The Eighth Question

I totally forgot to post my questions and answers on the blog this week. It's already Friday. I worries nobody visits my blog and leaves comment. ㅜㅜ; If anybody drops by my blog, would you leave comment a little?

My question is
Do you like a coffee of tea or just water?
If you like a coffee or tea, what kind of it is your favorite?

I prefer a coffee. My favorite is a cappuccino. The foam on top of the cappuccino makes me feel happy. When looking at a bubbled cappuccino, I am likely to fall into a illusion which I walk in clouds. And because of foam, I can enjoy warm coffee longer. That's also my faovorite point in cappuccino.

The Seventh Question

The thousands of year ago, the ancient people of Babylon and Egypt studied the stars in the sky and created the zodiac. Later, many used the stars to describe a person’s character and to say what will happen in the future. Do you believe that? Most of the time, I don't believe it. But for fun, sometimes I checked it. My horoscope sign is Scorpio. The interesting thing is that I'm vengeful, courageous, tenacious, protective of itself, known for survival in the face of disaster as the sign says.

What's your horoscope sign? Do you agree that sign matches well with your character?

The Sixth Question

Do you have any favorite poem except Korean? Could you introduce it?

I like Shakespeare's Sonnet 18. It seems very old but when I lisened it,
the sound of recitation made me deep impression. Here it is.

Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day (Sonnet XVIII)

William Shakespeare

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Tough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st;
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

그대를 여름날에 비겨 볼까요?

그대가 더 사랑스럽고 온화합니다

거친 바람 귀여운 오월 꽃망울을 흔들고

여름철의 기간은 너무 짧습니다

하늘의 눈은 때로 너무 뜨겁게 빛나고

그 금빛 안색은 자주 흐려집니다

모든 아름다움에서 아름다움이 줄어들고

우연이나 자연의 변화로 그 치장 빼앗깁니다

그러나 그대의 영원한 여름은 시들지 않고

그대가 지닌 아름다움을 잃지 않을 것이며

죽음은 그대가 제 어둠 속을 헤맨다고 뻐기지 못할 것입니다

그대는 불멸의 시 속에서 시간과 어깨를 겨룰 터이니까요

사람이 숨쉴 수 있고 볼 수 있는 눈을 가진 한

이 시는 그때까지 살아 그대에게 생명을 줄 것입니다

The Fifth Question

What was your first impression about your roomate? What did he/she seem like? Do you believe first impression is important?

My answer is
My roommate seemed like cool, clam and collected at the first time I saw. But she is generous, kind and hasty person(?). I believe making a good impression at the first time is important somehow but I don't believe that first impression determine what I think the person is like.

The Fourth Question

In a line of Pushikin's poem, there is a saying "Even if life decieves you, be not sad nor angry..." It seems that he want to say positive thinking is important thing in life. I think our happiness depend on our own view of life. Do you have any special proverb or maxim you have kept in your mind? My fourth question is "What kind of view of life do you have?"

My answer is
"Seize the day." or "Do my best as I can do." I got this from the movie "Dead Poet's Socitey" and I totally agree with it. I try to keep that in my mind. I like to enjoy every moment when I can do something. If a chance occurs to me, I'd like to accept that willingly and do my best.

The Third Question

What do you want to do if you were another gender?

My answer is:
If I were a man, I would like to wear only pants in hot summer. I don't want to wear woman's various underwears. In hot season, wearing pants only is enough. Korean women should wear many clothes to hide(?) their naked body. I'm envy that man doesn't need to worry about showing their body in public.

The Second Question

Which movie or drama do you like the most? Would you introduce your favorites?

When I was in University, I liked the movies a lot and made a movie club with my friends. In movie club activity, we watched some of good movies a lot with skipping the classes. Those movies were not hollywood blockbusters but some masterpeices critics, directors, and movie pupils love. We loved to watch those that people didn't know well and were proud that we watched nobody choosed. Some movies were quite interesting and enjoyable. But most of them were too serous to understand and sometimes it was difficut to find what movie maker intended with that movie. Nowadays I perfer more lighter one to serious one.^^

My most favorite genre of movie is SF. I like the story related to the future life. I like to imagine the new world. Watching SF movies I can facillitate my imagination about future life. I recommend the movie " Blade runner" which was made in 1982. The film is about a hunter of "Reflicant"(human-like robots or anroids near future). This movie also show the future dark spectacles of earth and you can be surprised how well the director expressed. It's the old movie. However, I can still enjoy this movie a lot. It included many metapors about life we should think about. Also in the film all actors are doing good, all movie scenes are beautiful, and soundtracks are fantastic! If you still not watched that, I think you must watch it.

The First Question

Which country do you want to visit if you have any chance to visit foreign country for free? Why?


My answer is:
I'll go some part of Africa which has very different, exotic things I have never experienced. I think most of modern cities have similar scenery that is not so interested or that can be easily visited. In Africa, however, it has a beautiful nature, naive people, unique traditional culture, and so on. Travelling Africa is dangerous and uncommon. So, that's why I want to visit "Wild Africa."
