Few weeks ago, I had my 2nd school talent show. It was very fun, but I was a little nervous. Why was I nervous? Because everyone looked at me when I walked in! Ahhh~~~
This year, I presented my Chinese skill to my Buma friends, teachers, and parents. There were many people taking pictures and videos of me. That was why I was nervous. Thank GOD! I only made one tiny mistake, so it was not bad. I was happy when my Chinese speech was over.
I want to thank my friend, Ju-Eun Choi, for helping me. When I spoke Chinese, she read my speech in Korean. I did this because I wanted everyone to understand my speech. My Chinese speech was about my future dream. As you know, I want to become a CNN anchor, so I am preparing my life to be successful. Please cheer me on as I keep working hard.
I also played the recorder with my friends: Chae-Eun Jung, Na-Young Lee, and Seung Hae No. It was really fun because I got to practice and perform with my best friends. It became one of my great memories with my best friends. I hope we can do another talent show as 5th graders. This is because next year will be 'Sports Day'! So my dear friends, let's try to be in the same class.
Thank you Mrs. Hae Kyung Kim for decorating our class and making 2015 talent show awesome! You are a wonderful, sweet, kind, and amazing teacher. I will miss you very much! My dear Dad and Mom, thank you always for loving and supporting me. You were busy, but you still came and cheered me on. You are the BEST Dad and Mom! I love you sooooo much!
My brother, Justin, is 5 years old (Korean age) and he is really active. He loves to move around a lot! Every time I see him, he is running or jumping! Well, last weekend, Justin did something new and fun! He skated for the first time in his life.
When he saw the skates, the first thing he said, "What's this?" So I said, "Ice skate shoes!" Then he said, 'What's skate?" Hahahaha~ It was so funny! Justin was surprised to see a different kind of shoes, especially on ice. He had seen inline skating, but never ice skating. So it was really new for Justin!
Our family went to the ice rink and we all skated together. My dad, mom and I didn't fall down at all, but Justin fell down five times. I was so proud of him because he never cried! He is now a big boy.
Justin fell in love with ice skating, he asked my parents if he can go again. My dad loves to skate that's why Justin loves to skate, too. Like father, like son.
After skating, we ate Korean pork BBQ at home and it was delicious! Justin ate 3 bowls of rice! He was really hungry because of all the energy that he used... after dinner, he fell asleep... I was really surprised because I thought Justin would cry, but he didn't cry at all. Also, even when he fell down, he didn't even show a tear (other kids cried a lot). He is a big and healthy boy. I love you, Justin!
I hope you are healthy and happy this cool fall season.
Next week is Thanksgiving Day, I wish your family and friends will be thankful for all the wonderful people and things in your lives. I am thankful for many things: God, loving parents, cute brother, wonderful grandparents, lovely aunts and cousins. I have so many things to thank God. Thank You, God!
This time, I am extra excited because IGM's Team GENESIS's second music video is finally OUT!!!!! YEAH~!!! My team and teachers worked REALLY hard to film this video. This time, the title of our song is "One Way, Jesus!" It means there is only one way, one truth, and one life for people and that is by believing in Jesus Christ. I believe in Jesus and I want to live for Him. Team GENESIS hopes that you will be blessed and feel the love of God through this music video.
To make this music video, it took us 7 months to make it. We first went to China (Dandong and Dalian), Incheon (Ara Canal and Cheongna Central Park), and Paju (Imjin River). We had a great time filming and dancing for God. We only dance and praise for God. I hope you will praise God, too. I want to say a special "Thank You" to Dr. James for making this awesome music video. Also, Tr. Kathy and Tr. Eunice for directing and leading us EVERYWHERE and EVERY TIME.
Also, all the Team Genesis's Parents for supporting and praying for us. We are a very, very good and happy team. As we get ready for our next- 3rd music video, please pray for my team and teachers. We are going to have another AWESOME music video. So please support us! God bless you all!
I had a wonderful chance to visit my aunt Kyung Jin Lee. She is a lawyer working at Barun Law in Seoul. I was very proud of her because she looked COOL and AWESOME!
This was my first time visiting a law firm, so everything was new and amazing! The building was really big with many offices. There was my aunt's office, other lawyers' offices, and many meeting rooms. It was my first time seeing a lot of offices! But the biggest surprise was... PAPERS! LOTS and LOTS of PAPERS! My aunt's desk was filled with PAPERS! In the meeting room...filled with PAPERS! In aunt's pocket... PAPERS!!!
I wonder why lawyers use a lot of papers? I think teachers use a lot of papers, too!
Well, I never saw that much paper in my life. We need to plant more trees! Hahahahaha~ :) After the tour, we went out for dinner! YEH~~!!!!! Aunt Kyung Jin bought me 70,000 won steak! Thank you very much, aunt! The steak was very delicious, so I knew it was expensive~ I am so lucky to have a lawyer aunt!
Aunt Kyung Jin, thank you for taking your time and buying me delicious dinner. I will repay you when I am older~~! Hehehe~^^ I will buy you $100 steak! Stay healthy and be happy! P.S. Thank you mommy for taking me to see aunt! I love you sooooo much!
Last Saturday, my family (dad, mom, aunt, Olivia, Justin, Jeewon) went to Kimpo, Ara Canal.
My family was excited because it was our first time going as a family. We went in the afternoon and first thing was riding the motorboat. It was really fun because it was fast and I love how the wind blew!
Next, we rode the kayak. This was my favorite time because Olivia and I got to paddle by ourselves! It was our first time, so it was exciting! (We didn't see any fish, but saw lots of seagulls!)
Then, my family went to a buffet restaurant and ate a lot of food! My brother, Justin, ate more than me! He ate 4 dishes, but I ate 3 dishes! Justin will grow very tall! My favorite dish was japchae, it was very delicious You can't forget the dessert! I got chocolate shave ice cream~~ Yummy~
Last, our family's favorite time was shopping! It was called "eye-shopping" because we didn't buy anything... Everything was so expensive, so we just passed by. But, it was still very fun because we were together! I hope all of us can go again, but also with my grandparents and younger aunty, Hye-Young! I pray that everyone will be safe and healthy. God bless you all!
Thank you for cheering me on, everyone! I'm very happy to have great people in my life!! :) I will do my best and always be humble. For the first time, I'm learning how to play the drums! I started my first lesson last week and it was very fun. I love the beat and I feel so cool~ I had a strong feeling that I had to play the drums and looked so cool! But the most important reason was... I wanted to play the drums for GOD! My church needs another drummer and I want to be the 2nd drummer. So, I told my mom that I wanted to play and my mom said, "Okay! I will ask Tr. Kathy!" (What a wonderful mommy! <3)
The first week was easy, but this week was hard because I have to learn different beats. The beats are confusing!!! But it's okay because I need to practice a lot. I can do it!! I hope I get better and GOD will be happy when I play the drums in the church.
Thank You God for helping me. Thank you daddy and mommy for supporting me. Thanks everyone for writing lots of comments! God bless you all!! <3
P.S. I will show you my drumming skills veryyyy soon!
