PlayStation2 is really amazing video game console. As i wrote in the title, PS2(PlayStation2) is the most famous and favorite game to my friends, especially technology students(공대생).  There are lots of games can be played in PS2 but frankly speaking, i have never played PS2. Though i have not played the game, i saw many times and it looks very interesting.
However, as smart phone and internet have developed, analogs are as dead as dodo. Reading this news, i remembered my memory-stirring video pack game. When i was elementary student, i played with game pack and TV, but as people have been able to buy PC easily video games were dead.
It is inevitable to developed things replace old ones but that situation is not always good to people emotionally. Though it can be good for technologically.

As all know, the whole economy of the world decrease more and more. Actually i majored at mechanical engineering and i am not that good at economy so i heard the word 'fiscal cliff' first time in this news. I have a car and since i use an app in my smart phone to find cheaper gas station of my town. Because of this reason, the article's title is so interesting to me and then i picked it up.
Since the economy of USA getting worse and worse, finally it can reach the 'fiscal cliff', the news said. I am so afraid because i will go to company from Jan. of 2013, and then i will feel closer to economy due to i am so called, salary man.

I already heard this news on my mobile phone right after the accident. At first, so sorry for say this,to me it was just one of the most common accidents in the world. However when I fully read the article, i realized that most of victims are Korean exchange students. Since a lot of my friends are studying abroad, this news was not the "common thing" to me anymore. I feel so so sorry to the victims that I thought it was just a common accident and I really hope to find missing people and treated by doctors as soon as possible.
The article said that the bus was going too fast on the mountain road which was famous for steep road. And it also said that most passengers didn't fasten seat belts.
Again, I realized that the seat belt is the most important thing in driving.

An drug addict got Poppo's face

Miami Herald : Causeway victim Ronald Poppo finds peace but not healing
in Korea, almost all kind of drugs are illegal so there are not that much drug problems. However in U.S, a few states ligalize marijuana. I felt that it was irresponsible to advocate the legalization of drugs. Some people say that getting stress ( by resisting doing drug ) is worse than any other facts. I dont think so.. look at this poor guy Poppo! A crazy drug addict totally ruins his life.

Hope you be healthy again, Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela!
its so amazing that he is already over ninety years old! I realize that his lung diseases are caused by long prison life. Lomg time ago, a 'misjudging' of white people to human right activist results his severe disease and makes life-or-death situation. I respect this great man who dedicate his youth and almost of his time for black people's better life. I think this kinda thoughts come from the history of my country; japanese colonial era. I hope he recover his health.
