Nook Simple Touch Reader

I'm a reader by heart. But it took me forever to buy an e-reader. My research about it has been on & off until I couldn't put it off anymore so I finally bought one. From B&N Nook family, I bought Nook Simple Touch Reader. I am currently reading The Sorceress by Michael Scott, the third part from the Nicholas Flamel series.

Huh...

I did not blog for 5 months. Why? I blame Facebook. I have been a member since early this year but I was not active and for 4 hours I deactivated it. Because I don't post anything. So I deactivated it for 4 hours. Why did I activated it back? I have no idea.

Then last summer I was surfing the net, not really doing anything. I got an invite to Farmtown. I had invites before but I just ignored it, well because I didn't know what it was. So I checked it out and since then I got hooked.

Now I have two farms in Farmtown; one in Farmville, 4 aquariums in Fishville, a very raucous pet in Petville, I'm on level 54 in Cafe World and sometimes I play Bejeweled while waiting for all my crops to grow and all my recipes cooking.

So yes, I blame Facebook and Zynga games.

I love Facebook and Zynga!

My Moleskine Planner Hack

Inspired by Flickr group DIY planner, I decided to use my moleskine squared notebook to customize my planner. I don't really need a lot of dividers/papers in my planner. Instead of buying a ready made one, I searched Flickr for diaries/planners that are DIY. It turns out there's a lot of pictures in the group, enough for me to "copy" and customize it in my own liking.

I have three moleskine: Large squared notebook which I adored, Moleskine City Notebook Los Angeles, even though I don't live in the city, there is so much to write about it, and the moleskine volant series. I initially wanted to use the volant for my planner but I changed my mind and used the squared one instead.

My pen is a Pilot multi pen that I got from Jetpens.com. I love that site, so many pens and I would love to have them all. But I still have a lot of pens.

Fiery hot.

I re-read Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Next on my list are the historian and in defense of food.

Is it fall yet?

Zankou Chicken

Zankou Chicken a specialty of the Armenian community in Glendale, CA. My friend brought me this chicken a few years back and loved it, but that time I just know that's the store is in Anaheim. Good thing my friend moved to Glendale area and I remembered about this sumptuous chicken. What I love is the garlic butter sauce. Not a good dating meal but so good in my stomach. Comes with pita bread which i love.

on my way to buying Zankou chicken I passed by a baklava bakery. So I tried the almond baklava. It's good but too sweet for me. Just one piece is enough.

LA Lakers vs Orlando Magic

I don't know why I'm even writing about the LA Lakers. I'm not into sports. But I guess given where I live now, it's just hard ignore the camaraderie that's been going around. Sports bars, pizza joints and restaurants have been busy advertising their

 specialties and beer menu for the best of seven game of NBA.
