It is always great to watch the Olympics opening ceremony. It gives me so much impression that is like I’m holding tears inside of my heart. Yes, it is.. The spirit of the Olympics is the peace for the world and the harmonious world so that the opening ceremony has so much great significance from every single performance. Therefore it is so sad that any US TV channels do not show the opening ceremony. As a result, I had to watch it on the Canada TV channel, but it rather feels me that I'm lucky not to miss the great moment.

I got bitter feelings from one of performance that is about; one runner entered the main stadium and ran towards all marathons final lines that imply all cities where the Olympics were before coming back to hometown in Greece after passing 108 years. The runner suddenly fell down after one final line, at the same time the announcer said, the World war1. Then, the runner started running and suddenly stopped once again, it meant the World War2. I had to put my hand on my mouth because it made me feel cry.

Yes, where did it go..? The peace for the world..? Where did it go..? How is it different from the period of the world war1, 2 and now, 21 century in the World..? Even the US doesn’t show the Olympics opening ceremony. Why..? Because they are shameful about the war, or they are arrogant because they are always on the top of the list? Even Iraq participates in this Olympics, and even South Korea and North Korea entered to the main stadium together with holding hands. Why any national channels don’t show these great moments. I don’t know if any other cable channel showed it or not.

I got some photos from Korean Website. Peace for the World.

I'm here with Paul, Matthew and Terry as well.

In Korea, we have rainfall season every year on the beginning of July or little later July. It just stays for couple weeks. After rainfall, people start to go to their summer vacation to everywhere in Korea. Korea is a peninsular country so that we have three sides of ocean and a lot of beautiful mountains.

In my girlhood, I was little romantic -well, I think I'm still romantic-. At home, I remember that there were my maid and my younger sisters every rainfall season. My mom was a teacher so was my father. So, we had a maid to take care of us. I don't know why I was so grumpy with her all the time. Every time, when it rained, I went out with a small umbrella and I stepped on every small water halls around our residency community. Of course, all my body got soaked and wet. Nevertheless, I was happy doing that. Then, came home and made house dirty with all water. My maid was mad and yelling at me "Soyeon, cut it out� because she had to clean up the house. I liked to make her mad at me. But, I loved doing that. I never got sick from doing that. I was just happy.. Water.. Rain.. Hanging out in raining, although nobody was outside on rainy days.

I often told my friend in Korea, I want to have a coffee and just watch raining with a great music on a rainy day when I grew up enough. That's how I wanted to enjoy rainy days. In rainfall season in Korea, it really rains a lot. really a lot. Sometimes, you can't see anything. One day, I was in my office at work, (it was raining..) one of my junior designer said to me, "let's go have some drinks and Korean style seafood pancake after work, it's raining".. I was looking at her.."What?" and asked her. "Do you usually drink and have seafood pancake on rainy days..?" She said.. "oh no.. That’s the way how to enjoy rainy days, don't you know that?". Yeah, I didn't know that.. She broke my romantic feelings. Get drunk on rainy days.. Hum.. me.. I want to have a hot coffee and listen to a great music and watch raining..

I miss heavy raining now not like Buffalo raining.... and drink a hot coffee with listening a great music......

I will eat them all in a minute. Wait.. Kacey.. you should have some since it's your birthday. Happy Birthday.. but.. no one can have them except for me and Kacey.
