hu~!!
Meaning to say, I need to have more exercise. I always imagine that I speck and write English as native speaker. Practice will make perfect; efforts can make anything possible. These are what I believe.
what is good for society?
The rebels demanded President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo step down. "We are joining our people in calling for a change in leadership. We call on the military to withdraw support for Mrs. Arroyo in order to end her unconstitutional and illegal occupation of the presidency," said Army Brigadier-General Danilo Lim, according to AFP reporters inside the hotel.However their rebellion was just ended after six hours by the Philippine military which sent 1,500 extra troops to the Manila Peninsula Hotel.
There was rebellion in 2003 by same member of rebellion in 2007. In 2003, Philippine government treated them in peaceful way to solve problem but this year, Philippine government used military forces. And this has positive after effects, because it is the kinds of warning to the people who want to rebel.
In case, their rebellion is finished successfully, what will be happened? That Successful rebellion will make a precedent. Meaning to say, people may think that it is possible that if they want to change a policy of government, they can rebel against government. And these kinds of thought will bring out a chaos of society; there is potential threat for government. The public will be suffering by chaos.
Famous philosopher Socrates respected a law, whether law is good or bad, because he thought that a law is a appointment in the society that is agreed by everyone, so people must keep it. Although he died by a law, he kept it. Everyone knows that a law has evil practices and sometimes, people take advantage of it.
However, if people use physical forces to fix that evil practice, that situation will lead society to anarchy. There is a proverb that, “Out of frying pan and into the fire.” Sometimes, people commit mistake that for fixing one problem, they destroy a whole. A solution of problem must be come from in a law of society; that is a democracy. The rebels should think what good for society is before they do something.

Now, I can hug anyone if they want
I think that EVT should apply different ways in the various cultures of different societies. Korean’s space expectation is really different from Filipino’s. Expectancy Violation theory reminds me my experience in the Philippines. Maybe that time was first SEM, last year. I was in the A Building 4th floor then, and I saw my friends there. My friends won a competition (I can’t remember what competition is.) so I congratulated their good works. Among my friend, there was unfamiliar face to me. Suddenly she hugged me same as my friend. I was really surprised and embarrassed because she violated my space expectation. However, my friends didn’t care about it, for them that was expectable space between her and me.In Korean, that kind of situation happens rarely. Most Koreans have strong space expectation because of Korean’s culture. Hugging is allowed between close friends. If a Korean is not familiar with person, they should respect the space of Korean.I have been here for more than two years and six months. Now, I can hug anyone if they want. Hahha. I adapted to Philippine culture well.

Time to change
These days, I continuously search about job. After, I wrote my editorial, I am shocked. I already sign up three website related to job searching. I realize that I think getting a job is not hard but in fact, that is super hard. Companies want to have many requirements from the people who want to apply.
However, I have nothing; it makes my feeling nervous. I need to start practical things to get a job now. Before do something, I should arrange what I need to do. Frankly, I am doing many things inefficiently. And I should add works to prepare for my future.
I still have one year, I must change by myself. I am not the one who is took care by others. I am one of the members of this cruel society. I must wake up.

Getting a Job in Korea: A surviving game
To solve this problem, the Ministry of Labor in Korea supported 40 million dollars to universities and companies, but they wasted the money for Job fairs which were just temporary events, so it didn’t help to solve essential problem. Also Korea government spent four billion dollars for three years to solve this problem, it produced jobs in the part of social insurance. However, it was not helpful to find a job to the people because it was not related with their interest and talent.
Moreover, in August 2006, Korea government made a law that if a probationary employee works in a company for more than two years, a company must hire him to be a regular employee. It seems like good for the employees. However, companies took advantage of it; companies fired their probationary employees before they work for more than two years and find new one. Korea government intended to reduce probationary employees however among 1,500,000 employees, 60 percent of them,8,500,000, are probationary employees now, and probationary employees increased 20 percent than last year. As a result, People don’t want to have that kind of job; people want to have stable job. This is the one of the reason to increase unemployment’s rate.
We need to have more essential way for solving this problem. It needs to start with education system. More than 30 percent of fresh graduate students get a job which is not regarding with their course. The reason is that when they choose their course, they find what they can afford to enter university based on their grade; it is one of the causes for making problem to find a job. If a person has certain plan in life based on his/her interest and talent, he/ she doesn’t weed out in the society. Thus, people should avoid planning their future based on trend, incredible information or impulse decision. We need to educate people steadily. They can minimize their mistakes by systematic education and job training which really important project individually and nationally. They are the essential treatment for solving this problem.

Pursue the job
After searching about it, I feel bad and quite worry about my future. According to my resources, 40% of people who are belonging to age between 20 to 30, don’t have a job and person need to beat 300 people. For example, if company wants to hire 30 employees, 9000 people apply to get a job from company.
That is why, people often say, “Li-GU-Bak” which means 90% percent of people who are belonging to age between 20 to 30 don’t have a job. This is just joke but it indicates what situation they encounter. They study English hardly for getting a job; they try to graduate university as possible as late because they expect that if time goes, the situation will be better; situation cannot be worse then now.
And I will be one of them soon; I need to adventure our society. That is why, their story is not others who I don’t need to take care, that will be my story. I hope that one years and half months later, the situation will be better than now.

Time goes by so fast.
I still remember last January when I saw fireworks for celebrating New Year; that was already 10 months ago. Also it means that I am turning to 26 years old. I used to say that age is just number but nowadays I think that age is not only just number, age is something.
Nowadays, I often think about my future. I want to do many things; I want to help my mother to enjoy her life, traveling Europe, and taking care of my sister. Simply, I don’t want to be took care by others, I am the one who take care of others. I feel sorry to the people who take care of me, specially my mother. I want to be their mainstay of life.
Maybe next year also goes by so fast and I will graduate soon. That time, I will become really adult who has responsibilities in life.

Byebye Kei~~~!!!
Hum… If we meet someone, there is a parting day. I think, no one can be together forever. And that’s sad. I’ve been with Kei for more than five months but I cannot believe that; I think that it is just one or two months. Kei is really good brother. He always takes care of me, and he want to give many things to me.
Sometimes, I feel that he is so cute and pure; He is childlike and he is easy going with other people. That is why, I can easily make a friend. For more than five months, I made lots of memories with him.
This Dec. 8, he will be back to Korea. I know that he needs to go there and find a good job; he leaves here for good. However I feel quite sad that someone who is important to me will be apart from me; that makes me sad.
Yet, I know that I will have our relationship with him continuously till end of my life. That is why, I can let him go. And when the time we meet again, we can show our better changes each other. I will pray for him to achieve his goals.

Life~~!!
I think that is life- -making a relationship with others. I already made lots relationship with other people. Sometimes those relationships gave my sorrows and pain but after overcoming them, I can feel that I grow up; at least I learned something from there. Thus I am not afraid of making a relationship. I want to meet many people and experience many things with them as much as I can.

improving????
Nowadays, I translate our church’s sermon. When my guardian told me that now you are the one who translate sermon to English, I thought it will steal my time a lot. The first week, I spent more than six hours to translate it. This week is my third week of translating sermon. I finished it for three and half hours today. Hehe. Good thing is that it helps me to improve my English writing. And now I feel that I am improving little by little. So I think, I will keep on doing this until my graduation.
I imagined two years later. Maybe I am good in writing heheh .Also I started to practice reading and speaking. I really hope that I can have good English skill two years later.
Hum. That’s great~! When I feel that I am improving, I am super happy. Cheer up Charles. Heh.

OH~~!!
They are my house mates...^^
I never know that dreaming is super tired. For more than 10 days, I have a dream every night.
This makes me super tired. Sinece last night, my body is malfunctiong. I have head ache and I feel that my body is like heavy stone. That is why, I didnt do anythings yesterday.
To solve this problem, I searched internet but I could not find anything to help this problems.
Actually I tried many ways. Someone told me, "If yourbody is tired, I won't have dream." so I had hard exercise but it didn't work. Another way, I slept at 1 p.m so I became too sleepy and I won't have a dream. However, that way was failed. Even I slept early.. I did many things but everything does'nt work. So i gave up.
I don't know what to do. If you know any kinds of ways to aviod dreaming. Kindly teach me.

OH~~!! MY GOD~~!!!
My group mates are Perz and Jaimee. They did a good job; I am satisfied with our presentation. However I was quite angry by myself.
The reason is that I did poor job.. I spoke so fast and my pronunciations were terrible.
That is why, I disappointed by myself. I have been here for more than two years and four months. However my English is still not too good. I need to practice more. So I decide to read loudly a English book a hour in a day. I don't know, I can keep this for a long time but I must
keep it...
Probablely after 2 months later.... I can feel something different from now~~~!!
and today I talked a lot with my class mates they are so kind... I love them... hahah.....

The praternity which is potential threat to the students.
The one of AUF student said, “There are some fraternities in the AUF; before when you join fraternity, it is good but now, fraternity are a group of people who usually the gang that does bad.” And she added that some names of fraternities and mostly those which vandalized walls were written by them; even some teachers are members of fraternity.
Most serious problem in fraternity is that there is what people call "hazing" which old members of a fraternity torture the people who are trying to be a member of a fraternity. Another AUF old student said, basically, old fraternity was for good. When there was a new one though they also have hazing, it wasn't as severe as fraternity nowadays. For instance, let's say there is a new one. Since the old members of a fraternity need to test the new one whether they are gonna allow a new one to join the fraternity or not. In hazing, they tell the new one that they are gonna blindfold him or her and they tell the new one that he or she is gonna walk on the cracks of a glass. However, the old members of a fraternity will change the cracks of a glass into popcorns after they blindfold the new one. It is a matter of testing a new one's trust on the old members of a fraternity.
This was done before. But now, it is totally different. The old members of a fraternity REALLY hit and torture new ones because they are doing "hazing." Few people even die because of hazing. Another example for hazing is that we can see it occasionally near AUF. A group of guys run beneath the school with naked body. They cover their faces with some kind of a box or mask.
Also when they want to withdraw from fraternity, which is hard as hazing. The members of fraternity give force to the person who wants to withdraw. Thus they have hardships in the school. As a result, the person hesitates or gives up withdrawing from fraternity.
Therefore, to prevent negative effects of fraternity and protect their students, school needs to do something practical like educate them, what good fraternity is and what they should avoid. If school let them do something, soon serious problem will be appeared. Although we cannot face them usually, surely there are fraternities which give negative effects to the students; School must face them in the right way.

oh~~!! nowadays, I don't post my pictures with my essay~~!
First love~~!!
TABAKO no flavor ga shita
NIGAkute setsunai kaori
Ashita no imagoro ni wa
Anata wa doko ni iru u darou
You are always gonna be my loveItsuka dareka to mato koi ni ochitemo
I`ll remember to love
You taught me how
you are always gonna be the one
Ima wa mada kanashii love song
Atarashi uta utaeru made
Tachidomaru jikan ga
Ugokidasou to shiteru
Wasuretakunai koto bakari
Ashita no imagoro ni wa
Watashi wa kitto naiteru
Anata wo omotteru n darou
You will always be inside my heart
Itsunio anata dake no basho ga aru loara
I hope that i have a place in your heart to
Now and forever you are still the one
Ima wa mada kanashii love song
Atarashii uta utaery made
You are always gonna be my love
Itsuka dareka to mata kou nu ochitemo I`ii remember to love
You taught me how
You are always gonna be the one
Mada kanashii love song
Now and Forever.
Although I cannot understand this song, I imagine music video for this music..
This is my idea of music video~~!!
There are two persons in the high school; the one is male teacher and another one is girl student.
Scene 1, the teacher meet her in the school, he try to avoid her, but she intend to cover his way.
Scene 2, Movie shows that girl face hardships in her study but no one care about her problem; one teacher come to her and then listen what her problem is.
Scene 3, the teacher gives her private tutor; girl student open her mind and start to love him.
Scene 4, she love him; she want to say her love to him, finally she decide to tell him that she loves him. Movie shows teacher, the teacher realize that he is treating her not student as a woman. He has agony for his feeling of her. One day she told him that she loves him so he starts to avoid her.
Scene 5, the teacher decides to marry with woman who is introduced by his mother to get rid of his emotion which is taboo in the society. Few months later, he transfers to other school. When he leaves his school, girl is watching him behind of tree.
I wrote this in COMM8 class~!!
AUF offer 4-year course of BA Mass Communication. The Mass COMM students learn various subjects to become media practitioners. In media, there are field of media however, AB Mass COMM. In AUF doesn’t offer any field of specialization for the students.
Each of Mass COMM students has different talents and interests. Maybe someone want to learn how to act , another student want to learn how to write, but in AUF Mass come students are suffering by no specialization because they lose their opportunities to develop their talent and it brings out less motivation to achieve academic performances.
Thus, students need to give efforts by themselves to develop their talents. If school provides way to have their specializations, students can have more capabilities to achieve better specialization.
Also after gradation, students will get hard time applying their job, because they don’t have specialization to apply their jobs; student have less capability to compete with other student who has specialization of the field of media.
Therefore, If school wants to give more opportunities to develop their talents and support their interests, school needs to serve opportunities to develop students’ specialization.

My friends~~!
right. My life is super successful; I have more than 7 good friends... I cannot distinguish who the best friend is. They are really precious in my life. If someone is missing in orchestra, they cannot make good sound; We are like orchestra, we are really different; we have different characteristics and we grew up in different environments however we have one thing common, that is friendship; we are trust each other under friendship. If our life is music, we play only few pharses of the music. We still have lots of rest part of it. Of course, during the play, we can make mistakes but in life, there is no practice, that is why we are more eager to struggle overcoming our hardships together. I really hope that until end of this music, we are together. Although we are busy to live in life, we must be aware that we are not alone; I am besied of you... I don't know how we change after 10 years. One thing, I am sure that is although I am 25 now, I am still same as before. I love you,guys....

Time waits for no one......
had a fun. This year, I expect same as last year but I am sure that this year is quite different
from last year. The reasom is that my grand mother is really sick; She has lung cancer now.
She is always kind to me.I used to stay her house, if I have a vacation; every time, when I visit her house, she gave and taught many things to me.. My childhood is full of memories with her. I can not really believe that she is alrealy 78 years old and I am 25 years old.. Time goes so fast.
I am not sure that she is alive until I reach Korea. If I meet her, I will tell her, "I love you so much." I haven't say this to my grand ma yet. I makse me feel sad........
My life~~!
but I know, I am cute.
My sister told me, "You are not kind."
but I love her.
My mother told me, "You are lazy."
but i do what I need to do.
Someone told me, "You cannot be successful, if you study in the Philippines."
but, I know, on one can be sure about future.
My life is still unpredictable
but I know who i am, where I am and what I want
My life is on going, no one can live my life insted of me.
It's my life.
Hum... I tried to make this poem funny....
However it is not funny.... hahah.. Anyway I have my own standard of life. Thus I always do something based on that. That is way, I can keep on doing something to achieve my goal although people say that that is not good or you can't do that.
I really know that no one can live my life....

My mother is my hero in life.
I’m sure that my mother is unlike others’ mother. My mother has open mind and she is pure; she is childlike. My sister is not used to hang with my mother but I really used to hang with my Mom. She is really funny; sometimes I think that she is still teenager. If I stay with her, I can’t recognize time goes. If I follow half of my mother’s step, I’m sure that I will be successful man in this world. I love my family so much. I never imagine my life without them. They are my energy to live. Especially my mom is the a pillar of my life. Therefore I need to study hard. No. I must study hard for my family and I. I want to be proud son and bother. That is my goal in my life.

I don’t want to have a dream any more.
Why do I have dream every night? Some Koreans believe that if the water is passed under the bed, people can be suffered by something; I think that I need to dig the floor of my room to detect the water line. Joke~~!!!
I want to sleep……OTL.... Koreans are used to use "OTL." These three letters to describe frustration, because when person feels frustration, he/she falls on the ground and touch ground using hands and knees. The letter O symbolizes head of the person; the letter T symbolizes body and hand of person; the letter L symbolizes leg of person. If you are confused with my explanations, please compare picture with letters OTL.

oh~! cheer up to have fantastic 2nd SEM.
The reason is my mind; last SEM my mind was so messy. I thought so many things about my future; also I had homesickness. My friends will graduate next year; even some of them will marry soon but in my case, I still need to go to school for more than year. I thought that I was quite late than my friends in terms of procedure of life. I felt like I was out of the world and not belonging to my generation.
In 1st SEM, I tried to find solution for that but I couldn’t find any solution; I thought about that problem over and over again. It made worse of my situation. However now, I accepted that I am quite late and I agreed to that there is nothing to be accelerated procedure of my life. For that reason, I will concentrate present; I will do I need to do now; that is study and be prepared for my future. For this I made some resolutions. (Actually I made resolution in last SEM.)
After this, I felt comfortable; I can concentrate my things. It made different feeling of the first day of 2nd SEM. I hope that I don’t lose my way again. I want to be proud son for my mother and show my success to my friends. I am studying in the Philippines. It is something different from my friends’ life. I don’t mean that I become rich something like that. I just want to show that I’ve got something from studying abroad.
