Expensive sushi and dry chicken

Yay! I'm at the Grove. Well, it's actually my fifth or sixth (possibly seventh) time here, but it's the first time I've had the food. The kung pao chicken at that one chinese place is pretty dry, and the sushi place is quite expensive. Maybe it's because I got the one with the most ingredients. The lemonade's pretty nice, though. My stomach feels like it's gonna burst! I'll end the post today with a photo of me :)

(It's a bit blurry because my phone camera just freaks out at night >.>)

Post title

Hello! It's been a while. I'll be posting (hopefully) more now. This is my first mobile blog post! Yippee!

My friends have gotten me into manga and anime... a turn for good or bad, I don't know. It's like how books are an escape from society into a world where anything is possible. Manga are, in a sense, "grown-up" picture books.

I wonder, as summer draws slowly to a close, what my life as a junior will be like. Perhaps through this blog I'll be able to chart my personal growth?

As you can see, these posts read like a Virginia Woolf novel, a train of thought novel.

PAVA Samulnori Performance

Just ten days ago, June 18, the Samulnori group I was in, from the Pacific American Volunteer Organization, performed at Disneyland California Adventures. I was actually able to write a newspaper article on that which actually was published just yesterday. If you didn't know (which you probably didn't), I'm actually a Student Reporter for the Korea Daily. Well, I wrote my last article on Sunday and I'm going to continue for the next year, possibly as an editor *crosses fingers.*

Here's the article link: http://www.koreadaily.com/news/read.asp?art_id=1217473

Samulnori's actually a percussive music form in that it uses only percussion instruments to play music. However, it's very unique as it uses only four different types of drums in order to create complex pieces. I actually play the buk, one of the simpler instruments yet one of the most important as it keeps the tempo.

I'm pretty tired right now, so I'll cop out and give you the link to the Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samulnori

It's a pretty accurate description of the whole form, giving a run-down of the whole thing.

Until next time!

Kimchi, kimchi, and more kimchi

Hey again. :)
I'm making my third post! Woot!
Anyways, over the next few days/weeks/months/years/decades/millenia I will be posting pictures and basically descriptions of events and places I've been to over the past, like a scrapbook for others like you to see. Let's see how this turns out. :)

Hello. Again.

Heh. I told ya, it'll be quite a long time between each of my posts.
Anyways, I survived the Rapture! You did too, if you're reading this. Camping said, however, that the REAL end is October 21. I don't believe him at all, let me tell you. We lived through Y2K and all that other good stuff... Is there any reason to believe that the world will end on October 21? And I think he said something about us being swallowed up by a fireball. Or the sun. The thing is, scientists have predicted that that stuff won't happen any time soon (from an old astro book I read), and he says that'll happen in what, five months? He needs a better apocalypse theory.

Hello world!

Haha. So this is my first post on this first blog of mine... Let's see how this will hold up. This will not in any way be central to my life - don't expect more than a couple of posts a week AT THE MAX. Also, a lot of what I say will be controversial or incoherent, or both.
Anyways... To begin, my name is Chiyoung Kim, and I go to North Hollywood High School. It's a good school, to tell the truth, except LAUSD's messing around with our magnet program (which probably has contributed A LOT to keeping the school afloat) and things are looking bleak. But hey, if life can be compared to a rocky, stormy sea, this is just one storm I'll have to ride out.
