Halloween

Halloween is a tradition celebrated on the night of October 31, most notably by children dressing in costumes and going door-to-door collecting sweets, fruit, and other treats. It is celebrated in parts of the Western world, though most commonly in the United States, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Puerto Rico, and with increasing popularity in Australia, New Zealand, as well as the Philippines. Halloween originated as a Pagan festival among the Celts of Ireland and Great Britain with Irish, Scots, Welsh and other immigrants transporting versions of the tradition to North America in the 19th century. Most other Western countries have embraced Halloween as a part of American pop culture in the late 20th century.
The term Halloween, and its older spelling Hallowe'en, is shortened from All-hallow-even, as it is the evening before "All Hallows' Day"[1] (also known as "All Saints' Day"). In Ireland, the name was All Hallows' Eve (often shortened to Hallow Eve), and though seldom used today, it is still a well-accepted label. The festival is also known as Samhain or Oíche Shamhna to the Irish, Calan Gaeaf to the Welsh, Allantide to the Cornish & Hop-tu-Naa to the Manx. The holiday was a day of religious festivities in various northern European Pagan traditions, until Popes Gregory III and Gregory IV moved the old Christian feast of All Saints Day to November 1. Halloween is also called Pooky Night in some parts of Ireland, presumably named after the púca, a mischievous spirit.
Many European cultural traditions hold that Halloween is one of the liminal times of the year when the spiritual world can make contact with the physical world and when magic is most potent (e.g. Catalan mythology about witches, Irish tales of the Sídhe).

Naoni Campbell arrested in London(Oct 27)

Scrap From
KOREA HEALARD. FRIDAY. OCTOBER27. 2006. ENTERTAINMENT

My Opinion
Sometimes we see the article about Nomi Campbell arrested in somewhere. Already we know about her, she has a sharp temper. She was became known for the first black model. As this reason, she earned lots of money. And she appeared in front of the top of the magazine. When I heard these women, that time I think about Tyra. Because both of them, they have a problem as the black model. But recently they solved this problem in tyra show. I think Naomi has a lot of stress. So she dispel the stress to the another people. But I think she don't do that. Worse and worse, she'll down to the bottom.

I feel free for exams

Finally, most of the exams are finished. This time exams are some difficult. Writing exam wanted writing about Alexander to us. And Grammar is always difficult to me. Reading exam is very confused. So I couldn't found answer easily. Even so Conversation is easy to me. It is just speaking about my story. Next Monday, We have Prof. Jung's exam. It is just reading about book. It looks like easy. But he judge about my pronunciation and intonation. I can do intonation. But I a little worry about my pronunciation. Especially 'L’ and 'R' sounds some confused. Also I always was missing about last 'S' sound. So today and tomorrow I must do practice reading.

Alexander

Two years ago, I have been watched movie that name is ‘Alexander’ in theater. Before watching this movie I was very expecting by saw the Alexander’s trailer. I remember disappointing when I saw this movie. This movie has very huge but it doesn’t have exciting even though some boring. Before yesterday, we have mid-term writing exam that is watching movie and I must have writing about Alexander. Frankly speaking, I have been boring to watch again Alexander. But as this time, I exactly know Alexander that why was famous. And I think Alexander has ability about can see the future. Whose think about multiculturalism at that time? I didn’t agree his way of rule. But It’s looks good that trying to the multicultural. Most of all he was broken about general person’s thinking. He was given an example to intermarriage with a Babylonian. Maybe it was very fresh shocked to the Alexander’s close associates. As we know by watching movie, Alexander’s close associate was against his intermarriage. But Alexander didn’t hold fast to his own views. I think, therefore appeared multiculturalism. Also as he received other country’s good example so they became empire. If Alexander were not dreamed about multiculturalism, maybe we didn’t still receive the other’s culture. I think it must need for development. We could development as exchange of culture another county to each other. I while watched this movie, I think that our country’s multiculturalism. In Jo-Seon age, someone called Heng-Seon-Dae-Won-Goon, He didn’t receive other culture even though other country’s good example. So our country culture’s development was being late contrary to other country. His policy seems like ‘Monroe Doctrine’. It’s not good. I think if some county wanted top of world then they must have open mind like Alexander. So they received other country’s good example. Of course, we don’t have just followed the good example. We keep to our country good example. And then we mixed up good example to each other. If we have bad culture contrary to another culture then we accept other country’s good example. So to speak one more, I think he is good job to the multiculturalism. Who’s said about it was impossible? It was possible. Just his planed take the initiative in doing. I loved his open mind. Also we need open mind to accept other county’s good example. I feel interested about Hellenic’s culture. If I given a chance to go to abroad then I want to go to the Greece or Rome. Because there has a lot of Hellenic’s culture. I really enjoyed researching about Alexander.

Aftershocks continue after Hawaii quake(Oct 17)

American History X

One day I read the book that name is 'We can see United States of America by the movie'. This book referred movie to 'American History X'. This movie's story about is the color problem. American History X's actor is Edward Norton who role is Deric vinyard. He has anger to color people. Because 3years ago, He loose his father which died to the black. At that time he has segregation. One day black man has still Deric father's car. But Deric shoot the gun to the black. And then he go to a jail. He a lot of thing in the jail. He think It was not become different that he hate color people. And in there he feel that black people is sympathize better than him. When he came out of a jail. He realized that he do not anymore respect DOC. But his younger brother whose name is Danny vinyard became same him. He didn't wanna do that. So he angry to his younger brother. As time goes by everything is alright. But his younger brother was killed to black people. This means is retaliation of anger. This movie has a lot of things to the color problem.

About 10years ago, I make friends with Jang Jong Oh who is in picture's person. When I was young, I went to the computer academy. One day Someone was bothering me which person the first meeting. That person's name is Jang Jong Oh. I didn't like him. Because His bothering didn't seems like to stop. Unfortunately, I grow five class. That mean is my old is 12years.

They have a good idea that there has mineral waters, someone build Hawaiian center. The center owner employment for Hawaiian dance. At first time a coal town residents didn't agree that opinion. But even though they doesn't have any good idea for bring round their town. So a coal town girls desire that job for their town. Of course they have suffered from something. But they resolved the that problem. My impressive scene is Yu Aoi dance who team reader for teacher. This movie is some boring. But they have deeply impression. I am feel to inconvenience as time goes by PIFF. Next years I want to became PIFF volunteer.

Eternal Summer

Today , I was watching movie which name is 'Eternal Summer'. A queer cinema with the twist of a coming-of-age film? Or a coming-of-age film with the twist of queer cinema? With college looming ahead, relations between childhood friends Jonathan, Shane, and Carrie, undergo subtle changes. While Jonathan comes to realize his love for Shane and starts distancing himself from Carrie, Shane realizes his love for Carrie. Carrie, in turn, is aware of both their feelings and becomes increasingly agitated. Director Leste Chen traces the emotional difficulties that teenagers experience as they form their sexual identities. Rather than focusing on the origin or context of these emotional difficulties, however, he focuses on the altogether different value of “true friendship.” While some may reject this move, it constitutes another lens through which to interpret the emotional difficulties that teenagers experience during the period of their sexual awakening. In other words, Chen departs from the usual perspective of viewing physical intimacy as constituting the only solution to the problem of sexual identity. This is precisely the reason that Carrie needs to be present when Jonathan and Shane reaffirm their friendship. By understanding the true nature of their friendship, she also manages to reestablish her own friendship with the men. For these reasons, we can view this film as both a coming-of-age film AND queer cinema. Today this movie didn't have meeting with director. But director and actors are appeared finishing movies. Audience has catch a good chance. I expect to director with his movies. His name is Leste CHEN who is Born in 1981, Leste Chen is one of the most prolific and successful young directors in Taiwan. He has directed more than a dozen music videos for some of the most popular recording artists in Taiwan and Hong Kong. His short films have been consistently nominated for awards at the Taipei Film festival. The Heirloom, Chen`s first feature film, had the largest opening box office of a local film in Taiwan since 2002.

Avril Lavigne apologizes for spitting(Oct 4)

My Opinion
First the paparazzi mean is photographers who follow famous people around, hoping to take interesting or shocking photographs of them that they can sell to a newspaper. So paparazzi was want to an Avril Lavigne lately life's photo. Of course I understand her mind. She go to everywhere, someone is took the picture. If I was she I'm also be crazy. But she shouldn't have spat at photographers. I think, It is never finished clash to each others.

Mellinda Golden is not close to her's mother. They don't understand to each other. I know that this is very important. If I want to be a close to someone then I must open my mind to someone. Nowadays, I don't know what am I to do. Even thought by myself. Worse and worse I break up from close to my friend and with someone's relationship. I don't want it. But I always do this.

In Colorado, gunman kills hostage, self in standoff(Sep 29)

My Opinion
I think gun must have disappear in this world. If gun were not made at the first time, nowadays were not happen same situation. Of course someone said it must need as protect by themselves. But I think gun is more and more happen to the bad accident. This accident's gunman is very bad guy. Why he was kills hostage. What a shame. Also I wonder that why Platte Canyon High School supervisor didn't defended the gunman. They must keep away from stranger.
