Photo essay: Sweating
When you hear the word 'sweat', what comes up in you mind? Exercise? Hot weather? There are various situations and emotions people sweat.
Here are seven pictures. The first one is middle school baseball team, and the second one is Dojagi (traditional Korean dish) maker roasting Dojagi in Gama( stove). The third one is the kitchen on Sulnal, and the fourth one is Bulgenakma(red devil) in 2002. The fifth one is Girls generation praticing for their stage. The sixth one is Sobak mountain and the seventh one is archaeologists.

The sixth one is Sobak mountain and the seventh one is archaeologists.
Picture 1: Ansan JoogAng middle school baseball team
In some middle schools, including my middle school have baseball teams. For my school, they practice from after school(4:00) to 10:00 at night. They run around the play ground and practice for their own role. Everyday after school their yell fills the playground, and sound of balls beating the bats spread out. After some hours, they are all in sweat, and huff and puff. Practincing will be really hard, but they are sweating for their dream- to be a baseball player.
Picture 2: Dojagi maker
He is a Dojagi maker. A Dojagi is made with soil, and it need to be roasted in Gama to be hard. In the picture, do you see the red burning fire? The crackling sound of Dojagi being roasted will come out, and confronting the heat, Dojagi maker roast the Dojagi in Gama. Even though a Dojagi is made through the hard process, if a Dojagi is not good enough to satisfy the maker himself, he'll just break it down and make a new one. He is sweating to make a good Dojagi as an artist.
Picture 3: the kitchen on Sun nal holidays
This is the kitchen on Sulnal holidays. They are preparing for Sulnal's Jesa( traditional korean ceremony to honor the ancestors). For Jesa, they need a lot of food and when they start to cook, delicious smells fills the kitchen, sizzling sound comes out. In the past, cooking was only women's work. But today, all family members should participate in preparing for Sulnal, and the preparing, which was a hard work before is becoming an exciting time. In the picture they are laughing and look happy, don't they?

Picture 4: Bulgenakma(red devils)
You might know who they are, they are Bulgenakma! This is the picture taken during the 2002 worldcup. As Korea first went for semi-final, which still remains as legendary record, all Koreans came out to the square and cheered. Can you hear the cheering filling the square? Can you feel excitement and passion? They are sweating for the winning of Korea.

Picture 5: Girls generation practicing their dance
Girls generation is one of the top idol K-POP group in Korea. Their stage is really fabulous and many people admire their stage and beautiful appearance. But behind that, there are hard practices like in the picture. The song, step sounds, their singing fill the room. Don't you feel their passion in the picture? They're sweating for their stage and their dream.

Picture 6: Climing mountain
The blue vivid sky is beautful, and the green trees make wondeful harmony with the sky. The air might feel fresh and cool, it'll taste like mint candies. In this scenery, 4 people are hiking. Climing the mountain will be really hard, but they don't look just tired. Their steps look excited and light. They are sweating for beautiful scenery and the sense of accomplishment.

Picture 7: Archaeologist
Archaeologists might need many hard physical work as their work needs monuments to be extracted just like the picture. . There are many tools and the scent of soil and old monuments fill the space.Their shirts are wet with sweat, but they are just concentrating on their work. They are sweating for academic reasons, for historical research.
In the pictures, many people are sweating for various reasons. The reasons can be their dreams, family, art, their nation or academic research. How about you? What are you sweating for? What is you passion on? If you have something to sweat, I hope your sweating makes good results. If you don't, I hope you to find something to sweat and give you passion.

Movie review- the princess birde
Do you want to laugh out and have fun? Do you want a beautiful and impressive story? Do you want to be a good leader?
Then, here is a movie for you. The title is 'The princess bride'.
'the princess bride' poster
princess buttercup and Westley
prince Humperdinck
Inigo
The story is about the marriage of princess buttercup and prince Humperdinck. However, buttercup doesn't love Humperdinck at all. Her only, true lover is a farm boy, Westley who once left her away.
One day, buttercup goes to the forest riding a horse. Then suddenly, 3 men kidnaps her. They brings her to a cliff and there, they find a black mask man following them. The black mask man beats one of the 3 men, Inigo, ad also beats up other 2 men. Finally, he rescues the princess. Who is this mysterious, brave guy? He is Westley! Buttercup's true lover!
But the happinesss of reunion doesn't last long. Humperdinck's army find them. Buttercup decides to go back to the castle as the army promises to send Westley back safely to his place.
However, the army breaks the promise. They bring Westley to a secret place. There, Humperdinck tortured Westley, because Westley interfered his plan to marry with Buttercup and to kill her to start the war.
At this time, Inigo, who once fought with the black mask man(Westley) looks for Westley. One of the tasks in Inigo's life is to find out 6 fingered man and revenge him for killing his father. To accomplish this, Inigo needs Westley, who impressed Inigo for his fighting skills during the first battle . Finally, Inigo finds Westley and takes him out of the secret place. Then they launched to the plan to revenge for Inigo's father and to take Westley's true lover back.
A leader is very important person. They have a great power, and depending on how the leader uses the power, others' lives change. Humperdinck is the prince of the country. He has a strong power, and with this, Humperdinck tries to control others as he wants. He even triggers pain to the others for his personal achievement just like what he did to Buttercup and Westley. Obviously, he is not a good leader.
Inigo is a leader of the plan to revenge and save Buttercup. He knows exactly who is good at what, and accepts others' strong points. Based on these acknowledgements, he suceeds the plan.
A good leader, must consider the others and must not abuse their own power. A good leader should be modest and need to know the followers well. A leader can't do everything by himself or herself. They need others' help, and to get these helps, they also have to get other's belief and admiration. Considering these, I think Inigo is an example of the good leader.
The good leader, Inigo, impressed me in another way. At a cliff, the black mask man, Wetsley becomes in danger, as the rope he uses to climb up the cliff cut off. Indigogives Wetsley the new rope and when Wetsley reaches the top of the cliff, he even gives breaktime before they fight. Inigo could just let Wetsley to die on the cliff or start fighting when Wetsley is exhausted, but he doesn't.
Many times when we have to compete with someone, we consider the opposite as an enemy and just focus on winning. But there are more important things than winning. We have to respect the opposite and have a fair competition. At first, those things might seems to cause damages to us. But if we don't respect the opposite and have a fair competition, the result of the competition can't be accepted by the opposite, society, and importantly by ourselves, as we might feel guilty and ashamed.
'The princess bride' is really interesting, edifying movie. Through this movie, you will be excited, touched and will realize valuable lesson. Why don't you watch 'the princess bride' and have fun?

3. Library
This one is easy to guess, the library is my favorite place. First, I love to read. Especially for fantasy books, they are usually published in series, I can't buy them all. So I go to library and read all series in one day at one place. Second, I feel comfortable in the library. I think this is because in library, it's really quite and everyone is concentrating. When I have a lot of thoughts, I just go to the library and I can clear up my minds.
2.1
The number '1' shows where I live. I live in the first floor. So, I don't have to go up many stairs( we don't have an elevator in my apartment!!) and when I forgot to bring something, my family can hand it to me through the windows. But at night, I have to be worried about thieves a little, and people can see what I am doing in my house through the windows. But as convenience is bigger than bad points, I love my house.
hanlabong
Hanlabongs are kind of oranges come from Jeju island. So, is it my favorite fruit? No, it isn't. Guess what, it's my nickname!!! At first, my nickname was 'Dda-bong' because of my name 'Da-bin' and then it changed into 'Hanlabong' because those two had the same word , 'bong'. Hanlabongs are not only delicious, but also has very unique shape. I want to be someone unique and creative, so I love my nickname.
