I don’t even close to bookworm but…

I have taken the note from Emma. She has been read 41 books from the list. I should just say ‘Wow’.

I have read a lot of technical book such as computer programming book when I growing up. A lot of people can’t count how many books they read but in my case, I can count on them in Korean novel and English novel, too. Because I haven’t read a lot of books.

If you want to check my list of read book in English, you can check out here.

My reading novel in Korean also quite same as that one. I mean it wasn’t that much.

I was very surprised that I read that list far better than most people so I am trying to do that, too.

y – I haven’t read original story but I read it as rewritten for young age novel.
k – I have been read Korean translated version of book.
b – I bought a book for reading someday in future. 🙂

This mobile thing make a life more easier. But Korean can’t enjoy this mobile life.

Writing in English wasn’t that difficult because of predictive text. That is reason why I didn’t write in Korean here.

This is what makes me crazy.

This is what I wrote in my twitter.

>> against freedom of religion.This is why US’s education system was collapsed and people are having more stupidity. It wasn’t funny. RAmen!

Actually, I don’t know anything about US’s education system so it was false statement and other things too. More precisely they need more evidence and I will write it some day. Because I am quite busy for writing in Korean about this.

But why I wrote that statement because I know the Korean’s education system very well which is mix of US’s and Japan’s education system. And especially religion thing was very like US but different way.

Now I found this twitter’s message

I really like the word ‘productivity’

better than ‘innovation’.
It sounds really nice and comfortable. I don’t know why. But I do know that it can make differences.

When I need some application for iPod Touch, I always look up at productivity categories. Actually you can’t find a lot of applications, though.
Most of them are personal managements stuff such as note or memo, todo list and checklist. Simple but, it is most productivity stuff.

Why?
If you have a idea or some thought, how you gonna keep it? Memorize it? No, right? You probably wanted to write down. That’s why small piece of paper was most powerful tool in the world. 😀
You can write down by word. Also you can draw something. Whichever you like it.

Anyway, I just found one websites called “WeFollow: A User Powered Twitter Directory” and then there has tag for productivity.
I found one interesting twitter user called “productivity501“. And I found one very good quote “If you are looking for a big opportunity, find a big problem.~Anonymous” so I follow on twitter.

So I retweet it like that.

RT @productivity501: If you are looking for a big opportunity, find a big problem.~Anonymous >> That’s exactly why I came back to Korea.

I will tell you about my first or second favourite word next time.

This blog is more like diary. Nothing more.

You probably don’t understand what I am saying because most of people come here for check out my English. Does it make sense?
They don’t understand what I am saying but they wanted know my level of English. It was nonsense so that is why Korea’s English education system was totally corrupted.

Anyway, I don’t have much time for writing anything here because I am really busy blogging with my Korean blog. So if you were interested, you can visit Ara’s global mind column blog or Ara’s properly Learn English blog or Ara’s think logically twitter.

I didn’t expect so much fun from twittering because I don’t like writing sms because of limitation of 160 characters or so.
But now I really enjoyed it in Korean which is update with facebook.com’s my account.

And then someone followed me so I checked out who he or she was. And then I really enjoyed what he was twittering. He or she is Ralph Wiggum.-You know, I don’t have any idea about any name from gender.- That link is his twitter page.
I can’t writing any English in thinklogically account because Korean can’t understand English. So now I am thinking about make one more twitter account for English.

I am thinking about it but I can’t decide because I have too many blogs and twitter accounts.

Hey, one more thing.
I told you this is more like diary. I am not writing this from Microsoft Word which can check spelling and grammatical error. So don’t complain about my grammatical error.
Think wisely and don’t be an arse.

Who am I? I am what I am.

I wrote this on my Korean blog http://asrai21c.tistory.com/348 @ 2009/02/21 02:43.

This is not suppose to be here in my Korean blog but I just wanted to say what I wanted to say.

It is not intention to understand what I am saying here by Korean because I want to talk about why I am doing this. I know that you probably find out that who am I based on reading my article here or find out my personal history from Ara’s profile.
But you will never understand why I was wrote lots of things here because I am talking about something else. What I am trying to do here is that revolution of the Korean’s future. You probably think that how ridiculous what I just said.
Yes, it is ridiculously super(??) crazy talk. However, it is possible if you let me talk and if you listen carefully what I am saying here.

I am not trying to convince you. I am just trying to ask you that why do you think that way? People claim that I was wrong but you know I was right. Why? That’s the thing. Why?

That’s the what I have been really doing. Why do you think that he was right or I was right or you don’t know? Why?

I believe that you subscribe(I don’t know what’s the word for RSS reader’s subscription.) in my blog here. Because you probably felt that it is something you can learn.
That’s really good start. Listen… and think… and think. That’s what you have to do.

It is almost eighty-something people subscribe in my blog so I just wanted to say whether you can understand or not..

People never change. But people can change if they can accept(or learn) other people’s mind.
So please be patient and learn from other people’s thought and mind.

Atonement 2007 – overrated film

I replied the zebrasnake’s topic ‘Overrated film’ which is in imdb.com’s Atonement (2007) discussion board.

———————————————
I think I will agree most of your comments about the movie, zebrasnake.
I really liked movie until close to ending part which is interviewing the Briony. If they didn’t include that part, maybe I can rate them about 6.9 or close to 7 out of 10. Because I thought it was very clever way to telling the story until…
As soon as I was watching the interview scene, I felt that this is all fake even if it is true story.

And then now I did know what wasn’t enough about movie when I read differences between the book and the movie from mikuhgtt’s explain at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0783233/board/nest/120606384
That differences explain the book was so special but movie is not so special.

Now I can rate them about 6.2 out of 10.

If this movie is one of best movie, why imdb.com rate them as 7.9(out of 10) and 7.3 in rottentomatoes.com.
It is good movie(I probably say it is just not bad movie.) but it isn’t best movie yet.
