Oh~~!! Korea~~!
Oh~! Only 9 days are left until Dec. 14. Just nine days later, I will be in Korea with my family. However, there are hindrances that I need to take my preliminary exam and I need to finish my two projects in RTV. That is why, for two weeks, I am busy to take my exams. I think, although those are not really easy, I can make it, because I want to take a rest in a peace. OH~!! My God. I really miss Korea now.

hu~!!
Nowadays, I try to be aware of my pronunciation. When, I practice speaking, I can find what my faults are. However when I talk with other people, I commit many mistakes.
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?
November 29, 2007 , Antonio Trillanes IV, Brigadier General Danilo D. Lim, and 25 other Magdalo officers walked out during their trial and they seized the Manila Peninsula Hotel , Makati City. They were joined by former vice-president Teofisto Guingona Jr., who called the gathering "New Edsa". They were also joined by other military personnel and civilians carrying M-16 or M-14 rifles.
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
with John~~!!
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
Nowadays, many new wards are created in Koran; there are related with unemployment. For example, NG(No Graduation) student who postpone graduation till he/she gets a job, and “Li-GU-Back” which means 90 percent of people who are belonging to age between 20 to 30 don’t have a job. These new words explain well about the situation of employment of Korea. If a person want to get better job, he/she needs to beat almost 300 people, meaning to say, if a company wants to hire 30 employees, 9000 people apply to get a job. In this situation, if a person gets a job, people think that he is the winner of surviving game in the society. Based on the research of Korea government, 40% of people who are belonging to age between 20 to 30 don’t have Job. This phenomenon was begun since 1994. Unemployment in Korea is already one of the biggest threats of development of Korea.
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
Today, I searched about employment of Korea for writing editorial for my class. I chose this topic because I knew that employment is really serious problem in Korea nowadays so I thought that there are many things to talk about it; my expectation is right.
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.
