Let's go to the bookshelf!


Do you like to read books in your free time? Even though I cannot read many books these days, I still like to read books in my free time and on the way to travel. Moreover, I like everything about books that I can feel such as the letters of the books, the cover designs of books, and the feeling of underlining on the books. What I think as an uninvented thing in the world is “Kindles” which can make people easier to read without having real books. There is two reasons why I pick it up as uninvented thing.

Above all, I cannot line on the book when I use a Kindle to read. I tend to know the words which I do not understand well and I usually underline with a pencil whenever I see those words. I also underline the sentences that I really want to keep in mind with my highlighting pen. However, I cannot do anything like these when I use a kindle. In spite of the fact that there is the function of bookmarking, I think, I seem to be as a different work. I do not know if new version of kindle would develop such a function but I think it would be still considered as other thing.

Furthermore, I like the smell of old books and especially lots of stacks of old books on an attic of the house. However, I can smell nothing of old books on Kindles. If someone saw me who smell Kindle, he or she would think me weird. Besides the smell of books, I enjoy guessing their ages while turning over the pages. But, you know already what I want to say, I do not want to do that with my electric book. As people bring their own books, people can feel certain emotions through books not only the feeling of contents but also the touch of books.

For these reasons, if I could uninvent something, I would pick “Kindles” without hesitation.  While writing these paragraphs, I decided to read, love, and feel my books more and more. Let’s go to the bookshelf, together! ^^

Selina's Dream Job: Co-traveler

Is there anyone who wants to dream a nightmare? Absolutely, nobody wants to do. When I heard the word ‘Dream Job’, I would like to choose the sweetest job that I’ve ever heard like a sweet dream. Thus, I made my own lists which I like to do in order to pick one as my dream job. Followings are the lists that I like: to cook Korean dishes and treat the food, to travel and take pictures of places and people, to talk with good people who are close or are getting closer, to give helpful advices to friends with worries such as troubles with their boyfriends, to write down encouragements to cheer up, and to be a friend who can talk sympathetic words. After thinking many times about it, I found out a new job and I named it as ‘co-traveler’ that is the name of the job of person who can travel with. I want to become a friend or a college who lives alone and who cannot find any company to enjoy the trip.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
There are several reasons that I thought about ‘co-traveler’. First, I love to travel and I am a sociable person who can be a good listener and a speaker while talking with new people. Moreover, I can make our time worthy to enjoy by cooking and eating foods with new global friends. When I play an important role of ‘co-traveler’, I think I am a suitable person as a good counselor, not to mention of a good photographer. In addition, I like to help others if I can do as many as possible. Through my dream job, co-traveler, I would like to share a certain memories with lonely women. For example, one of my friends was looking for her company of trips every summer and winter vacation. She had a hard time to find a friend to be able to spend the vacation together due to time and money. After all, she went to Spain with her younger brother who my friend minded getting together. If I were a ‘coco-traveler’ at that time, I could go with her.

I'm energetic Selina.^^


My name is JIHyon Kim, call me Selia. I came from Seoul, South Korea around three weeks ago. This is my first semester in Fullerton, CA. I can introduce myself as an active and energetic person. I love to travel all around countries and like to make new friendship with other cultural people. Once I went to Beijing during summer vacation in order to meet my best friend who had studied in Beijing. She introduced me many friends(‘Pungyou’ in Chinese) while staying in dormitory. We talked a lot during the whole night. Next morning, we had husky voices, it is not normal to me, because of so much talking. It is one of my good memories of traveling to China. I went to Baguio, Philippine for one and half month. I travel Singapore, Maldives, and the eastern part of U.S.A including New York City. Thus, I have many foreign friends in Philippines, Singapore, and New York City. I want to become close friends with you here in CSU Fullerton. I like to learn and teach whatever I have learned. I am interested in learning languages. I learned Japanese, Chinese, and German. While I study here in Fullerton, I hope to learn more various languages with your help. I can teach Korean also. Actually, I got the Certificate of Teaching Korean Language from Seoul National University. If you want to learn Korean, welcome always! Lets be a friend with Multilanguage.
I came here to study real English. After studying in ALP program, I want to be a graduate student of TESOL(Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) Master’s program. That’s why I decide to come to U.S. I hope to learn English more professionally.
One of my hobbies is paragliding. I like to fly in the sky even though I don’t have own wings and to experience some adventures like this. It is hard to find good place to go down but only if I find the proper sites, I can enjoy paragliding, feel the wind in upper side, and view the fantastic smaller world than I was in.

 I am active and energetic person. I like to travel all around countries. Once I went to Beijing during summer vacation in 1997 in order to meet my best friend who had studied in Beijing University. She introduced me many friends(Pungyou) while staying in dormitory. We talked a lot for all night. Next morning, we had husky voices, it is not normal to me, because of so much last night talking with powerful energy. At that time, The Tianmun Arena was crowded with many people with fireworks due to returning Hongkong to China. It is one of my good memories of traveling to China. I went to Baguio, Philippine for one and half month. I travel Singapore, Maldives, and the eastern part of U.S.A including New York City.
