(Apr 11th 2011 22:30)<My Latest Headache!/당면한 문제거리!> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
• It seems that my desktop was attacked by a 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 if, 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!

(April 12th 2012) This is my entry in Chinese and English from the same day last year.(The entry below are my Chinese and English entries from the same day last year.)

rean recording for friends who are learning Korean. I just hope it will help with their Korean listening skills.
(April 12th 2011)< this way/side and that side of China ?/ various sides ?/ ☞ "Stepping Bridge"

• 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 the stepping bridge was overcrowded with people.
• It was completely packed with people crossing the bridge.
• Wow….Look at them! Could you even get one foot in?

“Born This Way”
It doesn’t matter if you love him, or capital H-I-M
Just put your paws up
’cause you were Born This Way, Baby
My Mama told me when I was young
We are all born superstars
She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on
In the glass of her boudoir
“There’s nothing wrong with lovin’ who you are”
She said, “Cause he made you perfect, babe.”
“So hold your head up girl and you’ll go far,
Listen to me when I say”
I’m beautiful in my way
Cause God makes no mistakes
I’m on the right track baby
I was born this way
Don’t hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you’re set
I’m on the right track baby
I was born this way
Ooo there ain’t no other way
Baby I was born this way
Baby I was born this way
Ooo there ain’t no other way
Baby I was born this way
Baby I was born this way
Ooo there ain’t no other way
Baby I was born this way
I’m on the right track baby
I was born this way
Don’t be a drag, just be a queen
Don’t be a drag, just be a queen
Don’t be a drag, just be a queen
Don’t be!
Give yourself prudence
And love your friends
Subway kid, rejoice your truth
In the religion of the insecure
I must be myself, respect my youth
A different lover is not a sin
Believe capital H-I-M (hey hey hey)
I love my life I love this record and
Mi amore vole fe yah (love needs faith)
Don’t be a drag, be a queen
Whether you’re broke or evergreen
You’re black, white, beige chola descent
You’re Lebanese, You’re Orient
Whether life’s disabilities
Left you outcast, bullied or teased
Rejoice and love yourself today
Cause baby you we’re born this way
No matter gay, straight, or bi
Lesbian, transgendered life
I’m on the right track baby
I was born to survive
No matter black, white or beige
Chola or Orient made
I’m on the right track baby
I was born to be brave
I was born this way hey!
I was born this way hey!
I’m on the right track baby
I was born this way hey!
I was born this way hey!
I was born this way hey!
I’m on the right track baby

(April 10th 2011 Sunday)== 　< 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. 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 me that she had tickets to the musical "Gwanghwamun love song", so she invited me to go watch it with her.
Wow....It`s so great!
However, you know? /Can you imagine?
My son was waiting for a visit from mom and dad.
So0000? Just then, my son called my phone,
so I asked him "Hey~son! Mom 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/watch that musical.
That musical was so good, because almost all of those songs were made when I was young.
All of those songs brought back my younger days.
Oh, Soon, my husband will come here to pick me up.
(Oh, he came already, I don't know whether I can continue to write or not.)

Now I am unloading my Korean recording for friends who are lerning Korean.
This entry below is my entry from last year in English and Chinese.
Some kind friends have helped me correct my mistakes.
I just hope it will help with their Korean listening skills.

Hi everyone.
My name is Amy.
I am just checking RhinoSpike. Anyone who has not signed in yet, pls do. It's awesome!

"Can I have some water?"
"It doesn't matter."
"No, I can't."

“You are beautiful, but you are empty,” he went on. “One could not die for you. To be sure, an ordinary passerby would think that my rose looked just like you– the rose that belongs to me. But in herself alone she is more important than all the hundreds of you other roses: because it is she that I have watered; because it is she that I have put under the glass globe; because it is she that I have sheltered behind the screen; because it is for her that I have killed the caterpillars (except the two or three that we saved to become butterflies); because it is she that I have listened to, when she grumbled, or boasted, or even sometimes when she said nothing. Because she is my rose.
And he went back to meet the fox.
“Goodbye,” he said.
“Goodbye,” said the fox. “And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible
to the eye.”
“What is essential is invisible to the eye,” the little prince repeated, so that
he would be sure to remember.
“It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important.”
“It is the time I have wasted for my rose–” said the little prince, so that he would be sure to remember.
“Men have forgotten this truth,” said the fox. “But you must not forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed. You are responsible for your rose. . . ”
“I am responsible for my rose,” the little prince repeated, so that he would be sure to remember.

So the little prince tamed the fox. And when the hour of his departure drew near–
“Ah,” said the fox, “I shall cry.”
“It is your own fault,” said the little prince. “I never wished you any sort of harm; but you wanted me to tame you. . . ”
“Yes, that is so,” said the fox.
“But now you are going to cry!” said the little prince.
“Yes, that is so,” said the fox.
“Then it has done you no good at all!”
“It has done me good,” said the fox, “because of the color of the wheat
fields.” And then he added:
“Go and look again at the roses. You will understand now that yours is unique in all the world. Then come back to say goodbye to me, and I will make you a present of a secret.”
The little prince went away, to look again at the roses.
“You are not at all like my rose,” he said. “As yet you are nothing. No one has tamed you, and you have tamed no one. You are like my fox when I first knew him. He was only a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But I have made him my friend, and now he is unique in all the world.” And the roses were very much embarrassed.
