self-ca

In Korea, we call the activity we take our own pohto as 'Self-Ca'.
I did lots of Sel-Ca during World Cup 2006, June.
The most favorable photo is this:
Horns of the bull on the head represent the symbol of fight and power,
and My sister draw the simple shape of Taegeukgi, the national flag of Korea, on my right cheek.

We didn't win this time but it was quite a delightful experience to join such a national crowd...

What a life...

I finally finish making my own Resume~~

praivete issues

For me, life is all about me and my surroundings.
I tend to relate other persons' lives and matters to my own life, so everything I commit to or involve in is important issues to me.

Despite my tendancy, I have secret me inside and accentric personality I hate to disclose.
It's literally real myself.
Then, what is me who people see and face?
It might be sort of visible shell covering Jung Min's identity.

Why I hate to unfold who and what I am to everybody.
what a keen protection!
Maybe.
I don't want to be jugded or be chatted by people who like talking.
Maybe.
I'm just fragile being easy to break.
Maybe.
The skin that I wear is only support holing true me.
Maybe.
Life is lonely journey with nobody along next to me.
What a life.

can you see

Love is God's gift to provide us reason to live

sorrow or compassion

There was a moment of spiritual awakening when I met you.
Your being strengthened the courage and passion so that I could finally reveal my inner color.
You lead me, to live the life as myself.
Being me. let myself to understand the world better and more deeply.

I wish you could see the world along with me without seeing.
I wish you could say just like you used to be without saying.
I wish you could hear my chat about everyday lifeissues.
I wish you could feel people's prayer who share your existence.

and I wish your soul could reach me as I reach you.

joy of being alive

first day, spring blossoms

designing new life-space in e-blog, first thing I want to write about is.. spring blossoms...my babies...

I take care of several souls - I call them my babies.
actually, they look after me and give me peace of mine.
so my plants are precious beings for me as much as Flora(I) is holy divinity for them.

Since I took off from school, I have had enough time to experience happiness of life and have recovered my composure. It's not about dance and me. It's about surroundings and being together now in the 21th century.

You can live life without fancy artifacts but can't live life without nature.
I feel sad to see people who forget such a basic lesson, the essence of living.
Life is not successful by becoming a celebrity or a moneybag.
The true success of life is acheived by becoming the intimate of surroungdings.

Life values in terms of spirit and mind although those can not be seen.
It's so tricky and so easy to admit that people always miss to see it and regret after they lose it.

During my days witnessing spring blossoms, I realize DANCE is one of my ways to speak to world about inner sense and sensibility.
DANCE is 'moving my body for reasons'.
for instance, smoothing down the babies's body one a day is the intercommunicationg dance ritual for birth and death.
It could be treated as small trifle work to others.
To me, the performance is a original source of inspiration and wisdom.
So it's such a private dance ritual as well as universal one.
