make-up = mask?!

This is a quite famous story about 10 or 20 years ago in Korea. It suppose to be funny but I am not that good at story telling so you should have to compensate.


One guy met one girl at the cafe. He liked the girl because she was quite pretty. So when they met day by day and then they fell for each other.
We, Koreans normally working 10~14 hours day so most of the time this couple dating at the very night of the day in the cafe where is very dark but there also has very pretty colorful light in it.
So finally they were getting married one day and went honeymoon to Jejudo where is island and famous for honeymoon destination.
Normally, Korean society does not allow to sex before marriage. (This changed a lot nowadays, but this story was old one so...)
After they arrived Jejudo and then they checked in the hotel. They were very shy to staying same room together but meantime very excited, too. When the girl came out from the shower, this guy shocked and said that "Who... Who are you?"

Because this guy never saw her face without make-up.

watching movie especially good one

If you would like to watching movie especially good one, you can just go here http://www.imdb.com/chart/top (After that, you feel like you want to have some more, you can visit here AFI's 100 years.. 100 movies http://www.afi.com/tvevents/100years/movies.aspx and Time magazine All-time 100 movies http://www.time.com/time/2005/100movies/the_complete_list.html. You can find some other websites, too.)

I am really enjoy watching it. I strongly suggest that do NOT use subtitles.
I was regretted that I couldn't watch it more earlier and why didn't I learn English more earlier.

about me...

This is me Ara who came from Korea and studying at Malaysia.
Finally, I have done my study and I am going back to Daegu in Korea at 28th November 2007.
I haven't been to Korea for 5 years so you think I am not familiar with Korea, you are wrong. I knew too much about Korea. That is the actual big problem because I can do a lot of things if Korean people let me. Either case, I will be powerless.

I am not that interesting about working at Korea(because I will probably powerless person on the earth.) so I will try my best for what I have to do in Korea and probably move on to other country.


------------ This is new one for facebook.

I would like to listen someone's opinion. That should be cultural thing, technology, internet business, movie or TV series. I am not living in London, but I would like to listen Lodon talking 97.3MHz radio(http://www.lbc973.co.uk/) program through internet, because I can listen people's opinion about a lots of things.

------------ new one

You'll be surprise once you getting to know me, because I don't use fancy word and look not very nice. I just express what exactly have in my mind, no more no less. That's what most girls-maybe Asian girls- don't like me because they too much care about fancy word and how he looked.

Topic in facebook.com - None of my Korean friends call me 'pll kon seong' but why would I want to foreigner call me 'pill kon seong'?

originally http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=2245127154&topic=3453

So every body call me my name for 'Seong pill kon'. Isn't that a wise decision?
I wrote my Korean blog about this issue - 이름을 영어로 표기하는 방법 http://kr.blog.yahoo.com/asrai21c/993
But, a lot of Koreans still use either way. Please, read my blog's article and think wisely.
Think about very carefully.. What was your name for?

If you would like to have some special name, there has a nickname right? That's what nickname for. So you can use nickname instead of changing your real name like me. So sometimes I can write 'Ara Seong' because if I said to Korean that my nickname is 'Seong Ara', Korean will imagine meaning of my name and laugh at it-When I thinking about it, I admit it that I laugh, too. So I will probably use just 'Ara' to Korean.

comment for my friend's blog

orginally http://navinkaur.blogs.friendster.com/the_life_and_times_of_nav/2007/09/its_my_way_or_t.html

Hey, Navinda. How are you?It's good to see you here. Even if I don't visit here a lot.

It is good thing that you try to something different. You should read "Who moved my Cheese?"(It's story about why change is necessary.) or "The 7 habits of highly effective people"(I read it very long time ago but what I remember is that if you want to succeed in your life, you should become a extremely well human being.)

I just tell you one thing. My friend said to me that "life wasn't fair!", you know. But, what I wanted to tell my friend is that "You did not acted fairly." It's like that, you know. If you playing bitch, everybody do bitch to you.That's what I call the life of fairness.

But, normally Asian country does not need girl behaviour like that. So why should you care?
Maybe, true. But, if you want to succeed in your life or career, you should try it.


Working is always hard but if you try like what I mentioned, it won't be that hard.

Anyway, have a enjoy your life!

I will copy this to my blog, too. It's here http://ara21c.blogspot.com/

comments for the 'Ratatouille (2007)'

movie info - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0382932/
originally http://imdb.com/title/tt0382932/usercomments-281


Make a new history and new future for Pixar and Disney

I watched it a few hours ago and I could not help to stop thinking about this movie.
Every scene was beautiful and incredible story and it was really funny movie.
I believe I laughed almost an hour or more.
Plot pace was quite fast so I felt that movie is more than 2 hours movie and enjoyed it very and very long.

Reason for saying this movie is make a new history and new future for Pixar and Disney.
Because when people talk about the animation is for child only and then movie was not good enough for adult, this movie can shut them up.
Most interestingly, when I watched movie in Malaysia cinema at 4.40pm show during weekday, I heard that adult are laughing around (let's just say) half an hour and kids are laughing around half an hour and they are laughing together around half an hour.
It was very interesting experience. I watched movie alone so sometimes I felt bit sorry for kids beside of me because I laughed a few times when their not laughing so they did not understand why I am laughing at.
So my point is adult can enjoy movie very much and kids, too.
Adult should not have to lower down their expectation from the movie.

I do not know about what happen in the native English speaking country's cinema but I think it probably have same happen to them.

So I believe Disney and Pixar did it again for new generation of family movie.

There has one problem, maybe. Kids are not enjoy much than other Disney Pixar movie, maybe. I am not so sure about it. But, at least all the family member can enjoy it so it was good thing.

I highly recommended to anyone.

10.0 out of 10.0.
* added at 21 August 2007
I rated as 10 but it is possible to go down when I was watched it again. However, it will most likely stay at nine-point-something rate between 9.5 to 9.8.

comments for the 'Notre-Dame de Paris (1999)'

musical info - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0285800/

originally http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0285800/usercomments-9

I am not big fan of music but this musical amazes me.

10 out of 10

I knew music was beautiful and it makes me feel better but I do not really enjoy listen the music and especially classical music such as opera, Beethoven, Chopin, Mozart's music and philharmonic orchestra. I knew it was all wonderful music but whenever I listen to them, I will definitely go sleep. So I wouldn't enjoy it. I can enjoy part of the music. For example, the movie "The Shawshank Redemption" when Andy go to the prison's announcement room and then playing the opera(I believe this is one of the best scene in all time.), it was beautiful music.

But, I do like watching musical bit childish way because I would like to watching classic Disney cartoon movie such as Beauty and the beast, The lion king, Aladdin and so on.

I watched "Notre-Dame de Paris" about 1 or 2 years ago and that time my English wasn't that good enough to understand the subtitles and interestingly I don't even remember what story is about so I don't have any idea what to say about it.

And then a few days ago I have been listening the some musical album such as Les Misérables and Cats. Surprisingly, I realised that how much I enjoyed their singing and playing. This is the what happen when you watched best movie or performance. It's out of nowhere it came to my mind. I don't even know what they talking about or what this story is about but I was so badly wanted to watch it again and listen to music again.

I must give rate for 10/10 because I don't even understand what they were saying or talking about but I still want to watch it again.

This is extremely powerful and beautiful performance and energetic and splendour musical. It doesn't matter whether anyone likes musical or not so I highly recommended to anyone.

comments for movie "Hwasango (2001)" (modified)

It was funny movie. It made that way., 14 July 2007
Author: Ara Seong from Kuala Lumpur, Daegu(Korea)

** I modified this comments.

User rating was too lower than it seems. This is advice for how you can enjoy watching it.

1. Avoid watching English dubbed version.

2. This movie is comedy.(IMDb.com forgot to mention it.) Don't even think about otherwise. It is like Kung Fu Hustle. This movie's proper genres are action, comedy and fantasy.(This movie is based on the comic book.)

3. You can enjoy watching Jang hyuk's silly and funny acting. I believe his one of best acting on this movie.

This movie was extremely funny like Kung Fu Hustle. If you enjoyed Kung Fu Hustle, you can very much enjoy this movie, too. I don't remember how long ago. When I visited some VCD shop, I saw a lot of times shopkeeper watching this movie. It was that funny movie.

My rating - Kung Fu Hustle (8.3/10) - Hwasango (8.9/10)

Hwasango was so high rating because I don't need subtitles. It is one of my favourite like Oldboy.

*** I just watched again and then I realized that it was a little bit overrated. What I remember the movie was that it was extremely hilarious. And it was hilarious but this time I recognized that action scene(i.e. flying scene) was not really smooth. Maybe, because last time I watched it through VCD so I couldn't recognize. Shaolin soccer also quite same happened.

I am not sure what will happen if I Kung Fu Hustle watched it again, probably my rating should less than that.

My rating - Siu lam juk kau(Shaolin soccer 7.1), Hwasango(7.5)

When I saw the "CBS: A closer look at the iPhone" video, my mind immediately response that it will succeed more than iPod.
This time I won't tell why is that so because I will develop my own website for this kind of things and I can consulting to the other gadget develop company about this.

AT&T Receives 1 Million iPhone Inquiries
Posted by Chris In the News Leave a Comment
One million people to date have contacted AT&T, Cingular’s parent company, asking about the iPhone, said AT&T’s Chief Operating Officer Randall Stephenson today.
Stephenson (pictured below at CTIA) said many of the inquiries were people asking if they could pre-order the iPhone.
(more…)



I know a lot of very nice pda or gadget such as Palm, iPaq, Clie, HP jornada, Nokia's best selling phone, Motorola E398, Razr V3, Sony Ericsson's a few Walkman model and PSP.
I've got impression not like any other gadget. I felt like when I first time saw Palm Pilot with Nokia 3310.(Nokia 3310 was quite different experience because I am Korean and I couldn't speak English when I first time saw Nokia 3310. And when I was little a bit fimilar with English, this phone came to me. When I learned English more, I did learn this phone's real identity.)
That was the reason why I choose that article title. If you know Palm Pilot and Nokia 3310 very well, you will know what am I talking about.

gp2x - handheld gaming machine with linux

GP2X.co.uk official site - Buy the GP2X Linux console http://www.gp2x.co.uk/

Main Page - wiki.gp2x.org http://wiki.gp2x.org/wiki/Main_Page

GP2X.org http://www.gp2x.org/

myGP2X: The GP2X FAQ http://www.mygp2x.com/faq/#_Toc119326348


I was surprised, when I read "The GP2X FAQ". So I just cited the some part.

------------------------------------------------
What's a GP32?
The GP32 is a really cool predecessor to the GP2X and has been very successful on the homebrew scene. Although it looks like a Nintendo Game Boy Advance, it can do a whole lot more.
We're not going to cover the GP32 in details - you can find out more information than you can throw a stick at over at GP32 Wikipedia entry - but this 133 MHz device with 8Mb of RAM (though both could be overclocked and upgraded respectively) was a big hit because anyone could put software onto the GP32 and not have to pay royalties or purchase a costly device SDK (unlike every other handheld manufacturer). This ensured a solid cult following.

I've never heard of a GP32! Why?
The GP32 was only really available in Korea at launch and it took months to get the GP32 into Europe (by which time the GP32 had evolved to the more feature-rich GP32 BLU). There was a lot of confusion surrounding the European launch and despite lots of very developer-friendly features; it was never really noticed by mainstream press / users. Additionally, the GP32 never made it officially to America.
------------------------------------------------

Yesterday, I bought Linux magazine which was published a few months ago and I did know there has Linux console which is GP2X and official site was UK.
And then I found out that GP32 was originally made by Korean company because I think I heard about GP32 from somewhere definitely not from Korean because I don't even read any Korean news paper or article.


I am telling you. If you are working this kind of Korean company, you can contact me for better oversea business. I can consulting a lot of things which you can make more bigger business.
Yah. I don't think you can understand what I am saying.. Don't worry I will wirte this one to my Korean blog by Korean.

CES: PSP LocationFree TV details
Posted Jan 5th 2006 3:30PM by James Ransom-Wiley
* Toby Udstuen's comment
10. This Location Free TV product from Sony is a complete and total SCAM!!! Sony has taken a page from the Microsoft Media Center play book. Sony completely blocks the PSP from playing streaming media over the wi-fi link from the web. So now you have ponied up the $250 bucks for the PSP, then Sony adds this location free tv feature, great, right! Then Sony hits you up for another $300 bucks for the wireless tv base station that in reality is a completely usless bit of hardware when an informed customer looks at the alternative products availible for wireless tv viewing. I have been running ORB TV software on an old 2.4 ghz desktop pc for 6 months now. Orb needs a tv tuner card installed which cost me $130 bucks for a dual tuner tv card from Hauppauge. Then you download ORB's software and create an ORB account. As long as ORB is running on your desktop pc you can literally view/record live tv, photos, and videos from anywhere that has a high speed internet connection using any pc, laptop, pda, or EVDO windows mobile phone. The best part is that the ORB software is free! So lets see 300 bucks for the Sony base station which only streams to the PSP or the ORB setup using your desk pc and if you have no tv tuner requires the purchase of a minimum 40 dollar investment for a tuner card. I have been floored by the great quality of the ORB TV software it has allowed my to watch my local news programs in realtime or schedule recordings while I am on the other side of the country flawlessly and I have also watched recorded video's over the web on a friends pc that uses a 56 kbs modem and found the stream surprisingly good if a little small. This whole product line from Sony is their way of SCREWING their PSP customers. This whole thing is just like when Microsoft started marketing their MCE software. Microsoft from the beginning decided that the MCE operating system was not allowed to be sold to users unless these users purchased an entire MCE pc through an OEM costing literally thousands of dollars, now after poor sales Microsoft sells the MCE software individually! This is exactly what Sony will find out after they find that no one will shell out 300 bucks to watch wireless tv on a PSP's 7 inch screen and by next year after poor base station sales Sony will release a firmware that allows the PSP to view streaming media content from any source not just Sony's solutions.

most powerful brainwash...I have ever seen

Actually, it is second most powerful brainwash.I know one of best brainwash, but it will make a lot of problem so I will talk about it some other time.

I do not know how many people will believe what I am saying. But, I have been debate about network marketing(Here I am talking about the multi-level marketing but I don't know what is proper name for this so I just wrote the network marketing.) for 2 times with my friend. Problem with talking with my friend was I cannot tell the truth. For example, everybody can make money that easily how come nobody tell me how much money they made. Of course, there has success story but it is top people only.

And it was clever way to buy product with point which can make money so I asked price of cheapest product.She said that 17ringgit for Shampoo or something which I can buy it 10ringgit from Carrefour or Jusco.(I also ask 2 or 3 more cheapest product but price was expensive than Carrefour or Jusco.)So truth is they don't give back point for buying product. Actually, you paid extra money and that goes to the point. And not only that. Some of extra money goes to company and your network marketer, too.

And she explained to me about how it works and she drew me the network diagram. So I asked why someone want to buy from you because she has her manager or something. I mean if I want to do this network marketing, why I should buy from bottom line's network marketer. Because I will buy product from top line's network marketer. And then she was confused and she was not sure about that..

You see, that was most important thing in network marketing how she was not sure about that.

I explained about this by very logical way. But, she never listens. And she was not happy because she said that I gave too much negative..That's what I call the brainwash. I cannot explain by logic and I cannot questioning about their problem.

You see, they advertising all kind of nice word like "You can work at home." or "You can work at home and earn 5,000ringgit a month" but they don't tell the truth about themselves.

Most strong point she thought she made was that "I am nothing too loose.". I couldn't reply it but actaully I would like to reply it. You wasted a lot and a lot of time to learn bad business behaviour and wasting money and wasting your energy. I don't know much about sales person's skill but I believe what Larry King(audiobook - "How to talk to anyone, anytime, anywhere" ) explain about the sales skill. He said that "Know what you selling". So sales person must understand(learn or know) their product perfectly. She can't learn their product well so that's the reason I said "bad business behaviour".

Some of multi-level marketers complain about what I wrote. So I found more proper answer about this. I haven't read it yet but it looks good answer for multi-level marketing.

microSD to Memory Stick Duo Adapter

I just thought about adapter(Nowadays store sell the a lot of small and cheaper flash memory such as Mini SD, xD or Transflash.) for this kind of one and I found it.

TwinMOS Converter for MicroSD to Memmorystick DUO £7.00 http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.asp?sku=329280
TwinMost company's website http://www.twinmos.com/flash/flash_p_ms_duo_adapter.htm

I hope this company make more things like this one(converter mini SD and Transflash to memory stick) so Sony must cut down the price for memory stick duo.

GameStop considers opened game cases as "new"?

Main article is GameStop considers opened game cases as "new"? from PSPupdates in Qj.net.

Why customer should talk about this? Why police(There has a lot of association for software piracy.) did not charge the illegal acting?
Whether he or she working at store or not was not issue here. If someone does not buy the license, it was illegal, was it not?

It sounds like you are working at mobile phone or funiture shop so you can take mobile phone and funiture at home and try it out and then selling to customer for new.(I do not know who want to buy this kind of new product.)

You cannot even compare with case that someone borrow CD from friend because friend pays license fee.
