Obituary: Kim Dae-jung, the 15th president of Republic of Korea (South Korea)

noreply@blogger.com (지호 | Ji-Ho | 志浩) — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 03:41:37 PDT

He might be killed at 1973 or 1981.
However, he has just closed his eyes peacefully at today afternoon.

Over death threat, he has been the symbol of Democracy and Peace in Korea.

Rest in Peace, Kim Dae-jung, the 15th president of Republic of Korea

Mourning of a politician in South Korea.

noreply@blogger.com (지호 | Ji-Ho | 志浩) — Thu, 28 May 2009 05:03:13 PDT

I remember the moment when Barack Obama announce his winning speech at a park in Chicago…

This scene was linked the dramatic moment in South Korea in 2002.

The moment, when the 16th President of Republic of Korea was elected, was very similar than what happened in the USA in 2008.

Late Roo Moo-Hyun, who was the 16th president of Republic of Korea (South Korea).

He was the symbol of democracy and moderate liberal politics in South Korea.

Unbelievable death…

Actually, he committed suicide but it is believed that Political Revenge culture from politicians, polices, prosecutors and media gave the motivation of his suicide.

Former S. Korea President Roh commits suicide

On the political murder of Roh

(From The Hankyoreh)

Lee Myung-bak’s Political Revenge Killed Roh Moo-Hyun

My Tribute to Roh Moo-hyun

(From OhmyNews International)

He asked “Don’t be sad” to his family and colleagues on the last letter, which was written before he died.

However, they and majority Korean cannot accept his last request.

South Korea has not changed what he want…

Rest in Peace dear the foolishness politician, who is admired and mourned by majority people.

(Post Before travel to London, which might be the sadness trip)

South Korean Baseball Team, I’m proud of you

noreply@blogger.com (지호 | Ji-Ho | 志浩) — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 23:35:09 PDT

Beijing Olympics…

Their gold medal was miracle…

Anyone did not expect they get gold but they did.

World Baseball Classic…

Korea was out at semi-final in ‘06 WBC…

After 4 years, today, ‘09 WBC

Preparing period was seriously challengeable time for Korean Baseball team.

Anyone did not want to be manager (It might be the effect from Olympics)

In addition, It was hard to make squad because some of important players, who are in overseas league, did not enter the team (by their own decision and problems).

Just one Japan Pro League player and Just one Major League (US) player… That’s all… Other players are in Korean Pro League players.

Therefore, It was expected Korean Baseball team is out at Second rounds.

(WBC – 1st round –> 2nd round –> Finals)

However, today…

They standed the pitch, the grand final of WBC ‘09 and faced Japan, rival of rival for long long time.

The result was….

Japan 5 Korea 3

Yes, we lose the match.

However, Korea baseball team did as they can.

Especially, at 9th Bottom…

When Everyone expected ‘Yes, it’s the end’.

They made a point so the result was draw.

(Japan 3 Korea 3)

Even they lose, I celebrate they hardest journey.

They beaten Taipei China (Taiwan), China, Mexico, Venezuela and Japan (two times).

It could be impossible journey for them.

Well done, after 4 years, I believe Korea could be the top of world baseball teams.

Thanks and I’m proud of you

Korean Baseball Team

(P.S.) I wish Double Elimination rule should be dropped from next WBC. How many Korea and Japan matches were in ‘09 WBC. It’s five times (1R 2, 2R 2 and final 1). Is it reasonable schedule?

Are you happy with Fox to Heart?

noreply@blogger.com (지호 | Ji-Ho | 志浩) — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 14:32:31 PST

When I enjoy tweeting

I knew this new article via @106jackfm

Radio star can't wait to hit county's airwaves (From Oxford Mail)

This Oxford Mail article introduced a new presenter, who will present his radio show on Heart Oxfordshire.

As you might know, Fox FM is replacing to Heart Oxfordshire. From 23rd March, FOX FM will be remained to Oxfordshire people’s memories.

The reason of Heart Oxfordshire launching is GCap, formal owner of Fox FM, Xfm, Capital Radio (London), Classic FM and Etc., was merged with Global Radio, which is owner of Heart. After merger, Global Radio decided that One network, which were local radio stations brand of GCap (Included Fox FM), replace to Heart Network. So, we will hear Heart Oxfordshire on FM 102.6 and 97.4.

When I read Oxford Mail’s reader comments. I feel lots of people worry about they might lose one of local radio station. I am not sure how Heart Oxfordshire manage the time slots between local production and London HQ production.

I know some of my mates dislike Fox FM because music choice, present style, news value and Etc…

By the way, do you expect Heart solves these problems?

By the Way, other Oxfordshire commercial radio station, 106 Jack FM and Oxford’s FM 1079 are owned by Absolute Radio, which was Virgin Radio. However, I think these station are not effected from Absolute Radio and concentrate to local audience. Do you think Heart need to be localised as other local commercial stations or to broadcast as nationalised station ? (Which mean Heart Oxon broadcasts more Heart London programmes)

By the way, I just wait new ear of Oxfordshire commercial radio.

(P.S.) When Oxfordshire local radio launch DAB? FM signal of my house is too poor. Especially, I cannot listen Oxford’s FM 1079 because it has too noisy signal. However, I do not have any problem when I listen DAB station. I am looking forward to hear Oxford local stations on DAB.

I wonder to introduce this cartoon

Wait and Wait and Wait but…

noreply@blogger.com (지호 | Ji-Ho | 志浩) — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 15:13:40 PST

Unexpected luck…
As this Video.

Yes, Snow in Desert… It is one of unexpected luck.
I might have a same kind of unexpected luck.
It didn’t happen.

I should do Work Placement for attending Honours module.
Last summer, I didn’t find it so I have been looking for work placement, which is able to on this winter.

Last November, I applied to one large organisation, which is located on London by the internet.
My application… It is so rubbish.

Anyway… After a month…
When I challenged lots (??) of assignments,
I heard one of Oxford local organisations provides work placement.
Also,I applied it again and had got meeting on last Tuesday.

Last Monday, I have an voice mail on my mobile phone.
That message was came from London organisation, which I applied on last month.
She, who called to me, asked to call back for discussing my work placement application.

It was surprised from this message, I did not expect they contact me.

However from Tuesday…

I had meeting with the administer of Oxford organisation.
When the administer asked “Could you tell me about you?”

Yes, it is very very very basic question.
However, I found my answer was so dump.
Repeat, Repeat and Repeat.
I did not give ant impression comments to the administer.

In addition, when he asked “What kinds of work placement I want to do?”…
Oh my god… How do I answered it?
Yes… Dummy, Dummy and Dummy.

I just expected to do what they ask.
However, I never expected I might say what I want to do for work placement.

Yes, it the alarm alert of disaster.

In addition, I said I have got contact from London organisation. (Suicide…)

I tried to promote me as possible and the administer said just now they did not have place so they will contact me on March. I hope to get contact to them again.

Ok… It was last Tuesday nightmare.
However, Last Wednesday…
Finally, I’ve got call from London organisation.

Also, the caller asked same question as the day before.
“What do you want to do?”…
Also, I answered as a dummy.

The phone was not longer than I expected.
I did to introduce me and answered what this organisation provides which kinds of work placement.
It was nice for me but they might do not feel my interesting.

The caller said if they are accept me, I might received the call on today.

I wait… However, the phone hasn’t rang.

Shame….

Yes, the unexpected luck…
It did not happen for me.

'£51 a month'?
Oh... It's unreasonable.

I used to drink…

noreply@blogger.com (지호 | Ji-Ho | 志浩) — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 08:06:49 PST

Last month

France24 reported very interesting topic.

Huesik: Korean for binge drinking (English)

Après le boulot, le goulot (French)

Yes, It was my night culture.

When I went to Korean College, I should go to Hue-Sik every day. (Hey.. When I went to college, I was over 20!)

“Drink Soju as water”

This sentence might be describe my drinking behaviour.

By the Way, do you know what is Soju?

Merriam-Webster’s Online Dictionary describe it as…

Korean vodka distilled from rice

A blogger describes it is the best-selling booze in the world. Yes, if you are in Korea, you will drink wine and vodka very rarely. Instead of, you will see this lovely green bottles (Colour of Soju bottle) every where.

As This picture

My favourite Soju is Cham-Isel, which is contain 20.1% of alcohol.

Recently, some new Soju brands have been introduced and most of them contains less alcohol than Cham-Isel. I have an opportunity to drink one of these brand. It was my react.

“ What’s it? Is it water? ”

However, I might not drink this Soju, Jinro Gold, which contains 25% alcohol.

If I drink this bottle, I might feel my throat and tongue is burned.

By the Way, I used to drink one to two bottles of Soju everyday. Sometimes, I drunk until cannot recognise every thing. (Yes, typical symptom of Binge Drinking) Also, I suffered hang over every morning (?).

However, I cannot drink as when I was young. Also, when I met my friend in Korea, they drunk small amount of alcohol. Hu… Yes, It means I am older and older now.

Recently, I have seen lots of party photos on facebook. When I was young, Club was not my favourite space because I do not have enough money for entertain there. Yes, I never have been clubs in Korea.

Usually, I drink beer at some restaurants or pubs, we called HOF. You might think I drunk as luxury restaurants but there is not luxury and I cannot find adapt words where explain where I drink. The similar words is pubs but there is different pubs.

Anyway, I envy them, who post their amuse photos in clubs on facebook or other sites. Ah… Feel so alone.
