Waste Management Questionnaire

안녕하세요! Do you live in Korea? If so, I want you! Oops.. don't you think I sounded like a recruiter? =p

Anyway, I am currently doing a univ research on integrated environmental management in Seoul/Busan. Hence, I am interested to know more about how your family manages the household waste in your daily lives.

I hope you can help me by doing a simple questionnaire. The questions are listed below:

1) What are the most common types of garbage generated by your family?

2) What are the steps taken to dispose of the garbage at home?

3) What are the charges for waste disposal? Are they affordable?

4) How do you carry out reuse and recycling of household waste at home?

5) What do you think can be done to reduce the amount of food waste?

6) Can you suggest some recommendations to improve the waste management and recycling procedures?

Your feedback will help me a lot in having a more intimate knowledge of the efforts by Koreans to conserve the environment. If you intend to help me with any of the questions, you can feedback to me at ~~jacenchan (at) naver.com~~.

Please remember to give me the following details, if you don't mind.

a) Your full name, age and occupation.

b) Where do you stay? (eg. Gangnam, Seoul)

c) What type of housing are you staying in? (1-2 storey houses, high-rise, officetel, one-room, etc)

Latest Update: Project ACCOMPLISHED! Really thanks for the help! ^^

Way Back Into Love

Way Back Into Love

사랑 안으로 돌아 가는 길

Music and Lyrics OST by Haley Bennett & Hugh Grant

I've been living with a shadow overhead

난 내 머리 위로 그림자가 드리워진 채로 살았어.

I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed

난 내 침대 위로 구름이 드리워진 채로 잠을 잤어.

I've been lonely for so long

난 너무나 오랫동안 외로웠어.

Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on

과거에 갇힌채, 난 도저히 나아갈수가 없었지.

I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away

난 내 꿈과 희망을 숨겨두고만 있었지.

Just in case I ever need em again someday

혹시라도 내가 그것들이 필요할까봐서..

I've been setting aside time

난 시간에 벗어난 곳에 나 자신을 두었어.

To clear a little space in the corners of my mind

내 머릿속의 작은 공간을 지워 버리기 위해...

All I want to do is find a way back into love

사랑 안으로 돌아 갈수 있는 방법을 찾고 싶을 뿐이야.

I can't make it through without a way back into love

사랑 안으로 돌아 갈수 있는 방법 없이는 이대로 이겨낼수 없는걸...

Oh oh oh

오 오 오

I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine

오랫동안 쳐다 보았지만 별들은 반짝이길 거절했어.

I've been searching but I just don't see the signs

오랫동안 찾아 보았지만 아무런 흔적도 찾을수 없었어.

I know that it's out there

다 존재 한다는것은 알아.

There's got to be something for my soul somewhere

저기 어딘가에 내 영혼을 위한 무언가가 있을텐데...

I've been looking for someone to shed some light

누군가가 빛을 쏘아 주기를 기다렸어.

Not just somebody just to get me throught the night

밤을 지새울 아무나가 아닌...

I could use some direction

난 누군가의 도움을 조금이나마 쓸수 있을텐데..

And I'm open to your suggestions

그리고 난 당신의 제안도 받아들일수 있어.

All I want to do is find a way back into love

사랑 안으로 돌아 갈수 있는 방법을 찾고 싶을 뿐이야.

I can't make it through without a way back into love

사랑 안으로 돌아 갈수 있는 방법 없이는 이대로 이겨낼수 없는걸...

And if I open my heart again

그리고 만약 내가 마음을 또다시 연다면...

I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end

최후에는 당신이 내 곁에 있어 줄거라고 생각해요.

There are moments when I don't know if it's real

진실인지 거짓인지 헷갈리는 순간들이 있어요.

Or if anybody feels the way I feel

혹은 내가 느끼는 이 감정을 누군가도 느끼고 있을까...

I need inspiration

난 영감이 필요해요

Not just another negotiation

또 하나의 협상이 아닌...

All I want to do is find a way back into love

사랑 안으로 돌아 갈수 있는 방법을 찾고 싶을 뿐이야.

I can't make it through without a way back into love

사랑 안으로 돌아 갈수 있는 방법 없이는 이대로 이겨낼수 없는걸...

And if I open my heart to you

만약 내가 당신에게 마음을 연다면

I'm hoping you'll show me what to do

당신이 내게 뭘 해야 하는지 보여주길 바래요.

And if you help me to start again

그리고 당신이 내가 새로 시작 할수 있게 도와 준다면

You know that I'll be there for you in the end

최후에는 내가 당신의 곁에 있어 줄거라는걸 알잖아요

Lets meet up in a Café

When things in your lives seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee.

`•.¸¸.☁‧: A sweet email from Sze Hao :‧☁,.¸¸.•´

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous "yes."

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

"Now," said the professor as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things--your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favourite passions---and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car.

The sand is everything else---the small stuff. "If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

"Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first - the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked.

It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."

The Serenity Prayer

May God grant you the serenity to accept the things you cannot change;

courage to change the things you can;

and the wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time;

accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.

Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as you would have it.

Trusting that He will make all things right, if you surrender to His will.

That you may be reasonably happy in this life,

and supremely happy with Him forever in the next.
