Hope You've Been Exercising

Especially since all the Christmas parties are being planned at this very moment.

Whether it's a work party or a church event, get your body ready to digest all those extra calories. Just eating a bowl of salad at the restaurants is full of unneeded calories!

If you've been exercising already I suggest to add another 15 to 30 minutes to your workout! And for the couch potatoes, I suggest walking to work/school/or other place of regular duties instead of the car or bus. If walking is too long, just take a shorter bus ride and walking longer to work. Also taking the stairs instead of the elevator is a good idea and maybe even eating more breakfast (wake up earlier so that you can have time to prepare it) but eat less supper.And one last thing... please stay alive during the holiday festivities:

Be safe and plan ahead for transportation for the holiday parties please.
Drinking = NO DRIVING.
And if you do drink and you were the one who was suppose to drive your friends/co-workers back home PLEASE PAY FOR A TAXI. Yes I know you don't want to waste your money but think about it, is it really wasting money to save your life and someone else's? Don't be ashamed if you drank a little too much at the company Christmas party. It's worth it to leave your car at the restaurant and get it back in the morning.

The Initials "dof" Mean a lot to Me

Read on for those who never knew...

At 16yrs old I had broken up with my first high school boyfriend. After the breakup it triggered a perception about a world that I've always wanted to live in. I tried writing a novel about it but I had too many ideas, maybe one day someone could help me with that. The world was suppose to be called "Dreams of Fantasy." This is the reason why I call my main blog Dreams of Fantasy instead of "Kim2theKiko's Blog." Kiko was one of the characters I created for the new world.

Also I am one of the "Daughters of Florence." Pretty cool huh? My best friend J.T and I came up with the initials (her's is D.O.A, Daughter of Anne). We would use these initials when we would pass notes to each other in the hallways in high school.

Oh, by the way we passed notes because we only had 4mins between classes to chat. Two girls can't talk for only 4mins!!!

So this is what D.O.F means to me...
And I thank you for understanding.

This Will Become My Career

I love my new job!Where I work is called eXplorance.

They are the founders of an entreprise software called Blue (software used only in business). Blue is a survey creating software. Think of it this way: Photoshop is a software program that you install onto your computer so that you can create photos, images, pictures etc. So Blue is a program that is installed in company computers (on the network though) so that they can create surveys. Companies need surveys to evaluate personnel, products and services so that they can find out their strengths and work on their weaknesses. They may use the surveys on their own employees to rate employee satisfaction on: paid vacation time, managers/supervisors, even satisfaction on the availability of parking or they use it on their clients to rate services/products.

My first week was great. I'm just learning how to run Blue. After my learning period is over, my job will be testing Blue. I guess you can call me a Blue Tester! Have you heard of those guys who get paid for playing video games? Well, what they're really suppose to be doing is testing the video game to see if there are any glitches/bugs. Then they have to write a report on these bugs to inform the video game creators to fix them. That is the jist of my job, test Blue, report bugs and inform the Blue creators what needs to be fixed.There is a lot to learn. Not only do I need to know how to run Blue, I need to know how to install it over a network, because it is a server based program and just understanding the server is a job in itself. My computer education is limited to just installation of the computer's hardware (building a regular computer from scratch) and software (installation and customization of the Operating System and various programs, for example: the BIOS, Windows, programs of Windows/etc).

I take the train to work which is better than driving. Instead of paying attention to the road, I can review my notes and read non-related literature.

I'm excited for my second week!
Well that's it for this post so this is me signing off!

Bye!
