Ally Meal episode1 can be separated Ally's part and john's part. The show begins with Ally and Brian at the bar. He gives her a ring and asks her to move in with him. She is kind of Embarrassed. Because of this incident, Ally got a doubt. Later, Ally and Renee discuss it, She can't decide her choice. So, Ally goes in search of her therapist, Tracey, she isn't there. There is a man whose name is Larry. Ally tell him about her situation. And Larry got the point, "sex is everything." They argues it. Later on, she goes back Larry's office, and they argue again. Ally tells him that he is an ass. Ally goes back to Larry's office again. However, she apologizes for calling him an ass earlier. He tells her she must tell Brian, and must be blunt about it or he will not get the point. Ally goes to see Brian, and tells him that she does not want to move in with him. She gives him back his ring. He tells her to hold onto it until they are ready for that step. She tells him she doesn't want to see him anymore. Brian got angry. He tells her, she was finding a prince.
John argues the case in court. because he advised her to settle for $700,000. Maureen takes the stand. She has never had sex with her husband, even wedding night. They were great companions, and enjoyed their time together, but there was no romance. And she witnessed that her husband and a woman played together in pool. Maureen's husband says that He really loved her, not sexually but mentally. John thinks he loves just her money. Finally, Maureen's husband won. He comes over to Maureen and tells her that he doesn't want any alimony from her. And he says, " I did love you."
Relationship between man and woman is super complicated. Especially when we marry with someone, There are so many things we should consider. First of all, money. Who can live without money. I bet, no one can. And nobody can denies, Money is huge part of our life. So, money is high priority. Second is SEX. It's a fundamental instinctive thing like a movie's name. I think the judgment was wrong. Marriage life without sex is not marriage at all. Marriage is also a promise of sex. Companionship, in my opinion It's the most important fact for relationship between man and woman. It's pretty defferent from love. It's like friendship, there are trust and belief. As time goes by, companionship gets deeper. Everyone prioritizes values with their own way. That's natural, because everyone has own back ground and situation. But it's obvious, choice should be based on mental and emotional thing.
Yesterday, my earphone was broken. So I couldn't listen music on the way my home. I was so depressed and even I felt uneasiness. I think it is not nomal. It is serious to me. I'm gonna tell you how serious I am. When I had a girl friend, we had a trouble with this. After I went with her to her house, I went home. It took 30minutes. My girl friend wanted to talk with her with cell phone and I wanted to listen music(not always). I don't mean that music is more important than girl friend but I feel that I'm addicted. Today, I've tried to find some good earphone or headphone on internet site. I didn't determine anything yet. I'm writing down this post on my lab. Maybe I can not endure and just buy one on the way to my home. One of my friend told me, men can not live without women, alcohol and music(So he is a professional bartender right now). Probably he is right. At least I can not live without music.
Korean music is great. But American music artists are so great. I like Stieve Wonder, Elton John. Eminem is my favorite as I mentioned before. Nowadays, I'm listening Maroon 5's songs. 'Make me wander' is so great. I really wander that Adam Noah Levine who is vocal of Maroon 5 has extremely attractive voice. Canadian singers are also great. I had chance to go Celine Dion's concert at Las Vegas. I can not xpress how impressive she is. Even though I could'nt listen the song 'Time to say good bye'(with Romanza andrea bocelli) at concert, that is so great. I reallt wanna recommend it for you.
I put Sears tower in this picture by my camera. Fortunatly, sky was mysteriously beautiful. I guess I took this picture in a car. Sears tower is such a skycraper. So even I didn't take picture at not close from there, it was possible to take Sears tower. Even if you are not near the down town, you can see it. So you can find where down town is located. Chicago's nickname is 'Windy City' because these is actually so windy. Once, Sears tower's window which was attached at 125th floor fell down to street because of extreme windy weather. Fortunately, there was no person who got injury. If you have a chanc to go there, be careful.
This picture shows view of chicago down town, near Lake Michigan. I took this picture at 96th floor on John Hancock Center. John Hancock center is the second tall and third building which has many floors. Luckily, the day I took picture was fantastic, so I could take awesome one. But, honestly, night view is much better than this. Unfortunely, by some reason, I couldn't take night view picture of Chicago down town. Chicago's night is amazing. Actually you can see that in many movies. Oh, I really hope that I can go there once again.
I love taking photos, even though I don't like being taken photo. I have a camera which is my No. 1 precious treasure. My camera is Cannon 300D and I have two lenses, 18-55mm, 50.8mm. I don't think that I'm good at taking photo. So my album is not thick and there are not many pictures that I'm proud of myself. Since I couldn't buy nice excellent lense(Sooooooo expensive), my best choice was 50.8m lense. It is pretty nice to take picture of person and cheap, although it doesn't have zoom so that I have to move back and forth when I take picture. When I was in U.S., I took pictures with my camera.
This picture is that my friend took me with my camera. There was Universial Studio. Hair band is Shreck's ear. Universial studio huge and interesting place. But ridings were not that fun. One thing really surprising is that I saw Han, Ga In and Yeon, Jung Hun at there who are Korean actress and actor. It seemed they came there for honeymoon. Anyway, %0.8m lense's outfocusing is outstanding.
This picture is taken at UCLA. It was so nice day to take a picture. UCLA is so big and beautiful. Actually, at day time, especially sunny day, triangle supporter(Sambari, I don't know the exact name of it) is not neccesary. But we just wanted to be shown as an expert so we carried it.kk I envied people who were attending UCLA. Campus was so beautiful, students seemed so relaxed, cheer leaders practiced, and no body cared me.
It is pretty obvious that internet has plenty of materials of learning English. Some might be good and some might be bad. It is important to distinguish those materials. If you select good materials from internet, you can use it as esource of class. Hoever, I think resource is not one thing that we consider. Of cource, resource of class is one of the most importnat thing of studying. But we can not easliy call English to just studyng. Enlish is language. Language has not only scientific part but also it has cultural part and human being. So resource from internet should obtain what we actually do ing our life. Obviously, internet is part of our life, so it is expected as good. But inherently, as I mentioned, language is a thing between person and person. So we should focus on more about interaction of teacher and students.
K.P. It doesn't imply Kimchi Power. It does mean Korean Pride. In thesedays, we can see pretty many Korean Amerians in American TV show. I'm not sure all of them care they are basically from Korea. However Koreans are really proud of them, even though they are legally not Koreans. I think Americans seem that they actually deesn't care where movie stars come from. So It is hard to make Americans recognize about Korea. Even some Americans make a wrong guess Korean Americans as japanese Americans. As I mentioned last blog, Americans like japanese culture a lot so they think oriental mysteries are the same as Japanese. It's hard to be blamed because the circumstance is like that. I just hope that Americans concern more about Korean culture than now.
Therefore, I'm ganna introduce our boastful looks here. Have you ever watched TV show 'Grey's anatomy'? If you say yes, You can guess who I introduce. Sandra Oh(Oh, MIju) was born in Canada, actually. He won at various part of award. As I know, she acted 4 movies so far and TV show Grey's anatomy. And you know Rick Yoon who was appeared 007? He also acted in Fast and Furious. His brother is also actor whose name is Kill Yoon. Both of them were born Seoul but they immigrated. All Will Yoon Lee who is selected Most beautiful 50 People by magazine People, Moon Bloodgood who acted in C.S.I(she is mixed blood), Writer and actress Moran Cho and Aron Yoo who acted in Disturbia are also boastful Korean Americans. Some people might say they are not Koreans any more so they are american's honor. And if we call them as Koreans, somebody say it is too much nationalism. However, We just love our country and we just wanna express our patriotrism and we just think that Koreans are Koreans wherever they were born and live.
Recently, many american TV dramas are so popular in Korea. I bet that most of you watched Prison break which is even more popular in Korea than America. And the main actor became so famous in Korean. He got a TV commercial of Coffee. 24 hours, Grey's anatomy, Desperate wives, and C.S.I are also very popular in Korea. But I think Heros is the best one which is recently been broadcasting. If you've never seen that before, be careful. You have to watch it continously.
Heros is very similar to X-men and Mutant-X. Some people have special abilities but everyone has different ability. One can fly other one can read people's mind and control. Someone even can make metal spoon to be gold. Then, reasion why the title is Heros is that some of them try to save the world against to the others. Main story line is pretty predictable but in every single episode, the situations always reverse. When I watched it, I was always suprised.
Heros has couples of main characters. One of them is a Japanese both actually and in drama. I think it implies that Japanese culture is pretty popular. Like 'Last Samurai', americans seem to like Samurai sprit which is over-beautified(in my opinion). Anyway, one thing made me suprised. The Japanese character's name is Hiro. And there is another Japanese character named Ando who is the best friend of Hiro. Interesting fact is that he is actually A Korean. Not actually Korean, he is an American but his blood is Korean. He speak English well because he is an American now. But how can he speak Japanese well? Does he want to be shown as a Japanese? I really wander..ㅡ.ㅡ+
Men love sports. I'm a man. So I love sports dedutively. I think soccer is the most popular soprt in the world. But, in U.S., soccer is not that popular. As you know, Americans love football, baseball, and basketball. I don't like football. I even don't know how to play it. I like baseball. Especially, KBL, Korean Baseball League, is awesome. Since my hometown is Busan, I support Lotte Gaints. In baseball season, it is so happy time to watch Lotte's games. I'm sure that baseball is the most popular sport in Korea. But about ten years ago, basketball hitted Korea. At that time, Korean league was so popular and Lord of basketball came out. His name is Michael Jordan. A lot of Korean guys watched games and bought NBA player card(Maybe some of you know the card). I was one of them. At that my dream was to get Michael Jordan special card. Actually I couldn't get it. Because it was totally expensive.
Michael Jordan was a super hero. Every Korean support Chicago Bulls because of just one reason that Michael Jordan played for chicago Bulls. His ability was absolutely the best. Even now, I think there is no player better than Jordan. And his personality was good. So there was no way not to call him the best.
Fortunately, when I was in chicago, I had a chance to go to watch Bulls game. Even though there was no player who I really liked, Jordan, Pipen, Rodman, Kerr etc, it was so great time. The fact that I stepped United Center(Chicago Bulls home court) made me be moved. I really appreciate that NBA gave me a great memory.
The world best coffee, STARBUCKS. I believe all of you like Starbucks, even though it's expensive. When I traveled America, I was so surpirsed that every single block, there is at least one Starbucks. Actually I went downtown of Chicago, so a lot of people drink coffee so it could be unusual. But still, it was enough to make me surprised. There are many Dunkin Dounuts, too. BUT!!.. you know.. Dunkin's coffee is evil..k. Extremely aweful.
Unfortunately, Illinois has tax for coffee. So Chicago is a little bit expensive but it's still cheaper than Korea. Califonia has no tax. When I visited there, once I ordered Moca frappuccino, tall. On the menu board, it was $3. So thought It cost $3 and something more. But it was just $3. What a cool state. People call Governer "Governator". But Chicago downtown is very nice to drink coffee, especially at noon. Because Chicago has Chicago river. So I could drink with riverside. It's cool, isn't it? And every Starbucks has different(not absolutely different, actually) and nice interior.
I think people who like Starbucks coffee have own favorite. Mine is Moca frappuccino because it's not so sweet and not so bitter. Caramel macchiato seems popular but it too sweet to me. I like Vanilla latte, too. But, when I was in U.S., no one recognized my pronunciation 'Vanilla latte'. So I couldn't drink it. I didn't even try to order it. Gosh, it's a so sad story.
Here is a interestiong story. Korean starbucks has three sizes of cup, right? short, tall and grande. In U.S. starbucks has no short size on menu board they have velti which is bigger than glande. Interesting thing is that they actually have short size. They just don't want that people know about existance of short size. Because it is not economically good. However, short has better taste than any other size. The short cappuccino has the same amount of espresso as the 12-ounce tall, meaning a bolder coffee taste, and also a better one. Secret of Starbuks~!! But we korea have short size cup. Sean~ it was nice choice coming Korea cuz you can drink better Starbucks coffee.

you saw Han Ga In?..wow~.. read more
