Just a little thing I made :)

    Hello, my dear readers. I have not been writing anything in a long while, and some of you have been complaining and demanding new posts. It made me happy, that my silly writings mean something for others. In my defense I can say I did not have any inspiration >.< But I will try to post more from now on, pinky promise!
    These days I feel like I am losing my mind because of midterm exams. I already took one on Monday, now I have 3 more to go. The contents of my classes are extremely difficult for me, what makes it even worse is that my Korean language ability is still too low. But what a girl can do? Just try hard to study not to fall behind others. Hmm, thinking about it, I should be studying right now, instead of writing here... But it is still a good thing right??
    Anyways, this post will be a short one. In fact I am writing it for a sole purpose to show you a little comic strip I made out of photos I took yesterday. Are you excited to see it? (no, I don't take no for an answer :D)

Ta-da! *Mystical Lake Monster*

   Here is the story. Yesterday I was taking photos of mainly landscapes on the territory of our school with my Malaysian friend (who is an awesome photographer :) I was trying to get at least a few decent shots, and while my mind was wandering elsewhere I spotted this um, fish. I observed it for a bit, and then suddenly it opens its mouth wide and BUM! it ate a fallen cherry blossom. I never even knew fishes eat flowers. Isn't it amazing? I always thought they eat little water caterpillars or another smaller fishies. I feel lucky to capture this moment. I did take some other photos too, I'll post some of the better ones later.
    So, that is it for today! I am done with my blabbing :) Wish me luck on my exams.
How I wish it is Saturday evening soon, when I will be free like a bird again...
   It is 6 am now, so I should decide whether to go sleep for a little bit, or just give up on sleep altogether.
Good luck to everyone who suffers from midterms, like me! We can do it!!  ^.^

P.S: I was curious, are there any other photos of fishes eating flowers on the web, so I tried googling it. What I found is this lovely picture (from http://rutart-barkingbird.blogspot.com). It is called "Fish love eating organic flowers". I bet they do! :)

so unique^^

About what is going in my life these days :D

Hello^^
These days I am in high spirits, because it has been snowing here a lot **********
When I see the city covered in snow, I feel like I am still in my beautiful Mongolia, it is like I am recharged again hehe :D
Also a few days ago I celebrated Christmas for the first time in my life. Back at home everyone thinks that Christmas is just a religious holiday for believers, instead we celebrate 31st of December - Eve of New Year, and you can say it is the biggest event of the year. Anyways, on Sat 25th my Korean friends (they are so nice :) organized a party, and invited all of their friends: both Koreans and foreigners, total around 50~ people (?!). I had a time of my life, just talking with people, playing various games, exchanging gifts, listening to the guitar sound. It was an oversleep party, and that day I went to bed around 6 in the morning!^^ People say Christmas is a family holiday, but since my family is in Mongolia, here in Korea, my friends are my family :D
Another thing that kept me excited these days is a project we made as an assignment for "Korean language & Mass Media" class. We were told to make an advertisement, but topic is free, so me and 2 of my teammates decided to make a social ad, not commercial. The theme of our ad was "Care about others" and we made it in a video format. It was my first experience making a video, and I liked it so much!
Well, they say it is better to watch once, than to hear (or in our case - read) 100 times. Therefore I am uploading our a bit clumsy video ^.^

I hope you understood the concept: a student (me) who was scolded by a strict teacher (my Vietnamese classmate), while sitting pitifully outside, being sad, is consoled by a complete stranger (my friend from Tanzania), who even gives out her chocolate, which was received from her boyfriend (my good Kyrgyzstan friend). This whole concept was my idea :D Today, while finally showing it to our teacher, we received a lot of criticizing how the concept is not that clear in the video. But it was the first time for everyone, so in my mind it is ok ^.^
Thanks to that experience my interest in taking videos and film-making was triggered, and now I am even thinking about learning it as my sub-major. But now I am put before a dilemma: should I study Communication & Information (College of Social Science) or rather pick Movie & Theatre (School of Arts & Sports) ?
Give me an advice, please :)

첫 걸음

안녕하세요,나의 블로그에 환영해요 ^^

처음으로 이 블로그에서 글을 쓰니까 마음이 참 설레네요...

우선은 자기 소개부터 시작할까요?

내 이름은 너민이고, 영원한 푸른 하늘의 나라라고 불리는 아름다운 몽골에서 왔어요. 현재, 대한민국으로 유학을 하러 와 있고 인천이라는 도시에 살고 있어요. 인하 (인천의 하와이^^)라는 대단한 대학교에서 한국어를 열심히 배우고 있어요.

이제 한국에 온 지 1년 넘었어요 (시간이 화살같이 지나갔네요). 여기에세 새롭고 놀라온 일들이 많이 있었어요.

이 블로그를 만든 목적은 유학생의 눈으로 한국을 보여 주고 싶기 때문이에요.

여러 가지 이벤트, 사진, 제미있는 뉴스, 한국 가수와 책 소개, 한국인들의 문화 등 등 쓰고 싶은 것이 엄청 많아요! 기대하세요 :)

앞으로 많은 관심을 부탁들일게요.

차... 1, 2, 3 시작!!!

한복 입은 나: 예뻐?? ^.^ me in Hanbeok (pretty, no?) ^.^

Hello guys, I welcome you to my blog!

This is the very first post in my blog, feeling a bit excited^^

Should we start with a short self-intro?

My name is Nomin, I came from a country of an eternal blue sky, beautiful Mongolia. For the present I live and study in Republic of Korea, Incheon. I am learning Korean language at the famous Inha (Hawaii of Incheon^^) University.

It has been over a year, since I came to Korea (time indeed flies too fast). I've experienced many new and wonderful things here.

I decided to create this blog to show the world Korea through the eyes of a foreign student.

I hope you'll find it interesting^^

So... 1, 2, 3 Start!
