DOIS PARAGUAYS!!!!
Isso é uma beleza ... hahahah ...

... Um livro de geografia usados nas escolas públicas do Estado de São Paulo traz dois Paraguais e exclui o Equador de um mapa da América do Sul. O erro aparece tanto nos livros distribuídos aos alunos quanto nos destinados aos professores. O livro é usado pelos alunos do 6º ano do Ensino Fundamental...

LUCKY?

... I don't believe in luck ...
but just cuz today is March 17
(St. Patrick's Day)
It's a sweet song ... and great to sing along. ^^

Do you hear me?
Talking to you
Across the water
Across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky
Oh my, baby I'm trying

Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ohhhohhhohhhohhohhohhhohh

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you, I promise you I will

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair

Though the breezes through the trees
Move so pretty, you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

... a prayer ...

so yah... today I went to church

and as I walked into the temple I got a piece of paper

that had this prayer written on it.

... the sermon today got me thinking ...

~ again ~

Pedi a Deus para que me fizesse forte...

mas me fez o mais fraco de todos

para que eu aprendesse a humildade.

Pedi a Deus para que me desse saúde,

para que eu pudesse fazer grandes coisas...

mas Ele me permitiu fraqueza

para que eu pudesse fazer coisas significantes.

Pedi a Deus para que me fizesse rico,

para que pudesse ser mais feliz...

mas recebi de presente pobreza

para que me tornasse uma pessoa sábia.

Pedi a Deus muitos talentos,

para que pudesse ser reconhecido entre as pessoas...

mas fez-me sentir pequeno

para que eu pudesse sentir a necessidade dEle.

Pedi a Deus tudo o que pudesse,

para controlar todas as coisas da vida...

mas Ele me deu a vida de presente

para que eu pudesse desfrutar dela.

Nada recebi do que tenho pedido...

mas recebi de presente tudo o que preciso.

March 1st

So this is a national Korean holiday.

... it goes waaaay back when the Korean peninsula

became a colony of the neighboring Japan.

This happened in the early 1900's and it lasted

almost the entire half century ...

until Japan officially lost in the WWII.

As far as I know and from what I've heard,

this period of forced Japanese occupation was the beginning

of the everlasting hatred between the two nations.

I guess this is when the Korean in me speaks louder.

Despite their own reasons ... honestly,

what the Japanese did to the Koreans was just inhumane!!

... or is that what humans do ... ??

*ivasion of land *assassination of all the royal lineage *forced labour

*extinction of the writen and spoken Korean language

*change of names (Korean names to Japanese names)

*detorsion of education *murder *rape

*humiliation and exploitation of all sorts

... and the list just goes on ...

Why am I making a big deal of this? Weeeeeell ...

my great-grandfather was in jail due to participating in the 삼일 운동

(Samil Undong = Three One Movement = Demo for Freedom)

He was a ferverous independence activist.

Apparently, due to his good behavior during his imprisonment,

they released him in a short period of time, 7 years later.

Doh In Gwon was his name.

... I guess because of people who strongly believe that

they can make a difference in this world

we are living and enjoying life as we are today.

Thanks to my great-grandaddy and those other nationalist

Korea is an amazing nation that is it today!

Oh, I found out that his first wife couldn't wait for him

while he was in prison, and went off to marry a different man.

After he left prison, he fell in love with my great-granny

... and they traveled around Russia, China, and Mongolia together

before settling down in Korea.
