The Uninvited 4 인용 식탁 (4 Inyong shiktak) (2003) Jung-Won, an interior decorator, is overcome with inexplicable anxiety as his long-overdue wedding with Hee-Eun approaches. One evening, Jung-Won falls asleep on the subway on his way home. He is barely able to wake up at the last station. As he comes round he sees two young girls asleep on the seat next to him. He can't wake them before he has to jump off as train leaves the station. He arrives home to find that his wife-to-be has bought them a new metal dinning table. The next day, Jung-Won is working when he hears on the radio that two young girls were found poisoned on the subway. In the course of fitting some lights in a ceiling he is hit by falling debris and cuts his forehead. After a trip to the hospital for some stitches, he goes home to find the two dead girls sat at his new dinning table. Jung-Won, who is now working on renovating a psychiatrist's office, bumps into Yun, a patient on her way out of a therapy session...

I may not know everything on how Korean students manage their time in a day. They may also have different time management. With my student’s case, we were discussing about TIME, how to tell time, etc. In our lesson plan, we have to discuss one unit within 2 weeks! And my student and I meet twice a week so there’s a lot of stretching in the lesson, a lot more activities, etc. Good thing, this student of mine was already “nice” and “kind” compared to our previous meetings. He isa 13 year old middle school boy but his comprehension in English needs more improvement. Anyhow, here is the schedule of Ronaldo (Kyoung Rul Kim). Presentation1_1 (temporary file=too sad I can't upload the picture as of the moment) As I looked at this picture again, I tried to remember how I managed my time years ago when I was still a student. This reminds me of differences that we have in terms of studying. As I asked Ronaldo "Do you get tired?" and he answered "Yes."  If I were i...

I'd like you to meet my student, Min Seok (Tom) He's a high school student. He's smart enough to understand English lessons and also some English jokes. He's also sarcastic, smart alec, witty in the class. I like it because it makes our discussion funny. Smart alec but witty. Tolerable :) But one thing I like from him is that, he never fails to ask me "How about you teacher, how are you?" xoxo

When I was kid, I never liked kitchen. I never liked cooking, but I like eating! Growing up away from the kitchen, since we have elders to cook for our food, I never thought it will be a rough road for me learning kitchen activities.  I know how to cook rice, cook some fried foods. As much as I want to cook some of my favorite Filipino food, oh no, I think that would means a LOT!! Ha-ha I remember my sister and I was watching Sineskwela, (that was a decade ago or so), we tried to cook a burger patty out of banana blossom (“puso ng saging”). It was fun! Since then, my sister became our kitchen’s best friend. Now that I am old enough to be friends with our kitchen, I’m still having some fear to cook the food that I like. Well, this isn’t about cooking lesson though. Since I am expose to Korean culture, language and the likes, one of my hobby these past few months was to cook some “kimbap” and to eat “kimchi” and other Korean foods! I’ve tried to make kimbap. With the help of...

학생 means haksaeng, which means student When I first had my job as Online English Teacher for Koreans, I never imagined that I would get close to them and Korea itself. I entered the business way back 2008 without any knowledge about Korea's culture and language. I was still a student at that time and would work hard to earn money. I was a bit intimidated at first but when I started to learn the attitude of my Korean students, I find it soooooooooooo sweet. Though not all students I handled with were kind, others were really.........."pasaway". Anyway, I collected some of their messages to me from email. Those letters put a smile on my face every time I read them. Though, some of them had forgotten me, I'm still happy because two of them were still active and we still have communication through Facebook. Right now, I am still working at the same business, but different company. I am enjoying touching their lives and building friendship with them. Oh, not just wi...

Yeah, I know this Korean drama isn't that new. But I really find them cute. :) No longer my korean students were so fascinated with Shim Min Ah. She's really cute :) 그녀는 정말 귀엽다! (She's really really cute!)

bye April! Hello MAY!! Just to share two Korean holiday for this month, they will celebrate Children's Day and Buddha's Birthday. Here in the Philippines, I don't know if we have Children's Day, as far as I know, we don't. We also don't celebrate Buddha's birthday. Philippines is known as a Catholic / Chrisian country so we only celebrate the very significant event in the world - that is the birth of JESUS CHRIST. my class calendar for this month *though not accurate for the whole month    Children's Day May 5th represents a day of celebration for children, both young and old. Amusements parks, zoos, and national parks become crowded with families enjoying the holiday in the Spring weather.   Buddha's Birthday   In Korea the birthday of Buddha is celebrated according to the Lunisolar calendar. This day is called 석가탄신일 (Seokga tansinil), meaning “the day of Buddha’s birthday” or 부처님 오신 날 (Bucheonim osin nal) meaning “the day when Bu...

"Happy Pepero Day class!" "How many Pepero boxes did you receive?" "Did you receive Pepero from your crush?♥" "Did you give Pepero to your teacher?" ( http://www.recess.ufl.edu/transcripts/2006/1109.shtml ) Relationships and love are not taken lightly in South Korea. There are over twenty holidays devoted to celebrating one's affections for family, friends, and beloveds. For starters, the 14th of each month is set aside for sweethearts. Also, just as in North America, Valentine's Day is celebrated in South Korea, but with a slight variation on the tradition. Only the women give gifts on Valentine’s Day. To balance this out there is "White Day" one month later when men take their turn giving gifts. This is one of the many holidays that have been named after a color with "Black Day," "Silver Day," "Green Day, “and "Yellow Day" dotting the South Korean calendar. November 11th is one of these sp...
