Entry #11: It is not the end...It is just the turning point!!!

Image
Well, that was quick, I still can't believe that time passed quickly and 8-week have come to an end. I didn't expect this fast. For me, this course has helped me a lot so far to improve my writing skill. One thing that I love so much in this class is doing blog. To be honest, this was my first time making my own blog like this. I have heard about blog few years ago, but I am not really interesting at blog at that time. I believed that it would just waste my time because I thought that blog was just like a diary, where people on the internet talking about their life, and other people will comment about it. Being an introvert, I do not like it when I tell my whole life on social networks and I feel that there is no benefit in blogging. Until I took this class and started blogging, I realized I was wrong. I never ever could imagine that I would have my own blog someday. After the first day when I heard that blogging is an assignment throughout this class, I was very...

Image
Hello guys !!! We meet again here. How was your? Has anyone become a K-pop fan or a BTS fan? I hope people enjoy K-pop. It seems odd to some people, but if you learn and know the story behind it, I'm sure you will love K-pop immeasurably. Today, let's have an insight into the music of BTS, which has made their popularity. I'm sure you will see things you have never seen before in music. Behind songs and music videos is the connection and meaning that you can not imagine. This is the power of K-pop in general and BTS in particular, also  which made BTS famous and create a new musical trend. "K-pop is not just music, it's a lifestyle" (Reminder: if you watch a K-pop Music video, please turn on the caption because almost all of them will have the translated lyrics, if it doesn't have, try to look for lyrics on youtube to understand it) Alright, so, we have talked about the story of BTS. Today, let's see what kind of story BTS usually put in...

Entry #8: BTS introduction: The story of Bangtan (Part 1)

Hello everyone!!! We meet again! Today, let's find out about an interesting thing!              We have talked about a lot of things around the K-pop industry in the previous posts. Today, we will take a look at a specific K-pop group and how they work. Are you excited to know more about K-pop? I'm pretty sure that you will be amazed and shocked because of the story of this group; this group is one of the most famous K-pop group recent days. With global fame, these guys are bringing K-pop into a new wave for world music. You may have heard about because of their popularity. They are a global  phenomenon, who won the top social artist award at the Billboard 2017, surpassing many global names who have the top following on social media like Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, and Shawn Mendes. Furthermore, they just became the first K-pop group to perform at the American Music Awards (AMAs) last year. Do you know who they are? Yes, they are BTS ...

Entry #9: Food Labels

Image
Today, it is easy to see that all types of food items are labeled with fresh, clean labels, 100% natural and without GMO technology etc. But are they true? I chose the picture above because I think it would be interesting to know the truth about the labels on the packaging and whether they are true or not. I believe that everyone has at least once selected the product based solely on the label of the package without paying attention to the ingredients inside the food. Sometimes the advertising on the packaging is not true. For example, if you are concerned about calories and carbs (maybe because you have diabetes or are trying to prevent it), you may not add sugar in your grocery cart. But do you know that many foods naturally contain sugar. While these products may not contain added sugars, they may contain natural sugars. And no sugar added products still may contain added ingredients like maltodextrin, and carbohydrate. These labels can confuse you and make the wrong choic...

Entry #7: The story of food

Image
I used to think that all foods are meant to provide nutrients and help us, human beings, to fill our stomachs when we are hungry. Furthermore, I have also been taught to appreciate the food and the maker of it, but I really do not understand the story behind the food until I watch the movie Fresh . The film had a tremendous impact and made me see a different perspective on food. This is not really a movie, it is a documentary that helps us to see what happen to food and how our food is treated before it reaches us. I believed that this film was made for everyone, the consumer who does not know anything about the story of food behind it.  We are too indifferent to what we eat, which we put into our bodies without regard to their origin, their quality, and whether what we eat is really fresh and healthy? Food companies and big farmers always make us believe that all the food that from them are fresh and healthy. But, is it true? How do we know if they rai...
