English diary by a Korean #5 - what is my Ideal type
I know no one cares about my ideal type but after reading this I hope you could start thinking of yours:)
I also have started thinking of this after hearing same question while listen to a radio. So for me I would suggest 3 things which I hope my future partner to have.
At first I would go my partner has same indoor and outdoor hobbies as mine. I always think it will be nice if we could spend time together on weekends or holidays. For me I wish my partner will like playing or watching sports as I am so into sports. I also sometimes imagine we and our child play some ball things together in the park. And having a same indoor hobby is also nice for the rainy day. I don't have specific preference for indoor thing so it could be what she likes sort of watching film, weaving(I doubt) or whatever.
Secondly, I want my partner to have same sense of humor as me. I like cracking jokes but very often it is not fun at all to someone. The funny thing I realised is one person who doesn't laugh at once never make a smile on my jokes so that it makes me embarassed. I know it is quite diffcult but I just hope my partner could be making a smile and happy as when people smiled to my jokes it make me feel like flying.
Third thing is having same priorities in life. For some people making money to have their own house is more important rather than spending more time with family with less salary. No one can blame each person's priority but I hope at least my partner has same priority in mind.
So which is important to you to make someone be perfect with you? How could you describe your perfect partner?

English diary by Korean #4 - How we celebrate the Christmas
Apparently New year is coming and It means so is most greetful day, Christmas!
To be honest, Christmas day in Korea is not that big celebration day. (Some people might not agree with it)
But I can surely say we celebrate this day less than what English do. Here in England I saw shop or house being decorated with Christmas stuffs from end of October and people start refrering that day and look forward so much!! The reason I chose this topic for diary is also I talked about christmas with friends today:)
In Korea, Christmas is more like couple things. Normally they are thinking of going to cinema at first. So to get cinema tickets on Christmas, people have to book those quite earlier. And then they might have a nice meal in nice restaurant so they need to book it as well. This might be similar to many countries but as we can see on the HOME ALONE I think for people in Europe or America, Christmas is more family thing.
Anyway as we normally celebrate christmas with partner, poor person who doesn't have own partner they might 'watch home alone eating oranges'. This quote is often used for describing person who spend that day on his own.
FYI - some people have wondered what our family day is. I can say New Year(in English they refer it as Chinese New Year but actually New Year day in Luna calender) and Thanks giving day.

#3 It wasn't always as hard as I thought it was
Baking and Using a oven was, I had always thought, not my things. It seems like it needs loads of skills to use it.
But from last weekend it changed.
Community, I belong to, had a open day on Sat. I, as a resdient in there, was also to take part in and I took over running the pop-up cafe. So I was needed to bake some cakes. It was my very first time to use a oven. Well, actually I would use it to make roasted pork but not for baking. Anyway I looked over all baking books and choosed to make a Chocolate Brownies as It looked the easiest one:(
I started making it after lunch using cocoa powder, flour, of course, sugar and so on. When I put the dough on the baking tray I could feel I just spoiled. Anyway I put them in the oven and had to wait. In the mean time, I thought 'Do I need to go to the Sainsbury's or Waitrose for buying cakes and pretend that I baked that one?' But I saw the baked brownies after 40mins, I shouted with a big joy!! I maed it ! It seems very okay and tastes jolly good!
And on the long-waited Sat, cakes are all sold!!
Sometimes before us trying something it seems so complicated and we felt scary to try it. But after trying it turns out we could manage it.

#2 Diary -----------Saving private Squrriel
Well I said "I will keep writing my diary" a week ago but this is my second one. ;;;;
Anyway I just want to share my experience which is most interesting things last one week.
When on my way to Gym I came across a dead squrriel in the road. When I first noticed that I was grasped but jsut ignored.
But after trying to proceed my way, all of sudden, I felt something bad myself. It definitely seems that it wasn't my fault the squrriel died but at the same time it was fault of other person. I don't know why I thought of that kind of things but I just felt inside my self 'I should put him away from the road!!' So it got started.
The biggest problem was I hate touching, maybe scared, animal apart from insect. So first of all I need to find tools for lifting them so I looking for some branch as the other side of the road is forest. Anyway using a branch I could pick him up and tried to move him to the forest. Unexpectedly the squrriel was so heavy that the branch was broken and I could find no more proper branches. It seems I must have used my bare hand, OH MY GOD. A million thougts raced through my mind 'It will be okay if I just leave him on the footway as at least he isn't on the road so on' and that moment I could notice the used National Express ticket it in my bag. Thanks to God and Coach.
Well after putting him in the forst I can carry on my journey to the gym.
YOOOOHOOO

Daily diary #1 "Woder plan"
Well.. I am think of writing daily diary everyday, hopefully:)
Because today friend of mine ask me to polish his English writing as I am living in UK at this moment.
As it's been almost an year since I lived in UK I have been thinking inside myself 'my English is fine' in that I can communicate with English people. But I also knew I always use same words and sentences like "How are you" and so on but I just don't want to accept that fact becuase accepting that provokes me feeling bad in that My English is not getting better.
Anyway when I am struggling with elaborating my friend's writing I thought I also need to practice writting in English.
So I plan to write my daily diary on here and really hope I am keeping it more than 3days.

HEY FOLKS. I am kind of newby here but it looks like very interesting as i can meet many people
HEY FOLKS. I am kind of newby here but it looks like very interesting as i can meet many people from every diffrent countries. I want to brush up my English speaking skill. IN korea, we've learning english from primary school but focusing on reading and grammar so I am sure most of korean people have pride in reading and grammar(feel nervous if i have a grammar error till now) but we are POOR at speaking english. SO it would be nice if i find language exchange friends for speaking:)
