Family Guy...my favorite cartoon show
I' ve never laughed so hard in my entire life by just watching a cartoon... here are some clips that i thought were the best i've seen so far! jejeje
Paintball...So fun!!!
Paintball is a sport in which participants eliminate opponents from play by hitting them with paintballs, spherical gelatin capsules containing primarily polyethylene glycol, other non-toxic and water-soluble substances, and dye, shot from a compressed-gas-powered gun, commonly called a marker.
Paintball draws a wide array of players, and the Sporting Goods Manufacturer's Association estimates that over 30 million people play annually in the United States alone. Insurance statistics show that paintball is one of the safest sports in existence, even more so than tennis.
Games can be played either indoors or outdoors and take various forms, of which some of the most popular are woodsball, scenario and speedball, also sometimes known as tourneyball under various circumstances. Rules for playing paintball vary widely, with most designed to ensure that participants enjoy the sport in a safe environment. The sport requires a significant amount of equipment and has even developed its own slang.
A game of paintball usually involves two opposing teams seeking to eliminate all of the other team's players or to complete an objective, such as retrieving a flag, eliminating a specific player, or other paintball variations. An average, non-professional game of paintball usually lasts around five minutes to half an hour. Since its inception, paintball has drawn a crowd of both casual and serious players.

My coments to the people in my class about their blogs...
I told monky that injustice is being going on since the beginnings of time and that i dont think anyone cant do anything to stop it, because prejudice and hate cant be erased and its a shame but true...
My comment to butterfly effect was to "put more information in her blogspot" because she had only posted 2 entries.
In my other comment i told boris that i agreed with him that english is a very powerfull tool in our days, to find work etc. and i also told him that the people in china are the fastest growing economy in the world .
In my final comment i visited raquel's blog and i found it very interesting because she talks about my major which is graphic design and the way to make logos for companies and make them succesfull because if you dont have a great image to the public you cannot succed in the business world.
and finally i visited ramon gotera's blog and i found out that he wants to be a preacher and i told him that it was rare that someone in our times somebody is thinking to do that, but i wish him the best.

Resume Writing Tips
Writing a resume is intimidating for everyone, so don't worry, you're not alone. What makes resume writing difficult is identifying what to include, what not to, what to highlight, what to de-emphasize, etc. HR professionals and hiring managers receive hundreds (if not thousands) of resumes for any given position; therefore, the bottom line is that they will spend about 10-30 seconds on yours. Organizing information incorrectly could cost you a shot at an interview, unfortunately it's a very common mistake made by job seekers.
Enough said, onto the resume writing tips....
Before putting your pen to paper (or fingers to the keys), begin by determining your objective (do this prior to writing the resume). You should clearly state what sort of a job you want, and know what kinds of skills and experiences are needed to do well in that job.
Now that you have your objective, you're on your way.
Strive to be clear and concise, as the sole purpose is to have a potential employer contact you for an interview. Bottom line – you should put yourself in the shoes of the resume reader - when looking at the job qualifications needed for the position; what would you be looking for in a candidate - Obviously, that is what you should include in your resume.
Use bullet points with short sentences rather than lengthy paragraphs.As noted above, resumes are read quickly (usually 10-30 seconds). Therefore, having key phrases standing alone and bulleted will help the reader see the important information at a glance - while at the same time absorbing the most important information. Again, don't worry about the specifics; you will go into the details during the interview.
Use action words- words like prepared, managed, developed, monitored, and presented will cause your resume to stand out. In addition to standing out to a reader - you are also insuring that if your resume is scanned, the computer will pick up on the words. You read correctly, some companies now scan in your resume, and have computers pick the resumes to be looked at. The computers are looking for one thing – they’re looking for keywords that have been picked by the hiring manager. These are action key words that relate to the position; therefore not including them could mean your resume is disregarded as a "non-match". I’ve devoted a section to resume format, and will deal with how to format your resume for computer scanners. We've compiled a list of action words to include here.//http://www.how-to-write-a-resume.org/action_verbs.htm
You should always use %'s, $'s and #'s. Percentages, dollar totals, and numbers stand out in the body of a resume. I’ve included an example below of a job duty described with them (correct), and without (incorrect). As is obvious with the below examples, being specific does not mean being lengthy.
Example
Incorrect: Sold advertising to 15 companies
Correct: Closed 15 strategic accounts billing in excess of $20M annually
Highlight your strengths, and what is most relevant to the potential employer.
Match the needs of the hiring company - Review job postings online and in the newspapers for positions that interest you.
Above all in your resume and interview - you must be positive. Therefore, avoid including negative and irrelevant points. If you feel your graduation date will subject you to age discrimination, leave it off your resume. If you do some duties in your current job that don't support your job search objective, do not include them. Focus on the duties that do support your objective, and leave off irrelevant personal information like your race, weight, and height.
Let me give you one tidbit from my studies that will improve the appearance of your resume. White space is the open area of an ad, and white space is important to your resume. Open up the newspaper, and take note of which ads first catch your eye. Are they the ads that are jammed full of text and pictures, or are they ads that have a large amount of unused space ("white space"). This is done to grab your attention, as you are always attracted to open areas. For this reason, don't worry if you are having a hard time filling the page with text; increase your line spacing to compensate – this will increase the white space – and really, that’s a good thing.
How long should my resume be? What size font should I use? - The font size should be no smaller than 10 point, and the length of your resume should be 1-2 pages. Yes, you read correctly; you can use more than one page. But remember, keep it concise. It's ok to use 2 pages for your resume, however it’s not necessary.
Ask a friend, and get an outside opinion on your resume before sending it off. You should always have a 3rd party or resume critique service review your resume. You are so close to your situation, it can be difficult for you to note all your high points and clearly convey all your accomplishments.
OK, you’re ready to start applying for positions – When submitting your resume, you should apply for some jobs that appear to be above your qualifications, apply to positions that are a match, and apply to positions which may be beneath you. Why? Perhaps the position beneath will turn out to be more than it appeared once you interview for them. Or perhaps once you have your foot in the door you can learn of other opportunities. If nothing else, interviewing more and more will increase your interviewing skills. Like anything else, repetition will decrease your nervousness, and increase your skills at attacking the tough questions.

Paragraph about finding a job on the internet
Paragraph
To find the right job is very hard and very difficult and it might be easy for anyone that is a college student or a graduate college student. Many people are looking for a job but they do not find it because they did not study enough o just don’t need a job as much as other people. But anyone with enthusiasm could find the right job. And my experience finding a job on the internet has been great because you interact with people of other companies that are trying to look for professionals and I found out that there are a lot of opportunities out there.
