"The Lover"

"THE LOVER" by Esther Leem

I've got this book from my friend in Korea last week. Actully the author is my friend, and she wrote 100 couples' love story with their pictures. She met 100 couples, had interviewed them, and took pictures of them. Last year I heard that she was preparing to write a book, but finally this January, her book came out of the world.

A month ago, I had a mail from her, and she said " I will send you the new book, but don't feel like screwed up even if there are so many swteet stories and pictures." She knew I'm a solo...

Anyway, when I got this book last week I was so happy just because I had my friend's book and even in Korean laguage. Also some of the couples were who I've already known. Not as like her expectation, I was not hurt, and I did not feel like screwed up. That might be because I feel that they and I live in kind of different world. It's funny but true. I feel like that. During the winter, when I met her in Korea , I was told that some of the couples were broken up so they asked erase their story which she couln't but she changed their name and put the picture without their faces. That's love story which is doing now by human.

Do you love somone? Then what do you think 'love' is..?

Soul Voice

This is one of the songs in soul voice concert held by purchase college Thursday Aril 9, 2009 in the Performing Art Center. I know the time's doubled with the viral marketing class which I'm taking now and shoud be in classroom. But in this semester, any jazz concert has been only on Thursdays, so I havn't been able to see any jazz performance so far. Anyway, with the reasons that I like the jazz, I'm interested in jazz on campus, and also one of my friends is singing there, I finally came to see the concert in shool.
How was it? It's was so great to me. The first intro of accapella group, 'Choral Plasure' was impressive becuase I've been crazy about accapella so, I was looking to join a group if Purchase has it. The harmony made of only human's voice was always my favorit genre.
In Soul Voice ,they had each solo in every songs, and some of the soilist were amazing. I couldn't belive how the human made that voice! They were very impressive.
They are now an amateur but I expect someday they will be grown great performer.

Before the story...

The travel makes always me thrilling, exitied, and humble. That is becuase tasting other culture is adventure, simultaneously that makes me learn how I see the other cultures with open mind.

Sometimes I met very dangerous people, I had got accident and hurt phisically with some activities, and I had slept in the open area accidently. However, these experieance is very very very valuable to me.
I generally met really good people, and they could be local people or the other travelers like me. The travlers were usually trying to have an effort to be close to other cultures. And we met at any place, we share how we are feeling there thru the traveling, and we are friend. This one is also important memory as well.

The traveling by myself has made me independent and it gave me the really important time to think about how I live which is more importatn what I live doing.

The story which is going to unpact is my personal story, and also I will post tome tips for future travler. This was my live lesson, and school for my life.

The catcher in the Rye

The catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger



I like holden's cynical thought and speach which salinger reflected himself. Sometimes that is too cynical so I felt it's even stupid. Also, when I feel like that, the author Salinger is really awesome to me.



holden's dream which is the catcher in the rye to care children not to fall down on valley, may be the wanderer that adapted those reality or responded those reality.
