travel

I'm in boston now.
I came here to see my brother.
I really like Boston. I've been here couple of times and every time, I feel very comfortable. I meet my brother's friends, eat fresh seafoods and enjoy campus life. The weather is so great today too. :)
I usually stay in MIT dormitory and this school provide amazing facilities to student. Although student pay a lot, the environment is very good to focus on study.
Boston is much small compared to new york, but it has its own characteristic. They have own shopping district and small K-town as well! My brother and I went to small karaoke and that was very fun too. Boston and Cambridge is also very old town. I also visited Harvard to see how the most famous university in the world looks like, but it was that different from other schools :p. During day time, we also went to small parks and did some shopping as well. I wasn't able to find anything that I wanted to buy, but my brother spend over $150 for his new clothing... lol
It was nice to see my brother again, since he was having hard time at school with his school works and stuff, but he seemed to be ok now. Even though we live relatively close, it was hard to meet each other since both of us are really busy. Thus it was nice to have brother-sister bonding time again :)

Most amazing thing about traveling is that, you get to enjoy the new environment and can relieve yourself from all the works and stress. I have to go back to new york soon and will be a lot of work again, however, I would be able to have fresh start after returning from boston :)

my hobbies.....?

Humm..
I think my hobbies are changing every season.


Especially in summer time, I enjoy doing something outside. My hobbies can be jogging, swimming, tanning in the park, going to beach, playing badminton, traveling, enjoying nightlife, going to concert and so on. I have lots of energy in summer. Usually spend time out but, of course, I watch movie every weekend. It is easy to do something in summer.


In winter, Let's see... I usually try to stay inside..haha. I like snowboarding but I prefer summer sports.. Honestly, I can't stand cold weather... When I feel cold, I also feel pain... haha. I read books a lot, watch more movies, sometimes cook (!!!!!) and get weights. Oh and go to museum more. I usually spend time alone in winter. My mind also gets fat :) Sometimes I feel melancholy and lonely but I enjoy that feelings. Overall, my winter is clam and silence. If someone meet me only in winter, they might be think that I'm an inactive person or, in a good way, thoughtful person.


During spring and fall, I love to take a picture of changing environment. Colors, specific smells and variety movement of nature... everything is so beautiful. I like to go mountain to see vast nature. I'm always inspired by nature. Last fall, I went Central park. I felt I'm in some romance movie. Every place was tinged with yellow and orange.


These days, I make an effort to study Español! Lately, studying Spanish is my big pleasure! Everyday I use Spanish as much as possible. haha.
In Korea, I play violin. I've played violin for more than 15years. I wanted to be a violinist when I was young... hehe. If I choose music as my major, my life would be totally different. Yes, of course, painting is another hobby. But now I feel painting is my work. If hobby turn to work, it come with responsibility and pressure. It's hard to just enjoy it. Sometimes, it really gives stress. But, when I finish my artwork, my face is filled with joy and happiness. I can't feel extreme happiness with other hobbies. That is why I can't say painting is just one of hobbies....:)

The scariest movie in my life

Hellow everyone, I finally installed Internet in my new apt. Now, I can post on time.

I want to write about the scariest movie that I have seen before.

The name of movie is 'The shining' directed and produced by Stanley Kubrick who was born in 1928 in New York. I’m not a big fan of horror movie but I saw it because of the director. He is one of my favorite and genius director. This movie made in 1980 and was based on the novel ‘Shining’ written by Stephen King. Jack Nicholson was the main character ‘Jack’ and he gave a great performance as a mad man.

A writer, Jack, get a job as a caretaker at Overlook hotel, which is in Colorado Mountain. That hotel need caretaker because during winter they can’t run hotel because of the strong snowstorm. Only Jack’ family have to stay in the hotel. The hotel manager said repulsive story to Jack. Few years ago, before caretaker, Grady killed his wife and twin daughter and killed himself. The dead body found next spring. At that moment he doesn’t care about that story.

The family is locked in the hotel by a snowstorm. They try to adapt to the new surroundings. His son, Danny, has psychic abilities that can see past and future and he start to see a twin sister. At the same time a supernatural force gradually influences Jack. He is getting mad! His son figures it out and tries to escape from Jack with his mother. But Jack already loses his mind and tries to kill his family.

This film described bottomless isolation in the huge place and psychological pressure. Kubrick use new shooting techniques called “Steady cam.” This filming technique makes screen calm, orderly and beautiful. Although screen is beautiful, we feel strong paranoid and music make us tired because of the strong tension. It is better to focus on production techniques rather than content. Kubrick very well knows what situation make people feel a sensation of fear.

The reason I live

Time goes so fast. I’ve been NY already 8 month. I miss my parents. ;(

   I was born in 1988 in Jeju Island. My parents are still living in beautiful Island but I moved out to Seoul because of university. Hum. I got used to live alone. What an independent woman! Ha-ha.

   My father is a dentist. I have a great regard for him. He provides a valuable community service with my mother such as a free medical examination. My mom is pharmacist. They met in medical services club to do volunteering when they were in university. That is so nice, isn’t it? My mother works in hospital. My brother and I was young, she had own pharmacy in our house. She raised us all by herself. I have a younger brother who studies in MIT. His major is physics. I’m so proud of my brother. He never disappoints our parents. Sometimes I feel he is my big brother. Ha! I’m an only person in my family want to work in art industry. Because my family’s major are natural sciences. My mother is big reason that I choose painting to my major. She wanted to be a painter but my grandmother wanted to keep studying.

   I’m an eldest daughter and it is hard to live as an eldest child. I had been lost my way during an adolescent period. I gave my parents a hard time. I don’t think I was good daughter. But my parents always believed, supported and loved me. And they still give to me boundless love. They are always being there for me. Although my brother and I live in U.S.A, we are always connect together. I appreciate that I’m a daughter of my parents.  

This is our family ring. Mine and my brother's. All my family member have this ring with their initial. I'm always wearing this ring and think my family. It makes our bond strong.

Humm..

How's it going everything?
I hope everyone having a great weekend.

Next wed I'll move out. It's nightmare and disaster....awww
During whole weekend I packed packed...and packed.

Do you know 'The Elves and the Shoemaker'? I just think about this story because It reflect my wish. It's a fairy tale for kids. Long story short, there was a shoemaker, who worked very hard, kind and honest. But he couldn't earn enough money. One day morning he woke up and sat himself down to his work. But the shoes all ready made. two little naked dwarfs came down and helped good man. And obviously it's happy ending. Anyway..

Why am I talk about this?
Because..I also need that naked dwarfs to pack my stuffs. tomorrow morning everything will be set up. hahaha... my desire.

Oh, really cold outside. I born in December but I hate winter. Finally harsh winter came to New York City! I have to go to sleep..Time is running out! It's almost 4 am. 

Good night everybody and have a nice dream :)

But now I live in Seoul city because of my university. yes yes..yes my major is Fine Art and I want to be an Artist. I started painting when I was 4 years old. And now its my everything! Maybe I can show my art work in this blog.... haha

I can play the violin. At some point in my life, I want to be an violinist. Currently I obsess to learn Spanish. I'm really appreciate that I can learn new language. When I learn new language, I feel like that I really can understand their culture. I love to talk about History, Philosophy, Politic and any kind of boring subjects. Ha!

I have younger brother who also study in USA. He is studying physics in MIT. He is my only brother and I love him so much. :)

I'm really interested in Films. My favorite directors are Danny Boyle, Martin Scorsese, Stanley Kubrick and Guy Ritchie. They made so amazing movies and if you know some of them, we can share our opinion.

I love traveling and have visited Chaina, Thailand, Egypt, Japan and Canada. I never been Europe yet but I'm sure I will visit next summer. In United State, I have been to San Francisco, Los Angles, Washington D.C, Philadelphia and Boston. Oh and Niagara Falls! I couldn't forget the feeling when I saw Niagara Falls first time.

This is my third time to visit New York. I'm crazy about waiting hot summer....... But this winter is not that bad though. Anyway, I love this city especially in summer time. You can feel strong ENERGY in this activating city. Every day, I'm glad that I can stay this beautiful city. I want to take this great opportunity and learn lots of things not only English also various experience.



Good to see you everybody. :)
