I didn't have any intention to have my own blog. I just couldn't understand people who wanted to publish their private life on Internet. This is how I came to have my 'I Hate X' blog. 1. I answered 'I hate all prepostions!' for a question 'what's your favorite preposition?'on our department blog. The stupid question was brought up by Kobe whom I plan to get rid of some day soon. 2. I began saying 'I hate...' everyday because life as a linguist was hard in the first quarter. 3. You-Jin suggested me to have my own blog called 'I Hate X' on my birthday party at the end of the first quarter since I seemed to have no problem of hating something new every day. 4. It was a joke, but Kobe practically pushed me to make my blog. The results? 1. My blog has a sister blog called 'I love X' by some one that I hate. 2. Several people whose name was mentioned on my blog try to kill me slowly including my roommate. This is what you get for being honest.
I hate phonology. No doubt. How can I distinguish between allophones and phonemes? What is derivation? What's a phonetic motivation? Why can I not do my homework after I read all required readings and even more? Why can I not understand the materials when I read them?

Damn you, Nobu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just think of it this way: "phonetics" (and by extension the allophone) is what actually comes out of our mouths (sounds, that is), while "phonology" (and by extension the phoneme) describes what we _think_ we're saying.
