The Title of our Blog

Hi Everyone, 
   I wanted to write a quick blog post about the name of our blog, Sume. When Sukyong and I created this blog together, we wanted to show both of us in the title. So we combined our names together Sukyong and Meera. And we got Sume, pronounced su-me. The first time my friend saw the title of our blog, she said something like 'Why did you name your blog some blog?' On top of that, the title of our blog sounds like 'Sue Me.' We never thought of that when we thought of the name. And we definitely don't want anyone to sue us, so please don't! 
Anyway so that is where the name of our blog came from! Check back soon for more posts!

The Magic Flute

Omg, Su here


Yesterday May, 5th, 2011
I went Opera with my host sister, Saritha to watch an opera called The Magic Flute.

Although some operas are only good at one singing or visual aspects, "The magic Flute" was good at both.

And the opera was not  hard to understand because when I was 13 years old I had seen an animated video version of the opera during music class:)  Because lyrics were German, there was subtitle on the top of the stage setting. 

It was interesting that I could understand German without subtitle sometimes since I have learned German:)

"Mutter Mutter!" "Meine liebe" kind of things! there was bunch of words that I could understand during the opera.

I loved the part that the Queen of Night, Aria because Sumi Jo who is the most famous opera singer in Korea is well know for this song:)

I heard that although her acting skill is not that strong as other opera singer, her intonation and rhythm are very accurate.

My second favorite part was when Papageno and Papagena decided to get married and design their future.
In that scene six cute boys and girls came out and followed Papageno and Papagena's dancing.
They were soooooooooooooo cute:)


I love this opera:)
I hope I have the chance to see more operas!


so cya,
Sukyong

Su's Spring Break Part 1

Hi guys Su's here:)

I'm sorry for posting late.
My spring break was kinda boring but I got to spend time with my friends, so that part was fun! 

March 14- March 17
I had a sleepover with my friend, Jin-Ju.

In the morning Jin-Ju's host father gave me a cup of cinamon apple tea.

and also he gave me a xylitol sugar which is good for health and sweet:)

Anyway it was really good tea.

And I love the pot

Jin-ju and I made muffins and a brownie for sitting around the campfire. For Jin-ju, it was her first baking.
Because we thought there was not enough chocolate in the muffins, we put more chocolate on the top of muffins. The shape reminded us of aliens.

Before we went to the campfire, we watched the play of Jin-ju's host sister, Noel.

She was an amazing actress. I love her expression :)

I hope she will continue to act.

On Saturday evening we had a campfire.
Mr.Steven told us a few stories about his Japanese friends.
We put marshmallow inside of crackers and added chocolate (S'mores).
It was delicious!


Mr.Steven told us that we can be friends with each other no matter the age difference.
It was impressed talking.

Jin-ju put golden color nail polish on my nail that night.

On Sunday we rode bikes.

Near Jin-Ju's house there was flat rode that made it easy to ride the bike.

The weather was gorgeous on Sunday:)

Until here it was exciting sleepover with Jin-Ju :) 
 Bye, 
Sukyong
