Reviewing Application Software: WorkTime
           Type: Shareware

Review:
           WorkTime is software that can track or tells you about how many time you have spent on doing something, and it can collect any different activities that you have done on your computer. For instance, when you activate or start using your computer, and click start on its button of a WorkTime software, a clock begins to tick, and drops down menus for you to differentiate your time among separate projects or activities. After all, when you have done your activities, it will report a window showcases everything on your computer. Plus, you can also view your productivity three different ways such as through the calendar, a spreadsheet-like grid, or a bar chart.
           Moreover, by using this WorkTime software, you will find many different reports looking at overall data analysis, program utilization, and how long you focused on a specific project. However, it can make your computer a little bit slow, because it runs all the time you turn on your computer (when you click start on it). Also, you can have only 30 day for using this program after you have installed it, because this program is 30-day trial period.

I will try to test it more and more later. The reason I choose to use this software is that I am a student, I can´t manage my time well.

Therefore, I really need it because it might help me to manage my time with all of my works easily. Also, it can track all my activities on my laptop, as well.

Khmer New Year


       ( This is a picture when Cambodian go to the pagoda )
            Khmer New Year is a traditional new year day in Cambodia. It celebrates in April or sometimes in March depending on a day in the calendar of each year. It always celebrates 3 days in a year. During these 3 days, all Cambodian always go to the pagoda and bring some foods for monk. They can go not only in the morning, but also in the afternoon, as well. Some people like to go to the pagoda in the afternoon, while some of them usually go to the pagoda in the morning. Moreover, in the afternoon and evening they prefer to play popular games or go for a walk instead. On Khmer New Year many people who live in towns or places which are very far from the capital city, they often come and visit the capital city because on that day in the capital city is very happy and has a lot of fun activities to do. In contrast, many people who live in the capital city prefer to go to their hometown or visit another cities or provinces instead. Because they think that they live in the capital city every day so it’s just the same activities and not so interesting for them, while people who live in another province think that it’s really interesting. All Cambodian really love this traditional holiday and they always enjoy their holiday on that day.
