Face to the realities

2012/05/18 08:56
A few friends of mine got serious illnesses which they have to deal with in their lives, one is cancer and another is STD.

They are not really very close friends to me, but we knew each other and shared time in business.
When i knew "my friend is sick, has quitted a job and will return to country for checkup very soon", i wondered why and what happened to my friend, then i thought possibilities of some sickness types. Because i heard serious and weak voice on phone, so i invited the friend to dinner.

I was really shocked when i heard my friend's real story or confession unexpectedly which i made itself happened by a lead of our conversation unconsciously. Then i suddenly realised one of my guesses was right.
I had not prepared enough to face it and i have being starting to face it, but i'm still honestly confused.
I met the friend this afternoon. What i can do it now is just to listen stories, act as same as before i did and learn about its sickness.

My friend said today. "To live is hard and troublesome."

However, i think that to know what's happening leads you to find solutions how to deal with problems. And it's nothing in the situation which is called "Life is suddenly stopped and will end soon (Nobody can live eternally)."

It might be giving people some oppotunities for letting them be able to see & know realities or things from different directions. and it's also telling to people somehow how to live in this world now.
from my point of positive view, selfishly

Studying about UK

2012/05/17 02:11
There is a test called "Life in the UK Test "which a person wants to apply for settlement or eternal leave in UK must pass after usually staying 5 years.
I'm not telling you about applying for it, but i found a book, "Living in the UK" at library.
I've been staying here for almost 1 year. And wondering how much i know about this country.
It's very interesting to study the basic information.
Try some.

Please answer questions below.

5. What is a dish of "Bubble and squeak"?

Dumpling

2012/05/12 00:20
It's a really good sunshine and clear sky day:)!!!
I wanted to go out, but couldn't do it.
My landlady cooked pork dumplings(Gyoza) and i helped her to make dumplings by covering stuffing with a gyoza skin. I haven't eaten gyoza for ages since i went to china town near Leicester square and might ate, not quite sure. The gyoza she made was amazing and so delicious. Sadly, my recipes are not so many for Japanese, chinese and korean food, right now. & I can borrow cooking books, so try to cook more food of different culture as long as ingredients are available.

Vegetable & pork dumpling

Ingredients: 5-8 leaves of boiled cabbage, 500g pork mince, 2 pc garlic, 20g chinese chive, 20g spring onion, black pepper, salt, sesame oil, gyoza skin etc...

Public section workers started 24 hours strike

2012/05/10 22:42
Pension scheme is one of the biggest issues in UK.
Lots of people are also raising their voices against government's cuts for public section and its service.
Government is announcing officialy, "current pension scheme is unfair and not affordable because people are living longer than before". Public workers say "We have to work & pay more and get lower pensions."
NHS and police officers are taking part in this strike.
Starting 2008, current deep recession made govenment drive too far and change many things too quick without being accepted concepts by the nation. Money collected from people is used for rich people and makes them more richer without being collected enough from them.
One of my friends used to say to me "it's such a life" when we discussed issues like this.
The sound of "Such a life" seems to imply mixed meanings of lightness and darkness in her life and her long efforts trying to work out complex situations with many difficulties and little hope to change such a life by positive actions.

"I came to take your Job. But...."

I found good wit and humor made by Immigrants.

"I AM AN IMMIGRANT. I CAME TO TAKE YOUR JOB. BUT YOU DON'T HAVE ONE"

It really shows the world in which i'm living now.
I encountered this situation in Spain and i realized that it is much*2 worse than UK's one seriously.
Comments are also interesting and discuss about the fact of Immigrant problems, Racism, Reality, Economy and Money, individuals are dealing with.
Listen their voices so that you could find something updated news and see realities of other sides of the world.

Blue Bells

2012/05/09 10:17
I came home this afternoon.
I've walked in forest with 2 dogs for around 2 and a half hours;)!!!
I'm tired, but it's good fatigue.
I felt myself released a little bit and appreciate this opportunity at which i could stay close to the nature.
