What is happiness?
For sure, happiness is not a visual thing. Happiness is invisual feeling. However, we can read it on the face of happy people. Are there necessary conditions for happiness?. Some say that money, health and love, etc. are necessary for happiness. If we do not have some of them, would we be unhappy? Or If we do have all of them, would we be happy?
My answer is.. " I don't Know."
Feeling is a subjective thing. I think Optimistic thought can make people happy easily.
Although a pessimisitic, critical person has many thing which other peopel want to have, the person is difficult to feel happiness, satisfied.

Pro-ana and Pro-mia web sites
source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDY1pws-kOE&mode=related&search
The reporter, Jamie Roth, interviewed the three women who suffered from eating disorder but now recovered. The reporter argued how harmful and dangerous "pro-ana" (pro-anorexia) and "pro-mia" (pro-bulimia) web sites are to people who are suffering from eating disorder. According to the interview, these website reassure people with anorexia or bulimia and aggrevate eating disorder. The pro-ana web sites show the thin commandment in their site. The content is shocking. Those are ,for instance, if you aren't thin, you aren't attractive and Being thin is more important than others. People with eating disorder visit these web sites because they are loney. and through it, they think they don't have to feel guilty. - they felt guilty about fasting and overeating and then vomiting.
Thus they become to log onto these web site obsessively. Finally, the reporter insisted these pro -ana and pro -mia web sites must disappear as soon as possible.
I know what being thin means in our society and how powerful that notion is. Even I can't deny being thin is more beautiful. Neverthless, I agree with the reporter. I think these web sites are evil to the patients and not friends.

What is good parenting?
Emotional support is very important to children. The lack of emotional support would lead children to misbehave or be depressed. So I think reading children's mind and saying back to children is very good. For example, when a yonger brother is born, then a child is likely to think he/she is less loved by parents than a yonger brother. Then parents should say they know his/her mind and thought and those are wrong. Even though it looks no big deal, the effect would be big.
When children misbehave, parents should talk to children first. But they keep misbehaving and not listening to their parents, then spanking could be a good way to discipline children. Children could learn right from wrong.

Toronto Island
In early May, I went to toronto island with my friend.
My friend was scheduled to return to Korea a few days after the day.
So, We decided to spend a joyful day at the Toronto island.
Fortunately, it was clear, warm, crispy. you know. In April, it had been cold and cloudy.
We took lots of pictures. Due to clear weather, they were good..
took a walk chatting.. so nice..
After that, we went to downtown for dinner.. we looked around to find a retaurant. Then, a woman talked to us, "Hey, ladies.. What are you looking for?" .. We were a little surprised. but soon we got to feel her kindness. She showed us the way to a fantastic Italian restaurant.
We ordered a Pasta and a Pizza. They were so delicious.!! ^^ We were satisfied with the dishes, and again felt thanks to her.
Now my friend is in korea.. I miss her..
