Note to recorder:

Please read in english part, and if you find any mistakes you can read as you want. THANK YOU VARY MUCH!

• ♥♡♥♡This /(or The/) entry below is from yesterday English entry/(= my English entry yesterday) , and now I am rewriting it according to one of my friend’s correction. And also I will record in Korean too. If you find my other mistakes(= any other mistakes ) , please correct them .

~~~WooOOoooh~~I am so tired that I am dozing off sitting at my desk.
• Oh, I can’t stand it any longer/(=any more/ .) So….I will talk about two topics very briefly.
• The first one is 'last night`s meeting' and the second topic is 'today’s visit to my son in the army.

---<Firstly:: about yesterday’s meeting.>---------------
• Yesterday evening I attended my husband's friend`s family meeting, and had dinner.
• It has been a long time SINCE we last met./= It had been a long time SINCE we (last) met./
• One of the families at the meeting will go to Sao Paulo Brazil next week.
• They aren't emigrating, they're just planning to stay for about 2 years.
• They said, they would like to experience (IN A new living environment. /)/(living in a new environment.)
• Isn `t that brave? What do you think about this?
• WHAT`S MORE that couple has two teenage boys.
• I hope they will be able to breath fresh air there.
• •And the other family has a special child.
• In fact, as a family who has a exceptional child, it is very difficult to live in Korea.///It is very difficult to live in Korea with an exceptional child. ///It is very difficult to live in Korea with a special needs child.
• .They have suffered many difficulties .( had = past only. have suffered = past continuous.)
• On the one hand I hope they will overcome these difficulties, and on the other hand, I hope Korean society will improve for disabled people.////
• I hope they can overcome these difficulties, and I also hope Korean society will improve its facilities for disabled people
• Oh, there is another good news! Two girls are going to college this spring.///Oh, there’s more good news! Two girls are starting college this spring.
• This is the best news to a Korean family.//This is great news .This news made all of us relieved.
• Usually, getting into a college is the most important thing to normal Korean family.
• .Yeah~ This is just our reality in today’s Korean society.
• • Well……anyway, I ate so much. We were on a family buffet/ =We went to a buffet , so I ate my fill of seafood=so I had a plate fulled of seafood , ate super sweet desserts, and chatted with them heartily.
• We were welcoming this Korean traditional New Year, and I hope we can love ourselves, hugs our families with love.
• Everyone knows while we live in this world the most important thing is ‘love’.

•--<The second thing: My visiting my son in?/at?the?military >---
•Today my husband and I visited [went to see] my son who is in the army. We went because our son wanted to see us.
• Oh,no~~!To tell you the truth, We knew preferred to see his stuff instead.
• So my husband and I went to the military base with a soondae;( a kind of blood sausage ) and his big mug-cup and a big bottle citron tea base. (*bottle of tea = drink now. bottle of tea base = mix with water to make tea)
• Last week when my son returned to the military army base , he seemed that he was a little( bit )nervous. I feel it was caused by his memory of when he first joined when he was a private (a common soldier). But today when I met him he seemed very relaxed. Haha^_^/ ~~ Probably because during his absence almost 10 months he became a superior. Time is passing, so when he returned, after 10 months in Afghanistan, he found there’s some changing. Time is passing, so when he returned, after 10 months in Afghanistan, (/he found some anging changes..)(/=things had changed.) He said it felt really good to take a hot shower. n Afghan there`s a time limit for using hot showers , so he had to shower very quickly. Sometimes he had to take a shower around dawn.
• And about ‘citron tea’!^^ Today he said to me this story, when he was private, he had envied that his superior drank that tea using his own /private big mug-cup.
Hahaha~~~ ^__________^)))))Now,, he would like to drink citron tea using his own big mug-cup , and besides he would try to share it with his all subordinates . Isn’t it fun? They are all kids!

• Em…. well now I am not sleepy. But I’d better go to bed. Sorry this got so long @.@/)))^^// See you soon !Have a good night!

-<첫 번째: 어젯밤 모임 이야기 >---- • 어제 저녁에는 남편과 함께 친구 가족들 모임에 참석하여 저녁식사를 함께 했습니다. 모두 무척 오랜만이었습니다.
한 가족은 다음주 브라질 쌍파울로로 이사를 갈 거라고 합니다. 이민은 아니지만, 2년정도 우선 살아볼 예정이라고 합니다. 한번쯤 새로운 환경에서 살아 보고 싶어서라고 합니다. 용감하지 않아요? 게다가 십대의 아들이 둘 있거든요. 새로운 곳에서 새로운 공기를 마실 수 있는 좋은 기회가 되기를 바라는 바입니다.
그리고 다른 가족에게는 장애아 자녀가 있습니다. 사실 한국 사회에서는 장애인이 있는 가정은 많은 어려움이 따릅니다. 그들이 그런 어려움들을 슬기롭게 극복하기를 바라며, 한국 사회에서 장애인을 위한 개선이 점차 더 있기를 바라는 바입니다.
아, 참! 그리고 기쁜 뉴스가 있었습니다. 두 소녀가 올 봄에 대학생이 되는 소식입니다. 이것이 가장 기분 좋은, 오늘의 최고 소식이며 제일 반가운 소식입니다. 이로써 우리들은 모두 안심이 되었답니다. 대학에 들어 가는 일은 한국의 일반 가정에서 가장 중요한 일이니까요. 네~~~ 어쩔 수 없습니다! 오늘날 한국 사회에서 살고 있는 우리들의 현실이니까요.
네~~~~ 아무튼, 나는 무척 많이 먹었습니다. 가족 뷔페 식당이어서 해산물을 실컷 먹고, 달콤한 디저트도 먹고, 수다도 엄청나게 떨었습니다. 우리들은 설날을 맞이하여, 새해에는 더욱 더 사랑하고, 사랑으로 가족을 보듬는 해가 되기를 바랍니다. 우리 모두 알고 있지요, ‘이 세상을 살아 가는 가운데 가장 중요한 것이 ‘사랑’’임을 말이지요.

--<두 번째 이야기>---군대로 아들 면회 간 이야기 >--오늘은 남편과 함께 아들 면회를 갔습니다. 그건 아들이 우리를 보고 싶어해서이지요, 아니! 사실대로 말하자면, 아들의 물건을 보고 싶어해서겠지요.^^// 그래서 순대와 아들의 큰 머그컵과 유자차를 가져 갔습니다. (영어로는 ‘순대’가 아이스크림이라고요? 너무 재미있네요. ) 지난주 아들이 귀대 할 때는 좀 예민해지는 듯 했습니다. 아마 처음 이등병으로 입영할 당시의 기억 때문이 아닌가 싶었는데, 오늘 만나서 보니 너무나 여유로워 보였습니다. 하하~~ 아프칸 파병으로 거의 10여개월 만에 와서 상병으로 진급했기 때문인가요? 네! 시간은 흘러가는 것이니, 아프칸에서 10여개월 만에 되돌아 오니 여러 가지가 바뀌었던 것입니다. 아들 말로는 마음대로 뜨거운 물로 샤워를 하는 것이 참 좋다고 합니다. 아프칸에서는 더운물 공급이 한정되어 있어서, 엄청나게 빨리 해야만 한다고 하며, 어떤 때는 새벽에 일어나 샤워를 하기도 했다고 합니다.
그리고, ‘유자차’! ^^ 음., 오늘 아들 이야기를 들어 보니, 이등병일 때 상사가 커다란 개인 머그컵으로 유자차를 타서 마시는 것이 정말 부러웠나 봅니다. 그래서 자기도 따뜻한 유자차를 타서 개인 머그컵에 가득 부어 마시며, 아래 병사들에게도 골고루 나눠 주려고 한답니다. 재미있지 않으세요? 군인들이 모두 덩치만 큰 아이들입니다!
음…………..좋아요! 이젠 졸리지가 않아요. 그래도 자러 가는 게 좋겠죠? 너무 길어졌어요. 죄송합니다! @.@/)))^^// 다음에 뵙겠습니다. 안녕히 주무셔요!

2011.1.30) 两个话题/
哇~ 因为今天真累。刚才之前我还坐在桌前,头一点一点的打盹。现在真的再不能忍住困意了.马上写完2个事情就去睡觉。一个是昨天晚上聚会的话题。另一个是今天去军队会见儿子的话题。
第一 : 昨天晚上的聚会
昨天傍晚我和老公一起去参加朋友家庭聚会,并有一起吃了晚饭。 大家都很久没见了。一个家庭说下个周要搬到巴西圣保罗。不是移民,是先预定在那里住2年看看。说想尝试一下在新的环境生活。 很勇敢吧?因为再加上还有2个10几岁的儿子。我希望这是他们在新的地方能够呼吸新鲜的空气的好的机会。而且别的家庭有残疾的孩子。事实上在韩国有残疾孩子的家庭会伴随着很多的困难。我希望他们能够智慧的克服这样的困难,我也希望在韩国渐渐地更有为了残疾人的改善。
啊,对了!还有一个高兴的新闻。2个少女今天春天成为大学生的消息。这个是心情最好,今天的最棒的消息也是最让人高兴的消息。由此我们都可以安心了。因为进去大学的事情,在韩国的一般家庭是最重要的事情。是的~ 没有办法!因为这是在韩国生活的我们的现实。
是的~ 反正,我吃了很多。因为是家庭自助餐,我尽情的吃海鲜,和香甜的餐后甜点,也聊了个够。我们迎接春节,也希望在新的一年更相爱,成为用爱来拥抱家庭的一年。我们大家都知道,在这个世上生活最重要的就是爱。今天和老公一起去会见儿子了。那是因为儿子想我们了。不是!事实上来说,是想念儿子的东西。^^所以我带去了米肠和儿子的大的马克杯和柚子茶。(米肠用英语说是冰激凌? 太有意思了)
上个周儿子归队的时候,好像变得有点敏感。 可能是记忆起刚开始作为2等兵入伍的当时了。今天见了, 看起来非常悠闲。哈哈~作为阿富汗派兵,几乎10个月了,升级到上兵的原因?是的,因为时间的流逝,因为在阿富汗10多个月返回来,有改变了很多。用儿子的话说用热水洗澡真是好。在阿富汗热水供应有限,只有非常迅速的洗,有时候清晨起来,也淋浴。
而且,柚子茶!^^ 恩,今天听了儿子的话,2等兵的时候,上司用自己的相当大的马克杯冲柚子茶喝,真是羡慕呀。所以自己也冲热柚子茶满满的倒在自己的马克杯里面和,说也均匀的分给下面的兵士们。很有意思吧?军人们都是块头很大的孩子们。
恩。。很好!现在不困了。即使这样去睡还是比较好的吧?非常长,对不起。下次见。晚安!
