Good manners. I took train to get to work this morning, and felt frustrated because of person next to me. The one of my pet peeves is people who are listening to music loud with ear buds. Presumably they didn't notice about the noise they made to people because they believed that other couldn't be able to hear that music(noise to people) at all. I thought to myself "please wake up and low the volume" I hope people keep good manners in public place, and not to bother others.

An addiction on cellphone I kept my cellphone around me all the time, and checked for missed calls and texts in 10 minutes . Today I left it at home and felt uneasy all day till came home from work. Maybe I have became too depend on it. From now on I will set the time limit on cellphone usage. it is because recently I lost track of time and ruined impotant matters I should have done it.please snap out of it.

Getting weight. I have gained weight recently. When I looked at me through the mirror, it looked like I got some weight, so I weighted and found that I got around three pounds. I believed that it must be from the trip I did a week ago with my friends. I visited China and stayed for a week there and ate a lot of foods offered to us. It was not easy for us to refuse foods we had from people we met. I should excise everyday hard from today. I hope to get back in shape soon like before.

The summer holidays. I went to the Key west in FL last week with family to spend the summer holidays. And we visited the Ernest Hamming-way home which was one of the most important tourist destinations in Key west. In terms of transportation we took,I rented the premium rental car for making the trip comfortable. It took almost two days for us to get there as we had stopped by the several famous places while we were on the way to destination. It made us feel tired a little , however it was totally worth visiting. Frankly, I didn't know about him well as I'd just read his one book called the old man and the see a long time ago.

I won't forget the name of Hilton. I went to on a trip to Atlanta with my family because of my wife's doctor's appointment yesterday. While we were on the way to the hotel where I made an reservation, we had unexpected troubles. The problem was from GPS where I put the address in to get the hotel. Finally, when we got the location of hotel where GPS led us, we didn't find any things looked like hotels except the highway. We actually were on the middle of highway So that I'd checked the address I put on GPS again believing I didn't put the correct one. After checking, it was absolutely correct. The trouble was that for a while I had no idea where we were in a middle of night on the highway. It looked like the GPS I had was working properly so I called the hotel to get the some information about different GPS address, but though the hotel tried to help me out, It actually wouldn't help us since I should know the information on the number of highway and load . The reason I didn't know about the highway numbers was that I just followed the GPS . After minutes resting on the middle of highway, I'd decided to use smart phone's GPS. Using of smart GPS was so difficult for me to hold and use it while we were on driving. Despite of difficulty of useing it,I managed and checked in hotel after 20 minutes. The hotel itself was fabulous to stay with plenty of accommodation. In summery, I decide not to drive at night to sake of safety of my family unless it is not urgent matters to deal with and replace my old fashioned Gamin GPS as well though I have been using it occasionally.

The repainting. Three months ago, when I painted the left painting it seemed like I was so proud of myself that I put it into frame and I took picture of me standing proudly in front of this painting. Today I was curious about how it would look like if I paint it again with my current skills. After painting it again, I noticed that my skill of painting had improved much better than before. Now I am wondering how it feels like when I paint it again after three months later.

A improvement on repairing All of sudden, while I was trimming, the power of rechargeable weedeater stopped working. The things I did for checking was to determin what was wrong on the mortor. First I did open the switch of the power up and cheched the voltage with a meter. It thuned out that the swich was ok as I could see the correct voltage from the swith, then I tried to open up the mortar cover which would be a bit triky part to be done as there were a small parts. Then I found out that one of wires was down because of the vibration while using it. honestly, I was glad that at least, I found out what was wrong obviously. I reparied the disconneded wire with the solder firmly. It took about 20 minutes for me to fix it completely. The good thing was to know that I did a improvement on repairing. As when it'd happened before, it was a sort of challenging job which used to take a couple of hours to determin the reasons. .

What happened today. I got a call from the number which I didn't know this morning and it become a day I didn't expect. Personally, I tended not to answer to the phone number that I didn't know so I hesitated to get it first, however eventually I answered to it since he called a couple of times while I was avoiding. It turned out that the call was from the owner of Korean grocery store where I had been for shopping sometimes and he who knew what I am doing asked me to repair a store freezer. This is what happened, first of all, I have been managing air conditioners and heating of rental houses and company so I assumed that he remembered me and believed that I might help him because he was afraid of melting his stuff that was in freezer. He told me that what happened to his freezer and wanted me to come for checking. The problem was that I was not supposed to repair other ones because of laws. So that I explained about it to him, but told him that I could come and help him while the mechanic was repairing it as his major problem was a bad communication with a mechanic. According to him he already had a mechanic fixed several times but he wasn’t satisfied with his work because of result the mechanic made. Though he was owner of store expecting enough fluent speaking English, but he was not Second, when I arrived at the store and asked about the trouble he had, he showed me the temperate of freezer telling seriously that it has been showing -15 degree and it was showing + 4 degree which could be able to make his stuff melt completely. However when I looked at it closely the unit was Fahrenheit but he assumed that it was a Celsius that is unit most Korean use and familiar with. That meant it wasn’t problem in terms of melting stuffs as the +4 degree of Fahrenheit was equivalent to -12 degree of Celsius. Anyway, when I checked the thermostat to see the designated temperature, I found that it was set + 4 degree of Fahrenheit which the mechanic set it up because of the bad communication with owner about a week ago. In summary, I changed the thermostat from +4 to -15degree of Fahrenheit then it started decreasing the temperature immediately like the owner wanted. Sometimes the basic of anything and checking calmly are so important to avoid the unnecessary things.

My wife had a good luck today. This morning, we had different destinations to go with each other unlike other days. She needed to go to the Mongtomery to take Hyun to the Korean school and I needed to go to the Korean art class in Enterprise. All of sudden, while on the way to home after class, I had a flat tire. But it didn't seem like I had it. First, I didn't feel any flat tire except the unusual sound that was from behind the car. Second, technically I didn't feel any unbalance of handling for a second. However, I pulled over to park the vehicle and eventually found that the tire had holes on the tire. Immediately I could asume that it was from the demaged tire not a from sharp objects such as nails. So I had to replace it with a spare tire that had been stored in the trunk for 11years. The problem with replacing it with the spare was that it was first time for me using tools inculding the spare tire. First ,like I expected the important tools; jack and handle got rust in it becasue it hasn't been used for 11 years. Second, the more bad thing I found was to realize that the spare tire didn't have enough tire air pressure to endure the weight of car. But at that time, I had no choice except driving ,so after replacing it I had to drive slowly as much as I could untill I got to the company. When I arrived at the company after 1 hour, I perciesly checked the amount of the tire air pressure and put the enough amount of air to 60 psi. Actually, It just had an around 4 psi. It apparently wasn't a good exprience for me to have it while on the road, however, ironically it must be good for me to have it instead, my wife had it. Otherwise she must be in trouble in the middle of nowhere till I get there for replaceing it. In addition, I had a chance of checking tools and spare tire in case of emergency.
