We often/,/Need time to cry /우리는 가끔 가끔 우는 시간이 필요해요.
• There is often something
• which makes our heart flutter,
• which makes our hear skip a beat
• And sometimes we are filled with expectation for something,
• only to become disappointed by it.
• We try to console ourselves and break free of the disappointment,
• But through consolation end up only in self pity.
• Like this our living existence is overflowing with emotions.
• Tonight, sleep well!

• Have you ever cried loudly?
• as if you were a small child?
• Sometimes I think we need to.
• However, when I considered myself, I realized that I had not cried for a long, long time.
• So I feel that I could use a good cry.
• It will cleanse me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
우리들은,
그 무엇인가로 인해 가슴 설레고,
그 무엇인가에 의해서 가슴이 뛰며,
그리고 또 그 어떤것으로 기대로 가득차며,
그러나, 그 무엇으로 인해 실망하여,
그런 자기 자신을 위로 하며, 실망으로부터 벗어 나오려고 애를 쓴다.
그러나 가끔 자기 위안을 하면서 자기연민을 느끼기도 한다.

이런 식으로 우리들은 넘치는 감정속에서 살아가며 존재하고 있다.
오늘밤 ,편안히 주무세요!

여러분은 맘껏 큰 소리로 울어 본 적이 있으세요? 마치 어린 애기처럼 말이지요.
제 생각에는 가끔 우리들은 엉엉 우는것도 필요하다고 느낍니다.
그러나 오늘 내가 나 자신을 돌이켜 보니, 난 나 자신이 그동안 너무 오랫동안 울지 않았음을 깨달았습니다.
그래서, 나 또한 큰 소리로 울어 보아야 할 것 같군요. 울음은 나를 깨끗하게 청소해 줄 것입니다.

What are we afraid of? I believe we’re afraid of things we can’t fully control. For example, we can’t control if our children hang out with bad kids at school, and then experiment with drugs; when we go to a horror movie in theatres, we can’t help but watch the terrifying pictures for the next two hours; when we go flying we have essentially no control over the smoothness of the flight, takeoff and landing. These are the kinds of things we lose sleep over. Things we can control, like the things we say, the clothes we wear, we tend to do okay on. But so many people are shackled by fears, almost all of them totally unfounded, that I thought a book on breaking free from fear would be interesting and helpful.

I had such sky-high hopes for this book, but within about 2 minutes of reading, I knew something was up. They say don’t judge a book by the cover. If only I’d heeded that advice, and flipped over the book, the Author Bio would have read, “Max Lucado, Minister of Writing and Preaching for the Oak Hills Church,” which is great, but if this book was going to base its advice on Holy Books, and several thousand year old religions, I fear a few of my readers are going to be left in the cold, namely Atheists and non-Christians. I too, am an Atheist, and have a spiritual side, but I’m looking for universal practical advice, and regrettably the advice Lucado offers is, essentially, to pray for a safe and happy future. Hmm. Something tells me my atheist friends aren’t gonna be drawn in by such a silver-tongue. So allow me to riff on the reality of atheist fears.

What it comes down it is my earlier description of what fear is, fear of the unknown, fear of that which we cannot control. We’re afraid that when the time comes, when the pressure is on (whatever such pressure may take the form of) we won’t be able to do what’s necessary to pull through. First off, I think any ‘fear’ which doesn’t have ‘death or critical physical injury’ involved has got to go. You just can’t listen to that stuff. Being afraid of social situations, that’s got to be one of the most common, and most harmless, much like ‘fear of public speaking.’ If you’re not going to die, or risk physical harm, then it’s down to ego, right? You don’t want to look bad or do badly. You don’t want to strike out with the bases loaded, with the world watching. Well if you want to get really good at something, you’ve got to practice it. Whether it’s public speaking, or stand-up comedy, I think Malcolm Gladwell covered this subject in his great “Outliers”: put the time in, and your fears, realistic though they may be, will evaporate over the course of your 10,000 hours.

Now, back to thoughts on fear, and some informed advice/discussion from those who actually have experience. Alternate books on fear, such as Arianna Huffington’s “Becoming Fearless,” would probably have been the ideal book for women, and 50 Cent tagging along with the great Robert Greene for “The 50th Law” will probably be the perfect book for guys. But I’m warning you, those books have boring covers .

• I would like to talk about some news of today.
• These news “articles” were posted “in” today's newspaper.
• There is “some” preposterous news, sad news, and” also” “some” warm news.

• The first is (a X) preposterous news: Two brothers had buried 10 more billion won under a garlic patch.
• “Since” the money was dirty money from illegal gambling, they couldn`t deposit in a bank, “and so" they bought a garlic patch.
• They planted garlic in the day time, and planted bills “late at night”.
• The Police “dug into” the garlic patch “with a hydraulic shovel”, and had found all the bills.
• Now that small village “has become a famous place” “as ‘Money patch’”
• Many people visit to see that garlic and money patch.

• The second news is very sad.
• This year three bright young students of the Korean university, KAIST, took their own lives.
• This has become “a hot topic of discussion" and “has generated” many questions.
• One of the KAIST professors sent “an” e-mail to his students” to try to help them”.
• “Here I have posted” “his mail to the students.”
• “ It is called” , “To my lovely disciples”. “ Since” my English is poor, it is not easy translate, so I just posted “that picture in Korean”.

• And the third news: A couple” in their twenties” visited a charity center and donated all of the gift money they had received during their wedding.
• They didn't leave their name or even any contact details.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

• Today I found this news article and picture on a website by chance. I found it very interesting.
• This picture is of the ‘Stepping Bridge’ that was opened at SiChuan, China.
• When Chinese step on a bridge, they pray for their family’s happiness and health and peace for their country.
• Due to the Sichuan earthquake, this ceremony was stopped for three years, but from this year it has started again!
• So it has become a hot topic
• Not only MianYang people, but also visitors from DeYang and ChengDu also came, so it was overcrowded with people on the stepping bridge.
• It was completely packed with people crossing the bridge.
• Wow….Look at them! Could you even get one foot in?
• 오늘 나는 우연히 인터넷에서 이 소식과 사진을 보았는데, 무척 흥미로웠다. 이것은 중국 '미엔양'에서 거행한 ‘다리밟기’의 행사 장면으로, 이 행사는 200년간 내려온 전통행사라고 한다. 중국인들은 다리를 밟으며 한편 가족의 안녕과 건강을 기원하며 또 한편 나라의 평안을 기원한다고 한다. 사천지진으로 인해 3년간 이 행사가 중단 되었었는데 올해 다시 시작했다고 해서 이 ‘다리밟기’가 큰 화제거리가 되었다고 한다. 현장에는 '미엔양' 사람뿐 아니라 '더양'과 '청두' 사람들도 와서, 당일엔 10만명이 넘는 사람들로 인산인해를 이루었다고 한다.
• 와~ 보세요! 여러분은 한발자국이라도 들이 밀 수 있겠어요?
--《中国的方方面面 [fāng fāng miàn miàn]》 ------
• 今天我在网上偶然看到了这个新闻和照片，挺有趣。
• 这张照片是在四川绵阳举行的 “踩桥会”的场面。
• 这“踩桥会” 是绵阳200多年传下来的传统活动。
• 中国人一边踩桥，一边祝贺家人的平安健康和国家的平安。
• 由于四川地震，这个活动停顿了三年，不过今年又开始了。
• 于是这个“踩桥会” 成为了热门话题。
• 在现场不但有绵阳的人，连从德阳，成都来的人都聚在一起踩了桥。
• 当天来踩桥的人10多万人， 这里就成了人山人海。
• 哇~~你们看看，你们能踩进去一脚吗?< 你们能踩一脚进去吗？ >

you say what you want to say
your diamonds are drops of rain
your smile is ypur credit card
and your currency is your love

and the morning is for you
and the air is free
and the birds sing for you
and your positivity

watch out

so you play where you want to play
on the main streets where the creeps all pray
and you can feel like you're in dynasty
and you can be what you want to be

and the morning is for you
and the air is free
and the birds sing for you
and your positivity

and the car crash for you
and the sunshine is free
and the sirens call you

yes the morning is for you
yes the air is free
and yes the world spins for you
and your positivity

Veterans of today's wars and earlier wars have often found themselves stymied.

We are poised to end our combat mission in Iraq by the end of August.

<My Latest Headache!/당면한 문제거리!> • "It seems that" my desktop was attacked by a computer virus. It already happened "once several weeks ago", so now I cannot use the internet on my desktop at all. It's "an awful situation". There is "no other way". I just have to use my old laptop. I'm sure I can call someone to come and fix it, but since I am too lazy I haven't fix it "yet". And there’s "one more problem", my laptop hasn't always worked when I've needed the internet. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't work. I don't know "when it will want to work" and "when it won't". IT is my present headache!
아마도 내 데스크탑 컴퓨터가 바이러스에 걸린 것 같아요.몇 주 전부터 생긴 건데, 데스크탑으로는 인터넷을 전혀 열어 볼 수가 없어요.정말 이건 엄청나게 불편한 일입니다. 그러나 할 수 없어서, 나의 오래된 노트북을 쓰고 있답니다. 아, 네! 사람을 불러서 고치면 되는데, 문제는 제가 너무 게을러서 아직까지 고치지 않은 거죠. 그 외에 문제가 하나 더 있는데, 내 노트북이 내가 인터넷을 하려 할 때마다 매번 열리는 게 아니라는 거죠. 어떤 때는 인터넷이 연결 되고, 어떤 때는 인터넷 연결이 안 된다는 겁니다. 그래서 나는 정말 언제 연결되고 언제 연결이 안 되는지 알 수가 없어요.@.@; 아~~ 바로 이게 저의 당면한 문제거리/두통거리입니다!

• 可能是我家的电脑中病毒了。 这种现象是从几个星期之前开始的，用这个电脑上不了网。 这真是件很不方便事情。 不过（我）没有办法，所以现在呢，我得用（很久）以前的笔记本电脑. 阿， 是的！我叫人让他修理它就可以了，不过由于我太懒还没修理。/ 不过我懒得修理。/ 此外（另外），还有一个问题就是，我的笔记本式电脑，它不是每次我想上网的时候就能上的。 有时候它能上网，有时候不能上网，我真不知道到底什么时候它可以上网，什么时候它不可以？ 这就是我当前面对的问题（头疼的问题）

== 　< In the rainy evening>=< On this rainy evening>==
.I am here at Cafee Bene in Mok-dong.
Outside of the window, it`s a dark night, and also it`s raining, and I am just by myself here.
• Today, my husband went to see my son, and I went to see a musical with my friend.
• The truth is, this morning, when my husband and I got ready to go out to see my son, my friend called me and told she had tickets to the musical 'Gwanghwamun love song', so she let me go to watch with her.
• . Wow....It`s so great! However, you know? My son was waiting for a visit by mom and dad.
• So0000? Just then, my son called my phone, so I asked him "Hey~son! I would like to see a musical with mom`s friend, is it ok? （too selfish of a mom？）Dad can go to see you. SORR~~Y, my son! Today is the last day of that musical, so..... Mom`s friend invited me. Sure I could feel his disappointment.
• By the way, I went to the Sejong Center to see that musical. That musical was so good, because almost of those songs were made when I was young. All of those songs brought back my younger days.
• (Oh, he came already, I don't know whether I can continue to write or not.)
<비 오는날 저녁에>- 전 지금 여기 목동 커피베네에 있어요. 창 밖은 어둡고 비가 오는데, 지금 난 여기에 혼자 있답니다. 사실은, 오늘 아침 남편과 아들 면회를 가려고 외출 준비 중 친구 전화가 와서 뮤지컬 ‘광화문 연가’ 티켓이 있다고 함께 가자고 했어요. 와~ 너무 좋았습니다! 그런데~~말이지요! 아들이 엄마 아빠를 기다리고 있잖아요. 그래서요? 마침 그때 아들 전화가 왔길래 물어 보았습니다. “아들, 엄마가 친구랑 뮤지컬 보러 가고 싶은데 괜찮아? 아빠는 널 만나러 갈 거야, 미안해! 오늘이 공연 마지막 날인데, 엄마 친구가 초대했거든.” 물론 난 아들이 실망한 것을 느낄 수 있었지만, 어쨓튼 나는 뮤지컬을 보러 세종문화회관에 갔습니다. (엄청 이기적인 엄마?) 대부분 노래가 내가 젊었을 때 작곡된 노래여서 참 좋았습니다. 그 노래들은 순식간에 나의 젊은 시절을 떠올리게 했습니다.
아, 남편이 곧 데리러 올 겁니다. (와~ 벌써 왔네요. 글쎄요, 집에 가서 이어 쓸 수 있을는지 모르겠네요. )
