Fleeting Fondness to SNSD

     So I had this instant liking to Korea’s SNSD (Girls Generation) because of Yoona of Love Rain. When you look at them, they are like dolls coming to life with their fancy dresses and styles. Their different beauties and hairstyles and their seemingly flawless skin would make you wonder why in the world aren’t we created equal. Haha. Anyway, when I looked at some of their pictures, I noticed that some looked alike and I can’t even distinguish one from another. They are all beautiful anyway so no big deal. The only ones I can point out when I look from picture to picture are Yoona, Sunny, and SooYoung. I recognize Yoona’s face from watching Love Rain (with Jang Geun Suk). Sunny usually have her hair styled short and blonde and SooYoung has a unique beauty that’s why I can tell both of them apart from the other members. The other girls, Tiffany, Yuri, Jessica, HyoHyun, SeoHyun and TaeYeon were also beautiful and stylish.

     I’ve only looked at their pictures and I haven’t listened to their music yet. I guess I will not reach that stage because I’m not into music which I cannot really understand (except OSTs of those Korean series I watch). 

I’m not a K-pop addict but I don’t see anything bad from those who are.

Some of their pictures. :)

These black dresses make them look somehow fierce. 

Different Views

I’d like to write something about my thoughts in philosophy and theology. This is not something deep and awakening. These are just my observations regarding the stand of the two subjects on religion.

In Theology

My teacher always teaches us the importance of religion in our lives and the significance of God’s presence in our everyday living. She stressed the value of faith and belief in God and explains to us everything she knows about Him, including His early life, the different experiences He got into, the teachings He imparted to the people and His disciples, etc. She also implied that everything in this world can be traced back to God and He is the source of everything. In short, she believes that God is the center of our lives and we must live our lives according to His will.

In Philosophy

My teacher in this subject is a little different because although he has a religion, he speaks of God daringly. By this I mean he can speak bad words to God (for discussion’s sake) and not take back his word. Anyway, some of this subject’s views about religion speak of it as something unreal and pointless. There are views that argued that religion is not something divine and is only created by man to have something to depend on and blame to if anything goes wrong in life. Religion, still according to some views, is unnecessary and must be removed from this world if people are to live independently and responsibly. This is quite a contradiction to theology’s view that God must be the center of our lives.

My View

Now this brings me to my question. Whose point of view are we to believe in? The theologians’ or the philosophers’?
