Steel Magnolias- Iris

It's really an old movie and released in 1989. However, I like it very much. It talks about friendship. And the ending is touching. The first time I saw this movie is about 4 months ago. Our English Writing teacher borrowed from the school library. It's really a nice movie that I recommend everyone should watch it.

Play that I enjoyed - CAREY




I really love to see play, musical or movies.
I'm interested in how actor present their mood and feelings and what the play want us to know.
Different Chareacter and unique story which can't happen in real life. It's so exciting!
I remembered the first play that I saw with my best friends. The play is happening in comic book store and main character is Mi- suk. (만화방 미숙이)
It was very famous play between students or 20 years and it maybe has 3 series.
Actors and actress's acting ability is so great and really comic.
While I saw the play, I laughed a lot. It was hilarious!Also, they present ther mind by singing songs. Songs is exactly fit well with the situation.
They have so nice voice. I really got impressed.If you like to watch drama or movies, try to see the play with your friends!
It will be great time^^

Above the picture which I was taken with play's actor or actress.
Can you find where I am? kkk

things i'd change by ViViAn :D

If i had last year to live over again, i'd definitely take more serious the school... I would spend less time being at the computer or watching TV and i would study more... I wouldn't have my mind on the boys ( xD xixi come on im a teenager!!) and i would pay attention to the class. I would also study properly for a test instead of going out...

Things I'd change- Iris

If I could change, I would change not to study in Ivy junior high school. I had a happy time in junior high school. However, it's kind of wasting time. The tuition fee was so expensive and I did not study hard. And I often escaped the difficulties. It made me feel pressure. If I'd change, I would choose a school I like.

Things I'd change(Jerry)

if I had last year to live over again, I'd change my school life... spend more time on study~
and I'd change my weeken plan~ not just practice golf!
sometimes I should go out for have fun with my friend! and I'd change my night life. donnot go to bar too often! I should try to sleep earlier that I can wake up at 6:00~

Things I'd change-------cheng I-ling(Summer)

If I had last year to live over again , I would seperate the year to 2 different parts.
At the beginning of the year , I will spent all my money and traveling around the world.
To make a lot of friends , to relax , and to enjoy the life.
At the last of the year , I think I will spent all day to accompany with my parents.
In my opinion , family -friend-health is the most important things in the world.

Things I'd change-cathy

If I had last year my life to live over, I would study speaking English, so I would take a English conversation class or I would join a English study group.
Actually, I want to take English Academy. I wouldn't because I wouldn't have time to go Academy.

Things I'd change-Debbie

Things I'd change my speaking habits. My speaking tone is too strict and fast. I think it isn't good for the other people. It seems to me I keep my presence of mind. Sometimes, people who see me firsttime misunderstand of me. Because of my speaking habits. My speaking habits comes from my hometown dialect. But I think i can change it. I wish I could speak slowly and warm.

Things i'd change.grace

If I had last year to live over again, I would definitely study harder than before. If I memorize word hard, I wouldn't be fail at test.... I didn't study so much, because I had too much confidence. I will do that again, so this time i will do my best.

Things I'd change - CAREY

If I had last year to live over again, I would definitely have more time with my parents.
I would go home early and have a dinner with my family.
On weekend, I would stay at home and enjoy something with them.
Probably, some weekend, I would hang out or go outside.
And I wouldn't tell a lie to my mom. Last year, sometimes I said to mom that I'll go to the library, but actually I met my boyfriend and went out.
So, I felt really sorry to mom. Because of that, I want to do better something for my mom.
If I did that, I would keep up my role better as a daughter.

things i'd change -sienna-

if i had early this year to live again, i would chage my schedule of class.
l wouldn't register for class of exercise.
i don't like exercise. so i don't go class of exercise. eventually i got F.
so my total school record is lower than the one which is no class of exercise.
next semester, i have to register for class of exercise to graduation.
it drives me crazy.

CAREY

Social life
-One thing I'm not good at doing is.....
It is diffiult for me to reject other person's request(=asking). If I reject some thing that my friedns ask me to do, I feel sorry. Although I probably get some loss by complying with asking, I just put up with that.
-Solution
If I have some troubles in dealing with asking, I think it's better to tell this to my friends.

School life
-One thing I'm not good at doing is.....
I like to delay my homework and study for exam. After hang out with my friends, watching TV etc, I start to study. Because of that, I usually go to bed lately. And then, I wake up late. I'm late for school.
-Solution
Try to keep in mind that first thing I have to do is homework! and go to bed early.

Home life
-One thing I'm not good at doing is.....
In my family, I have a rule about time I have to get home before midnight. But, I sometimes go to home very late without telling this my mom. So, I make my mom angry and worried.

The Happiest memories

Hey it's me Chihiro!
I think most of you know that i love CONCERTS!!!!
It is part of my life!


So my happiest memory that i had was at a concert that one of my favorite band did. The band name is called "Sadie". If your intersted please check^^

It was their 5th anniversary live. My friend got the ticket for 3
of us. I was enjoying the live so much! They even played the new song which wasn't even in stores yet! We were all the first ones to listen to it!!

There is more to it!

I was in the front row on the right hand side.
The Guitar player Tsurugi was throwing picks (the thing you play the guitar with)
to the audience at the really back. So i wasn't able to get it.
But some of the people didn't give up. I gave up though.

Then i saw something flying over my head!!

I did't think and just jumped to get the flying object.
Then i realised that it was a towel!
So i caught the towel and got it in my hands really tight.

From the direction that the towel came from was from the Bassist.
His name is "Aki" he isn't my favorite but i was so happy that i got a towel from him!!!

That was the first thing that i have i ever got in a concert!
So i think this was my happiest memory that i have ever had^^

We didn't learn how to roller-skat; instead, we learned by ourselves. It's quite unbelievable for myself to believe. And we uauslly didn't wear knee pads and hamlets. We would play untill sunset and roller-skat to home. It's really an interesting and memorable time. Nowadays, I don't roller-skat anymore.

Not only that day, also these days my family used to travel when we have time.

Riding a bicycle(Choy)

When I was a child, I used to ride a bicycle with my sisters. In those days It was

so expensive to buy a bicycle that we rid grandfather's bicycle and never wear

Pyramid is considered as scientific and elaborate building.
Many scientist are suprised when they knew the structure of pyramid.
I can't understand and wonder how people made it with no technology at that time.
It was suprise to me and that's why I have an interest about egypt.
Also, mummy is special remains in egypt. The amazing thing is that mummy is really preserved very well when we found it in modern ages. I want to know what makes it possible.

because my korean name means vinus (of planet).
so i have a lot of interest in myth.
I think there are many the ancient greek temples and many historical sites to see in greece.
I don't have enough knowledge about greek myth.
so i have to study on greek myth.
if i have a lot of knowledge about greek myth, i can more enjoy the greek traveling.

the country I'd like to visit is Korea!

I have been korea one time! but just for Golf tournament!
that was boring! I didn't go anywhere when I was there!

The country i will visit someday- Iris Yang


I have always wanted to visited Paris, France. She have been a popular destination for tourists. There are so many famous and beautiful places but i'll definitely visit the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and Place de la Bastille. The Eiffel Tower is both a global icon of France and also a recognizable structure in the world. The Louvre is one of the world's largest museum.

Since my friends really wanted me to enjoy rafting togehter , I could not but go rafting. That sports made us feel great and it was one of the most exciting experience I've ever had. If I have a chance to go rafting again, I will go and enjoy without hesitating.

I went to Gyeongju with my friends last winter. Gyeongju is famous for historic sites in Korea.
There are Bulguksa, Sukgulam and Chumsungdae. we rid a bike to see the remains because it was difficult to visit the historic sites by walk. Even though the weather was so cold, it was very interesting and good experience. Of course, the remains were very wonderful. I will visit Gyeongju again.

Exciting Experience ( Cheng I Ling)

At the year I graduated from the high school , I had an exciting experience . I got a job which was open to booking the house . I had been a model for advertisement once . I felt so excited when I was taking the pictures . From that time , I became more active . It was the most exciting experience I've ever had .

Exciting Experience ( Iris )

The only exciting thing i've ever done is to swim across the lake. At that time, the sunshine was strong and i was sunburned. But swimming across the lake was really interesting. I reached the destination successfully without taking any rest. It's like challenging myself and testing my endurance. I really had a good time and enjoyed the contest.

unforgettable memory! (GRACE)


Two years ago, I stayed in the Philippines for few months. In every weekend, my friends and I went to the sea to sailing boat. During that time, we did snorkeling , and scuba diving .It was so exciting! One day, something happended to us. When we returned to the coast from the middle of the sea, suddenly our boat stopped . we noticed there are some problems with engine. We were waiting for the people that could help us. As time goes on, we were floating by wavies. Fortunately, we knew the tide is ebbing. So, we took off the boat, and walked to the coast. It was hard to get there, but it was fun!

H/W Yeonsook Son(Debbie)
