College admission Anybody who's currently a Korean high school senior or had been one will understand that it's virtually impossible to do ANYTHING else than doing school courseworks and studying for 수능. I knew that, even before going to high school and as years past, from sophomore to junior, it came across more vividly. And now, as I'm typing this(virtually whining) so maybe someone will read it and save my soul, sympathize and console me, I can just feel that I'm wasting my time. Well, maybe it's not that much of a wasting. Maybe the admission office might find this notebook entry doing background evaluation. (Hey there.) so.. yeah

usage of abbreviation in general context Is using abbreviations(like I am to I'm) in a general context(or writing situation) usually perceived as being 'unprofessional'?? Thanks.

May the peace be with humanity.. Things have never been worse than right now, at least that's how things are in Korean peninsula. After NK's 3rd long-range missile launch, things got really ugly here in Korea. And about a week ago, the last string connecting NK and SK, the 'gae-seong Industrial Complex' has been officially shut down, all the SK employees were banished and currently the entire facility and the area are confiscated by NK army. Even during several localized military conflicts and the most serious disputes, this kind of action never took place in the Korean peninsula-as the shutdown nominally indicates war declaration, and nobody really knows what NK might do next. Four U.S. F-22 raptors were deployed in SK and Eastern sea today as an emergency precaution against NK's military actions. Meanwhile, China's furious about Korean government discussing the deployment of mid-long range anti-ballistic missile in SK. Except they're much more rational and can be reasoned with logics, China's being uncomfortable about Korea means a lot as that of NK does. Should NK begin the war-which is highly probable in the current situation-, no one really knows which side China would choose. Please. WW2 was over since few decades ago. tens of millions of people died in that war, and this stupid USSR/Socialism vs NATO/capitalism aspect of international conflict should be done with already. Why would anybody want waaarrr!!! We're all going to go extinct in a few decade anyway, we're running out of petrol and energy! The globe must unite and work out together as an ally and a team to work out the problems, not fight each other till the deadly end comes. I hate no specific country nor religion, but one thing's for sure-I despise those who commit disputes and conflicts between people for their own interests or under narrow-minded autocratic perspective. Oh why can't we all live in peace... I don't want to see the end of the world in the middle of WW3. That should be the worst thing that can ever happen to mankind.

Do or Do Not, there is no TRY. what do you think??

This is Master Yoda's legendary quote from Star Wars:The Empire strikes back. (like you don't love Star Wars)

Personally, I always think one should not aim for perfection nor being the 'best' in the field when one determines and considers getting involved in that particular..um..subject. 

Apparently, Yoda thinks doing one's best just isn't enough-but one should be determined to accomplish something entirely when he/she decides to 'Do" it. 

Begin the discussion, we will. (smooth)

Aced it. A small chance to express yourself out to the world isn't something that comes to you everyday. This gig the school managed to arrange for the first grade students gave me the very opportunity to finally show them off my amazing speech techniques! Yay for me. I'm not trying to be cocky, it's not me! Really! It's the environment I'm in that rendered me to a monster craving for any public opportunities to show myself out. No highschool students of Korea ever get a chance to do anything other than studying. Wait, did I say studying? I meant suffering oneself unwillingly. Anyhow, this contest is supposed to be called: The Munseong Dream Festival. (Munseong is the name of my school.) Of course, NOBODY believed that it was an actual Dream-Festival. Beh. A dream festival? Does that even make sense anyway? It was a quickly improvised contest, I could smell that. Still, as it was as much as anybody was going to get, I had to make the best of it, now didn't I? So, what did I have to talk about? Well, I have a confession to make. I LOVE CARS. I love those adorable yet magnificent creations. I've admired them from my childhood, and since my first ride in the pearl-gray Porsche 993 at my age 11, car was the one and only thing I truly loved. Obviously, my one and only future dream job is an Automotive dynamics engineer (or, for short, the Engie.) I created a short, well, relative short Prezi presentation file for a 8 minute speech, which later turned out to be an 11 minute speech. It wasn't half bad. I put some fancy transition effects and my hand-drawn clip arts and stuff.. It was a pretty good one, if I may. So I marched up to the stage, took the remote controller handed to me, and proudly announced "Hello, ladies and gents. It is my great honor to present to you... Uranus." FYI, the presentation was half Korean and half English, so I'm pretty sure it 'loosened up' the stricken air a bit. That was definitely a good start. At the end, I bowed, stood up again, and.. returned to the photo of Uranus. Applauded enthusiastically by the audiences, I walked down the stage with a satisfying grin and sat down back on my seat. The next day was the review and the result. Yes, I aced it. First prize was a brand new Lenovo notebook. Although it WAS brand new, it was no better than a bare naked chromebook. lol (I once said that thing about cars to by girlfriend. She suddenly blushed angrily and kicked me on my knees. Oh, old days. )

Can you revise this short definition I wrote? I read another person's notes that asked me the true meaning of love to me, and I suddenly got this drive to somehow compose a professional scientific kind of definition by myself :) I know, it's geeky. Anyway, this is what I managed to come up with: ' A biochemical mechanism within the human brain which involves the fluctuations of hormones and body metabolism, thus occasionally occurring the abrupt actions or in general, altering oneself's way of perceiving environmental stimulus? ' As my major purpose of signing up here was to improve my English skills in a professional field of science, you know, like writing essays and reports, I really hope I can get some real good help with this one. :) Any corrections, both about grammatical errors or poor vocabulary choice, are sincerely welcome :)

what happened to me today? seriously? Well, as it is a first memo I post here publicly, I thought I'd write about something more sophisticated or intricate, and yet this amusing online service suggests me to write about something that happened to me today. Fine, I'll give in. Wait, No.
