My way

I’m gonna make my own way. It ain’t that difficult with friends.

Since I took a rest for days, there’s a lot to catch up on. Like most people do, I made a list of resolutions for this year, and am struggling to be disciplined.
Among the bunch of emails that I always do care about, I got an email from one of the company that I was waiting for, you know, a kind of interview, and it said that there’s no room for me right now. I just a little disappointed but, still I have things to do here – no time for those of negatives.
I got a scratch on my fist from the gym yesterday. I think I was a little aroused since it was long time.
I always found hard to explain/describe Korean dishes. So I studied some.
Above all, Korean foods have lots of kinds of dishes that are fermented - like Kimchi and fermented soybean. To ferment is chemically break down a substance by bacteria, yeasts or other microorganisms.
As my German friends showed me the other day, they don’t like or even don’t have any experiences to viscous, sticky or gummy taste . I think that’s because they don’t have glutinous rice for those things.
I finally started to study today. There’s a tower of books that I haven’t read yet. It’s like a vestige of last year. So I decided to do the right thing – to read them all. Probably the time in the plane will be the best chance for me to do it. Among the list, I pick one – called EAE.
Enjoying TV comics!
Hey guys,
Among the resolutions for the new year – 2009, Watching more TVs!!!! is included, for God sake!
Since I live alone and apart from my family, there’s lots of time that I can manage or use and I decided to use it for learning English. Still, I want something fun, so I decided to focus on TV comics like Family guy and South park. Lovely.
As average Americans speak much faster than the recorded voice in the test in Korea, it’s very important to make myself adopt to the usual speed of speaking.
And most of the people say it’s worth to concentrate on expressions which is polite, but for living, I need to understand it even if it’s slang or something impolite.
Anyway, here goes the URLs.

Actually, The family guy
