Letter to My Father

  Hi dad!! Only 3days left untill Saturday!! I am really excited for seeing you guys. Hope the time go real fast~ On the first week, I could not get use to this school which gave me a lot of stress. I was really sick because of it which made you guys to come here on the second week Sunday. I was very excited to see my family but I did not show or else I thought you might not want to leave. After having lots of Han-Woo, I felt much better. Untill these days, I go into the GLPS hompage often and read what you have written for me. Everytime I look at the computer moniter with your letter on it, it makes me feel like I am home. I guess after 3 days, that is what is going to happen. I was kind of surprised of the news that my cousins are also coming to snowboard with us. I heard from mom that you were kind of surprised at me because I was not to fond of you guys at the first day and on the second week Sunday. However, I wanted to tell you that that is not what I feel inside. Inside, I miss you, love you more than you do (or not :P). I want Janurary 21th was right infront of me so that I could see you guys :( Only few days are left, so I will try to wait. :D See you soon~ I love you :D

A Hen into the Wild

A hen into the Wild
Read my review of A Hen Out of a Yard, by Sung Yun Oh

Reviewed by Suyeon Kim
Genre: Animation (Fiction)
Director: Sung Yun Oh


What's the basic story line?
  Ip Sac is a hen who is living in a chicken raising place. She badly wants to go out to the wild and she made it. Ip sac went into the swamp where she met Na Gue Ne. Na Gue Ne is a mallard who has a baby duck which is not hatched yet, but he dies leaving his baby behind. Ip Sac take care of the baby duck, Cho Roc, and they are happy being with each other. As the time pass by, Cho Roc recognize the difference between he and his mom so they were mad at each other for a whil, but after the attack of the siberian weasel, they get together again. Finally, it is a day for Cho Roc to leave his mom and to the south with his other friends. He leaves his mom very sadly, and Ip Sac gets eatten by the siberian weasel not so long after Cho Roc was gone.

Are the characters believable?
  Ip Sac and siberian weasel are believable by the feeling of the love from the every moms. Both of them love their kids so much and do not want to lose them anyhow. However, Cho Roc is kind of hard to believe since it is not easy to recognize the difference between you and your mom espeacially if you are a baby duck. Except for him, every other characters were believable and basically almost everything made sense.

On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being best), how would you rate this movie?
  I would rate this movie a 9 because this movie had a little bit of an unbelievable character which was Cho Roc, and his character was kind of an obstacle to this movie. Besides that, the story, characters, settings, and the lessons were all so good so I give this movie a 9. About the lessons, there were the feeling or your mom toward their children, how much they cry inside not only outside, and dthe power of your thoughts were all taught by this movie. I would rather suggest this movie not only to kids since it is an animation fiction, I would suggest this to every moms and dads in the world because they might be able to agree to Ip Sac's mind.

The First Day of Going to the School

  The year of 2006 was the year which made my life to turn around a whole way. That year was when I had to let go of my mom's hand and start to be independent. The year that I became the new-born-bright-yellow-little-chick, the freshmen of the elementary school.
  That day, I went to my new school, holding mom's hand, and feeling kind of nervous. It was a cold winter, so I wore a warm beautiful sky-blue sweater that my mom bought for me. When I was on the line of my class line, 6th graders came and put the well-decorated paper crown on my head and my name tag over my neck. From that moment, I actually felt like a real student.
  My mom was waving her hands at me. My dad was smiling a huge smile, and with one hand, he was holding a bunch of gorgeous flowers. I was kind of surprised at the size of the school. It was extremely enormous compared to the kindergarden, and nothing looked bright or adorable. My kindergarden teacher was there, waiting for me to take a picture with me. After the photo taking, I ws about to cry as soon as my teacher let go of my hand. It was nice to be a elementary school student, but it scared me so much.
  However, holding a bunch of flowers in my hands and watching everyone congratulaing for me, I felt a bit less nervous and a bit proud of myself. After a few minutes, I thought to myself that from now on, I am the true student, so I have to be brave and proud of myself. Then my shoulders were held high in the sky and there was a big smile on my face filled with the confidence and the proudness. That was how my school life has started. 
  Even though it was a hard time for me to be independent, I learned a huge lesson. When you have to do something even though you do not want to, the person who enjoys the thing more is the true winner.    

An Ode to Music

When drumsticks hit
the drums,
the beat
makes me nut


I love the
way it rings
right there in my head
it makes me feel like
I'm the king
as if I were mad


How boring
would it be
when there is no banging
going around my ears


You don't know
how much I'm happy
to be with you,
my buddy


I love you
always and I will
unless you don't leave me
and stay still


You are the only one
who I think is the best one


and you will be
only for me


I love the way
you sound,
you always make
my heart to pound


I love your
melody,
and maybe I'm
a bit greedy,

but I want to
keep you by my side,
till the ocean run out of tide

Snowboarding

  This Tuesday was the first day of my snowboarding class. Since I was good at skiing, I decided that I want to learn how to snowboard this time, There were more students who want to ski than snowboard. Including me, there were only 3 students who wanted to snowboard, but other two were good at snowboarding so they rode it by themselves while I took the lesson. Wow... It was SO GOOD~!
  When I tired to stand up with my feet attached to the board, I felt so scared and weird. Since you have to move two feet at once when you are snowboarding, it felt so different as skiing. At first, I regretted why I had chosen to ride a snowboard which feels so weird and scary, but later on, I knew why so many people loves snowboarding o much.
  Because it is such a fun! Learning how to snowboard might be difficult at first, but as you get better, you will feel the wind brushing on your cheeks. Also, when you fall down while you were riding the snowboard at the fast speed, the snow spreads all over at your face. What a thrilling excitement! Next time I have the boarding class, I might learn how to make a turn. I might be highly skilled, after all. :D 
  Since not a lot of people know that the snowboarding is also a lot of fun as skiing, by writing this article, I want to tell everyone that you should try the snowboarding. You might be scared at first, but it is so much fun~! <3

Oh, and of course, that is not me. :P Hope I might be the once like him someday.:D
