• Pastor Kim Jin-hong (김진홍; Doorae Church) states that President Lee Myung-bak is “a genius” with the potential of becoming Korea’s “second greatest President after Park Chung-hee”. Wow. This is the same Pastor who was arrested for anti-government protests during the Park dictatorship [via the Chosun Ilbo]. (Note: Former President Park Chung-hee is accredited for Korea’s economic growth which occurred alongside a brutal dictatorship and is known to be a chinil [Japanophile], having served in Manchuria under the Japanese army)
• The above note made me realise that Pharisees = Christian pastors/reverends/priests.
  ” What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you shut the door of the Kingdom of Heaven in people’s faces. You won’t go in yourselves, and you don’t let others enter either.” Matthew 23:13 (New Living Translation) This is especially true now as we are seeing more people leave the church disillusioned with its human ‘leaders’ and their fucked antics. As J.K. Rowling stated, other people’s faith and sincerity should not be compromised because of some “lunatic fringes” of Christianity. And if it does, they should know that they are directly responsible.
• Just ordered my copy of “Bad Samaritans: The Myth of Free Trade and Secret History of Capitalism” by Oxford graduate Chang Ha-joon. The Segye Ilbo is reporting that the Korean police is investigating the popularity of these “left” leaning books [via Korea Beat]. Reminds me of this.
• In love with Dizzee Rascal’s “Bonkers”, Pink’s “Bad Influence”, the Black Eyed Pea’s “I Gotta Feeling” and Lily Allen’s “Not Fair”
• And finally. Oh my god. I missed tonight’s episode of Master Chef Australia

지금도 우울하다.

나만의 비밀. 아무도 모르는 비밀.

엄마 아빠도 친구들도 모르는 비밀.

근데 더 억울한건 왜 우울한지 전혀 모르겠다.

나도 모르게 어느새 나한테 가까워졌다.

나도 모르게. 아무도 모르게.

회복이라. 회복은 없다.

어느새 나의 본질이 되어버렸다… 나도 모르게.
