Tiny Dancer, Yuna Kim

It's been quite a long time. The record shows that it's been 6 month since I logged on last time. (Well, the actual total inactivity duration time is more than 18 months, I guess.) So it can be said that it's been a very long time. But someone who works all year long and as busy as I am, it's not really that long a time. Because the time duration one feels is not as much or long as how I feel.

Now, I'm In New Jersey, a town's name called "Jamesburg." It looks like it's not that far away from the City of New York. If I had some time, I would have gone to the city and went to a Korean restaurant, and had a good hot meal and rest over there for a full day.

This town is quite a big commercial town than I had expected, and I'm beginning to like it here now. As I got off the exit 8A, from the New Jersey Turnpike, and got onto a street name called "Cranberry," I noticed a big building with a sign saying "HYUNDAI." Somehow, it touched my heart, since I'm a Korean-born US citizen.

When I came to the USA for the first time in December of 1974, there were virtually no big Korean companies at all in the States. If there was any, it would have been the Hyundai or Daewoo, of which it would have been selling only tiny commodities such as Korean made shoes or nail cutters. Nowadays, Korean companies are selling high-tech consumer goods such as HD LCD-TVs and Smart-phones, or automobiles, or world's largest commercial container ships, or offshore oil-drilling ships, by Samsung, LG, and Hyundai.

These days, however, Koreans are not just selling commodities that are manufactured by globalized conglomerates; but are selling the talents that some of the Koreans have.

Yuna Kim, for instance, is a good example. Since she became a world star figure-skater, she has been selling more commodities of "good-images-of-Korea" than any other Korean conglomerates. The value of its product is immeasurable, and cannot be bought from the street markets; but only be seen through the TV screens or watch from the ice link stands.

Moreover, in the days of new tech-era, there are other means to watch someone's extraordinarily talented performances. It's internet. YouTube is one of the means to watch it, whenever and wherever.

If don't like it. You can turn if off right away; if you like it, you can watch it over and over again, at no charge.

Today, I was watching some of the best clips of Yuna Kim's performances. It touched my heart. As a result, it triggered my thoughts to do something about it. So I gathered together some of the beautiful pictures of hers and made a slide film out of it, with music.

I thought about quite a while as to what music should be added onto the slide. It did not take very long. Elton John's "Tiny Dancer" popped out of mind very quickly. I went to Amazon.com, and then downloaded the song, paid 99 cents.

I spent several hours to making a music slide you are about to watch and hear; then another hour of words what to be written on it.

So, here it is. Enjoy it. (^^)
