Generally, the picture I posted above seems peaceful. By looking at this, I can see that the place of this picture is a park. Since there are some people at the park, it would be Sunday afternoon when everyone spends free time. On the right side, there are one gentleman and one lady who seemed like a married couple. The lady is holding a small black parasol to protect her from the sunshine. It would be probably sunny outside there. On her left hand, she is holding one pink dog and one brown cat which are playing each other. A big flower is attached at her hat and she has a wide-hip. Right next to her, her husband is standing; they both are looking at something. They might come to a park to take a walk on Sunday afternoon there. On the left side of the picture, there is one man who seems like a labor since he is having a cigarette on his hand and he is lying down with his frowned face. He is taking some rest after work. Next to him, a lady with such a big hat is knitting without saying. The man and the lady don’t know each other. Behind them, a black dog which would be probably hungry is looking for food. On her right side, a gentleman with a hat and walking stick is sitting down and enjoying his afternoon. He looks lonely since he doesn’t have anyone to talk with him. Behind them, there are two ladies who seem like mom and daughter. While they are sitting, a mother is holding a small blue parasol and her daughter is looking at flowers that she picked up. A daughter looks really quite and womanly. Right in front of them, another mother and daughter are walking by them. The mother is holding a red parasol and her kid which put on all white dress and hat is hold her hand when she is walking. On the left back side, there is a group whose members are two women and one kid. One woman is about to hug a kid who might be her daughter. Near them, there is one kid who wears pink dress running around. I can say her as another woman’s child. In the picture, there are some trees and a lake. On the lake, few boats are floating and five people are riding a canoe-looking boat. Back there, two couples are walking. The appearance of one couple from behind is kind of old. A lady is kissing his husband. Another couple’s appearance from behind is walking in peace. Near the lake, there are few people who are looking at the view of lake. Almost ladies in the picture are holding the small parasols since it is sunny afternoon. Also they put on their hats and women wear dresses or long skirts. When I look at this picture, I feel tranquil and serene and it is peaceful Sunday afternoon when people can take some rest.

My most embarrassing moment
My most embarrassing moment is not that far from my recent memory. Because it just took place few months ago or maybe one month ago. I went to Korea for this summer and stayed since May. My school Northern Marianas Academy which became my old school always has the longest period of vacation among all the private high schools. Since it is related to Northern Marianas College, the agenda of NMA follows NMC’s all the time. I was planning to get my student visa from NMC since NMA is not certificated as a high school which can issue student visa for international students. A student who goes to NMA can take college classes for 2 years, Junior and senior years. However, as my teacher recommended take college classes since my second semester of sophomore year, I was taking classes in NMC. Before I went back to Korea for this summer, I tried to prepare for my student visa from NMC on May. Even though prepared all the documents that are required for my visa to be issued, NMC said they cannot issue a student visa for me since I am a high school student. So I went back to my high school teacher and what he said was they are just misunderstanding and just tell me just leave. He promised me that he would make sure that NMC would issue visa and send it to me when I am in Korea. So I just left with his conviction. I kept sending e-mail to him and calling him to be informed new things, but he kept saying Just wait and patient. Since he is a teacher and has responsibility for my visa, I just have no choice but to believe and wait for his replies. Miserably, he informed me that I could not get visa from NMC and enter to Saipan just one week ago before I am planning to leave.
I had no idea what to do next. I just had one week left and what he said was that I cannot go back to Saipan since I do not have a student visa. As a result, I needed to transfer to another school which is already started 2 weeks ago. The very next day, he called me again and said that just come to Saipan as a tourist and go to Immigration office to figure out. I had no choice but to follow what he said. My parents were very angry and mad but the only thing that we can do is just go to Saipan and solve the problems. After my flight, I waited for a line of tourists. The immigration lady was a Korean and she started to yell at me when she knew that I have no visa and I am a student. I just started crying since she kept yelling at me and was falsely charged. I did nothing wrong and it was not my fault. She brought me to American guy and he let me enter as a tourist for 45 days. I kept crying and went to school to figure out my situation. Even though I did every possible option to figure out my situation for 2 weeks, nothing was changed but I just wasted my time and money. I think that I just cried every day and was mortified at being mistreated. Although I met the president of NMC, the result was miserable and right now I am doing my assignment at Saipan international School. I just enjoy my school life today and love being here. Just one month ago, it was my most embarrassing moment that I could not forget.

Stream of Consciousness II
Again. Wow again. My teacher said that I am writing third words. HAHA. Oh my god. Joon is so fast at writing. Evert is sitting there. He just came to school today because there are no classes at NMA today. If I were at NMA, I might be at home and do hula-hoop. Rafi just came next to me and said hey to me. My teacher asked me to erase his name. HAHA. So funny. Evert seems like that he wants to do something. Everyone is working something so they do not care about him. It could be random. But it is my style of writing. Min chang is drinking water and hitting Evert. HAHA. So funny. I am really full right now because we had bake sale today. I bought a lot of food today. I had Curry and rice. But I miss my mom’s curry. Her curry is better and the best ever. I love her food and her. Later I bought ice tea for Seri. She bought barbeque stick and dumpling. After that, I saw Yuri. She bought exactly the same thing as Seri did. It was so funny. I laughed so hard. Since they are sisters I mean cousins, they bought the same things. Maybe. Yuri is so cute. When I was young, I used to wish I had a younger brother or a younger sister. But right now, I am just happy that I have my older brother who is really nice and kind to me. Since we are very close, I just love him and we are just perfect match. Evert just left. I used to see him at NMA before but not these days. When he first came to NMC, I saw him that he was eating his lunch outside alone. I wanted to chat with him and eat lunch with him but I was already done with my lunch. Right now, I do not care about him since I knew that he made a lot of friends there. It is good for him. I kind of like Saipan International School. It is just really like real School. NMA was kind of different from what I expected to be. Since I had a great time at school in Korea, I expected NMA to be really nice and just as big as School in Korea. But it wasn’t. It is just a house. REALLY. I was disappointed with that. But it is okay and I kind of understand. Even though it costs almost same as Saipan International School, the facilities are totally different. Joon just moved to another seat. I do not know why. Maybe he wanted to sit behind Christine. HAHAHA. I am going to go to Christine’s restaurant today. The café Judy’s is grand opening. But it is self-paying. So it is hard to say that I am invited from her. HAHAHA. But I am excited. Every girls in juniors are planning to go there. I have no idea about their menu but I hope it would be great. Joon just showed off how many words he wrote. I do not care. Definitely. Literally. My teacher is speaking some funny words to Joon. I like my teacher. He looks serious all the time but sometimes makes jokes which seem not a joke. I am so full now. After my curry and rice, I just had a donut which includes high calories. HAHA. Whatever. I am just worried about gaining weight. It would be okay. REALLY? After school I am planning to go to Seri’s house. Since the dinner appointment is held at 7 o’clock, I need to do something before 7. What a crap. Today is Friday. I remembered that I was kind of annoying about Monday which was just few days ago. But it’s already Friday today. Time goes so fast. I feel that every time. Next week it is my time to go back to Korea so I can get my visa. I made an appointment with U.S. embassy. I am kind of nervous about my interview. I mean not the questions. I am just totally fine with my interview to chat and have fun there. However I am just worried that I am a tourist now and went to school for one month. I know it is no illegal but just worried. I do not know why. HAHAHA. Whatever. I can make through it. I just got perfect score for my essay. I think my teacher gave that grade to almost everyone. He is nice. I will just try to do well on my essay since I like to write. I also like to sing. After dinner, I wish I could go to Karaoke. Yeah Maybe I will spend much money today. HAHA. Min chang and Jin han are arguing about the number of words Jin han wrote. It is so funny. Jin han just saw my screen and was surprised at the number of words I wrote. But it is just 831 words. But it is better than the day before yesterday. Soo ho is laughing. Yesterday was Soo Ho’s birthday. Yeah. No one cares. But I care. Hahahaha. We were from NMA. My classmates. He is laughing again. I gave him present this morning in class. I gave him an answer for one question. He is kind. HAHAHA. Emily is so fast at writing. I do not know what kind of stuff she is writing about but I am just sure that she would be the first one to finish it. Seri is sitting in front of me. And the air conditioner is working. I think I need to go to NMA today to pick up my stuff that my brother asked me to. But I just hope that my old teacher not to say that he is not ready. Chris is looking at someone. He is looking at air conditioner. Maybe He is writing about the air conditioner. HAHAHA. I can just guess what a person is writing about just by looking his’ eyes. I wish Soo Ho would have a birthday party. Last time when we had a birthday party, it was Min chang’s. It was my first time to see them since I came back from Korea. But now I am just taking classes with them. What a weird situation. Chris is talking to Jin han. Se youl is laughing too. He made his hair curled and it is so funny. I am sorry but no offense. It is true. I could not stop laughing when I saw his new hair style. Maybe It was just the same situation as Justin did. Emily is trying to look at something. She is writing about classmates or some stuff which is inside the classroom. Chris is look at Jin han. He is maybe writihgk nsldk jflksjlfjsd ;kjflksjld OH MY GOD. That is just intentionally type errors. Since Chris was watching at me and typing so fast, I just wanted him to see how fast I am writing. HAHAHA. Oh I can feel that I ate donuts today. It was chocolate donuts. I usually do not like donuts. I hate them. But today It just looked perfect. Chocolate was melting and perfectly matching with donuts. There were almost Korean ladies on baking sale. They were selling food and I bet they made or bought them since pizza that they ordered is from the restaurant which is owned by Koreans. Dan usually order pizza from there. Honestly, I just hate their pizza. It is not yummy. So yuck. Looks like that they are using fake cheese. I feel sorry for them but it is true. It is not only me who can feel that but also Dong Hyun does. I will just say that Dong Hyun is Mike. He is Mike. Anyway He is just having a hard time with school problems. I do not feel bad for him. Since he was so mean to me. Oh my god. Chris just said that I am mean. I was not mean to him but mean to Jin han. Because Chris told a lie. He said that Jin han is hot and handsome. I totally rejected it. I know I am kind of mean but It is absolutely true. Oh yeah I just remembered that I had sushi as well today. I just wondered what food would be my dinner today. Dan and Phyllis knew that I am going to eat out for dinner. Should they make and eat pasta or spaghetti? I just hate spaghetti. I do not know why. I can just try and grab a bite of cream pasta. BUT NEVER TOMATO SPAGHETTI. I am just totally pure Korean since I love Korean food and not the greasy things such as pizza and spaghetti. Phyllis just loves spaghetti. In fact, I was so surprised that Phyllis loves to eat tomato barley. I think it is just gross. I feel sorry and bad for her BUT IT DOES LOOK LIKE GROSS. She put all the vegetables such as carrots, parsley, onions and garlic, barley and tomatoes. And she cooks it for few hours. Maybe all day. So when she cooks it, inside our house, the smell of tomatoes and tomato sauce are just horrible. I have to smell the tomato sauces all day. Joon just finished his writing and oh yeah. Just long time ago. That is what he insisted. He is doing stretching. I know. He has to do stretching since he wrote so fast. Min chang said that he is so funny. I do not agree. I do not think so. He is just funny looking guy. Soo ho who was birthday party guy yesterday wore nice green shirt which was birthday present from his mother. OH he said no. maybe from his father. Joon is interrupting us. He is just bothering us. JOON SHUT UP.I KNOW. WHY JOON HAS DETENTION. HAHAHA. JUST SHUT UP. BE QUEIT. PLEASE BE QUEIT. JOON COULD YOU PLEASE SHUT YOUR MOUSE UP? My father took me into the city to see a marching band. It is just the part of song named the black paradise. My friend recommended me listen this song. Emily is talking. She is hot. I think. AHAHAHAHA whatever. Facebook is just changed. I do not know why but it looks kind of messy though. I just like the way before it did. I did not do facebook before but I just started it. Abby is looking at me and laughing because I said some funny words. Oh yeah. Let’s go back to the story about facebook. I do not want to make an ID for facebook. However since I went to academy in Korea and everyone there has facebook ID. Since they are studying at whole different countries and cities, I need to make facebook ID to keep contact with them. Oh my god. It is time to go home. Oh yeah. May be at Seri’s house. Serious black. Oh I want to watch Harry Potter. I have to call my driver. When is the party? My teacher just said that I am going to get high scores for AP essay. HAHAHA. So happy. He likes my writing. Maybe the style or neat hand writing. Bye I gotta go. Hi again. I just came back from dinner at Christine’s house. I thought I just did many things after school. After school, I stopped by NMA to pick up something. As I mentioned above, Mr.Kodep did not make an appointment. He just broke it again. I do not expect him to be ready for the deadline. He is always late and lazy. Late work. I am just tired of his laziness and postponement. But I am just getting out of NMA so I DO NOT CARE. When I arrived at home, I said to Dan Hi. He said How are you Ashley? And I was like Very GOOD! He went like What a pretty girl. HAHAHA. I was just good. When I entered to my room, It was just clean and it keeps clean now since the maid cleaned up my room today. Actually my room is not that messy but I just like this feeling. Also I just noticed that little horse toy which was on my bed. It was green and I have no idea what it is. It looks like a horse and kind of.. Yeah It is horse. But a girl horse because it has flower patterns on her body and two big nostrils. I just grabbed it and it smelled like something new. I just brought it to Dan and asked him what it is. He just laughed and said that he just bought it since he thought I would like it. He was with Richard at that time and Richard said Dan Are you crazy? Dan laughed and I laughed. I have no idea why he bought this for me and what made him think that I might like it. HAHA.. It is kind of weird. But I just like the fact that he thought of me at that time and bought that for me. No doubt that, he just brought it from anywhere else like somebody gave it to him or not. Whatever. I do not care. I just like it except the smell of it. I just laughed and said thank you to him. I just took m&m chocolate cookies since Seri really wanted them from this morning. The driver took me to her house and I gave it to her. There were her aunt, uncle and Yuri and her younger brother. Her younger brother really like me. He said I am really pretty. HAHAHA. Whatever. Even though he is just a little boy, I thanked to me and I thought that he know how to look for girls. HAHAHA. Joking. Yeah I am just kidding. He kept saying something to me about robots and the animation. I just do not know well about robots and how to treat a little one. Since I do not have any younger brothers or sisters, I am not familiar with them. But I just like Yuri. She is so nice and cute. I think maybe my thinking would be changed if I have a real one. Since I stay with her, she might bother me and I would get tired of her. Maybe. I am not sure. Seri just showed me her neighbors’ kitties. I hate no I am just afraid of cats and kitties. Amy is supposed to pick her kitty up but I decided to go to Christine’s house to study and do homework. She just wants us to teach her math. So we called her and went to school to pick up some stuff for Christine. Christine was in the car. She can drive! But I heard that she had a car accident last semester with Abby and Emily. HAHA Whatever. So I just felt kind of worried but it was not that far to drive from school to her café. Her mother and father own that restaurant and Judy’s which is the name of their restaurant is grand opening today. I said hi to her parents and aunt. I went upstairs where she stays. It was just nice. What a nice house! Since they owned the furniture store, the interior and the furniture are so pretty. It is so opened that I could feel the air and free. Since I stayed with American Family, the way of living is kind of different from Korean’s. I just felt that I came to house in Korea. Oh yeah. Usually apartment. We did thinkwell and we helped Christine. But she was just good at math. After that, we watched Korean movie named Sunny. I watched it for three times. HAHA. Whatever. It is just great movie so that almost everyone likes it and watches more than one time. When we were watching, our friends came so we stopped it. It was time to eat. Since it was self-paying, I ordered Hamburger steak. It was so good. I was not that hungry since we had ice-shaving when we went to Judy’s. Amy ordered Donkatsu which is pork cutlet. It is my favorite but I did not order it since I had that few days ago. There food were good. But the thing is that they just opened so it was not organized well. Everything such as the order of serving food and menu. But I understand it since it just opened today. When I was eating, I saw Yuri and her friends. Maybe they just came to have dinner. HAHA. I was really full so that I could not have desserts. Afterward, Seri’s aunt dropped me off. When I entered to my room, I smelled my pony again. HAHA. SO BAD. I just turned the air conditioner on and ventilated a room by opening the door. After I sprayed my room. I really feel like going to Karaoke today but I didn’t. It is time to studyyy. HAHA. And I am doing my homework which is writing this now. I just talked to my mom and since she was outside, she sounded like that she is hard to speak out. So I just hung up. Wow. I wrote up till 2885 words. HAHA so proud of myself. So in my room, the hippo doll which my host mom bought for me and the pony toy which my host dad bought for me are looking at me. So weird. Tomorrow is Saturday. Soo ho is planning to have his birthday party tomorrow. I need to wake up early in the morning so that I could join the class with Phyllis and go to morning market tomorrow. I just hoped that I could wake up in the morning and get ready. I will try. I have to. I need to change my polo shirt size and color for my mom and dad. Wow 2999 words. HAHA FINALLY.. BYE!!!!!!

Oh my god. I am thinking. Mr.Lee is speaking. I don’t know what to write. Mr. Tessen came and I pretty like him. He is a great teacher. Since I met him at the first time, I like him. Abel is so funny. Today is Wednesday. Time is going so fast. Joon is talking. I did this thing before when I was in NMA. Everyone is typing. I am not hungry. But I want food. I don’t know why. I like food. What’s dinner today? I miss Korean food. Staying in American house is hard. I miss my family. I want to go to Korea. I read the articles about the temperature in Korea. Mr.Lee is talking about air conditioner with Celine. What’s today’s homework? Is it raining outside? I love rainy days. I love being at home when it is raining. Seri is looking at me. What do you want for me? Seri I want to go to your house today. But I feel sorry for your aunt. Able is so noisy that I cannot concentrate. Joon is talking. So noisy. Annoying. Amy forgot to bring moon cakes. So I am mad. I want them. But she kept forgetting. Chris is talking to me. Abel tried to kick my chair. He failed. Hahaha. Its raining so hard outside. Stop raining! Oh no, I hope it would keep raining so that I cannot do PE tomorrow. haha Joon is mumbling. Mr.Lee stopped his mumbling. It’s already September. And I will go to Korea on October 1st. It is kind of interesting. I love that. I love to go to Korea. However, It is just for 10 days. Too short. I need some more break. I think I can not go to Korea this winter because I will go there 2 weeks later. When I go to Korea, I will eat a lot of food. I miss Korean food and my mom’s food so badly. I will have sushi, sashimi, meat, pork belly, kimchi and oh just everything. I just love it. Oh my god. It’s already 345 words. I need glasses. It’s in my bag. But my bag is not close to me right now. I feel so lazy that I cannot reach to my seats. Oh so hot. When is the air conditioner working? After school, what should I do? Should I follow Phyllis’s class? Or homework? What do we have for homework? Thinkwell, Chemistry test or quiz. I think I can finish thinkwell but I am not sure about chemistry. I think that’s all for my homework. So hot. I kept saying it’s so hot. My laptop is dying. It is out of battery. I want to watch super star K 3. It is so interesting and makes me nervous. I like to sing and listen to music. I think there are a lot of people who can sing very well. Even when I watch super star K 3, I feel kind of jealous since they are so good at singing. I like rap. So I like T who is my favorite singer and rapper. She is such a charming girl. What’s dinner today? I think if I follow Phyllis’s class, I have to eat dinner later maybe around 7 o’clock? 8 o’clock? Oh yeah, it’s power walking today. Charger is not working. Because there is no electricity. But Amy tried to plug in. Chris and Celine tried to prevent her from plugging in. But failed. Hahaha whatever. I am at sis right now. Acutally I kind of feel weird. Because since my freshman year, I used to go to NMA every morning. Here, almost everything is different and I feel like I am just sitting and just came to school to play. But it’s not true. Dan was upset yesterday. I will call my mom and I kind of feel weird. Because I realized that he was alcoholic and drinking a lot of beers. I thought he would never be drunk or something. However, Zered said that he was kind of mad and what’s more he was drunk yesterday. He was absolutely mad at Mike yesterday. I cannot understand him. He talked behind and when Mike came home, he said Hi Mike, How are you? It makes me surprised. And I feel so scared. I think he maybe or might talk behind me and just pretend he did nothing. I am worried. But I do not care. He is just my room owner. Whatever he talks, it comes to me as a lie. I cannot trust him. Even Phyllis. But she is better. Much better. I like here. Yesterday after Min chang dropped me off, I kind of felt scared since Phyllis was sitting without saying. But she bought pork cutlet for me. That’s what I had for my lunch. Actually there are so much fats so I don’t really like them. I think when I go to Korea, I will go to New Delhi curry house and eat my favorite food curry pork cutlet. I just wonder how their interiors are changed. I miss my house. Oh yeah. Today is exactly one month passed since I came back from Korea this summer. It was August 21st. And today is September 21. I cried a lot. I think I really cried a lot this time. I don’t know why. But since I was in Korea for 3 months, I just adapted to life of Korea. It was so hard to say good-bye to my mom and brother. Even that day was my father’s test day so I missed him a lot. But I m going 2 weeks later! I am charging my laptop. I don’t want my laptop to be unplugged. However, since I use laptop at school, I have to care about it. I don’t know how to write more. Abel is talking. He kicked my seat again. Amy is done with her 2400 writing. That is amazing. I am still in 1000 words. Oh yeah. Finally I am over 1,000 words. Hahaha. I think amy is typing so fast. I envy her hahah. But I bet if I type in Korean, I am pretty sure that I can beat almost everyone. I love dealing with computers. That makes me proud of myself. Is Seri having a volleyball practice today? If she is not, I wish I would go to Seri’s house or she would come to my house so we can study together. So tired. I am sick of typing. Hahah. I think today’s dinner is KFC or something bought from outside. I don’t know. Dan is kind of good at cooking. But he talks too much. Talkative. And he is narrow-minded. He remembers everything. It is so scary. After our conversation yesterday, Dan greeted me well this morning. What he said was he would give me extra money if I need. It is kind of funny. When I say something which is on his side, He loves it and accepts it. He is kind of baby. I think even I am funny since I am typing about him. But the most impressive person these days is DAN. Mr. DAN. But I think a lot after my conversation. I just like my father. I have no idea why I say about it. But I just love my dad. He is enjoying his sports a lot. I like him being busy. He needs not only some rest but also he needs sports or activities. Kind of social things. But I love my dad the most. Even my mother. I think my mother is so pretty. It’s just not because she is my mother. Just personally, she is pretty. I miss my brother too. I want to find a cute hoodie for him but no idea. I don’t know what he decided to do. Nevermind. I am really tired of typing. Rafi is just finished. HAHAHA. I have no idea when I am going to finish this. I miss so yeong. When I stayed with her, I kind of feel annoying. But I understand. That means we are that close. I think she is my real best friend. I am not sure about Yu Kyung. Hahahah. I don’t know why I am thinking of it. It is already 2 35. It is so hot inside here. I feel so bad for air conditioner. I miss my friends. I don’t know what to write about. So hot. So hot. I think Crystal is pretty. I cannot believe that she is my own age. I love writing but typing is kind of pissing me off. Hahaha. Sorry, typing. Hahaha. I am writing almost up to 2 pages. Haha. Feel so proud of myself even though I wrote down useless stuff. No it is not useless. It is just stream of consciousness as I learned today. Hot summer. I think I am ugly and nobody wants to love me just like her I wanna be pretty I wanna be pretty don’t lie to my face telling me I m pretty. This is 2NE1’s song. I love 2NE1. Especially Park Bom. She has so pretty voice. Attractive. Also her personality is good. I don’t know her in personal but I am pretty sure that she is kind and funny since I watched the real TV show. Joon is laughing so hard. I don’t know why. Because 1565. Joon is walking around. Abel I don’t know what to write about/ He is funny looking. Hahahahaha. Sorry. Min chang took out his hoodie. He is masculine. My type. He just said everything. Hahaha. So funny. Seri Seri oh seri. I am singing. I love singing. I love eating. I love sleeping. I love hola hooping. I am not hungry. I just want to brush my teeth. Does it sound awkward? I cannot stop writing. I just kept writing. Oh my god. What should I do? I think it’s not raining anymore. Abel kicked my seat again. So hot. Oh my god. Only one minute left. I think some who finished their writing is great. I think I am just slow. I should boost my speed of typing. Hot summer hot hot summer. Hot summer hot hot so hot. Wonder girls. I wish Wonder girls would come back and release new songs. I like f(x). They are good at singing. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA AHA OH MY GOD. Who can finish this in 20 minutes? That doesn’t make sense. Joon is laughing so hard again. I don’t know why. It is time to go. But I did not finish it. What should I do? Do I have to go home and keep writing about this? It looks or sounds like silly or stupid. No offense. I wish I had I-phone or I-pod. I want smart phones. But I did a wrong choice this January. I bought new phone this January. I don’t know why I said I need phone on Saipan. That is why I bought new phone this January. But I do not use it! so piss me off! Emily and Celine are leaving. Oh I wish I would leave. Everyone is leaving. Bye. I gotta go home. Finally I came home. I arrived at home! Yeah, it is my home. Right after I came inside my room, what I did first is not taking off my clothes. It is opening my laptop and turning it on. And then, I kept writing. I will change my clothes and drink water and wash my hands just right after I type everything. So please give me the power to finish my writing. Hahaha. It keeps raining. When I get into a car, I feel kind of annoying since the air conditioner is broken. At school, air conditioner was not working and inside the car, the air conditioner is not working. That is weird. I want my driver to fix the air conditioner. However, Dan said no. It is so stupid. I think he doesn’t want him to fix it since it costs a lot and he does not want to pay for it. He never drives and gets into that car. If he picks me up or drop me off with that car, He will definitely fix the car as soon as possible he could. That sounds so mean. But it is true. I cannot imagine that I have to get into a car which is without air conditioner. It sucks. Absolutely. Here, on Saipan, the air conditioner is the most important requirement. It is just the same as when I can only turn the air conditioner on for an hour when I stayed with Villegas house. At least they had air conditioner inside their car. Whatever. If I keep saying it and thinking about it, It is just pissing me off. I like Mrs. Jang. She is kind and nice. And since I am interested in learning Chinese, I just like that class. I feel like that I am gaining weight. Some part. Yeah of course I am gaining weight. Because I am staying with American Family and what I eat everyday are high calories. So hot. But getting better since I turned my air conditioner on in my room. After I finish my writing, I will change my clothes and drink water. And then I will wash my hands and call my mom. I need to talk to her something about yesterday and today. Everything seems okay to me. I am just not sure whether I am going to go to academy or not. HAHAHA. I know that I need my SAT scores and need to study for high scores. I will. But it is hard. Oh my god. It is almost going up to 2400 words which are my goals. Right now, I wrote 2308 words. When I did this kind of writing at NMA, I just did it for 20 minutes so teacher could see how long I wrote 20 minutes. Dan was on the phone when I came home. It is kind of interesting when he is on the phone. Because he is always gossiping about something. Oh yeah. I can see my finish line. So happy. As all things I wrote considered, I wrote about that I miss people and food. Hahahal It is kind of funny. Oh yeah. About Dan as well. And this is my last sentence ! haha Bye :)

The most influential person in my life
If I could pick someone who are influential to me in my life, it would Rain who is an internationally known singer now. His real name is Jeong Ji-Hoon. Even though he is a singer, he gave me a strong impression since I was young. When I was a little kid, I like to listen to music and sing a song. Since my brother loves to sing and is three years older than me, he knows lots of songs and makes me interested in music.
In 2004, I still remember the moment when Rain won the first prize on the annual grand prize awarded to the best singer with songs. I was in 4th grade at that time and just like him as a singer. When he received that prize, he cried and said few words about it. When he mentioned his mother, I was watching that award ceremony with my family. He kept crying and said that he promised to his mother who passed away three years ago that he would be the best Korean singer. He fulfilled his promise and devoted his prize to his mother. While my family was watching, my mother kept crying as well. She got such a great impression on him and felt bad about it.
After the award ceremony, the public started to focus on Rain. They are more interested in him and identified his background and the steps that he experienced to become a singer. When I realized his background, I felt bad for him. Since Rain was young, he was really talented in dance and music but not in study. When he was turning 18, he not only went to An-Yang art high school but also his mother passed away because of diabetes since they don’t have money and suffered from poverty. Even though he experienced frustrations when he failed more than 12 auditions to be a singer, he never gave up and overcame it. Finally he became a trainee at JYP entertainment whose owner is Jin-Young Park.

Three types of people I love most
There is a wide array of types of people all over the world. I am one of those and people have their own characteristics. Their personalities are not the same since their ways of thinking and background are different. It is kind of interesting that even though there are different types of people in the world, people meet, date, and live together until they die. If a man and a woman fall in love, they get married since they love each other. The standard of loving something or someone is not the same to an individual. The three types of people I love most are someone who is sincere, someone who has desires or ambition to success and someone who knows who I am.
The first type of people I love most is someone who has sincerity. I need and want someone who can be trusted and believed by me. Since I hate people who are lying and not telling the truth, sincerity is such a pivotal factor to make a relationship. My mother and father often said that the most significant key to get to know someone is trust each other. And they want me to be a person who can be trusted by people around me and treat me truly. In my opinion, honest people are loved and esteemed by almost everyone since the rudimentary requirement for understanding and relationship is sincerity.
The second type of people I love most is someone who has desires or ambition to success. For me, this goes to especially men. People should have their own goals to achieve so that they can make an attempt to climb the ladder of success. I do not like people who are incapable of thinking about tomorrow. People look different depending on their pursuit of their own desires. For instance, through my own experience, the grades of students are all based on what their goals are. People who are seeking for their futures are always hard working and truthful. As the saying goes, Birds of a feather flock together which indicates that people with similar interests will stick together. I love someone who has ambitions so I could share and talk about our future brightly. We can help out and count on each other.
The third type of people I love most is someone who knows who I am. It is crystal clear that people who know me know me. However, I need and want someone who really knows who I am. I am social and lively but in other ways, I don’t really show what’s on my mind. When I trust someone and spend some more time, I begin to show and tell what’s my real opinion and inside. So I just want them to know my true values. It is a matter of course that a person likes someone who is interested in him or her. As my family and my friends love and care about me, I also love them and care about them. It is kind of reciprocal action since they take care of each other and thinks of them each other wherever they go to good place or whenever they eat something delicious. When I go to ocean on Saipan, I wish I would be here with my family and friends. This just indicates that I am thinking much of them and valuable.
Someone who is sincere, has desires to success and knows who I am is what I love most among people. Since I have some of them who are just the same as I mentioned, it makes me happy and satisfied.

My ideal spouse
My ideal spouse is a man who takes care of me all the time and loves me forever. Since I easily become friendly and close to boys, I am not interested in making a boyfriend and going out date. I just like boys’ collaboration unlike girls who gossip and talk scandal. I just like my ideal spouse to be my best friend. I don’t mean that I consider him as totally a boy friend, but someone who has the same interests as I do so we could enjoy together.
I don’t want my ideal spouse to be perfect and very handsome. He should have charisma and be masculine. I prefer a man who is dignified and not flippant. I like someone who is attractive and manly but sometimes cute. Because he has to be taller than me, I want him to be at least 180cm. Also he shouldn’t be too skinny and fatty. My spouse has to be good at sports which imply teamwork, cooperation and health and to be strong enough to carry heavy things since I am lack of power of using hands.
The most important thing is that he needs to esteem the elders and show respect to my parents. In my opinion, personality is such a pivotal factor when someone looks for a spouse. He has to be well-mannered and observe the decorum. My parents, especially my mother, consider courtesy as a rudimentary notion. Also before I get married with my boyfriend, I would look at his parents and his family background. I learned from my psychology teacher that it is the first thing to look. When you see how his father treats his mother and their family, you can assume how your house would run. With such a nice manner, I want him to be a person who has a sense of humor and makes some jokes. Therefore, when I feel sad or mad, he just relieves my feeling better.
Moreover, he should have such a great voice since I like someone who can sing well. I don’t require such a professional singing and techniques such as vibration. Voice of my husband should be manly and sweet. Also I wish he would be organized and clean so he could not be lazy and sluggish.
Since this is just thinking about my ideal spouse, it seems too hard to find one who is just same as what I mentioned above. However, I will just keep the faith and try hard to accomplish my goals. After then, I believe my ideal spouse is waiting for me right there.
What is beauty?
Do you think that a flower in your garden is beautiful? Do you think that a bird flying in the blue sky is beautiful? Some might say yes, whereas some might say no. The standard of beauty is determined by an individual. Based on that concept, beauty is everything that is existed around us. There are some ways to feel or see beauty. We can be attracted by something in physical or emotional ways. Some people tend to believe that person who is good-looking, pretty and handsome is considered as a beautiful one. On the other hand, someone who is interested in nature can say that the bright sunshine is beautiful. As observed here, the beauty depends on different points of views from people. The standpoint of the former is appearance and the latter focuses on nature which attracts him.
Moreover, it is easily found in our daily lives that the standard of beauty is different between men and women. For example, when I was in 8th grade at school, there was a survey of which women is prettier. All the boy and girls in my classroom participated in the survey and the results were similar as I expected. It is lucid that both women are pretty, however, according to a survey, the choices of boys and girls were contrary to each other. As seen here, the standards of beauty is different one another.
Regardless of person’s appearance and looking, there are wide arrays of things that have their particular beauties. Each object has its own beauty and attraction. We could feel or see beauty from looking, physical or emotional ways. Fruits have their unique colors and flowers have their own scents and colors so that they could be proud of themselves and attract people. Most of people perceive beauty from things that they are especially interested in. As a result, we could define beauty as everything and could find beauty from whatever we have if we notice its own beauty and regard even trivial things.
Deserted Island
If I could bring only one book with me when I go to Deserted Island, I would pick up a book named “Survival Book”. It is all about survival including how to live and how to be there. It sounds like not interesting if I go to Deserted Island. Long time ago, people started to be interested in Deserted Island since a wide array of movies or stories are based on Deserted Island. In scenery of movies, it showed us that Deserted Island is such a paradise which is located in the center of the ocean. At the first time, a person who left on the Deserted Island felt lonely and nothing of his life. However as time goes by, he got interests in his life and discovered new ways of living and adapting to Deserted Island. Moreover, there are some comic books which are series of Robinson Crusoe’s way of living on Deserted Island. Young kids might choose those books to read for fun. However, while they are reading the skills or knowledge of living on Deserted Island would be collected in your brain. In my opinion, it would be really hard to live on Deserted Island which actually means “Island without people”. A human is a social animal who needs to collaborate with others to make a living. Since there are no people and not ample resources, the book called “Survival Book” would aid to stay on Deserted Island a lot.
As everyone knows, one of the most imperative factors of living is food. Our bodies need food and should obtain nutrients to make our bodies work normally. Since food resources are limited on Desert Island, we could get the ways through survival book. There might be some methods of cooking using resources which were on Deserted Island. Thus, at least I would not be starving.
Another vital factor to live on Deserted Island is a shelter. I need a place to fall asleep and protect from dangerous things such as cold-wind. I could learn how to build a house or shelter to stay and take some rest.
Furthermore, it would be really boring when I stay alone on the Island where no one is there. I believe that there are some ways to be fun and play some games. Not only that but also there are categories of animals and flowers so I can observe them. Since there are no buddies to hang out and chat with, I would enjoy my deserted Island which is surrounded by Blue Ocean. I think I definitely need to learn how to swim first because I can't swim and the only way to enjoy ocean is going into water. Also I will learn how to do snorkeling to watch all the beautiful fish and seaweeds under the water. It would be really fantastic if I enjoy and come along with nature.
Living on the Deserted Island sounds like curious and interesting. But, since there are no people on that Island, it would be depressed and hard to make a living.

If I have one million dollars
If I have one million dollars, it just sounds like a fictional story and such scenery of movie. I assume that a wide array of people would think of it once since money is important and it provides whatever you want to buy or have. I used to watch news every weekend and at the end of Saturdays’ announcers present the numbers of lottery which is raffle. I partly consider those who got first prize for raffle as happy and lucky but partly worry of them since money is just gone if they use it. As a result, if I have one million dollars, I would be really happy at first and then think of how I am going to deal with it wisely.
First, I would save 70% of one million dollars in my bank account since I thought that I would spend the whole money and waste of some. By then, I would enjoy with the rest of money which is 30% of one million dollars. I would fund one hundred million out of three hundred million. I think the best to way to deal with money wisely is to save some and fund some in order to make the amount of them bigger.
I would purchase something with the rest of money which is two hundred million. At first, I would prefer to buy my own house which is spacious and located in lands which is privately-land and expensive. The location of my own house would be the comfortable place in many ways such as convenience for transportation, possibility for developing, and being away from noise and pollution. If I would pick up that house, it would be expensive but I will look for it at reasonable price so I can afford it sufficiently. I’d rather purchase the land and own it. After I buy the land, I would like to build and design the interior of my house with my mother. My house has to be spacious so my family could stay all together. Since my father likes to have dogs, I plan to make such a huge yard so he can train dogs and raise vegetables at the garden. To build and design such a house, I should pay much money for that.
After I purchase the land to own and build the house, I will clear off my debt if I have. Since there is some left money, I would go to shopping with my family just as everyone wishes so. I want to buy brand new shoes and clothes and for my parents, I would give them couple rings since women like diamond rings. I will also purchase some gold since the price of gold is getting higher. After shopping, we will go to the most popular and famous restaurant in Korea so they provide the best services and serve the best food from the best chefs.
If I still have some left, I will donate it to people who can’t afford basic expenses and make a living. Especially, I’d like to donate it to children who are suffering from hunger and loneliness. It would be better to share the happiness one another and the lucks would be doubled.
Even though it is just a supposition, it would be good to think of how I am going to spend money. I will try hard to make more money to make what I wrote above realistic.
My choice of death
If I could pick a place to die, I would die at home peacefully. I’d rather go into sleep forever with my husband. If I am ready to die, I would be old enough to die and even my husband would be so. It sounds selfish but I’d rather die with my husband at the same time at peace. If I or my husband dies before either of us does, it would be sorrowful living the rest of life without spouse who used to stay with me.
I will lie down to sleep forever with my husband in our room. Before death, I and my husband will go to the department stores to buy clothes for death. I would pick up clothes and shoes for my husband and he would choose them for me. Since those clothes and shoes would fit to each other perfectly, we would put them on and put our wedding rings on. Also I would put on the ring from my mother. When my mother passes away, she would give me a ring which is on my mom’s finger right now. I heard that my mother received that ring from her mother who is my grandmother. It seems that it is from generation to generation.
I would like my house to be peaceful and go well with nature. The birds are chirpy and trees are nodding in the wind. I think the appropriate time for my death is around 11 o’clock. Since I like the rainy day, it would be better to be in rain on the day of my death. However, my husband could not like it, so I will just set the weather windy and warm. The date would be my birthday which is the 4th of October. It sounds good to die on the day of my birth.
Then, I would fall asleep forever, hearing my husband’s song. I like a man who can sing very well and has such a nice voice. With my husband’s singing, we would just look at each other, smiling but saying nothing. We would be on the bed where we used to fall asleep together. It would be perfect to die at the same time, but it is too unrealistic. I don’t care whether I would die earlier than my husband would or not. It is often said that men die before women do. Since it is my choice of death, I want to die at the same time with my husband.
Lastly, I will put my parents’ pictures next to me. It can be my parent’s or my family’s. Since I love my family so much and want to be always with them, I would just fall asleep forever next to them. It is just the same as when I was born. Before I just die, the old and happy memories would come back to my mind and brain so I could remind of them. Our death will be so peaceful and graceful with great hearing.
If I were to bring back one person from death...
If I were to bring back one person from death, I would bring back my grandfather from my dad’s side. He passed away when I was 9 years old and I just remember the day he passed away. It was the Election Day of new Korean president in 2002. Since it was the Election Day, I and my brother who got one day vacation from school were eating late breakfast around 10 or 11. While my mother and we were talking about the candidates for new president, the phone rang which was from my grandmother. She said my grandpa is not moving and just remained as a dead body. My mother just drove her car to grandpa’s house and she let us stay at home. Since my grandpa struggled against a disease, my mother found out that he unfortunately passed away in the morning. Since then, I didn’t go to school for 3 days. I cried due to the fact that I lost my grandpa, but couldn’t feel exactly how serious and mournful was it.
My grandpa was much closer to my brother than to me. I never blame that because my grandpa loves me and when I go to bed, I still hug my doll which was given by my grandpa on my second birthday. So my doll whose name is “Bbomy” is just two years younger than me. My doll reminds me of my grandpa a lot. My grandpa was such a great man who was liked by everyone in his town and showed us his love. My brother and I went to kindergarten located closer to my grandpa’s house. Since my mom worked at that time, he always used to take a bus to get my brother. After kindergarten, he bought my brother jja-jang myeon which was popular food among kids at the restaurant which is just right next to kindergarten. My brother spent almost his time with his grandfather and depended on him a lot. At that time, I was so little that my grandpa can’t afford to take care of me. That’s why I would like to bring my grandpa back from death. Since I was young, I just can remember some memories spent with him. The most memorable day was when I ate a big meal at my grandpa’s house.
As far as I remember, he never gets angry at me and my brother and just did whatever makes me happy. If he could come back from death, I’d like to cook for him. At that time I was too young to cook and serve something for him. I want to cook a meal by myself so he would be proud of his granddaughter. While we are eating, I will talk about all my life stories that happened to me. Also I will show him our present day and age which has developed with high-technology. He might be surprised if he sees the smart phone and I-pods. As my grandfather did to me, I will buy clothes that perfectly fit to my grandpa so those clothes remind him of me when he goes back to world of death.
When it would be the time for him to go back, I will say good-bye to him with smile and give a hug. I don’t want to cry in front of him and if he leaves I might not only cry hard but also miss him already.
About Dong Eun :)
My name is Dong Eun Heo. Some call me Dong-dong or Ashley. I am 16 and turning 17 on the 4th of October this year. I stay on an Island called Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands with guardians who are Americans. I am from Korea and have been here since my freshman year. I am currently in the 11th grade and go to Saipan International School. I just start going to Saipan International School since last week. For my freshman, sophomore year I went to Northern Marianas Academy which is my first school on Saipan.
I have four members of my family: Father, mother, older brother and me. My older brother is 3 years older than me and he also had studied in Australia and Saipan. Since we were young, we are so close that many people envy our relationship as brother and sister. I hardly dispute with my brother and when we have a conflict, it is just one shot since we are cool. I am such a sociable and lively girl who likes to talk to people and be positive. I am a hardworking student since I was in elementary school. I like people to be interested in me and lead people. As a result, I had been a class leader and school leader from 3th grade to 9th grade. Since I am sort of impressionable, if I watch sad movies or drama, especially a story regarding love of family, I just easily cry. I like to smile and have positive mind as my mom does. I am not timid and narrow-minded so I rarely worry about something seriously. It makes me little careless as well but I like to be cool and confident.
I love to try new things I never tried before. I can play the piano, drum and harmonica. But the most regretful and fearful thing is to learn how to swim. Many people on Saipan get surprised when they hear that I cannot swim since I live on an Island which is surrounded by ocean. So a tube became my best buddy when I play in water. Because I love to cook and eat, my mother teaches me how to cook and I enjoy watching my mom and dad’s cooking. Also I am interested in English and studies so I got good marks in grades and school works. I do my best to get higher scores and often dream of my future. I would like to be a teacher or person who works at National Intelligence Service or United Nations. Even if my dream is not certain yet, I am sure that I could accomplish it if I work and try harder and harder as an ant. I enjoyed my school life when I was in middle school in Korea. Since I wanted to learn directly and deeply English which is my favorite subject, I just abandoned my own country, my family and friends. Staying with another family who is American in the other countries makes me sad and unsatisfied. However, I’ll keep making an attempt to climb the ladder of success in order to achieve my goals.
Are men and women equal?
The matter of equality between men and women has been debated so frequently throughout the past years since it is such an imperative issue in this society. In my opinion, men and women should be equal but in reality, they are not. After the Declaration of Independence which explicitly demonstrates that all men created are equal, the inequalities among people for whatever reason had been subsided. Contrary to the past, since women proclaimed their rights, the equality between men and women has been reformed and improved. However, the inequality can be readily seen in this real society. There are generally requirements for men, and other requirements for women in the home, work, and society. Even if there is the same standard for men and women, the gap of treatment between men and women would be existed. For instance, think that you and your husband just got first jobs. When you get paychecks, you compare paychecks with your husband. You can find out that the amount of paychecks would be different from his.
It is crystal clear that men and women have totally different features; people have their own unique characteristics which make them individual. These natural differences can engender many gender stereotypes associated with certain jobs. For example, as many people know, it is unusual for woman to be a carpenter. She could prove that she is talented in that job but naturally she has less physical strength than men. On the other hand, there were some jobs such as nurses and secretaries which deal with the women. Not only are those but there many jobs which prefer men to have. Especially, when you look at the positions which are high such as CEOs or owners of companies, a wide array of them are men however, women are subordinate to them.
Moreover, inequality between men and women can be seen even at home. As traditional roles of men and women were certain and lucid, men worked and women stayed at home and took care of the children. Even though some might think that it would be just the problem in the past when tradition was based, almost the women work both outside and inside in this present day and age. After their work, they prepare meals for family and take care of their children. What’s more, in this society where always associated with money, the person bringing money to home is the one who had the power.
As I mentioned above, the treatment between men and women has been reformed and improved. However, a myriad of people are abided by stereotype thinking when they consider men and women. It could be true that stereotype thinking will always be present, but we need not to judge men and women by the way of thinking. In my view, we still need to make attempts to set this relationship in a better way. More opportunities to work or education should be given to women. Men should understand their natural differences and allot each potion together.

My Paradise :)
Birds are chirpy and trees are nodding in the wind. My Paradise is just simple. I live with my family and have a good time with people I like. My paradise is the place where I could be always happy and healthy.
My paradise has 4 seasons which are spring, summer, fall and winter. Since any pollution isn’t existed, the air is fresh and natural environment is protected. I prefer to live in a life away from technology even though I use the technology.
I am able to not only admire my leisure time but also to be educated. We go to school at 10 o’clock and finish at 4 o’clock from Tuesday to Friday. The facility of schools is well-equipped and the famous chefs cook lunch and snacks freshly. At school, we learn about subjects that are useful in our living and common sense. More sports activities and entertaining classes are added: arts, drama, music, and dance. After school I hang out with my friends in my palace or friend’s palace. I also invite my friends or people to parties which are held at my house every Sunday.
As I can drive a car, I can go everywhere I want. My own car is red and automatic so I can let it drive by itself when I feel tired. At the garage, there is also camping car which is composed of king-size beds, kitchen, and some tools for camp out. Moreover, since there is a private plane and helicopter, my family or I can go wherever we want and whenever we want. For instance, I would like to visit to France and Bora Bora Island with my friends or my family.
I would like my paradise to be a place I could be happy and enjoy with family and friends. I just wish that people who are at my paradise would have a delightful time everyday and be satisfied with their lives. My paradise is so far from reality, but it would be good to imagine my paradise sometime.
