hi.. richard~!
how are you doing?
so.. yesterday i hang out with my friends...
i'm glad that you liked the photo..
unfortunately.. i don't have other photos..
my sister's friend took the photo with her digital camera..
but she erased all the files by mistake..
i was so disappointed when i heard it.. because there were so many
pretty
photos.. which i liked so much.. but foregone is forgone..
don't get disappointed too much~!
i have some other photos that i took yesterday..
while hanging out.. me and my friends took some photos..
it is not as pretty as the photos that i was planning to send you..
still.. they look fine..
i'll attach one of them..
these days.. in korea.. taking photos with cell phone is in fashion..
my cell phone doesn't have camera.. but many of my friends like to take
photos.. with their cell..
some of them seem addicted to taking photos..
they take photos anytime.. anywhere they want..
digital camera is also in fashion..
although it is pretty expensive.. many youngsters have digital camera..
and
take photos with it..
people like to post them on their own web page.. or their blog..
do you know what a blog is?
it is an internet term.. it's like a journal.. which people write on
the
web..
actually.. i have one..
i'd like to let you know the address.. but the website can only be read
in
korean..
i posted some photos.. (even photos that i took in childhood..)
and my friends sometimes visit there and comment about the photos..
there is also a visitor's page.. so they can say hi to me..

i guess.. the raining season is coming here in korea..
yesterday it rained a lot.. and the weather forecast said that it will
rain
from this weekend again..
the rain has cooled off the hot weather a little..
before the rain.. it was so hot.. that we couldn't get asleep even at
night..

and.. thank you for sharing your experience in your twenties..
i believe that you were great at that time too!!
you seem to be confident in what you are doing..
but i bet your confidence comes from your experiences
because you had been through the period.. you can enjoy your work now..
i always try to persuade myself saying that what i'm experiencing now
will
fertilize my life in the future.. and.. YOU... i'm sure that you will
be one
of my great memories.. when i look back on my life in my seventies or
or something..
thank you always for encouraging me..
i'm so blessed that i can meet a person like you..

i look forward to seeing your work which is about the goddess..
i don't know much about mythology..
but i'm sure that the work will have a mystical image as many of your
work
have..
good luck with your painting!
but don't work too hard~!
working too hard especially when it is hot.. can make you ill...

bye for now.. miss you all the time....
