People will never able to live up to their dreams since human's greed is unlimited. Just like we can't keep filling up a cup full of water, we can never be perfect.

Other's blog that im interested in
http://worldwildlife.org/
WWF
http://worldwildlife.org/about
“For conservation to last, the integration and interconnectedness of WWF’s approaches must be of equal measure to those of nature and to the forces that threaten our future.”
This is the blog about saving wild animals which are threatened by mankind made pollution. I was always interested on these type of issues since when I was in elementary school. My TV in Korea had American channel 'Animal Planet' which I could learn lots of things about animals and threats towards wild animals. I'm glad that I could finally find my interest. I think when I become rich, I will use large part of my money on saving wild animals.
This blog insists mankind should protect wild animals like giant pandas and tigers. In my opinion, I think this company is one of the few environmental company which actually use their donated money to save wildlife. However, I will not donate single coin because I don't trust anything unless I physically see the actual H.Q. and CEO and have a chat with him.

Our Vision for the Future
We seek to save a planet, a world of life. Reconciling the needs of human beings and the needs of others that share the Earth, we seek to practice conservation that is humane in the broadest sense. We seek to instill in people everywhere a discriminating, yet unabashed, reverence for nature and to balance that reverence with a profound belief in human possibilities. From the smallest community to the largest multinational organization, we seek to inspire others who can advance the cause of conservation.
We seek to be the voice for those creatures who have no voice. We speak for their future. We seek to apply the wealth of our talents, knowledge, and passion to making the world wealthier in life, in spirit, and in living wonder of nature.

Othello and reality
In the play Othello, racism and marriage between
different races is the main issue. Othello’s background is around early modern period
which many people had some prejudice about difference of races, however, this
conflict still little bit remains in current period. For examples of occasion Asian
family tradition, some Asian people don’t like to marry with other people with
different race or nationality. We consider other races like black and white
could ruin our family line and cause the disaster by anger our ancients. This means
if I have strong family with strong prejudice on other races, I could still
marry white woman but my families would not agree on marring foreigner. It doesn’t
matter if they would agree or not. Because the Korean government has changed
the law on marriage problems and personal decisions that family members can’t
intercept. It is true that this problem has been reduced greatly. If Othello was
born in current era, he would not have any problem marrying white woman like Desdemona
since Europeans doesn’t have or have tiny amount of racism left. Also, racisms
in European continent now are highly against the law so no one can disturb Othello’s
marriage. In fact, people like Iago will use different type of persuasion
because if Iago is in this era, convincing Othello by making him jealous because
of racism. What people like Iago would use for the persuasion is by making
their opponent jealous by how rich their opponents are and what are their
opponent’s jobs because in this current era, having money means having power
and everything that they could possibly want. I think current era has big
conflict because having wealth became the major bonus when we can meet our
lovers since we cannot find the true love that can ignore everything including
wealth.

Holiday
My family doesn't celebrate any holidays.
It was very shame for me since I had to envy my friend’s families. However,
there was one time that my family actually celebrates the New Year. We went
over my cousin’s house and ate Korean traditional food like 떡국. When we went my
cousin’s house, everything looked very strange since my families don’t like to
meet other members of our distinguished family. I asked my father about our
families’ strangeness. Since I was like six years old back then, so my father didn't told me exact answer. However, now that I think of it, I think because back in
the 1970’s when my father had to leave his family and go to Seoul (Capital city
of South Korea) for great opportunity, he didn't had many chances to go to
family meeting. Like twenty years later he had many chances to go to family meeting.
However, he didn't go because it is true that we feel strange when we meet some
people whom we haven’t met for long time. Since then, my father avoids to go to
family meeting because he doesn't want to stay in strangeness. I still feel
little bad about how my parents don’t like to cooperate with our distinguished
loyal Korean family. Perhaps, when I grow up, I will spend more time on making
my family glorious and honorable.
The traditional Korean soup 떡국 which I had to eat during the celebration of New Year in Korea.

Banana slicer review
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0047E0EII/ref=cm_cr_error
This is the banana slicer which is not very useful. It is too expensive for this piece of plastic and to be honest, I would rather spend my $1.29 on buying a candy. This product shows us the unfortunate side of mankind's lacking creativity. The reason I want to call this as useless is because this product has many variable of failing and just ruin your banana.
First, there is problem of fitting the banana on this tool. Just like everything in the world are different and has it's own feature, there are small banana, big banana, curved banana and straight banana. What if your banana is bigger than this tool or curved too much so it doesn't fit?
Second, this product can smash your banana instead of cutting them in pieces perfectly. As we can see, this product is made out of plastic. Unless the blades are made out of steel or harder material, it won't cut the banana in to pieces without any fragments.
For the last, this product is designed to be easy. However, it will not be so easy to clean after you slice your banana. You will have to clean every single blades.

Time to look back
Time to look back
When I look back on the work I did, I become really honest. I personally never liked Mr. Parsons. Mr. Parsons is one of the kindest Americans I have ever met. However, I never liked him for some reasons. Mr. Parsons has some sort of kindness that I really don't like. Also, he is little bit different than kind Americans who like to stab others in the back. I think because Mr. Parsons is kind of wired person, I liked to be friendly with Mr. Parsons. To be honest, I didn't really put a lot of work on my blog. I usually play game during the class. When my grade goes down, I go to Mr. Parsons and work with him for whole day. From last year, I didn't really care about my grades. All I wanted to get was B or C. Now that I have to review my work and look back, I feel very sad that I actually don't have any interesting posts. I regret not doing any work during the class and avoiding lessons by sleeping in the nurse. From now on, I promise to my self that I will do better during Mr. Parsons class.
Best blog post I have
Mini Othello
I personally like this blog post because I put two hours on this one. In order to show some Asian culture in my story, I even put some Asian traditional Martial arts like Kung fu on the story. Also, I used Asian names and changed the background of the story (Like tea cafe instead Starbucks.)
Looking at other people's blog
Adam and I were known each other for almost four years. Since 8th grade, I knew Adam and I found out Adam is harmless person. I like Adam's honesty and self-defensiveness. In my point of view, Adam is one of the strongest man because he know how to stand up for him self. I highly recommend Adam to be something like U.S. marine or honorable Cowboy. Anyway, I read my old friend Adam's blog. To be honest, I hate his blog. I know hate is very strong word, but I have to use it in order to describe my feeling. I don't like how he chose the design and headline. However, I think he did better job than I did. For example, When I saw one of his blog post 'Gordie Learns To Grow Up', I could see he spent like two hours on creating his post. I respect Adam's persistence attitude toward getting A on Mr. Parsons' class. Also, when I overlooked Adam's blog, I found out he is very different than some lazy people (including some Asians and Americans) who don't like to work.After I overlooked Adam's blog, I found out I shouldn't recognize Americans as anything bad because everyone is different. Adam's blog help me to remove negative thoughts about Americans. However, I still believe I shouldn't be very friendly with Americans because I don't like to trust their friendly habits.
