What To Remember When You Don’t Know What You’re Doing With Your Life

Whenever you are about to give up, just read this. 🙂

Why?

It’s been a week since my last post.

I’m going to have a TOEFL exam this Saturday. Wish for the best! 🙂

But today I wanna talk about this story that happened to me.

I don’t know why whenever I care too much, there must be one day that person don’t really care much about me at all.

I have always believed that there is no such excuse like ” sorry, i’m too busy these days and that’s why I don’t have time … “, if you really ‘care’.

What has to do with not replying me via Line chat for almost 2 days? I was about to freak out but then I know that’s useless, so i just keep that inside of me. deep down inside my mind . . .

Well, maybe it’s just me and not you that feel this way.

 

Luck

Recently, I just felt like writing a diary here, for I think it somehow helps me summarize and arrange ideas of what I have done throughout each day. This could be a good place to throw out any things I wanna write. Also, I hope this will at least improve my English writing skill. 🙂

Let’s get started for the first blog entry of this diary!

Before I begin telling story, I want to briefly introduce what I am doing now, in case someone is passing by my blog and wondering who I am. haha   I am now a fourth year undergraduate student majoring in Bio and Brain engineering. Most people have been asking me what I am studying about. Well, basically, it is pretty much the same as Biomedical engineering. I am studying at KAIST, located in Daejeon, South Korea. I think that’s it for a brief introduction about myself (will be telling more later on).

Diary

Today I have no class, so I decided to attend a special lecture from a Nobel laureate in 2001, SIr Paul Nurse. He discovered proteins named Cdc2 and Cdk1 which are dealing with the cell division. In his lecture, he talked about 5 big biological ideas: 1) cells, the smallest unit of life, 2) genetic inheritance, 3) chemical aspect of life, 4) evolutionary aspect and 5) system and information storage. That was such an inspiring talk. I was really impressed with his experiences in his life that he used to met many of great scientists. When he showed a picture of Mendel’s garden, where he did his experiment growing peas, I was quite exciting about that. lol

After his talk, almost everybody was still staying in the lecture hall waiting for the raffle prize, ipad mini. Guess what? My friend got that! He was really lucky!!! This made me think of Prof. Paul quote which he just answered the head of Biology department. The question was ” how much money did you use in order to bring you in this position and win the Nobel prize”. And his answer was really impressive to me and I think, all the audiences there though so. He replied that sometimes it’s just the matter of luck. By this he means being in the right time, being in the right place, etc. There were a number of great scientists candidates and all of them could win the Nobel prize with no doubts, but, with luck, he was chosen. It’s just simply like that. For the money, government give their money for us and usually tell us what project we should do and that’s why they invest those amount of money for. This is not right. Instead, we ask money for doing our research but we don’t know yet what issue we are going to carry on but, among several topics, it will surely bring about advantages to mankind.

I think I need to go to bed now. It’s 00.47 am already. And I have class at 9am tomorrow. Zzzzz

Gu Family Book|EP 24 The Finale

Finally I finished watching Gu Family Book!!! It’s indeed a very long drama.

***[SPOILER]***

Well, the story ended happily, but not in a way I expected.
Reincarnation!?!?!? How come? When the drama suddenly changed to the scene where Kangchi (LSG) is in his room wealthily living as a businessman in Seoul in the year 2013, I was just shocked!!! Moreover, at the end, he met Yeowool in a reincarnated form as a police officer. What the?!!?!
But excuse me? Where is the so-called Gu Family book??? =_=
Anyway, It’s a great drama after all. I love it! I hope that there is season 2!

I have to wait for the Eng sub though ㅠㅠ

Refreshing Every Day

This activity, biking, becomes my parents’ routine exercise every early morning. So I decided to join them this morning though I need to sacrifice my valuable sleeping time. We got up at around 5.45am. Frankly, my mom had to get into my room to wake me up. We rode a bike starting from our house to downtown and then turning back from another path. It is roughly 9 km and we spent around 20-30 mins. They sometimes go for the next round but not for today.
I found out that beginning my new day with this activity is really a great way indeed to refreshing myself. Exercising in early morning can certainly help you being in a good mood throughout the whole day. 🙂

안녕하세요 여러분! 🙂
I just can’t wait for the coming episodes on this Monday. So I am hoping that looking at these photos might calm me a bit. lol

Cycle of Life

Taken by my dad

“Life is short. If you doubt me, ask a butterfly. Their average life span is a mere five to fourteen days.”

― Ellen DeGeneres

Yes. Life is short. You don’t even know whether or not you will survive through this whole day. Everything can happen. Everything … Looking at the butterfly above, in its life span, at least it helps pollinate flowers. Those butterflies and other pollinators are largely vital to creating and maintaining the ecosystem that many animals including humans like us rely on for food. They facilitate almost all of the world’s flowering plants!
Have you ever asked to yourself ‘what have you done to help the earth’ ? Humans these days don’t even realize what they have done to the place that provides us everything. Animals out there adapt to the nature; they learn how to live with them. But what about us? We did learn from them yet at the end we all take advantage from them. As I’ve mentioned, our life is too short ;too short to do bad things. We should have helped our world more. We must do something beneficial to our world as well as all mankind. Let’s start today not tomorrow, because life is too short!!!

Gu Family Book| EP 20

>.< Argggg This scene is from the 20th episode and it really makes me envy Lee Seung Gi so much. I didn’t think that Suzy (Or Yeo Wool in this story) is gonna react to him like that. And she got another kiss from him. What the !?!?! But I like the chemistry between both of them anyway. 🙂 In the later episodes, besides the emotional wreckage and tragic parts, many cute and adorable moments just came out, which I think we all deserve that, aren’t we? LOL

No. No more. Don’t kill anyone else. I won’t let you kill anymore. I… am going to stop you… Wol-ryung

shouted Kang Chi

And this is the last scene of EP 20. I really wanna see this scene badly. The moment when all of them (Wol Ryeong, Seo Hwa and Kang Chi) are facing to each other like this. I am pretty sure (and kind of hoping) that it’s going to be a happy ending story but I don’t know how they will manage it. I am expecting another turning point or turnaround of this game between Wol Ryeong and Kang Chi. And I’m also hoping again for the heartbreaking scene that could make me burst out into tears! I really mean it. Haha
This drama is coming to an end soon with only 4 episodes left. It’s by all means a beautiful story that takes my breath away in every single minute. Can’t wait to see how it ends!

Disneyland at LA

” You are never too old for Disneyland ”
This quote is absolutely true. No matter how old you are, this place will always warmly welcome you. You feel like you’re becoming a little kid again. Just let yourself be free and leave behind all the commotion.
I came to this place a month ago with 5 of my friends from Hong Kong and Korea. We spent 3 days here and we agreed that it’s still not enough! Honestly, this is my first time going to Disneyland and it impressed me a lot. I am a big fan of Disney in the first place; therefore, with no doubt, I fell in love at once when I stepped in this paradise. I will come here again for sure. See you soon Disney 🙂
