In Memoriam
























______________________________________________________

I am indebted to too many people.
Many people are suffering too much because of me.
The sufferings that will come are unfathomable.
The rest of my life is a burden for others.
Because of poor health, I can not do anything.
I can't read nor write.

Don't be too sad.
Life and death are both just a part of nature.
Don't feel sorry.
Don't blame anyone.
It's all fate.

Cremate my body
and set up a small gravestone near home,
I've thought about this for a long time.

- Former President Roh Moo-Hyun's suicide letter
_____________________________________________________

Pictures were taken when we went to his hometown last year in Bong Ha Town, Gimhae.

More than words can say, Our family is deeply saddened by what happened to the former President. He didn't deserve this kind of death. May he rest in peace.

To pay 25k for an old, really full of scratches phone (because of Chloe) is too much for me since sooner or later I also need to replace it. In the end, it turned out not to be a free phone(850,000 won / $690). Tommy bought this phone for me saying that I need a "much, much better phone" because of his daughter...hahaha! and because I've been always using free phones since I came here in Korea (which are NOT really FREE PHONES because of the additional services included in the phone bill for the first few months). So, I resulted picking thi...

The Woes of a Filipino English Teacher

by Thess Manangan (Busan, South Korea) ---------------------------------- This aticle was shared with us by Ate Thess last Saturday at the FEESK meeting. It was published as a featured article in KOTESOL's English Connection ten years ago. We were very thankful and fortunate to have her as a guest speaker this month. Thanks ate Thess~! --------------------------------- Are native speaking English teachers better qualified to teach English than non-native speaking English teachers? Since living in Korea for more than six years, I have asked myself this question countless times. Non-native speakers of English, especially non-white Asians, face a difficult task finding quality teaching positions. Being Filipino, I have faced many closed doors when looking for teaching posts. It is not easy because Koreans hold certain perceptions of what foreign English teachers should look and sound like. If you don’t fit their perception, then you are simply “not qualified” to teach English. I came ...
