College Days

English blog:

College days has past and it has been spectacular! The shows like Pintig, LUSH, and Luminaria was a blast! Great booths were added up, and lots of food stalls to be found around the grade school covered court. Interbatch games, bath lounge, singing contests and more were brought to us to let the college days fun continue! I personally love college days, it brings me joy and it relieves me from all the academic works given to us. Each year the rides get more fun and the food gets more tasty! Gold standard for example showed there hard work, and there delicious food to lots of people! Each and every year we get older, and college days becomes a memory for us of our fun moment with our friends, teachers and fellow batchmates! I cant wait to see in whats instore for the next college days to come!

Know more Culture to Appreciate more

          As a Korean I want to introduce our culture to the foreigners that might visit Korea in the future. I want to introduce some of our culture.

Hanbok

          Hanbok is Korean nation cloth made of fabric and silk. History of hanbok started since BC 37. It is made of many different colors of silk to make the cloth more beautiful. Many people 

compared Hanbok to rainbow, because of the colors. Designs of Hanbok have changed over time

16th century (free size) = It has long sleeves, and its loose style. It was made loose so that anyone can fit in the cloth. It was also made big to show the wealth.

17th century (fit size) = At this time they made Hanbok fit to the size of the owner. The size of the top became shorter and sides became narrow and skirt became more fit to the body.

18th century (tight size) = Hanbok was made tight to show the body line of the woman wearing.

19~20th centuries (exposed) = It is the modern style it is made to emphasize the beautiful body of woman. Top became shorter, and it is easier to wear and to take off than before.

Language

                 Korea has clear history of our language. It was made on 1446 by Great king Sejong. Before we had our own language we used Chinese characters, but Chinese characters were only taught to the high class people, and does who had money. King Sejong took pity on the people and made language that has 17 consonants and 11 vowels and named it Hun-min-jung-um, it means “the right sound that teaches the people”l. Hun-min-jung-u totally changed the life of people. It was easy to learn, to teach, and to express one’s thoughts. So we called king Sejung the great king Sejong.

Football is a team sport and one of the most famous sport in the world. I have been playing for the CSA football team ever since i started. Football for me is not just a sport it's a passion whenever i step on the pitch i always have a smile on my face cause i know that this is the right thing i am doing, I have been playing football for 5 years now and i still can't get enough of it. From the first time i touched a football when i was grade 6 this sport has still been my favorite. This sport has also helped get my health back on track, As i played i gained more and more wait to the point that i could not even last for a full game. Until i realized i had to make a change and that changed has benefited me greatly. this sport has brought me far in my life playing football , This sport has taught me the value of teamwork and has brought me allot of new friends.
