[Late Review: Rain's special album-BACK TO THE BASIC]

-BACK TO THE BASIC-

"April 1st, Be ready for the return of the king, Rain!!!!!!!"

As i'm a big fan of Rain, I was so excited to hear this big news.
Fianlly, on the first day of April, Rain had comeback stage with his special album, "Back to the basic". It was so fresh, fantastic, and well-practiced. So I would like to review this album now.

The title of this album is "Back to the basic". Acording to Rain's interview, he chose this title by his own, meaning that he wants to remember the start so that he can appreciate what he has given so far from his fans. Therefore, this album is very meaningful for him since he can look back his 10 years on the stage as a singer.

This album contains 5songs. Actually, he didn't even plan to make an any album before going army. However, he decided to make special album for his fans suddenly. Therefore, this album has very few songs, but each of these songs have each specialty. The fives are following.

-널 붙잡을 노래

-Hip song

-One

-똑같아

-Love song(English ver.)

      The first song, 널 붙잡을 노래 is the title song of the album. But it is not same as other songs because Rain has joined a lot in producing lyrics and melodies. Especially, he said that the whole lyrics are his true love story that he had actually before. Also it has an English version, which has an English lyrics. The fifth one in the order, the love song is what i'm talking about.

And the performance of this song is very fresh. He wears a clothes like shining 갑옷, and he is having some costumes that seem like a woman such as 속눈썹 and there is a dance with the stick of microphone and he takes off his clothes and dances with his  복근 later on and this is what is the most surprising thing. Therefore Girls are 열광하다 to this. The second one, titled Hip song is very exciting song. Especially the dance is so funky. People cannot forget it after they saw this since it is so addictive and makes people to follow. The third and fourth are titled 'one' and '똑같아'. Since he didn't have any stage about this, we could only listen to it. 

       However, I think '널 붙잡을 노래' was too performing so that the song couldn't have much value as a song itself. Therefore, sometimes it made me boring listening to this without watching dance. Therefore, I would like to give it 4  stars out of five as a total.
★★★★☆

               

[Reflective Essay- FFT]

-For & From Them♥-

2010. 7. 21
The plane I was riding on took-off to India.

Arriving in India, the thing that welcomed me for the first was the atmosphere that was very heavy. Humid and hot air made me uncomfortable. Then I could finally realize that I came to India. No matter how I looked around, there were only group of people who had chocolate color skin, and clear double eyelid. Only FFT members were the people who had brighter skin color. It was little bit scared for me that there's no one who can protect me, however the other member of FFT were a big  dependence for me even though they were at my age or one or two years older than me.

Finally, I started to do voluteer work. What I did was education voluteering to Indian 2nd~3rd grader kids. Since I was confident at teaching someone, I wasn't nervous at all. But what made me staggered was thier eyes. When I firstly saw their eyes, I couldn't help stop connecting eyes with them. Their eyes were so bright and shiny. No matter how their clothes, skin, shoes, classrooms were dark, their eyes were still twinkling very beuatifully. I cannot forget it still now or maybe I won't be able to forget it forever. Therefore, I wasn't tired while doing volunteer working. However, I couldn't endure the hot atmosphere. It was very hot. When I finished teaching, sweat was running down at my face so that my T-shirt was wet enough by it. But what gave me an energy was them, lovely kids. They called me "auntie!!". Whenever I 'm thinking about them, that "auntie" sound is hovering around my ears still, with a big smile on my face.

4 days went so fast that my voluteer days ended up so quickly. During that 1 week, my body was very tired, but I always could smile though.

I got on a plane to comeback to Korea. Frankly speaking, I thought that what I gave to them was more than what I got from them. However, I realized that I was wrong. Looking back those days now, I can know that what I get from them is more than what I gave to them.

Having more money, eating fully, sleeping comfortably is nothing.

The skin color; whether it is black, yellow or white is not important.

 What is the most important is that we are just same so that we can communicate, love, think with each other.

-Inside My School Bag......-

My KMLA school bag is very tough so it never be ripped or be tore a hole. It can carry almost anything since it has huge possible capacity. So when I open it, I can find many different things such as books, pencils, notes. A book always gives me new knowledge and comes to me as a different emotion as it is my first time reading it. This could be the reason why people like to read books. A pencil's lead is easily broken however, what we need is just to trim again. If you trim the wood, you will be able to see the clean, new surface and also the new part of the lead which was connected with broken lead will appear. After sharpening the lead, you may use it now! 

[ Ted Video + SAT Words - Dan Gilbert ]

<Why Are We Happy??>

          I have a question to ask you.
          "Are you happy now?" If it is arduous for you to answer this question, then how about this one, "Do you think you will be happy after 10 years later?" There can be various answers however, the concise answer was already decided. The answer is "Yes". The questions that I asked could be seen facetious and fatuous, but it is not.

          I watched Dan Gilbert's video clip titled "Why are we happy?". I was very curious about the title because I have never thought about the reason why am I happy, or even am I happy now. So I just clicked on it right away. However, before I start to review, I found out a trivial but very important fact from its title. "Why are we happy" this sentence itself has an another intention. It tells that we are already happy. Thinking about the reason is the next step of being happy. To abridge the theme of this video, this is what Dan wanted to say to us, adherent . To say again, he wanted to say that we should not waste our time on worrying about our future will be happy or not, because people naturally has a characteristic to be happy at any kind of given environment, ambience or milieu. Therefore, we will be happy anyway in the future so we had better think brightly instead of being apprehensive. This lecture came to me as a little shock but it was interesting enough. "People will be happy anyway. People has natural characteristic(like an intrinsic property) to make themselves happy anyway" This arcane research made me very interested and I could assimilate this, in the last. He was cogent enough. He also gave us many kinds of experiments to corroborate his argument. Those were empirical.

          To augment my thoughts, I tried to relate the theme of this lecture to the book that I have read before. The title of the book is "Secret". The book is mainly talking about the "law of attraction". You might think it is ecceentric or histrionic but actually, this is the chronic law of universe. If you have something to achieve or want to have, just be ardent about it and wishing strongly. Then, it will be exactly achieved as if you conjured. Everybody has enough potential and possibilities for achieving what they want and wish. Therefore, as Dan said, we had better believe ourselves rather than worry and be ardent about what we want and achieve. Then, I'm sure that you or we will become the happiest person. Just be happy! Never be morose!
