(Author's Note: The Blog below is unedited. Lots to do for the weekend. Pardon the grammar mistakes.) Here we go ^__^ . . .
1. Video Editing For VBlogs
I received tips on video editing software for my VBlogs. The first is VirtualDub and the website is www.virtualdub.org. The second is Blazemp and the website is www.blazemp.com. I try both software. When I'm comfortable with video editing, I upload VBlogs. Thank you for waiting ^__^
2. A High School And College Friend Visiting
One of my friends from high school and college is visiting San Jose for two weeks on a business trip. Hoa found a new job in September after working four years as a director in his last job. Congrats! We went out for dinner on Thursday talking about our latest lives and just hanging out.
3. Another Friend Visiting
Another friend is visiting the Bay Area on vacation. We hang out for a couple of hours on Tuesday and went out for dinner on Friday. Arashii lives in Southern California and is an anime fan like me.
4. Crystal Reports XI
Earlier today, I went to Borders to purchase a Crystal Reports XI reference book to help me learn more about Crystal Reports XI. I reread and redid the exercises from my Crystal Reports class in April 2006. I like to learn more about Crystal because, so far, Crystal has benefited me at work doing some of my responsibilities faster and better.
5. House Plant, Candy, And Yogurt
After Borders, I went to Safeway to buy a house plant for my room, candy, and yogurt. I was sick during Christmas 2006, one Christmas I'm going to forget. During my sickness, I thought about getting a house plant for my room. I heard a house plant helps keep the air on the fresh side since house plants breathe carbon dioxide.
And Safeway had 3 for $.99 candy. I purchased Hershey's milk chocolate and Kit Kat candy bars. Chocolate has anti-oxidants. Hey, one good reason to buy candy. *Hee, hee*
And I also purchased yogurt because I'm getting braces on January 24 and I need to eat soft food during the first few days of my braces. Also, on Wednesday January 10, I'm getting four teeth pulled and I'm going on a soft diet for a few days as well. When I was a child, I hated yogurt. Today, I purchased a strawberry yogurt and a lemon yogurt. I ate the strawberry when I got home and I loved it. Yogurt is really good. What did I miss when I was a kid =P
6. RSV
Yesterday, I read an article in the Mercury News discussing Respiratory Syncytial Virus or RSV. The article says there has been an increase in people getting RSV. I'm 99% positive I got the virus since Christmas. Going to the doctor is a waste of time because antibiotics are useless against virus. I'm keeping myself warm, drinking warm fluids, eating Garlic pills, taking Vitamin C, and drinking green tea, and eating candy, LOL!
RSV is a mild sickness for which one usually doesn't require bed rest; however, RSV is a lingering virus lasting weeks. RSV infects the lungs and respiratory tract with a runny nose, cough, low-grade fever, sore throat, and mild headaches.
7. Stretches In The Meantime
I'm continuing to recovery from RSV. I'm taking it really easy on the exercises by doing simple stretches and sit-ups. I'm eager to go back to the gym to do at least the stationary bike and the treadmill. I assure everyone I take it really easy if I choose to go back to the gym. The earliest I can go is the week of January 15 because on January 10 I'm getting four teeth removed :-[=] with a break on the week of January 22 because on January 24 I get my braces :-{} I then can resume my gym schedule in February.
8. Recapping On My Braces
Wednesday January 10: Four teeth removed.
Wednesday January 17: Measurements for my braces.
Wednesday January 24: Braces installed. Expect to wear them between 1.5 to 2 years.
9. Back Ups, Laundry, And Football
I came home after Safeway, ate lunch and watch some football, and I back up some of my photos on my laptop. I'm now checking email and writing the Blog. Later tonight, I wash my clothes, stretch out, and keep warm. If I'm awake, I watch an episode of The Shield at midnight.
10. And Finally, New About Me
I updated my About Me section. The new About Me is more positive, talks more about me, and is friendlier to new people visiting my Blog. The new people get to know me better reading the About Me and I hope they get a positive impression on who I am.
