Hola a todos
Esta vez voy a escribir en español porque creo que es una manera mas facil de expresar lo que siento y lo que he vivido despues de algunos meses.
No soy la unica persona que no se siente satisfecha en esta vida y esto es porque aun no he encontrado algo que realmente me guste y me haga feliz. Se que las leyes y condiciones laborales en muchisimos lugares aqui son deplorables, algunos no les alcanza el salario minimo que es una mentada de madre ni para vivir al dia ya que la comida y el transporte salen muy caro. Otros no se como le hacen para sobrevivir que inclusive logran sacar a sus familias adelante con un salario realmente bajo. He conocido personas que tienen que trabajar los 2 para poder vivir ya que la vida no es tan facil como la pintan. Y aunado a esto el crecimiento poblacional es mayor, cada año salen millones de profesionistas que se quieren integrar al mundo laboral, es decir cada vez hay mas competencia y esto hace que la oferta sea menor y mucha la demanda, por lo que las empresas pagan lo menos que pueden porque al fin y al cabo siempre va a haber alguien con necesidad y que acepte un salario miserable.
En el fondo pienso que cada quien tiene la vida que desea, si no te va bien, si no te gusta tu trabajo, si te tratan mal, si no te quieren, etc. que haces ahi? no dejes de los demas influyan o no dependas de los demas para ser feliz. Como decia el Sr Steve Jobs que en paz descanse, busca algo que realmente te guste y se feliz, si no lo encuentras sigue buscando. El otro dia vi en la tv que entrevistaron a un estilista que decia que el es lic en comunicaciones pero que lo que realmente le deja dinero es el oficio de ser estilista, el dice que todos somos buenos para algo solo es cosa de explotar ese talento que tenemos y no menospreciar los oficios porque estos te deja mas dinero que tener un salario de profesionista. Realmente creo que son palabras de sabiduria y que debemos de quitarnos ese miedo de que pasara si .... por lo que creo que es tiempo de actuar y hacer algo ya sea bien o mal que al final aprendemos de nuestros errores y aprendemos mas de los que no se cuestionan nada.
La felicidad solo depende de nosotros mismos, quizas con poco dinero o con nada de dinero y una excelente idea podemos empezar con algo. Hay que echarle coco y crear nuevos negocios que lo que necesita este pais es que la gente sea emprendedora y cree fuentes de trabajos para aquellos millones que salen de las universidades y no tienen empleos porque ya no hay empresas suficientes para todos.
¿Que opinas?

Master degree
Does anybody know about a master degree getting a scholarship in its country?
I think that with a master degree I can get a door open, at least to give some lessons at university. My objective is to be a teacher in the mornings and to have my own company in the evenings and weekends. I think in these way i'll be happier and It's going to be more relaxing. What do you think?

Job
Hi guys how have you been?
I've been very busy at work, and I don't know what you think but I realized that the environment at work is very important. I work in a shitty company, on second thoughts it's not a shitty company but its personnel themselves. Work in teams don't exist and a lot of people come and go.
I pray everyday for doing the best of myself and to solve troubles. And up to now things are going so so. I just want to get a job where the personnel will be better, a lot of frienship.
Anyway If you want to write me please feel free to write a message. GOOD PEOPLE are FRIENDS 4 Ever!

Teenagers who don't enjoy the student's life
Hi everybody, I want to tell something to the young people who are students. Enjoy every single second of your life, don't feel sad, don't be jelous of someone. Trust me I wish I could bring back the time when I was at school, but that's impossible. Make friends, have fun, go to everywhere, be naughty, appreciate all of your friends, stay away of trouble, if you drink do it responsively and don't drive, do some type of sport, wake up early and go to sleep late, take advantage of the time, and enjoy it. Know yourself.
Stop saying I want to be older to get my own money, you don't really like the adult life lol.

Education
Do you really thing that it's ok that you have to pay for your education?.
In my opinion we all should have the right to study any level of education, from kindergarten to a phd. I mean , we all pay taxes in some way so the government should pay for bringing a good education. But the truth is that they don't prefer a well educated town, that's why they don't want to improve the educational system at least in many countries around the world.
It's time that the town will be well educated to improve any working field, to develop new environmentally friend products, green products, to reduce waste, etc.
In many countries you have to spend a fortune to be able to study a major, and postgraduate studies. If you are lucky and smart you can get a scholarship or a grant that you have to pay after you finish your studies.
It seems like schools are concentration camps to control the crowd, you have to study like 20 years and after that you have to make a living in a way, working for others or being a entrepreneur. Just by getting a degree not necessarily means that you are going to get hired because some companies want people that come from the best universities and they are looking for a certain qualification and a profile. It helps that you have studies but you need more than that.
How's the educational system in your country? Do you have to pay for it? Is it a good system? What do you think?

The best time to learn something.
Hi guys how have you been?
please someone leave a message I need some feedback to know if you like my site.
Anyway. I have seen that I can learn better in the mornings and at nights, in the morning just after I wake up until 10 am, and at nights from 8 pm to before of going to sleep. I feel calm, without worries in the mornings, and at nights I feel the same and inspired.
In the mornings I use that time to learn some Chinese, I listen to the audio and write what I listen to. And at nights I read in English, Chat, and Translate things.
When I'm worried I can't focus on studying anything, it's like if I read something and don't understand a word. So you have to be relaxed anytime you want to learn something.
Sometimes I'm lazy and don't study but when I wake up I told myself study Chinese even though I don't feel good cause little by little I'll learn something new today, and when I get toghether all that knowledge I'll feel very proud of myself. Persistence is the key of success.
Like everybody says when it comes to learning a language it's better to study 30 min a day to study 8 hours together once a week.
Si tienen información podemos intercambiarla o publicarla aqui en el blog para aprender todos. Saludos!

Possessives in Chinese
I started it over with my Chinese studies. Today I learned something about possessives. We have to use the word "de" to refer to the possessives. Let's see some examples:
I - Wo3.
My - Wo3 de.
My house - Wo3 de jia1.
My friend - Wo3 de peng2 you3.
My good friend - Wo3 de hao3 peng2 you3.
My very good friend - Wo3 hen3 hao3 de peng2 you3.
My friend's house- Wo3 peng2 you3 de jia1.
This is very basic but it's very useful. If you are studying chinese by yourself this is great.
I - Wo3.
My - Wo3 de.
My house - Wo3 de jia1.
My friend - Wo3 de peng2 you3.
My good friend - Wo3 de hao3 peng2 you3.
My very good friend - Wo3 hen3 hao3 de peng2 you3.
My friend's house- Wo3 peng2 you3 de jia1.
This is very basic but it's very useful. If you are studying chinese by yourself this is great.

guitar players
I have some favourite guitar players, in fact right know I listen to one of them, he's an italian-american and his name is Joe Satriani. His own signature guitar is Ibanez and has his own signature pedal fx too and amps. I don't know the style he plays It's something like fusion of genres.
John Petrucci is another talented guitar player, he plays in the band "Dream theater" and has recorded many cds, one of them is an instrumental cd called suspended animation, by the way it's too cool. He has his own signature guitar Ernie ball music man, it's a 7-string electric guitar.
Another one is Paul Gilbert whom I have listened to him just few times. I don't know so much about him, he plays like jazz,blue, rock genres and his fingers are really long. He has many guitar clinics for the japanese people and has his band called Mr Big. He can speak japanese.
Steve Vai is another talented guitar player that was alumni of Joe Satriani. It's well known around the world. I don't know so much about it either.
And of course I think the first one in developing the guitar techniques and
feeling was Jimy Hendrix.
I could write the roll and I'll never finish it.
Music is something than can change us. I really appreciate the music as long
as it makes me feel better and gives me some kind of joy.
So Just seat and listen to your favourite guitar player, band, orchestra or
someone singing. You'll enjoy it a lot.
Thank you for having two hears!

Illegal Immigration
Illegal immigration.
I watched the news and I was shocked when I knew that 240 illegal immigrants were caught. They were travelling in 2 trailer trucks, around 120 people inside each container. Some of them were tied.
They were from Guatemala, Honduras, Ecuador, Nepal, China, Japan and other central america countries. They spent around 7 thousand dollars each one. I can't imagine how the guy from Nepal, China and Japan could have cross the planet without being caught.
I'm sorry about them because they want to get a better life, they had dreams, and today the dream is over, on the other hand they had died if they should have continued with the trip because the temperature in the containers was too hot and the air was little. So they should think that they're lucky to get a second chance to live.
If they had joined all that money they could've opened a company instead of going to the USA for the american dream. The american dream is over!!!.

Ross Kemp Extreme world
I've been watching a British tv program with Ross Kemp who is an actor and has made roles as a ganster in the soap operas.
He has been in different places all over the world where there are troubles, such as violence, drugs dealing, deforestation, pollution, etc. One of his programs was shot in Ecuador, and Brazil. The big trouble in Ecuador is that one of the oil companies deforested a big area of the Amazon rain forest to drill and get the oil in the area, and this company made a ecocide dumping all the toxic waste in big ponds that kills all of the animal and vegetation around. It seems the government has done nothing to make the company clean up the zone. Then the second place is Brazil where the deforestation in the rain forest is vast, there are illegal sawmills in the area, and the police is trying to stop them but it seems they need more organization. A guy from greanpeace says that a tree makes more money than the drugs and that's why the people are destroying the forest. That's too sad because the rain forests absorbs a big amount of CO2 of the atmosphere. There are rangers who prefer to have cattle instead of rain forest and they say that if the world wants them to conserve the rain forest then they should pay for it, because everybody lives better than them and is polluting the world with the Air conditioners, cars, etc.

Another spanish note
Hi Guys =) Thank you for visiting my blog.
This time I'm going to talk about something about Spanish that it's really easy to understand but sometimes we don't know how to conjugate it.
It's a pain in a neck to learn this correctly.
If we use the verb print -IMPRIMIR- and you need to say Have you printed the document already? We have to say - ¿YA IMPRIMISTE EL DOCUMENTO?. Is it printed? - ¿ESTÁ IMPRESO?
Another dificult thing is to express if you fit in a little space, for example when you're on a bus and you want to sit, and there are no room to swing a cat because of the distance between seats, and you have to say that you don't fit there. So you must say NO QUEPO. QUEPO comes from the verb CABER.
The big mistakes that we made are:
PRINT- IMPRIMIR IMPRIMIDO (WRONG) - IMPRESO (CORRECT)
FIT -CABER. CABO (WRONG) - QUEPO (CORRECT)
I hope this will be a great help. Please leave their comments.

Ciberlife
Nowadays with the usage of Internet we can meet people from all over the world and there are no barriers. We can use different software packages to keep in touch with friends, we can use msn, paltalk, skype, sharedtalk, livemocha, facebook, twitter, orkut, etc. And we can spend a lot of time chatting with our friends. And maybe we can feel something for them and maybe we can save money to meet that person in the real life.
Once I was in a chat room and a friend asked me to join to a website where we can create our avatar and we can interact with other avatars, there are cities and apparently It was like the real life but virtual. Of course I didn't want to try that software because I prefer not to spend a lot of my time in that. In that site you can not prove if the person behind the computer is a guy, girl, child. People can lie easily and if you trust them you can end up frustrated because someone play along with you.
Although it's difficult to trust people on internet, it's true that I can notice when a person is sincere, easygoing, and talkative, so I consider them as my friends and I think I'd great to meet them in person someday.
We have to be aware of not giving our personal data to any person. Because it's well known that like people steal numbers of credit cars there are people who steal identities. So let's wide open our eyes.

Soup
Hola a todos. This time I'll talk about something about spanish.
Soup can be "sopa" or "caldo". Examples: Chicken soup = "Caldo de pollo", "consomé de pollo"; don't say "sopa de pollo" that sounds really weird.
Fish soup = "Caldo de pescado", "consomé de pescado", "chilpachole de pescado", it depends on the dish.
Onion soup = "sopa de cebolla" It is always "sopa" in this case.
Meat stock = "caldo de res".
Yummy ! Bon appetite!

Dale Carnegie
I've been reading a good book of Dale Carnegie. (Carnegui) And I was interested in knowing more about his life. Doing a quickly research I learned something about his life.
He was come from a poor family, that had a farm and breed pigs and they had to move because of the floods. They move to another place and there was a school in a city. He went to that school and could live in a city if he had the money but he didn't. He commuted from the farm to the school and vice versa riding a horse. He was ashamed because of his tight clothes.
He wanted to stand out from the crowd and realized that the only ones who stood out were the football players, basketball players and those who won oratory contests. He knew he wasn't good at sports so he participated in a oratory contest and studied a lot. He got prepared very well at nights and while he commuted. At the end he won the contest.
After finishing his studies he got a job in sales and had to visit all the rangers of the zone. He quit and went to another place by train, he didn't have money and made a deal to feed the animals in the freight car/wagon in exchange for his ticket. Then he got another job as a vendor of bacon, ham and cream. He went to different places by train. When his customers couldn't pay for the produce he took a dozen of shoes and sold to the train workers and with that money he paid back the company for the ham, bacon, etc. He did an excellent work and was promoted but he didn't accept and quit. Then he moved to NY to study and perform role plays for a while, he knew he wasn't good at it and quit. After that he got another job in sales, this time it was for selling trucks. He missed a lot the free time, and quit so that he could have time to write his books. He wanted to be a teacher and thought that he was really good at oratory. He asked for a job in a religious institution as a oratory teacher for businessmen and he wanted a wage of 2 dollars a day, but the institution didn't accept. He insisted again but he said that if he was successful at the courses then the institution had to pay him a percentage of it. He was very successful and wrote some books. After that time he was earning one dollar per minute for his courses.
One of the rearches that did the University in Chigado said that everybody was interested in:
1. Health
2. The ability to deal with the people.
3. the technique to get along well with people and influence on them.
4. They want to learn instructions that can be used inmediatly in business, social networks and at home.
So in at that time there wasn't any book about that. So that's why he wrote a useful book.
I think that everybody has a task in this life and Dale Carnegie found it. No matter how tough your life is you can get your objectives.

Vacations
The exposition to the sun is accumulative, If you are too exposed to it you may end up getting skin cancer. On vacations and everyday we stay outside we should take care of our skins. I've heard that we should put on some sunblock before going outside. A doctor said that If we don't have enough money to buy expensive products for the skin, at least we should buy sunblock and use it everyday. In the long term the skin will look better than the people who have been exposed to the sun lights without protection.
I live in a country where it's warmer and hot most of the year, and well I clean my face and I put a hydratation cream and that's it, but I don't protect from the sun. I need to get a peaked cap or a beach hat and some sunblock.
I know that in cold places the people take advantage of the summer time and travel to a hotter place and take sun baths. I don't know if that's good or not for the skin, but it's good for their bones.
Better safe than sorry.

Supermarkets
Hi guys, I'm really sorry for not writing anything in these days. Today let's talk about the big supermarkets like Walmart and the pros and cons of it.
It turns out that Walmart wants to open a new store in a town near the city where I live. The town is considered like one of the most touristic spots within the area, it has many traditions, its architecture is unique and it's supposed to be protected by the Archaeology and History National Institute. This institute is in charge of preserving the architecture of the old houses and buildings, so If they did their job they wouldn't let Walmart to settle in the town.
Mom and pops businesses alleged that they are going to shut because they can't compete against the low prices of the supermarket's merchandise. The crowd said that the supermarket would destroy the architecture of the place because of the size and big industrial facilities they required and because it has nothing to do with the view of the town.
Today the town came to my city to protest and disagree about it.
I have heard in other places for example in some of the archaeological zones that Walmart has tried to settle and the people went to the streets to protest.
On my humble point of view I hope that this supermarket won't be settle in the town, because the people are going to lose their incomes, and apart from that it is going to destroy the view of the town. Even though the supermarket rent or buy a big old house and respect the facade they need a lot of land to build the parking lot, and it will look really awful. I think that all the money the supermarket gets goes directly to the USA. So let's better buy the things on the corner shops.
What do you think about it?
Have an excellent weekend and have fun. Peace

Mom and pops businesses alleged that they are going to shut because they can't compete against the low prices of the supermarket's merchandise. The crowd said that the supermarket would destroy the architecture of the place because of the size and big industrial facilities they required and because it has nothing to do with the view of the town.
Today the town came to my city to protest and disagree about it.
I have heard in other places for example in some of the archaeological zones that Walmart has tried to settle and the people went to the streets to protest.
On my humble point of view I hope that this supermarket won't be settle in the town, because the people are going to lose their incomes, and apart from that it is going to destroy the view of the town. Even though the supermarket rent or buy a big old house and respect the facade they need a lot of land to build the parking lot, and it will look really awful. I think that all the money the supermarket gets goes directly to the USA. So let's better buy the things on the corner shops.
What do you think about it?
Have an excellent weekend and have fun. Peace

Speaking Spanish
This time I'll analize how foreigners speak Spanish.
The British vice prime minister Nick Clegg speaks this way. Check the video.
My comments are that he's fluent. If I didn't know his nacionality I wouldn't say that he's British. He has a spanish accent when speaking. Everybody can understand him regardless the few mistakes he did, but that's acceptable. In spanish although people speak gramatically wrong any spanish native speaker can get them.
Now lets see Nelly Furtado.
She is very brave at speaking Spanish. We can listen some mistakes in the gender words.
Let's now see Michelle Rodriguez.
She is very good at Spanish, I could notice only one mistake when she says "succeso" instead of "éxito". She does it very well because her family is "latina" and she must have learned the language at home.
The last person is Robert from a tv program called GEM
He is very fluent at Spanish. Although he has been living in Mexico for years, he can't get rid of his American accent. Most of the American people when speaking Spanish have a similar accent, unless they come from a latina's family
No matter what accent they have everybody can understand them when Speaking Spanish.

The positive mental attitude
To end the month with a good reading. I want to comment something about another book I'm reading "The positive mental attitude". I know that It's really difficult to get rid of the pessimistic attitude we have. I consider myself as a pessimist. So that's why I'm reading that book to change my attitude and to realize that being optimist is better to face all the situations we encounter in our lives.
What your mind can believe, then you can get it with a positive mental attitude.
When suddenly you receive a good idea, write it down. Use always pencil and a sheet of paper or a notebook or whatever.
When you have a trouble ask questions and your mind will work on it until you know how to solve the problem.
Do it now makes the difference.
Hope is the basic ingredient to stimulate yourself and others.
Stimulate others trusting them and with faith.
You can use letters to stimulate others.
When you have confidence in others, the latter get the success.
Motivate yourself saying the words of what you can be, example. "Be agressive", "Be sincere", etc and use the Do it now principle.
Study, think and plan with a positive mental attitude.
Those are part of the notes I took from the book that I haven't finished reading it.
I've dealt with different kind of people during my life. Those that are optimistic I admire and are a good example of how I should be. In family are few optimistic people unfortunately, so that's why I need to learn how to be optimist and practice that to be successful.
I think the book is worth reading it. If you don't have that skill you should read it.
Have an excellent day and end of month.

Resistencia civil pacífica / peacefully civil resistance
Hoy voy a hablar de algunas cosas que podemos hacer en nuestros lugares para protestar y obligar a los gobiernos y a las empresas a que hagan algo en beneficio de todos. Estas acciones dependen de cada persona y si cada quién pone su granito de arena entonces es una excelente estrategía para lograr nuestros objetivos como sociedad.
Hace poco recibí un email en que hablaba de la resistencia civil pacífica, te preguntarás y ¿qué es la resistencia civil pacífica?, te voy a decir algunos ejemplos para que te des una idea.
Resulta que vas seguido a un centro comercial en el que tiene un gran estacionamiento y cada mes le suben el precio, obvio le suben el precio porque es un gran negocio independientemente si la gente compre o no en los locales comerciales, con el solo hecho de ir a la plaza en tu auto, el dueño del centro comercial se vuelve millonario. Definitivamente te das cuenta de eso y analizas que el estacionamiento es un requisito obligatorio que debe de tener los centros comerciales y que no deberían de cobrar, entonces la solución es no ir al centro comercial en tu carro. Si haces esto los dueños van a perder muchisimo dinero y como no va a seguir siendo negocio, entonces van a reducir o a quitar la tarifa del estacionamiento.
Otro ejemplo: La gasolina, aqui siempre sube el precio de la gasolina. La solución hay que andar en bicicleta, o caminar, usar lo menos posible el automovil para que demostremos que estamos inconformes y que tienen que hacer algo para reducir el precio del combustible.
La electricidad es el mismo caso, tenemos que buscar alguna manera de no consumir tanta electricidad y si se puede usar algun tipo de tecnología para producir nuestra propia energía electrica.
El aumento de los precios de la carne por ejemplo, pues no compremos carne, comamos otras cosas.
Si realmente queremos cambiar las cosas entonces actuemos. Cada quien ponga su granito de arena para construir lo que más queramos para nuestra comunidad.

A few time ago I got an email that was about the peacefully civil resistance, and you may ask and what the peacefully civil resistance is? I'm going to tell you some examples to grasp the idea.
It turns out that you go to the mall often, that has a big parking lot and the parking lot fee is raised each month because it's a big business regardless if the people buy or not something in the stores, with the mere fact of going there with your car, the owner of the mall is turning into a millionaire. Definitely you realized that and analize that having a parking lot is a obligatory requirement for the malls and they shoudln't charge for it, then the solution is not going to the mall with your car. If you do that, the owner of the mall is going to loose a lot of money and it's already no longer a business, then the fee is going to be reduced or it has going to be removed.
Another example: The gasoline, here the gasoline price rises always. The solution is that we have to ride the bycicles, walk, and use the car as less as possible to demonstrate we don't agree with the price, so the companies or government have to do something to reduce the cost of the gasoline.
The electricity is the same case, we have to look for a way not to use so much energy if you can you can use some technology to produce your own electricity.
The rise of the price of the meat for example, so we don't buy meat, we eat another things.
If we really want to change the things then we act. Each one does his own part t to build what we want the most for our community.

Cameroon
Hi guys, how have you been? I went to a conference about Cameroon with my friend yesterday and we met a french girl and a cameroonian guy. We talked a little bit with the french girl and she explained us about some African handcrafts that were there. There were many crafts but what I liked the most was a very weird mask made of coconut's fiber.
The Cameroonian guy spoke in my natal language with a touch of french accent, he showed us a power point presentation. He said that Cameroon was named that way because the portuguese were the first ones in going there and they named 2 rivers like "Camaroes" that means shrimps.
The coin there is the African franc and you can buy many things with little money. For example a meal cost less than 1 usd. You can buy a 3-story building with 1000 usd.
There are 2 nature reserves with a lot of wild animals, I think they take care of the animals and keep preserving the nature.
The oficial languages in Cameroon are French and English. There are 8 States where French is spoken and 2 states where English is spoken. So it's like Canada.
Cameroon is a peaceful country. They haven't had a war or a conflict. The people there are pacific. The government has given a lot of scholarships to the good students to go abroad and then when they go back home they can get a job easily.
I think the government has focus a lot on education.
After the conference I saw part of a documentary and what I noticed was that the life there is completely different from here. First of all the babies are taken out from their mothers and are given to another family, It could be the mother's sister or another person, that's because they want their children to be completely independent.
The houses of the movie were small and there's no lawn, actually I didn't see lawn, all was ground. And I could notice that people were happy even though they seem to have a precarious life.
I think Cameroonian people are healthier than the people from here I think they don't worry a lot.
I learned something new about Cameroon, in fact this is my first contact with the African culture.

Hanging out.
Yesterday I hanged out with some friends and we went to a foreigners' school to watch a short film and due to the delay of my friends I waited for hers for hours and at the end we didn't watch anything. After that there were glasses with apple sparky juice, pasties and sausage rolls , so we ate some of them and drank the juice.
As we had something to eat and drink, we decided to go to the cafe that is located in an alley and we ordered cafe, tea and chocolate drinks. One of my friends met a person there and I stayed with my other new friend. We were talking there when a little homeless female kid came and she was begging us to buy a rose she was selling, I felt really bad about the kid and I gave her some money and told her to keep the rose but she didn't keep it and left the rose on the table. I can't believe that no one helps homeless children to get a better life. They're are the future of any nation and If they grew with problems then when they are adults they may commit some crimes.
I feel really sorry about them, they shouldn't be on the streets. I think each time I saw a homeless person reminds me that how inequal is the world. I want an equal world in all the senses including human beings, nature and animals equality for all. We have to remember the symbiosis nature principle. Everybody depends on everybody and everything. We are part of the same world so we take care of it.

Our Brain
Hi my friends. It's good to see you.
Before start writing I want to say that I'm with the people of Japan. I'm really concerned about what happened there and I feel really sorry for the families that lost a relative.
Yesterday in a conversation with my family an interesting topic came up. My aunt was talking about a book she read the name of the book is "what if your other half instead of an orange is a grapefruit" (Que tal si tu media naranja es toronja). In that book the author explains how the men's and women's brains work, and what is interesting for men and women. Then my dad said that the human beings only use the 10% of their brain. And well in order to improve the capacities of the brain is required to do different things that we don't usually do in a normal day because in a day we do repetitive tasks. For example: We can blindfold ourselves and walk carefully in a room and experience new sentations, we can play a musical instrument like drums, the keyboard, guitar, etc. , we can learn new languages like chinese or japanese where we have to remember the strokes' order and the meaning of the characteres, we can write with our left hand if we're right-handed or vice versa. These are some of the examples we can do to develop our brain.
What do you think?

An interesting week
This was a very interesting and fun week. I hanged out with some friends, and I met my friend's girlfriend who only speaks English. I talked to her for a while and I really felt very comfortable with my English despite of not having practiced it for some weeks. Sometimes I said how do I say...? just to think about the word I was trying to remember, for example I didn't remember the word environment. She asked me many questions about my life what did I do, What my plans were, If I was able to move to any place, and things like that; I also asked her the same questions, and well I think the conversation was going well until a friend of us arrived and we had to join 2 tables and for some reason we all changed seats so my friend's girlfriend sit far from my seat and we couldn't keep talking. The rest is history.
I want to point out some important things about speaking.
Speak in an easy way. Use simple verbs. Don't try to spend so much time remembering a word, If you don't remember it use another word or explain the person what the word is used for or the meaning.
Listen carefully the conversation and catch key words, it's not so important to get the 100% of the words in a conversation but it's important to know the general idea.
Relax when speaking, don't worry too much about what you're going to ask when you're listening to the person. When you're calm you can remember the words, and you'll feel comfortable with the conversation.
Do your best to speak correctly, using the correct tones, stress, and the pronunciation. If you don't know it use another word you know it's pronunciation. It's not so good that the other person says what did you say? You can loose confidence.
Be brave and don't be shy to speak. If you never try it you never improve your English.
And the most important thing is that you have to ENJOY the language.

Singing songs
Another good technique to improve our speaking skills and to have more fluency is by listening to and singing our favorite songs regardless the language.
When you sing you push yourself to speak faster and well it's fun too. You'll learn pronunciation and common expressions, vocabulary, and many other things. So enjoy singing your favorite songs.
Some songs are really catchy, so take the advantage of it to sing the same song during all day long over and over again.
You can use any voice recorder software and record yourself and then play and listen to your voice and you'll see if your pronunciation is quite similar to the original song or not. And sooner or later you'll realize that your speaking is much better.
Enjoy it.

Most important things than money
Money is being ruled our lives forever. We live in a fake world, institutions, companies, economic systems, etc have been fucking up our way of thinking.
Why do people believe the more money and goods they can get the happier they'll be? Because the media have convinced them to think that, and I've seen a bunch of families with problems because they don't have the money to buy the most fashion clothes, the new brand sport car, etc. That's ridiculous! But that's the truth.
Actually the money is making people be more stressed and for this reason there is a lot of crime, illness, the expectancy of life is lower, among other problems.
Find out who create the money and why, you'll realize that it was an invention to make all the people slaves.
We should live in a world where no money exists and everyone work together to share the food, care, water, etc, like it was at the beginning, we have to manage the finite resources in the most efficient way.
We have to evolve if we want a balance world in all the ways.
We have to open our mind and change the world today.
For the best world. The revolution is now!

Documentary
I watched a documentary that talks about how the money is created from the nothing, and how the powerful people use the money to make countries ask for a loan. All the economic systems in the world are corrupted no matter if they're capitalist, communist, etc. All the systems need and use the money to manage them, so the video named the global economic system like "monetarism".
The big companies have more money than the countries by itself, and well they expand their bussiness all over the world and that's called the globalization, the products are made in the places where the man power conditions is not regulated, the workers live in the same place where manufacture the goods, some of the cases children are hired and in a nutshell they're a kind of slaves, because they work long hours, live there, are feed, and are paid a zilch. If a machine produces the goods cheaper then the workers are laid off. Many people loses their jobs and there are competition, so everybody has to be in competition with themselves for the jobs, and obviously the wages of the jobs are little and the people when they get the jobs the wages are just for basic needs such as food, accommodation and transportation. So in this way we are all slaves of the money.
The only purpose of such companies is to get the highest profit no matter the people, the nature nor the planet.
I think that the money was created to control us, there are people that they don't have any material necessities that live in the rain forest or in isolated places and I think that they are happier than the people we live in the cities, because they're completely integrated into the nature they're part of the planet and we aren't. Sometimes I wish I could be in a place like that without any contact with the predator people, and play with the animals that we haven't take care of for a long time.
Something has to happen so the people can be integrated into the nature again.

Many people loses their jobs and there are competition, so everybody has to be in competition with themselves for the jobs, and obviously the wages of the jobs are little and the people when they get the jobs the wages are just for basic needs such as food, accommodation and transportation. So in this way we are all slaves of the money.
The only purpose of such companies is to get the highest profit no matter the people, the nature nor the planet.
I think that the money was created to control us, there are people that they don't have any material necessities that live in the rain forest or in isolated places and I think that they are happier than the people we live in the cities, because they're completely integrated into the nature they're part of the planet and we aren't. Sometimes I wish I could be in a place like that without any contact with the predator people, and play with the animals that we haven't take care of for a long time.
Something has to happen so the people can be integrated into the nature again.

Chinese basic lesson
I'll write some sentences I've learned in Chinese lately.
Chinese is a tonal language and I've learned that there must be either hen3 or ma with an adjective to say a sentence.
hen3 = very
ma = question mark
wei4 shen2 me = why
kan4 shui1 = read a book
wo3 = I
ta1 = He/she
dou1 = all/both
he2 = and
xiang3 = would like to
jian4 = meet someone,
tai4 = too
neng2 = can
wei4 shen2 me ni3 hen3 mang2 = why are you busy?
ta1 kan4 shu1 ma? = Does he read a book?
ta1 bu4 kan4 shu1 = He doesn't read a book?
wei4 shen2 me ta1 bu4 kan4 shu1 = Why does he not read a book?
Ta1 hen3 mang2 = He is busy.
xian2 zai4 = now
ta1 xian2 zai4 hen3 mang2 = he is busy now
wei4 shen2 me ta1 hen3 mang2 = why is he busy?
ta1 xian2 zai hen3 hao3 = he is ok now.
wei4 shen2 me ni3 xian2 zai4 hen mang2 = why are you busy now?
ta1 men xian2 zai4 bu4 hen3 mang2 ke3shi4 ta1 men hen3 hao3 - They are not very busy now but they're doing well.
ta1 he2 wo3 xian2 zai4 dou1 hen3 hao3 = He and I are both doing well.
ta1 xiang3 kan4 shu1
wo3 ye xiang kan shu keshi wo xian zai hen mang
xiang3 = want , think
wo xiang3 ni = i'm thinking on you
xo xiang3 chi fan = I want to eat

San Valentin
Esta fecha solo es importante para los negocios ya que sólo utilizan este pretexto para vender lo que sea, como por ejemplo: tickets de cine, cenas, velas, corazones, globos, flores, chocolates, cartas, ropa, ropa interior, chanclas, zapatos, relojes, cinturones, aretes, collares, pulseras, etc.
Y bueno las personas usan esta fecha para recordar el amor que tienen hacia sus parejas y amigos; yo creo que en todo el año puedes hacer eso y esta fecha no representa nada para mi, solo es una estrategia de marketing en la que las empresas ganan millones de dolares.
Viendo el tema desde este enfoque de marketing es una muy buena oportunidad para publicar ofertas, regalar algun pequeño detalle a las personas que compren un producto y servicio ya que de esta manera lograrán que los clientes regresén en alguna otra ocasión. Estas fechas van a ser buenas para todos ya que va a haber dinero que va a circular y de alguna manera reactiva la economía.
Para mi va a ser un dia común y corriente, no tengo nada que celebrar. ¿Y para ti ?

How I learned my mother tongue.
Ok guys I'll tell you something about how I learned my mother tongue.
First of all when since when I was born my parents always talked to my no matter if I could understand or speak. So I'm pretty sure that I got used to the language, the sounds, etc. Then I went to kindergarten and I remember that I learned basic stuff by means of images, pictures, colors, sounds, etc and I learned how to write letters, numbers, figures, etc. and I wrote lines of the same letter, figure,etc over and over again. Then in elementary school I was learned how to pronounce syllables such as ba,be,bi,bo,bu , ca,que,qui,co,cu, and things like that. Then after learned that I started to read slowly. Then I was learned how to conjugate the verbs and I wrote lines of the conjugated verbs in manny different times, present, past, future, present progressive, past progressive, etc. And those were the homework. I had to use a dictionary to conjugate the verbs. And well I remember that it was a lot of work, and probably now I don't remember almost anything of grammar but I got used to the language and the same pattern that it's repeated over and over again, but remeber that there are exceptions like in any other language.
So maybe it'll help you if you write the lines.
Well that's the way it worked for me. I hope you can use part of your time to do that.
Good luck with your studies. Greetings.

January is gone
Time really flies, January is gone.
In terms of job, my life is a nightmare, I'm not a jack-of-all-trades so most of the time I'm not suitable for a job. But I'm sure I can perform any job as long as I received training.
Things in Egypt are not going well, I watched the news, and I agree with the people up to a point, the president in Egypt has been there for 30 years so It's necessary to take him out of the presidency. But what I don't agree is that people are destroying the museums, and that's not fair, museums are part of their history and they should respect those places. I don't know what's going to happen there, but I hope the things recover soon.
Sometimes I think that there must be a way to change our governments peacefully, like Ghandy did. We all need to be Ghandy to change the things.

Tricky test
I got a contact on internet for an opening position. It was really weird because I posted an advertisement on a site 2 or 3 months ago to look for a job in a city that it's located in the center of my country, and last week I received an email with a problem to solve, I tried to do it but I couldn't solve it because of the complexity. A week later I received another e mail from the same guy and he seems a kind of desperate to find a guy to hire. I asked for more information and he gave me his phone number, I called him and talk for 15 minutes about the job and the requirements. Then he sent me another problem.
I checked it today and try to solve but for me there are no enough data to solve it. And apart from that the problem says that I need to specify the data that I don't have, and I don't have any idea on how to do it. I think that's too tricky, in fact he commented that nobody has passed the tests.
That job position is my ideal job so I hope I can get it.

Good morning / Surreal dream
Good morning everybody.
My grandfather's gone (is dead) for more than 10 years, so each time I saw him in my dreams I'm very happy to see him and I take control of my dream.
Last night that happened. I saw him, and in the beginning he looked to be the same age before he died, and then he looked older. The point that was he make fault of the things are happening to the people who get smuggled goods, he said that people still smuggle goods that contain drugs in it, and he show us a female shoe without sole as an example. He said that everybody was guilty for the problems because they buy those kind of products.
It was a very surreal dream.
Es un sueño muy raro y por eso es que todavía lo recuerdo.
Cuentame algún sueño que recuerdes.

Human's mind
The human mind is so difficult to understand that sometimes I don't even know why I feel good or bad, especially when there are worries the body stresses itself and the mind thinks a thousand of ideas, situations, problems, solutions per minutes. The point is that the body never rests if you are thru this.
For example I haven't slept well for 3 nights, I woke up at the crack of the dawn and I can't relax.
Last year I read a book called "Sales Dogs", and the author explained that dogs' minds are better than the humans' minds in the terms of that dogs never think about what they're going to do the next day, or what the people are going to think about them if they can not catch the ball (if the can't success). I remember looking at my dog with a big smile and happy almost all the time, except when he was lost for many days going after a bitch.
I wish I had a dog's most of the time, just enjoying the present.

2011 Resolutions
Hello everybody I hope you had a nice time in new year's eve. In my case it was like a normal day except that I met my family. By the way, did already you have your resolutions for this 2011?
One of my resolutions for this year is to manage my time better, I feel that I can get the most out of my it if I use it effectively. Last year for example I waste a lot of time on the web.
Another resolution is to be more social and talking about it tomorrow there will be a tv show about people skills, so I won't miss it.
The most common resolutions are to quit any addiction and exercise, and well the thing is to start doing or stop doing the things you want or not to do until it turns into a habit and then it's going to be a part of your life.
I hope you can be consistent about your resolutions.
