Movie Review: Miracle in Cell No. 7

-
Image
I don't cry when it comes to movies. There are movies that can influence my feelings, tingle my senses, and make me feel like crying, but I never have shed tears for those movies. Maybe it's because I have a heart made of stone (maybe not!), or they just can't bring that "pinch in the heart" than can make you break down and make your tears fall. I thought it would stay like that forever. But I was wrong.

When you decided to end it all..

-
Image
We are now in a very modern world, and we are overwhelmed with too much things to think of. Students now have more things to learn, workers now have too much to work on, and everything else. Everything gets complicated and hard that they already give us a lot of stress to deal with. Moreover, illnesses and sorts are one of the things that puts more stress to some. And now, because of these stresses that we feel, some people just can't take it, and decided to end it all.

It's not as easy as you think!

-
As I have studied the history of both countries, I have been well aware of the dispute between North Korea and South Korea. The two countries have been forced to become enemies, though they are once a very united country. The other warring the other, and the other defending from attacks of another. We have known South Korea for so long. We can all see that the country is a peaceful one, and has been open to the world with everything that it could share. It was always tagged as the "Nice Korea" for it is very nice to its people and to foreigners.

The "Korean Promise"

-
Image
Promises are meant to be broken. This is a cliche that almost every one of us know. In our everyday lives, we tend to create promises - be it a small one, like to buy a candy for your sibling, or a big one, like to promise a good life to your partner. It's up to you if you are to fulfill these promises, or just break them, as everyone expects.

United We Stand?

-
Image
Together we stand, divided we fall. Together, we'll climb to the top of the world. Why did they separate? The quotation above is very applicable to Korea. I'm not talking to South Korea itself, but the whole Korea, including North. The country could've stood together as one, and emerged as one of the most influential countries of this time. As we can see, South Korea steadily is making its way towards development, and this evidently shows North Korea's downfall a lot.

Hello!

Annyeong haseyo! (I thought of writing this in Hangul, but the computer I'm using does not support such.) Well, I wanted to start this page in order for me to share my thoughts about my recent obsession - the country South Korea. I am not that fan of K-pop, but I really really like the country, including its culture, language, and system of writing. I call my liking of the country as an obsession for I really want to learn their culture and live in South Korea!
