Survival.

My most humiliating experience

What is the most humiliating experience you have had in your life time? Well, mine was actually dangerous,,,,,so they say. So this is how it went down.
This summer, I went to the academy for the first time of my life. Yes. I traveled alone in the city. Now how cool is that?! Anyways, the day of my lovely incident, I decided to go home early to get some sleep after my academy was over. I was out of my T-money, so I had to use the subway. (T-money is a traffic pass in Korea that you can use for any transportation.) The subway was not crowded at all, something I expected and and was not surprise by. However, I did not expect any of the upcoming events that was soon to hit me in the face, hard. As soon as I got in the subway, I grabbed a sit in middle of the carton. There were some elders sleeping, listening to music, but soon realized I was the only teenager there. Things were okay, and I was studying my vocabulary when all of a sudden, the door slide open and there stood The. High school. Gangster. Girls. OH MY GOD.......O_O
As they scanned through the carton and landed on me, I. Was. Terrified.
One of the leader said, “hey get the black one.” ….................I heard that......ANYWAYS I knew something was going to happen and I had to act fast. When they genuinely glided across the carton towards me, with that infamous smirk plastered across their face, I was scared. With that in mind, I pretended to be asleep. Then I had a better idea and so I asked myself. How bad could they be? Evil enough to hurt a handicap?! Yes..........i did my famous eye twitching, head blobbing mental laugh right there at that moment. Screw pride. Screw beauty. Safety was first. Lucky enough, one of them said, “f@!#$.......she's screwed up... lets go”......................PAWNED! YES I DID IT! I was just so happy I saved my 50 dollars I got it from my dad that day, I was literally crying. Then a sudden realization hit me. HARD....AGAIN... After the girls left the carton, all the adults were laughing at my way. Right at that moment, I couldn't describe how embarrassed and humiliated I was right there, sitting in middle of the carton by myself. So, I decided to get off at the next stop and walk rest of the way home, thinking what the hell just happened to me.  

F.R.I.E.N.D.S

Most amazing and memorable events that happened to me? This summer in Korea. I experienced something new but most of all, I've met a lot of new people. Out of the bunch, only two stayed in my mind the most. Her name is Hyein and his name is Min Que. Hyein the obnoxiously talkative and loud girl who has a bubbly personality with the most beautiful smile I have ever seen and the total opposite, Min Que, the most quiet and charismatic boy who was very difficult to start a friendship with. Let me expose,,,,i mean introduce them to you guys a bit.
Let us start with the obnoxious one. Too loud, too noisy, so many freckles, tiny eyes, Cleopatra hairstyle, southern accent, constantly hyper girl from South Carolina is probably the girl who has the biggest smile I've ever seen my entire life. Very outgoing and a bubbly personality to die for, she will make you laugh when you don't even want to crack a smile. Although she may not be the quiet person in the world, she is one of those people who will be there for you whenever you need a that special someone.
Next comes Que. Quiet, handsome, distant, charismatic, athletic,very shy, but understanding and accepting you for who you are, Min Que is the perfect boyfriend material any girl could ask for. “Turkey boy” is his nickname because he grew up in Southern Oregon, right next to the turkey farm house. I'm not saying he's poor, in fact, he lives in a huge mansion and has his own personal jet plane....how richer can you get?.........is richer even a word?!
Anyways, Que will be here this winter break which I am sooo ciked about and will see Hyein this summer~I wish you guys could meet them in person because they are just that fantastic!

How to Let Someone Go

After spending what might seem like a lifetime with someone you love, you may come to the realization that there are many reasons that you have to let him/her go. There are various reasons to let someone go, and we all know that, it is very painful and sometimes difficult to commit that action. It might have been caused by the breakup of a relationship, the death of a loved one, or perhaps, letting go of your friends as they go off to their own separate paths. Life as you have known it will no longer be the same. Letting go of a life as you have known it, and accepting the changes that come with it, is difficult and can at times, be quite painful. Many people become really depressed and social outcasts and in some cases, this leads to suicide. However each of us needs to face having to Let Someone Go at some time in our lifetime.
For instance, on dealing with bad breakups, the first step is always very difficult. You must forget about your ex. In order to do this, first, delete any text messages and get rid of pictures, presents, and whatever it might be that will bring back your memory of your ex. Second, ask for help from your best friends of the same gender. They are the best source of advice for dealing with bad breakups. For girls, get your girlfriends together to have a sleepover, eat junk food, watch movies (never romance), gossip about boys all night long, and cry your heart out during that time (crying is optional). For guys, get your best buddies out for couple of drinks at the bar. If you are underage, grab a coke or sprite-whatever you prefer-and “pretend” it is alcohol and get your emotions out to your friends.
If you are dealing with the death of a loved one, letting go may be a bit more difficult than in a break up because generally, you will have known the person longer and will have stronger bonds with him or her. There is a four step process one goes through when losing a loved one. First, most people start out in denial that the actual incident occurred. The next step in this process is anger and resentment. You may blame yourself or those around you for the incident. The third step in this process is sadness. You may go into a short termed depression. The final step in this process is acceptance when the bereaved person accepts what happened and let’s go of the deceived loved one slowly. Dealing with death of a loved one may require some therapy sessions. It may not be a bad idea to get help from professionals in cases like this.
When you and your classmates go on your separate paths, you may experience some anxiety. It may even be difficult saying goodbye to those you despise. You will probably miss your classmates a lot, and in some cases, may go into a short termed depression. Letting go of your friends is less difficult to deal with than letting go of family members or exes. Today we have the technology to stay connected with our friends even if they are scattered around the blog. We can use facebook, email and our cell phones to keep each other updated. Even with this technology, however, you won’t be able to carry on your day to day friendship exactly the same way. You will especially miss those who you spend the most amount of time with. The best way to let go of a good friend and move on is to open yourself up to others who are presently close to you. Reaching out into the community and making new friends is a great way to let go of an old friend. Perhaps later in life, you and your old friend can meet up again, but the best way to let go of a friend is really just to let them go on her/his own path and make new friends.
As you can see, there are many real life situations in which you must let go of a person at some time in our life. Dealing with bad breakups, letting go of your loved ones, saying goodbye to friends, and processing other losses is always difficult. If you know how to deal with these situations correctly, you can get through it without spending your entire piggy bank on the therapy sessions or wasting perfectly clean Kleenex on a beautiful Friday night.

ALBUS DUMBLEDORE

Dumble~dore!

Albus Dumbledore, one of the most complex and master planed figure in the legendary book of Harry Potter, plays a very important character role in Harry's life. He also sketch brilliant plan of Harry's safety from Lord Voldemort throughout the 7 series of the novel. Sacrificing his own life by asking Snape to kill him for the sake of Harry's protection, Albus Dumbledore is truly my brave literary hero. Unlike other literary books, Harry Potter serves great enthusiasm with different and whole new scale of imagination. Dumbledore is a very respected character in the Wizarding world, who is also a headmaster at Hogwarts..
