Swine flu

Unbelievable things are happend!
When I heard about this kind of disease, I thaught it would happend in story. I major in Microbiology and I took classes about Virus, Immunology and so on. So I know about the risk of Swine flu. In the news paper, someone said this flu will be harmful more than AI;avian influenza bird flu. When AI infected to people in early 20th century, which called Spain flu, twnety five millions to fifty millions people was died in the world. So they guess this Swine flu can be like Spain flu. I'm little bit scared. Every day infected people's numbers are getting rise and countries' number also incresing. I think it'll make a huge problem. People will be thrown into confusion, economics will be not good. Is the Swine flu caused of human? If it is true, humans are paracites in the Earth. I'm worried and shame. :(

Werther effect

I couldn't believe it when I heard about copycat suicide which is happenning in Korea. My sister told me about it and I was really surprised. Recently, there are many suicide cases in Korea. Celebrities committed suicide and also many people committed suicide who didn't know each other before died together. That sounds really scary. Why these things happened? I think life term is not enough which I want to do. Was there no choice without suicide? I think if someone died cause of own problem that person's life doesn't finish after the person death. The others who know and connect with the dead person will share the dead person's problem. Suicide can't solve the problem. It brings bigger problem. I think everyone should know about this and they shouldn't choose suicide. Suicide is the silliest behavior in the world. Even if your life is not easy, life is wealth.

My first Easter

Last April 12th was Easter. It was my first Easter as a catholic. Before I got baptism ceremony, I had no idea what Easter is. I just knew about Easter is a christian holiday and people scavenge Easter eggs. That's all I know about Easter. And this Easter was very special to me. Because I've never thought I would have Easter in US. Fortunately, I had two kinds of experience in Easter. Last Friday, Mike, who is a instructor at English conversation club, hold an Easter party in his house. It was so much fun and I could enjoy ordinary Easter in US. On Saturday, April 11th, there was an Easter mass at Korean catholic church. The mass presented Jejus's life again and it was good chance to understand about his life. By the way, I hate Easter Bunny. Because when I was a little kid, I saw a scary movie about Easter bunny. And I still feel that time's fear about Easter bunny. :(

Immigrants

As you know, America is the country of immigrants. Isn't it amazing? History of America was started at late 18 century but now America is the biggest and the strongest country in the world. I just knew surface of the history of America. I just knew America is a country of freedom. Last week, I had a chance to visit Bob Bullock Museum. There is a special exhibition. It is about the history of immigrants in America. The truth was different which I had thought. I think those things made present's America. So this time I could think about two faced of success. And also I could know about immigrants' life of other countries. Especially, in Asia, most countries have similar immigrants policy. I think it looks the same as early America's immigrants policy. I really hope all of the counties have the same position in the future. As soon as possible.

Brunch at Cafe Magnolia

Have you been to Cafe Magnolia? It's on west 6th street near Mopac. I've heard about this place last February. Actually, I think I heard about it before but I wasn't interested about it so I can't remember. Haha. One of my friends, she recommended have a brunch someday and we did! We had a brunch the first day of the spring break. When we arrived there the time was before 11 a.m. The place was very crowded so we were very suprised at it. Fortunately, we could get a table right now. When we checked a menu we realized the reason of crowd. It was a South by SouthWest season. My roomate told me we live in austin so that's why we didn't know. kk. We ordered different kinds of omelets and pancakes. I tried all kinds of food which we ordered and it was pretty good. Cafe Magnolia's food is reasonable cost, yummy and sufficient amount. I think it's better than the other restaurants in downtown. What do you do on Next Sunday? :)

Thanks Mom!

Today is my birthday in Korean time. Oh, my God. I'm getting old. Actually, when I was 21 years old, I thought I never got old. After that time, I hate and also like my birthday every time. And this time is very special. This is the first time to have my birthday without my family. Do you know that? In Korea, when people's birthday, they celebrate their birthday with their family and friens, and also thanks to their parents. So many people make MiyokGuk for their parents. MiyokGuk is a kind of soup which is made of seaweed and this one is good for detox. When women birth their baby, they have MiyokGuk for treat in Korea. This year I can't do it for my mother. 5 minutes ago, I called to my mother and told her thanks for birth me. I miss her very much. I hope to see her as soon as possible. And I want to thank to all of my friends. Thanks guys. This birthday is really special to me because of you.

Spring break?

I think spring break is very different between in Korea and US. In Korea, spring break season is usually end of fall semester on February. So students use this break for prepare next semester. Spring semester starts on March in Korea. When I heard about spring break in US, I felt strange. I came to Austin last August. During the fall semester there was no break and this is my first spring break in US. My American friend told me many students comeback their home or go travel during spring break. I think it is good for take a rest during semester. The time is after mid-term and it gives freshness. I also want to go somewhere but I'm so tired and it is good for take a relax and doing nothing. Maybe I'll watch the movies in my computer. Maybe I'll sleep all day long. Haha. Please, hang out with me. ^^;
