pool. Right from the balcony, we can see the scenery of the whole of

It was a traditional food from Korea. After lunch, we decided to go swimming.
We had a good time. Around 5 PM, we cleaned ourselves and prepared for a BBQ

 My Great Day of Proposing Girl
• Orientation
I woke up at about five o’clock yesterday. It wasn’t a regular day, because I
was about to propose a girl.
• Event
After praying and taking a bath, I had my early breakfast. At about nine
o’clock I was in my office but my soul wasn’t there. I was thinking about the
lines that I had to say to her.
At one o’clock, I had my lunch but I wasn’t enjoying it either. So, I practiced the
lines to almost all girls I met at my lunch. Yes, I was a little bit crazy. Finally, it
was three o’clock. I remembered all my lines. I wrapped my works and got
ready to pick her up and of course proposed her.
I met her at four o’clock, took a little walk and went to a movie. At seven, we
had a romantic dinner. I thought it was the perfect time to ask her to be my
wife. Then I said the lines that I practiced the whole afternoon.
• Reorientation
She smiled. I reached my pocket to get a ring and put it around her finger.
Then she said “Yes.” After driven her home I went back to my house.
 Spiderman
• Orientation
I was dreaming of being super hero when I was a teenager. I imagined myself as Spiderman.
• Event
One day, when I was fishing at the river I was bitten by a spider and luckily I was not dying.
At first I felt cold for 24 hours and I was alone in my room. Nobody knew about it. I didn’t tell my
family because I was afraid they would angry with me.
After that, something had happened in my body and I still did not recognize it. I lived as I did
usually, went to school, go home, eating, doing some activities and so on.
I realized at the first time that I had a superpower was when I was getting an accident.
I rode a motor cycle and suddenly there was a bus crashed me. I bounced out of the road and
my motor cycle was totally broken.
But at that case, I did not feel any hurt. There was no blood out of my body.
I was angry at that time because the bus did not stop and escaped. I run after it and I didn’t know
why I could run so fast and jump so high.
I jumped to the back of the bus and climbed it like a spider. I went to the front, stooped the bus
and took the driver out of the bus door.
I knew that I was no more normal human being. I did nothing more to the bus driver. I went back
home and decided the next action to do after that.
• Reorientation
I did nothing like the Spiderman at the movie that help people to catch the criminals.
I was an opportunist super hero. I was afraid of killing people so that I hide my power from
anybody else. I used my power only when I or my family and friends got into dangerous.
