My thoughts about homosexuals and same-sex marriage

  Hello, everyone. Today I am going to write a post about homosexuality and same-sex marriage. I will give you many facts about homosexuals and give my opinions about them.

  “Attorney General Eric Holder said Friday the federal government will recognize more than 1,000 same-sex marriages in Utah, despite an earlier announcement this week from the states governor saying the state would not. What do you think about this statement? Seodaemun-gu Office in northern Seoul said Tuesday that it will refuse to register the marriage between two men film director Kim-JhoGwang-soo and film distributor Kim Seung-hwan citing the Constitution. How about this? Well, these two statements were about SAME SEX MARRIAGE. But the former was agreeing with it, and the latter was objecting to it.

   A homosexual means a person who identifies physical attractiontoward the same sex. Originally, in Korea homosexuality is not accepted biologically and socially, but now most countries are having friendly attitude toward homosexuality. In today’s speech, I want to tell you that we have to understand and accept things like homosexuals loving each other, getting married, and adopting children. Also, we should consider how homosexuals and same-sex marriage help our society.

First, same-sex marriage means the variety of families. Nowadays, we have many various types of families, such as nuclear family, childless family, and even single parent family. In this kind of social current, it’s wrong to object to same-sex marriage, while accepting many special kinds of families. Not getting rights and benefits because they are homosexuals is not only unfair personally, but also can’t be accepted for social ethics.

Second, homosexuals can’t change themselves into heterosexuals with their wills, because homosexuality is mostly due to biological factors, according to a research about homosexuals. If we say homosexuality is bad and it can’t be allowed for those people, it will be ignoring and even denying the existence of homosexuals. So we need to consider allowing same-sex marriage.

Next, there’s no reason to be discriminated because they are homosexuals. It’s undeniable that they are Koreans and the fact they are homosexuals doesn’t affect accomplishing their duties as Koreans. Thus, we have to recognize their freedomto marry who they love. Also, they don’t affect badly to people or trigger bad effects socially, so we don’t have to worry about or discriminate homosexuals because of it. They sure have their rights to love and marry each other, like the others loveand marry each other. We need to have the courage and the attitude to accept their freedom as a citizen of Korea.

Lastly, as left-handedness is not bad, homosexuality is not quite different from the left-handed. But people are discriminating them because of a small difference, for example, they don’t use right hands. We don’t need to contempt or force our thoughts because other’s opinions are different from ours. But it’s sad that people can’t reveal their gender identity and get married with the same-sex because Koreans still see homosexuality negatively. For true happiness of every Korean, I think we need to agree and try to understand everyone’s sense of value, thoughts, and ideas. It’s our duty to see them as themselves not attacking or laughing at their opinions and thoughts.


To conclude, we have to acknowledge homosexuals as another kind of difference and permit them tomarry each other and live happily by making a harmonious family. Thus, to accept their ideas, we should know same-sex marriage shows us the variety of families. Also, they can’t change themselves into heterosexuals so we have to respecttheir own nature. Additionally, we must not have any prejudice against them just because of the fact that they are homos. We should try to co-exist together.

Thank you for reading my post. Bye!

Photo Essay: One Picture Every Day

Hello, everyone.
Today, I am going to post a photo essay about coffee. I am going to show some pictures which explain how to make 3 kinds of coffee; Americano, Capuccino, and Latte. I hope the readers know about coffee and how to make 3 representative coffee, which are the most famous ones. Also, I will tell you how can we make various coffee though we don't have an Espresso machine.

<Ingredients>

First, I will show you what we need to prepare before you make some coffee. Basically, we need roasted coffee beans, coffee filters, coffee dripper, hot water, grinder, and a cup. Additionally, we need some hot milk, a pusher, and cinnamon powder.

<Grind roasted coffee beans>


To make Americano, we need to grind coffee beans that are roasted. You can smell bitter flavor from the beans. Put them into the grinder and grind them by spinning the stick, same as the picture. You will like the feeling and also you can hear an exciting sound.

<Pour them into coffee dripper>


After you grinded them all, open the grinder and check whether it is fine. You can touch it, and you will feel soft. And then, put a coffee filter into the dripper. Lastly, pour the grinded coffee into the filter.

<Boil some water and put it on the coffee>



You need to boil some water. It will be easier when you use an electric pot because it's faster. And then, put the water on the grinded coffee. It smells very delicious and mild, but also you can feel it as bad because it's very strong. But let's wait and see what happens.

<What happens?>



We got some pure Americano. It looks really delicious. If we drink it, we can feel a little bitter, but you will be happy because of the rich flavor of Americano. It is the fundamental base of coffee when we want to make it by ourselves but we don't have an Espresso machine.

<Latte>

When we add some hot milk into Americano, it becomes latte. To make a good cup of latte, we need to make some decoration on it, such as a teddy bear, a leaf, or a heart. I really like this picture because I think it's a perfect cat to be on the latte. Also, I like the fish swimming in the coffee pond.

<Cappuccino>

(Source: http://blog.naver.com/111may?Redirect=Log&logNo=90172406036)

If you want to make softer coffee, you can add milk foam into Americano. You need to make foam with hot milk and decorate with some cinnamon powder. You can drink the softest coffee in the world when you make milk foam well.]

To sum up, I wrote some recipes to make 3 kinds of coffee and described the pictures I showed. I wish the readers could know some information about coffees.

Thank you for reading my photo essay. Bye!! ^^

Movie review-The princess bride

Today, I am going to write a movie review of ‘The Princess Bride’. It was released in 1987, and the director is Bob Reigner.

 Rob Reigner

From now on, I am going to explain the important things about movie and give my opinions about it.

‘The Princess Bride’ is a romantic comedy between a man who was believed to be dead and a woman who decided not to love somebody after the sudden death of her husband.

 Poster of 'The Princess Bride'


 Trailer of 'The Princess Bride'

In the movie, we can see various characters. Princess Buttercup and Westley(or Man-In-Black) are the main characters, who show a deep romance. But Prince Humperdinck intercepts their love. On the other hand, Fezzik, Vizzini, and Miracle Max help Westley. For another characters, there are Grandson(sick boy), Inigo(Spanish sword fighter), and Count Rugen(six fingered man).

    
                              Westley           Princess Buttercup Prince Humperdinck

Let me tell you about the plot of this movie. At first, Buttercup and Westley were once a romantic couple. But Buttercup knows that Westley was murdered by pirates and she becomes so sad. 5 years later, Prince Humperdinck chooses Buttercup as his bride, and she becomes the ‘Princess Buttercup’ even though she didn't want to. One day, a man in black comes to pirates and goes to the castle together to save her. Man in black meets Buttercup and eventually, she notices that the man in black was Westley, who is not dead. They both go to castle, but they meet Prince Humperdinck there. He promises Princess Buttercup that he will get Westley back to his home. But instead of getting him back, the prince tortures Westley cruelly. Eventually, Westley dies. However, Fezzik and Vizzini find him dead and take him to Miracle Max. He helps Westley live again and Westley goes back to castle, and rescues Buttercup. Vizzini also accomplishes his duty to kill the man who killed Vizzini’s father. Then, they lived happily ever after.





I think this movie is very childish because the plot is very easy going and can be guessed easily. Also, I thought the beginning was a sort of boredom. But we can also say that it is a quite good movie because it is a well-made romance, including some deep kisses and active action scenes. Also, because I like love stories, I was very happy to watch this kind of romance movie. 

Additionally, I liked the characters in the movie because they acted very well. I think the director casted good actors with appearances which fit their characteristics well in the movie. Even though it was the movie that can’t be happened exactly in our real life, I felt my heart fluttered, watching their romance stories.

To conclude, I watched this movie and felt it is too much fancy and boring, but also pretty good and well-made. I want to recommend this movie to the young who want to know about true love. It was a good chance to watch a whole-romance movie and write a movie review. I hope you enjoyed my post.


Thank you for reading my movie review. I wish you would watch this movie. Bye!

My three things I know to be true

My 3 things I know to be true

Hello, my name is Daheup Kho. As I started my blog, I want to introduce myself. So, I want to list three things I know about myself to be true. I have 3 special points which are distinct from others. There are Perci, Growl, and coffee-barista as the words which can introduce myself to everyone.

FIrst, Perci is my cute dog. She is 8 years old. I started to raise Percy from when I was 6. My dog, Perci likes my family and she enjoys spending time with everyone. Also, because she is old, she likes to sleep and eat. But she is still cute. I will add a photo of Perci for everyone to see her when I have time.

The middle is Perci, and the other is my panda-mouse, which is dead now.

Second, Growl is a name of a song. Actually, it's my favorite singer EXO's song. I am a big fan of EXO. I like their songs and I always watch TV program which EXO comes. Also, I listen to radio which EXO comes. My best wish is to go to fan sign event of EXO and buy some albums, bromides, stickers, and postcards. Additionally, I want to communicate with some bloggers who are interested in EXO or big fans of EXO.

Lastly, coffee-barista means I love coffee and I want to work as a barista when I get older. At my home, there are many tools for making coffee. Nowadays, I am making many kinds of coffee. I made espresso, cappuccino, americano, etc. Also, I learned how to do latte-art from Internet and tried. These are the photos of coffee I have made.
