A Steady Pilot

When he was childhood, he like reading books especially he likes story of Wilbur Wright and Orville Wright, who they were the first persons who want fly on the sky and made airplane. At first time, the brothers were made wings to attach their shoulder and ran but their trial was useless to fly.
But they never gave up to fly on the sky. When they saw flying birds and eagle, really they want fly. After they watched the birds immediately they got on the roof and they left the roof with spread their wings of course they fell down and their legs were broken. Mother called doctor let them to cure their legs. Father angered to them and mother.

So many try again and again in their whole life, they were made 100 times wings and 200 times made airplane shape.

Uwhm ! “Now I know how airplane made at beginning in the world he said own self.” If I will pilot, then I will fly on the sky my whole life. Mommy when I grow up, I will be a pilot. And I will go to Asia, Philippine, Japan, Korea, Europe, and Hong Kong Disney Land. Then I will buy gifts for you Mommy. Okay sweet honey but be careful! You read many books for that a wise man and pilot. Mommy said.

This morning as he is going to pilot, his wife called him “Honey I love you! Take care today!” Okay honey! I love you too. When he was piloting above the river, airplane hit the birds, immediately he know that engine had problem, the airplane could not go on the flying continually, the moment he thoughts mother’s advice and remembered Wright’s brother of the book, ‘if you have problem, there is certainly the way of a solution’ he got the strong and encourage through the sayings.
He decided go back to the airport. But really airplane’s engine had problem, time was not enough to go back. That time he looked for where is a place for landing safely, there was not. He said “now we have emergence; now we have engine problem so any more going on our journey but do not afraid just all follow our guidance” stopped.

All passengers’ face changed into pale, some people called their family honey our airplane is going crush now, ‘what what did you say Honey?’
What did you say my lovely son? What did you say my lovely daughter? All passengers were lost calmness. But he, the pilot was steady and continually he was finding where will be softly landing. A great idea came into his mind, which will be landing on the river, the river was very shallow and there was no wind and no more villages along the riverbank. He thought if he will land there no more damage to the people so he started landing, then the airplane was landing safely on the shallow river, thousands of people waited them.
The pilot rescued all 155 passengers from the airplane fall in the river the reason after hit birds.

So many people in the world want see him even president and he became a hero, all in the world newspaper, radio, TV station, magazines, and reported; until now never we have this kind of story in the world. Never we have no like this airplane crash.

He had special vocation so he came back home, there was all the area people, thousands of people and reporter, they prepared celebration in the village. People were shouting!
"You will be a next president in our country!"

Retake Freedom

Time to exam for high school entrance, the day before I went my aunt’s house, where is one of the city, and near the high school.
So early morning my mother and me went my aunt’s house and early evening slept.

Following day I had nervous and went school with some books. It was so big campus and buildings.

when we were wait for exam with tensely at the one classroom, the moment teacher entered with our testing paper. She was tall, her nose was high, her face was very white and had no smile, her eyes of pupil were very glittered, and pershaps she was a very strict person maybe she disguised herself so that students were not cheating.

After read the questions from the papers, I took out correct answers from my memorization. But not only some questions were clear to answer and but also some questions were not clear only whirled in my thought. I satisfied some subjects but math and music were lower grade.
After finish the exam, I come back aunt’s house then I did not eat and cried under the blanket in the darkness room. I put the blanket whole my body. i thoughts i will be a failure the exam.
My brother encouraged me “ that is okay if you will fail, you will try again next year!” But that’s sound could not power to my heart.

Following day mother and me went back home, the school policy had schedule to be announce successful candidates after one month. so I waited the day.

One day when I washed my clothes at the late afternoon with turn on radio for listen to drama then,
Suddenly a radio announcer said “now I am going to announce who are pass the entrance exam for Mokpo Woman’s High School.” O! my God! Why early? Now? My heart went pit-a-pat.
She reported the success’ numbers; 1,3,5,,7,10,15,27,30,31, ....38, ..100…….200,……..300,……400…..402…405,..407,...420,.. 425,..430,431!
431? (Shouting). I doubted my ear 431! I was jump, running, and shouting and I went hurried up to my daddy. A clothes container was upside down and my clothes were living, water was overflowing with soap bubbles.
Daddy ! Daddy! I pass the exam, I am going to fly on the sky ! Daddy!

Lost Freedom

When i was forth year middle school, that time i was study intensely for the entrance exam in high school. If i did not study diligently, then, i could not enter a prestige high school one of the cities. Even there was many high schools but i would like to study in the prestige high school.
So after classes i went library in the school and empty classroom for concentrated my study. In the house, i fixed my desk and chair in the corner, so I could not stand and going out easily. It was block way to go out.

Even i studied intensely, but my heart had desire to be get freedom i envied my mother, who worked for supporting her lovely children and watched TV, and sweet sleep early evening.
On the contrary, i could not sleep enough and watching TV freely all these were how repressed me so that time her most eagerness was to be get freedom.

Now our parents want send their children for famous college or university so their economical situation almost collapse and they are sending their children to the private institution for other subjects in every day; English, music, painting, sports, math, computer, dance, and literature.
Student in our country have no freedom because they have to attend in the school and after class they should go to institute for additional study. And their situation has always competitive with other students or sometimes their friends. So we cannot find children in the playground. They are study whole day under school and under institution so their parents’ monthly income uses almost for children’s’ studies.

All the more, now I heard news from Korea, the president ordered to make one special class for talented children in the elementary every public school.
I can imagine how parents more eager to send their children to the institution for a chosen student of the brilliant class.
Parents have no more freedom and students also have no freedom too.
We are all lives like an in prison, which institutionalized consciousness restrains us from our freedom.Contemporary, perhaps many people lost freedom which truly we desirous work and something not only Korea people but also in the world people.

Hidden Potentiality

Rabbit is one of very faster animal he or she is very well hop and run. When I was child, along the street of the school, there was Small Mountain, sometimes as we went to school, that time, rabbits run away very quickly in front of us and sometimes mountain was covered with snow, then the rabbits were running on the hillside for the food. So I know that how much rabbit is fast. And generally we know fairy tale “rabbit and turtle.”

Now as I see our rabbits in the house, I am thinking God gave unique talent not only rabbit but also all natures according to their characters. Especially God gave talent mankind but the people how much cultivating their talent or potentiality?

Rabbit in our house, they do not know how they are very well run and hop, no more mountain and hillside here to running and they have no experience to run, such as most people are not jet discovered their talent or potentiality so they do not cultivate it maybe most people are not know what is our gifted until die. Such as all our talents are hidden under the reality and daily life for the materials.
Lastly, I am thinking the person who is working according to their wishful field, is happy in their life.

Morning coffee and Bandisal

Early in the morning, as i stroll along the way in my place, some peoples are sit down in front of their house, they are drinking coffee with talking and smile. When i pass them, i would like to join to their morning coffee time and the pleasant chat.

Another hand i get on Jeep and pass by other places, also i can see the scenery which some peoples are sitting in front of their small houses and share coffee and Pandisal.
That time also i would like to join their coffee time and Amusal, it is so please to see.
Also sometimes they said to the stranger with smile "Coffee tayo" how it is nice communication in the morning.
It is a beautiful scenery in the Philippine into my memory

But i pass by the tallest houses, i cannot see the scene , no more people , no more children in front of house as if the house is ghost house. Maybe these house are castle, there is prince, princes, king, and queen consort. Therefore somehow i afraid those houses.

My Small Garden

In my memory, a beautiful countryside, especially the field full of many kinds of plants. And the rural landscape evoke peace and comfortable. In my childhood’s life in the rural was so happy according to every season; winter, spring,. Summer, and autumn.
All these experiences influenced my life that is why even I am live in city; I like planting in the small field.
So now I have small garden out side of house, other people planting flowers but I am kitchen gardening, there is sweet potatoes and petchy for eat, uncooked petchy and wrapped rice with meat and Korean sauce, Gochujang, Den jang. It is so delicious.

But after rabbits came to our house, they are more like petchy than us. So little cute girl and me cut the leafs and gave it So almost our green stuff is run out, so I will more engage in farming.

Rabbit and My Childhood

when i saw rabbits already i went back to my childhood.

I lived in the province, where, encompassed with hills and small mountains. there was wide rice field , in winter, the field be covered with snow on the mountain,field, and our village.

In spring, farmers cropped field with rice that time, rice field's color changed into yellow green.

In summer, the rice field's color changed into dark green. There was many grass especially rabbit's grass grew up along the river bank and rice field bank. And there was so many grasshoppers, dragonflies, and frogs. Those were our toies and our another friends.

Then i and my friends went there to cut grass for feed rabbits. We carried the bundle of grasses and gave it rabbits , then rabbit ate the leaves.
It was so excited us and it made us happy and rejoice.

One white pair rabbit

She and her father went SM mall when they came back home, the little girl brought small box, it was excited to her, so she yelled toward my room. " aunt!"

she opened the box, their was one of white pair rabbit, their fur are so white and shining, their color of eyes are red, their ears' color are light pink and so cute. when we touches the fur, it is so tender, so it give us comfortable. Rabbit also give us reaction with their ears . we brought some leaves to their mouth, then they turned sulky their head against our hands. when we touch them, they are very sensitivity. Maybe they are not familiar with our house and peoples.

I said to the lovely girl, " Min kyung ! you know that rabbit want race with you" she already makes ready to running, she stands beside rabbits and waiting 'ready set go!' Are you ready ? . She said Yes ! her vocie penetrated our roof.
one two three! ( high pitch)

I finished interview some happen to my heart having happy, joyful, and friendship. Before interview, I did not know her how much she loves to literature and how she became a good personality and literary person it means having sense and mood in literature. It was get to know more the person. What she has desire, which would like to have guidance, just like a mentor for more improve her literary talents. And she would like to people who share literary friends. So I desired in my heart, during I live in the Philippine, she is a good friend for me also if I will live in the Korea, be a good literary friends it was very a great day. Interview is a very good way to understand people and to get indirectly experiences through other people.

Proclaim freedom to the people, who are behind bars
Retake rights, to the oppress
Change war into peace in the world
Inspire hope into the people, who lost their dream

Plants hope to the desert, the land of hopelessness

From The Part of Barack Obama's Inaugural Address

From the Barack Obama's Inaugural Address
“That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.
These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics. Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our land - a nagging fear that America's decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights.” (president Obama’s address)

When I read Obama president’s address, it was impressed me so I chose some part; he said, “the most important one thing is our confidence and courage, there is crises US economy in the us but the worst crises ‘the people are losing their courage.

“God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.”
“Our challenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet them may be new. But those values upon which our success depends - hard work and honesty, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism - these things are old. These things are true.”( obama president’ address)

These sentences also impressed me ‘God gave us equal, free, all deserve a chance to pursue for happiness.
He said even there are old values but these; honesty, courage, fair play, tolerance, curiosity, loyalty and patriotism are the most important key to change and instrument of challenge.
Even our world and society, change and its value reflect on the materials but also old value mentioned above, is truths I also agree and thoughts.

Crying out and silence; war in Gaza and Israel

Scientists have one desire, which to create super power Robert
Serve people especially children,
Funny figure, curious face, and hands etc.
Many hands take hold black children
Many eyes, to take care of white children
Highest tall and biggest weight to protect yellow children

Children are shouting, laughing ,touching,
ride Robert's back, sitting Robert's shoulder and arms, neck
Talking ..
All pleasures are full of the garden of the globe

Some scientists different idea, which to create for only their purpose
They insert iron to the Robert's chest
the moment the Robert's figure changes human color into gray color
Immediately, a kindly Robert became a violence to the little children and people

Robert passed the way, can see one child die
two childes killed
three childes killed with blood
four child killed
five childes killed
six childes killed
seven childes killed
nine childes killed
ten childes killed
...
100 children killed
.....
1000 children killed
... 12oo children are dieing
........................................
Blood, burn, and broken heart and body
Mother, father, brother, and sister were killed by the giant Hitler
Infant alone live with smile
who know the smile and accept the little smile
.......................................
The globe has the stream of blood, bitter, crying, and frustration

Again the sun arise above corpses
New wind is coming to the ears,
The spider man is walking toward the giant.

Reflection to the poem "come again another day" by Isidoro M. Cruz

My hands shrink in this toy store
noisy with the red of fire engines,
Asudden siren, a blink of lights
A whistle ends the rasping of trains
on their tracks; horses in carousels
move counterclockwise and i move back...

There is a tugging toward a blurry
racetrack, voices rising to their crests
then falling like bodies totheir seats.
Galloping horses, plumes of powdery earth
at their feet, give way to people with backs
turned, some heads dangling from their necks,

We walk out of the bleachers, a cold hand
tugging mine, and my little shoes
scuff the gray floor strewn with torn tickets.
I look up at a face pale in the glimmer
of the stairwell. the descending footfalls
like the patter of a horse about to stop...

I know that voice- my son who is three
comes with a box of sports cars, his fingers
curied about its flap; as we drive home,
out his throat comes the grate of cars
Zooming as they become a blur in the wind,
his hands racing as if they've no time to lose.


I choose this poem because when I read again and again, rhythmical sense touched my ears and lips. Continually it made my whole body revived musical mood, in the result, I was feel “crispy and rejoice.” When read this poem my breath was very comfortable; inhale and exhale were very regular.

Maybe this poem expressed persona’s children, who they are playing with their toys in the fourth stanza / my son who is three comes with a box of sports cars, his fingers curled about its flap/

Persona described the toys of characters; horse, track, race track first and second stanzas; siren/ a blink of lights/ rasping of trains/ racetrack, voices rising to their crests/ galloping horses, plumes of powdery earth/ at their feet, give way to people with backs.
This scene is like that one family was in the toy kingdom to buy toys for the three sons.
So last stanza they came home the three sons open box and took the ‘ sports cars’ and imagine their voice were so loud, exciting, and higher pitch. They are playing so enthusiastic and eager attitude; last verse / his hands racing as if they’ve no time to lose/ expressed enthusiastic desire to play it means time is not enough to play for them, they feel lack of time to play. It is related the title; come again another day; come quickly tomorrow for the play it is children’s feeling.

To extension this poem of meaning for me; “do your best for the work as if tomorrow have no chance for the today’s works, if it will come tomorrow to me there is also another work.” “Live your life with passion like children’s eager to play.”

Poem: the heart likes it

The heart likes it by dreamgrow

She missed it thus, made a way to follow it

As a child, that was her favorite
As a youth, it was still her dream
When she became a wife she missed the way
But purposefully offered up
The way became more far away from her.

Her nostalgic dream is like running towards hometown.
Such as her heart is flying in the sky riding on the white cotton cumulus.
Her desire is like;
in winter, a seed that eagerly waits for sprout out from the ground
Like a baby waiting to get out of the mother’s womb
Yearning changes into passion,
passion safeguards her favorite way.

Her hair changes to silver
Daughter reads her mother's dream from a diary.
The daughter paid for her mother’s study
Mother flies in the sky.
A silver-haired woman piloting a plane in

She missed red scarf, thus, she made a way to follow it.

Hair cut

10 Jan 2009

I like not too long and short for hairstyle. In my eyes, if hairstyle is too short that is looks like a man and too long it is not harmony for my age.
One day I went beauty salon where is not luxury and the price is very cheap when I compare to any beauty salon especially Mall(SM).
When i entered the salon, i felt that; the appearances of hair cutters were not experts and the workers of uniforms were not polished. So these all environment, the place and people, through my eyes, supported my idea to having a prejudice, which they are all not expert for hair cut.

But I went there because the price was cheap and near my house. When she cut my hair so her hands were not unskillful. At last she made my hairstyle, which is, I hated that kind of style. I never experienced; she made that part my hair on the left and very short looks like a man. When I saw my face with short hair on the mirror that made me not good feeling. .
When i entered the shop, I decided even I don’t like my hairstyle, then I will not complain to worker but when she finished to cut my hair, automatically complain came into my mind. My face was no more smile and my mouth was no more “thanks.” I tried to show smile on my face.

When I came home, I regretted my attitude in the beauty salon.
Why did I acknowledge her skillful as a professional haircutter? She created my hairstyle for harmony and more beautiful face. So old style was gone and new style came to my body. I should be acknowledging her skill, and then she could get more self-esteem as a skilful haircutter. Then her heart is full of light and joyful about her job when customers are pleasing to their new hairstyle.
