Antoher Carol_O Holy Night
O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, the night when Christ was born;
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming,
Now come the wisemen from out of the Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus lowly manger;
In all our trials born to be our friends.
He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger,
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother.
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
With all our hearts we praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we,
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
My Favorite Carol_The First Noel
The First Noel, the Angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the East beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
And by the light of that same star
Three Wise men came from country far
To seek for a King was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
This star drew nigh to the northwest
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both Pause and stay
Right o'er the place where Jesus lay.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
Then entered in those Wise men three
Full reverently upon their knee
And offered there in His presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made Heaven and earth of nought
And with his blood mankind has bought.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!

Summary & Reflection : The social psychology professor Morrie, suddenly contacts the Lou Gheric's disease. He spens the rest of his life suffering from the pain, watching himslf gradually being unable to use each parts of the body. Facing death, professor Morrie finds a whole new different point of view towards the world.
After hearing the news that he will not be able to live longer, professor Morrie decides to spend his last minutes with people who cared for him. He even appeared on a television program for his particular way of spending his last days. This served as the momentum for Mitch incidently cathching his old teacher on television, and decides to go see him after 20 years passed.
Mitch, being one of the students of Morrie's lasst lectures, gains very meaningful 15 tuesdays. Each day he learns about different topics, mostly the ones that anyone would wonder about during their life.
Professor Mitch claims that although he was dying, he was happy since he was surrounded by people who cares for him. Not many would be able to proudly announce that they are beloved by people around them.
The two men discuss about the world, feeling sorry for himself, regrets, death, family, emotions, fear of aging, money, love, and many other things for 14 tuesdays. I especially remember the day they dicussed about death. Death is one of the things that most people fear. Usually people are not ready for this. It was the same for me. Until I read this book, I never had though about how my death would be, when it would vcome, and how will I behave.
In the book, professor Morrie tells avout a little bird on his shoulder. Every morning he asks the bird, 'is today the day? Am I ready? Am I doing all I need to do? Am I being the person I want to be?'
From now on, I shall set one of my life-long goals to answer properly to these questions: otherwise, I might waste tiem chasing meaningless things.

The Mentalist < the one I'm sooooooo into!
Have you ever heard of'em?
It' got all the things that i love..
....Anyway..I've always loved such "invetigation shows"
Now, lets go through the characters in the show ~
He always wears this suit with vest in it..
Jane(as in the show), is the mentalist
Mostly he's a fun guy with that ADORABLE SMILE...
Before he became the consultant,
Since Redzone left a note that said,
"Dear mister Jane, I do not like to be slandered in the media, especially by adirty money-grubbing fraud. ... you wouldn't need to open the doorto see what I've done to your lovely wife and child."
and had killed his family
he has some kind of guilty conscience, that he drove his own family into death.
Oh well.. No wonder he goes crazy with Redzone..
(can check out the seriousness in episodes 11, 23)
[Teresa Lisbon]_Robin Tunney
She's the leader of the C.B.I.
Jane and Lisbon often make conflicts..
(they mostly have light arguments)
No matter how much they fight,
it's true that Jane's good,
and she admits the fact.
But, she once hurt Jane's feelings
by saing "I don't trust you"
Feels like sths gonna happen between them,..
I hope not, cause I want both of them to left as
the "cool singles."
According to Jane, she's conventional and bisual..
which could be translated as "철두철미한, 원리원칙의"
[Kimbell Cho]_Tim Kang
U noticed sth about him?
Yep! He's Korean-Amrican actor in Hollywood.
He's hot his own charmings
In the show, he's more like.. quiet..
and almost always serious
u can hardly see him smile..
But, He sometimes make jokes..
(without even a smile.. and that makes him look so hot..kk)
Hope Mr.Bruno(the director of the show)
makes more shot of him in season 2... :-)
In the show, he often has trouble
understanding Mr.Jane...
but mostly they get on well.
really... NICE :-D
[Wayne Rigby]_Owain Yeoman
Here's our itty-bitty Rigsby.
He's the biggest in the team, duh..
but looks as he's the youngest..
(hes so cute...not him.. his behaviors)
He sometimes looks like a dool guy..
He actually put his team into trouble..in episodes..
......ugh.. cant remember..
anyway..
he's in love with Grace,
the other team member..
but as i said.. he's somewhat dool..
He hasnt even asked her out yet
[Grace Van Pelt]_Amanda Righetti
Isnt she beautiful?(하아~..)
She's the last one to join the team,
and the actual youngest in real too.
She has much intersts in Jane..
since he's so "strange"
..she suspects him as a phsycic..
but oh well.. he isnt/
In the show, he has sth going on with Rigsby
She knows that he likes her..

Summary : With the constant development of technologies by humans, our eco-system got into a trouble.

Is Art Art?
Firstly, though it does not have the melodies or harmonies like normal music, 4' 33" can be distinguished as and art that has feelings. According to the definition of art in Wikipedia, if it can only let the audiences have feelings, no matter what they are, it could be defined as an art. In this case, Cage's art might not make the audiences to feel happy or impressed, but can let them feel surprised or curious. These are indeed some forms of human feelings we share. Therefore this should be considered as an art.
Secondly, this music has a point of view that people might miss; it is a friendly art. Being easy, some turns back towards this work. However, their attitudes are definitely wrong. The difficulties are not the standards to decide whether a work is an art or not, and should not be. To add, easy arts should be welcomed, not judged, since every people will be able to enjoy art easily. John Cage is the artist who brought the art closer to us.
There are various types of art in today's society. John Cage's 4' 3" was one of the forms that were a special and fresh was to listen to music and have emotions. I certainly agree that this is art, and would like to even compliment it as a wonderful one.
