flipboardin'

so...I found this (new) cool app called "Flipboard" through google play by accident while browsing for games on my Samsung cell phone. I checked the descriptions which I found interesting so I downloaded it and was hooked ever since. And you know how you sit and sit and sit there trying to figure out how that new apps work? yap...I was telling myself today I know I have a LOT of housework and if it wasn't for internet where you can literally go anywhere in the world now on the palm of your hand because everything is now accessible through cell phones- my housework would be done by now. But nope. After hours of  browsing online from pictures to recipes and adding it to my flipboard magazine which I keep checking every minute I I am now finally updating my blog knowing I have one interesting topic to talk about: Flipboard!

If you don't know it yet..."Flipboard" is an app that aggregates news and other content and presents it in a personalized magazine-like format. It is available for iPad, iPhone, Android and Kindle Fire. In other words Flipboard is your personal magazine.

Here's a few links where you can learn more all about Flipboard:

I hid the coffee...

I told myself  that I'll just write once a week here since I can't think of anything unique to write every single day. I was also thinking that I'll bore myself out of my new found blog if I write every day. But ..here I am. Just day after.
Yesterday,  instead of finding the air pump I needed for my tires I actually found something else that upon seeing it I realized it had been sitting in the back of my car for sometime now:

Mocha flavored Starbucks Frappuccino

Mocha flavored Starbucks frappuccino coffee drink. It comes in package of 12 and I have two of them! 24 bottles of Starbucks coffees sitting in the back of my car since last month. I remember buying these but don't remember when but I know why I bought them. It was for my son who's in college and loves Starbucks. I usually buy him loads of foods when he comes visit (or when we go see him) so he can keep them in his dorm. And whenever I buy the case of Starbucks coffee, I usually "hide" them from both of us (yes! both of us)  because we both love that coffee and we tend to drink it like it's water when it's in sight. But since he was not home when I bought it,  this time I "hid" it from me and forgot to bring it when we went up to see him last month.
Well, he'll be home in a couple of days. And this coffee is not going anywhere.

Lost & Found!

..well finally found this old online journal of mine. Can't believe it has been eight years since I last wrote here. Just getting back to doing this again. Writing really short for now until I get a hang of it again. Have quite a few ideas of what to write. But I think I'll let things go with the flow.
