Are Scene Kids Carefree in their Lifestyle?

Are Scene Kids Carefree in their Lifestyle?
 


This question may raise a conflict among people because it seems that this is based on the assumption that what you are outside is the same as inside.
People just cannot avoid judging others based on the outside appearance. But this may not be true to many scene kids because the way they look is just an effect of the modern lifestyle.
If you are a scene kid and you don’t want your personality to be affected by negative assumptions, maintain your good behavior in public scene. Be amiable to everyone especially to your own circle of friends.
Let others think what they believe and be surprised of what you really are deep inside. Error in judgment is often committed by people about scene kids believing that they are horrible, carefree kids who do nothing but spread bad rumors against others and are not friendly to deal with.
There’s no need to act this way just to be “in” the crowd. Instead of adopting bad traits which annoy people, there is nothing that can replace good behavior in public scene. Create an impression that you are sporting a scene style merely because it’s cool, not because you want to display a rugged attitude.
Whatever way you act and speak, you can’t please others. People will always criticize you wherever you are and whatever you do, good or bad. Just stick it out with your pleasing personality and be confident. Just think that you suit that kind of scene kid looks because you are good-looking and modern.

Korean Lunar New Year Seollal Tradition

Lunar new year is not only celebrated in China, but Korea do also. Lunar New Year or Korea new year is called Seollal (설날) or Sol-Nal. Seollal is the first day of the Korean lunar calendar. It is the most important of the traditional Korean holidays.


Korean Seollal Tradition

Seollal is a major holidays on Korea. On that Seollal day, Korean`s wear their traditional costume (Hanbok), have ancestor-memorial services, and bow to their elders and wish each other Happy New Years. Followed by eating traditional Korean dishes such as ddeokguk and playing games.

Koreans start the New Year by eating “rice-soup” in the morning as a celebration of “getting a year older” and make a big bow to elders as an expression of respect. Elders grant money called “Sae-Bae Don” as a return to the big bow

On the morning of Sol-nal, everyone dresses in specially prepared, traditional clothes (usually new and fresh). Generally, these clothes are decorated with five colors. They are called Sol-bim.

Early in the morning, every family gathers at their eldest male member's home to perform Cha-rye, ancestral memorial rites. Bowls of Ttok-kuk are served. This is a soup of thinly, sliced white rice cake, boiled in a thick beef broth topped with bright garnishes and green onions.

Ttok-kuk means "adding age." People believe if they have a bowl of this soup, they will become one year older. Koreans traditionally add one to their age, not after their birthdays but after Sol-nal.

After the big, very special breakfast, the younger people bow to the their elders, wishing them health and long life, good luck, and prosperity through the whole year. This bowing is called Se-bae or Jol.

This year, Korean New Year will start from 4th February 2010. In chinese Zodiac, this year will be Tiger Year.
