I may write in English, but my writings are based on my life experience as a Korean woman born and raised in Korea. This is my personal notebook dedicated to subjective views. Further objectification will be required before publication. Copying or distributing this unrefined version in its current state is strictly prohibited.

Well, I think your responsiveness is much better than my ex-boyfriends'. I guess I need a cyborg boyfriend.

I think doing comedy as a foreigner is quite easy. People are ready to see you make linguistic mistakes. So they laugh easily. What's really hard is being taken seriously. Writing a very clever joke and winning an Emmy award with it will be difficult for foreigners. Not because people think you're not eligible, but because people won't follow the trajectory of your artistic experiment as you anticipate. Things like poetic license may not be easily allowed for foreigners.

But then again, maybe deletion mechanism of Nostr notes are similar to how correction tape works. It could cover the written letters but it cannot physically remove ink's smudge from papers. Or are they more similar to correction pens? Hard to tell...

This evening I've been busy taking notes on my Moleskin diary. And then I suddenly thought that Nostr notes are just like handwritten notes using ink pens. We won't be able to erase what we wrote unless there's digital correction tape 🖊️❕

I've always felt quite insecure about my English because I always wanted to work at somewhere outside South Korea (like Singapore) if there's any available job position. But whenever I watch foreigners on Korean TV who speak Korean so fluently I lose confidence immediately because I'm not sure if I will ever speak English that well.

I just watched Edge of Tomorrow and I realized I forgot to spell tomorrow. #ESL 🙄

I love this one and want to keep it as it is because it’s something I would’ve never been able to do if I had been born in the Joseon Dynasty era—even though there was no criminal law preventing women from wearing men’s clothes. (You’ll understand why if you ever learn the Korean words for ‘women’ and ‘men.’) nostr:note13h39xyg4lmv5ttetyp6x8j5uk2kz4mmvvj5dltuemhpm0wd8jhhspzntjk

I don't think my mom would ever let me wear this in public (feels a bit racy in Hanbok standard, like Gisaengs' stage outfits)

Insurance companies, in my opinion, epitomize the pinnacle of capitalism in modern society. They thrive on the fears and anxieties of individuals, much like many big brands that sell cleaning products to housewives. I vividly recall my mother’s intense fear of household bugs and germs that could potentially harm her children. My father, perpetually occupied with work, couldn’t alleviate her concerns. Imagine being a responsible parent, tasked with safeguarding your children’s well-being, yet feeling inadequate to fulfill that role perfectly. Many mothers from previous generations were deeply influenced by the marketing tactics of major companies selling a wide range of household products. As a millennial woman with a deeper understanding of marketing, I often empathize with my mother, who would have endured decades of worry fueled by the unduly persuasive campaigns of these brands.

I read a news article this morning, which made me reflect on a few possible scenarios if I advance in my career. Obviously, I can’t delete all my past notes here, but I think I could be more mindful of my writing moving forward. It’s terrifying to think that careless notes I left on social media could give people reasons to attack me and potentially ruin my career. 😞

Let's see how long my break can last this time.....

I started using Apple Intelligence to learn some new words that I can use for my English writing, but I realized that the automatic rewriting result from Apple Intelligence is gonna give me American English only. But I have many friends living in Europe, who may be familiar with British English more. In this case my writing may create confusion for them because I'm Korean, which doesn't have any implication of which English I should use. If I wanna work for a British international company, I would have to learn the British way of using English to communicate clearly with my seniors.

It never occurred to me that I may need to learn British English. This is actually giving me a headache, but I guess it's a good thing because it means I made so much progress in English learning and I reached at the point where I need to move onto the next chapter.
