing is this ghost appears in front of Korean guys only, and<br /><br />girls or Japanese guys didn't see anything like a ghost.<br /><br />It could have been the real ghost who was looking for an irresponsible<br /><br />father of her baby, or it might have been an illusion.<br /><br />Also it might be a ridiculous rumor to make fun of Korean guys.<br /><br />I was quite scared because of this spooky story. However my friends were<br /><br />like, "Why don't you try living there? Maybe you can practice English<br /><br />and Japanese with her."<br /><br /><br /><br />I would refuse politely!HYO JIN LIM * Heather *http://www.blogger.com/profile/17910739984076040848noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983107413876616850.post-85671867651711199222008-05-07T10:17:00.000-07:002008-05-14T00:15:49.668-07:00How to survive in Vancouver<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihojusaP5mJwKLpvop2CJXbacLt_qN6t0k9PvZPEvbG1rAV6djhezpCCHiuyAbliM3Nk8MsjixXOSK-W-m67reJppTKTKL7atEHfZ_ZyP-VuZdSXNuPRQ6hh_YM6MLcgDdSUPowYDMwGgv/s1600-h/DSCN0452.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5200128805875651010" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihojusaP5mJwKLpvop2CJXbacLt_qN6t0k9PvZPEvbG1rAV6djhezpCCHiuyAbliM3Nk8MsjixXOSK-W-m67reJppTKTKL7atEHfZ_ZyP-VuZdSXNuPRQ6hh_YM6MLcgDdSUPowYDMwGgv/s320/DSCN0452.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">hi, this is Hyo JIn(Heather) from Korea.<br /><br />as you know, i could come to this lovely school about a week ago,<br /><br />so i am still a little bit 'shy' now -<br /><br />but i found everybody in this class is very nice :)<br /><br />i have been in Canada for 4 months, i think you should enjoy<br /><br />every monent by doing something special like traveling, meeting many<br /><br />kinds of friends ... etc.<br /><br />you'd better enjoy this multi-cultural city as much as you can,<br /><br />but also you must be careful in some points! </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">In my case, I have got lost once in E.Vancouver, and it was quit</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">horrible experience.
