The importance of timing May 30, 2012 3 The importance of timing Yesterday I could be experienced the importance of timing. For this month, I should be on detached duty at Suwon far away from my hourse. When I use public transportation to go Suwon, it took a one hour and fourty minutes. But there is a commuter bus from Jamsil station to suwon and Jamsil station is a 10-minute bus ride from my hourse. When I use a commuter bus to go Suwon, it took a one hour and more cheaper but I have to arrive before 7:20 AM. Yesterday I was late just one minute and I had no choice but to see a last commuter bus leaving from me. If I can run like cheetah, I can ride that bus but I'm just human being. After that, I must use public transportation. When I waited a green signal at crosswalk, the bus that I must ride bypass me. So I should wait a next bus for fifteen minutes. At the next bus, there were so many people so I have to stand for one hour until arriving the Suwon. Finally, I was late for work about fifteen minutes. All of these experience was amazing. Just one minute. Because of lossing one minute on time, I have to pay amount of one hour. Everything have it's own timing. When I was young and went to high school, I lost the timing of study and I'm paying it three times. Timing.... It is one of the most important thing in our life.

Language Cast 25 May, 2012 2 Language Cast Yesterday, I partipated Language Cast Gangnam. It is one of the Meet up's meeting group. "Meet up" is a kind of SNS website. Organizer make a meet group about something he like. E.g. hiking, language, food, culture. And anyone who interest that meet group send RSVP and attend meet group. Sometimes I enjoy to meet new people in online like online chatting. But meet up is to meet new people in offline. Fact to face. It is still fun to me. I have been in meet up four times. Yesterday, I told with lovers. The boy was Canadian and girl was Korean. He was outgoing and she was beautiful. I wish lovers have happy ending and fun life. And I told with a Korean resident in America. He was handsome and said "I like DIABLO 3. I got full level of barbarian." I wish God bless him. :) At there, Because of my English, I became a little shy. When can I speake in English frequently? Whenever I go to meetup, I realize there are so many people have a diffrent way of thinking. The world is wide.

The balling Thr May 24, 2012 1 This is my first time to write my thought in English. I'm not good but I will try it and keep it. Yesterday, I enjoyed the balling with my co-worker. Sometimes there is event with myteam like it. My last time to play the balling was ... I can't remember. Five years ago? Anyway I can remember my average score was under 100. Haha Yesterday, I got my best score 104. The winner in that game got 170 point and he won a prize three of gift cards. After that game, I asked the winner. "Did you practice the balling occasionally?" "No, rarelly" "So how can you do well?" "I don't know" I felt the god is unfair. Finally I got one of gift card. Because I was the person from longest place for event. :)

Introducing myself. Hello everyone! Please let me introduce myself :) I'm Bryan and Korean. My age is 34 years old and I'm working as IT engineer especially Oracle DBA. When I went to middle school, I started learning English. I learned English alphabet, words, sentence, grammer except speaking and coversation. Becasue in those long-ago days, there are not a Skype and an italki.com. :) Anyway, I have not improved my speaking and conversation during 20 years. But in front of last year, my company gave to me mission impossible. That mission was teaching foreigner of begginer about Oracle database in English. I felt nervous and tried to practice English conversation with online English teacher. But every time when my teacher called me "Mr. Bryan~", I felt like "Mr. Andersen~" called by agency Smith in the movie, The Matrix. Finally, I found italki.com. I met good language exchange partner and could practice speaking and conversation. My skill was getting more good slowly. I accomplished my first lesson of Oracle database in English for two days and half a day. I archived second lesson for three days and half a day. And last one was for a day and a half. Through learning English with foreign friends have various nationality, I feel real interest and to learn English became to my hobby not study. And I realized how world is big, how many people are there,how small me and my thinking are. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of the people who make italki.com and help me learn English. Special thanks Carolyn, Kyle, Adrianne, Tania, Pamela, Mae, 문가인, MS friend, Kitty.

"Do you have the time?" How can I distinguish the watch or the real time?

"I'm going to school" How can I distingush real present or near future?
