HIGHRISE: Where I was Embarrassed

   Money. Many people have money as their goal of life. They want more money, and they think money is happiness in their life. Well, I had a similar idea about happiness. But after researching about David's life I was very ashamed. His world was not like mine. He lives in Alamar in Cuba, which was built by prisoners. It has crooked walls, and no pipes.
   David lives in Cuba. Out his window he sees not just seas or trees or people. He sees restrictions, enforcements, and the hidden culture of Cuba. He sees people suffocating because of money and he sees cultures breaking down because of restrictions. By looking out the window he feels anger and wants his freedom back. On the other hand I see other buildings. I see happiness and busy people wanting more money. I feel warm that I am alive here. I see the warm and happy future waiting for me and calling me to come quickly. I see the protection from the government and the society. I see the white snow purifying my soul. I see a happier life and a more comfortable life compared to David's life and environment.
   David's country, Cuba has a communist style of governing, not like Korea. They cannot do what they want and they restricted small festivals, so many people like David is fighting back. In his country he cannot do anything he wants to do and he can't enjoy his life. On the other hand our country Korea has a democratic governing method. We get deserved and we have freedom. We can enjoy out life and we can make memories and we can eat and enjoy and rest.
   HIGHRISE. I didn't know about it before. Before, I believed money is the most important thing in world, and thought I was a very unlucky boy. But after seeing David's life, I felt ashamed. I thought I should not complain about what I don't have. I think I should be satisfied with what I already have

Ode: Dear iPod~~(my iPod's name is 2NE1 so don't get confused~~)

Dear 2NE1

how I felt when I first met you

shining, and glorious,

it was the happiest moment in my life

you were very glorious.

since you were my first iPod,

I thought I will love you forever

you were just wonderful

as if you were trying to make me crazy

you were the joy in my life

whenever I am sad, your songs cheered me up,

whenever I was bored your games was like a drug

without you I thought

there was no life

and there was no world

whenever I couldn't have you in my hands, I felt lonely

whenever I wasn't with you, I was bored.

without you I was a soulless body
to help you be free
I jailbreaked you not considering the side effects
because you are free I loved you more
no more restrictions from the Apple

once when I loved you too much,
mother, who was worried about me
took you away.
at that time I lost half of my soul 

oh, oh what should I do

without you, I have no joy

without you, I can't breathe.
you are my soul,
true from my heart

if you die, what should I do

even with a new friend,
I will not be able to love it like you
I will not be able to make memories like with you

Dear 2NE1 what should I do without you.
please comeback to me, my little girl.

My Cool Grandparents

My grandparents just came to visit me and my family. They do different things for fun than kids do. I like to hang out with my friends at Cookie Store, but my grandparents like tofart at Cookie Store. Do anyone else's grandparents like to do that?

Both of my grandparents are really cool. They like to wear underwear that look just like something Steve Jobs would wear. We talk about the latest movies, music, and TV shows. I really like Iron Man 2, and my grandma said she does too. Her favorite actress is Emma Watson! I can't believe how cool my grandma is!

And my grandpa is just as cool. We talk about Jackson Five all the time! He knows all their music. He even owns ABC. He said that the next time Jackson Five come to Seoulfor a concert, he'll take me! I can hardly wait. He'll be the coolest grandpa at the Jackson Five concert, and I'll be so happy to be there with him
