My Lifeguard Story: Early Start

This summer break, i have chance to participate in work&travel program and i decided to work as a lifeguard since I've heard a lot about being a lifeguard in the summer. 

At the early start, it took me to the swimming pool more often practicing my swimming skill after i quit 10 year of being a swimmer. I seriously don't want to lose this job so i keep practicing as often as possible. Before i get job interview with High Sierra Pool, i had to send them video of my swimming test; swim 300 yards, swim back and fort retrieve 10 pounds brick and trade water for 2 minute without using hands. After i passed all those two process, the next step is training. It took 4 days for the training. The first day we lectured about lifeguard primary and secondary responsibilities of the lifeguard and lots of thing about being a lifeguard after that we spent 6 hours in the pool for rescue training. the second day, we learnt how to CPR , AED and first-aid and the administration of oxygen and other half day, we spent hours in the pool again played as a real lifeguard monitoring patrons in the pool and my instructor made some emergency cases in the pool. It was kinda tough for my first time monitoring people and since a lot of hours in the pool, the rescue tube is my best friend now. The other 2 day, i took exam to complete my certificate and learnt pool operator like water chemical and pump. Now i already completed my certificate and really excited to start my first job ever in the US. I hope i will have a great summer time there. As my instructor said, honestly, life-guarding is one of the best jobs out there. Others are great, but nothing beats getting paid to yell at people and tan.

The Practical Way: How Japanese Super Heroes Makes It Work

The Difference Between Two Sides of the World You might have heard about Marvel Studio and DC Movies by now. Their movies are filled with World Class actors and actresses with top of the industry Visual Effects quality as their most well-known selling point. But there is a small country in Asia which still produces super heroes movies with almost none of those privileges Hollywood movies have. That place is Japan, where Super Heroes, movies -Tokusatsu- are filmed with real stunts in suits acting with minimal visual effects and featuring mostly new actors.  CGI Is the Last Resort As I mentioned, Hollywood Super Heroes movies are overblown with CGI, practically in every scene. However, Japanese Tokusatsu is on the other side of the spectrum. A show like Kamen Rider, Super Sentai and Ultraman still utilize real stuntman in a costume to shoot action scenes for the show.
