5 powerful pictures

1. This picture was taken in the 2012 Summer Paralympics in London. I personally like this picture because even though the players who participated in this competition are physically disadvantaged, they try hard to join the competition. They actually looked the same same as the players who participated in London Olympic games. Every time i see these players i feel embarrassed because obviously i'm physically more available than the players in Paralympics. However, i think they are much stronger than me mentally. Therefore, I respect them so much. Also, this is one of the reasons that i think the picture is powerful to me.

2. This is theoretical release poster of the movie "Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind" in 2004. I personally like this movie and i think this movie is my best movie ever in my life. After i finished watching the movie i totally agreed with the main point the movie tried to give "you can erase someone from your mind. Getting them out of your heart is another story". Even though i haven't really found my  true love yet, the meaning of the movie is really powerful that i can never forget. 

3. This picture was taken in Korea, 2002. In 2002, world cup was held in Korea & Japan. Most of the matches were played in Korea. At that time, i was about 9 years old. I was able to go to see the matches with my family. Maybe i was one of the people in that picture. People were going crazy when Korean players scored against the opponents. It was really entertaining and exciting to see the Korean national team beat strong European teams up. I remember the days in 2002 and what i experienced in 2002 world cup will be unforgettable. 

4. This picture is an album cover done by British rock band Radiohead. The album is their 3rd studio album "Ok Computer". Luckily, I had the opportunity to listen to this album because my sister recommended it to me. The album is really famous and regarded as one of the best rock albums in 90's. I recognize this kind of critical reception because the album is perfect to me. Each songs has meanings. The songs refer to embracing the future, refer to being terrified of the future, of our future, of everyone else's. Simply, the best album in my life.

5. I think we all know what this picture is. Korea has experienced an unforgettable incident recently. The ferry ship has been sunken with large number of passengers. Most of the passengers are students who were going to Jeju island for their trip. The incident is truly miserable because many students are still missing and found dead. The picture is powerful to me in a bad way. Hope the parents and students well..

My interest

I like music. I try to listen to all kinds of music. I specially like British rock bands a lot. When i was young i lived in Mexico. The only friend i had was my i-pod. I found some great music on my sister's i-pod. I was into Muse, Coldplay, Radiohead, Oasis, Artic Monkeys, and many bands from England. I wanted to listen to all the songs they released. Also, i was eager to experience their songs live. Because of that i went to youtube and saw their famous gigs. While i was watching their gigs on youtube, i found interesting information about gigs. The bands participated in world-wide festivals and entertained the crowds with their performances. It was pretty amazing because i thought they would only perform in their own concerts. The reality is many big bands travel around the world and join festivals as many as they can. Since then, I have tried to search rock festivals as many as i can. I actually participated in Korean rock festival which was held in Seoul last summer. It was amazing. I loved the crowd, the atmosphere, everything. People suddenly go out of control when they listen to good music. I think we'll never hold us down because the bands know how to entertain people as well as the people know how to get entertained. I want to introduce you some of the greatest rock festivals I have seen on youtube or I have actually been to.
 
I have been to this festival. It was called City Break held by Hyundai Card in Seoul last summer. Many famous bands came here and rocked Seoul. I've heard the festival will be held in July again. I'd be amazing if you can participate in the festival.




Jisan Rock Valley Festival (Korea)
& Glastonbury Festival (England)








I want to go to London and participate in this festival. The festival is called Glastonbury(Right) festival.. one of the biggest rock festivals in the world. Amazing crowd always makes me shocked
