Tablet for my Toddler

My little girl is using my android cellphone and nook color in both reading and playing some educational games. I'm really thinking about getting her own 'ereader/educational game tablet' so I'm thinking of v.reader but then that's only ereader then I found out leap frog's leappad, she will soon have her own playbook tablet, her exclusive learning tablet... We still need to wait 6 more days before we can pre-order one. I'm sure she'll enjoy using it and she'll learn at the same time. In the meantime, she's learning through lexia reading.

On Reading Books

Well, I'm using both in my nook color. I started using Amazon Kindle application in the HTC Android phone my sister gave me. I like the cheaper price of some of their books, the built in dictionary, highlighting and note taking availability. Since I want a permanent or long-term e-reader, nook color arrived. I like the bonus of checking my facebook, email, googletalk or yahoo messanger. So now, my nook color which I call "my book" is always with me everywhere I go. Now, I have a total of 7 purchase of books: The Wedding of Nicholas Sparks, 25 Favorite Children's Book, ESV Study Bible: Crossway, 25 Favorite Novels, 81 Classic Literature, The Daily Five and Love & Respect". I want to collect all Nicholas Sparks novel, re-read "The Notebook" and "A Walk to Remember". I like nook's pdf page counter. I don't know if Amazon Kindle has that option as well. Well, I'm happy with my nook and I'm also glad that my sister and I can share books through the "Lend Me" application nook has. Perhaps, beginning of next month I'll be able to give my youngest sister her own nook color so the three of us can lend books. :) I guess, I just have to stop reading once in awhile so I can update my blogs. :o

Vacation Time!

We are officially on our summer vacation! Hooray!!!! We're still planning on what to do on our vacation, so far I've decided on teaching my toddler while I'm on vacation. Yesterday, we were out shopping for materials I will use in teaching her some of the basic standards and benchmarks for kindergarten students. We're hoping we can go to managaha island in two weeks. Well, that's about it for now. We need to stay active this summer; I also need to loose some weight. Well, I know its achievable, its not as hard as getting benzodiazepines detox addiction treatment. p90x and/or insanity workout here I come!!

Blogging...

I'm so glad to know that my two sisters now added blogging in their list of hobbies... They've found a great use of their slr and web cameras. I think my mom is also contemplating on having her own blog.  It'll be fun to read their blogs and see their artographies.  Well, as for me it will be nice if I can start documenting some important events and milestones in my kids lives but somehow, I find it hard to accomplish my role lately.  Hopefully, I'll have enough time.

Book Collection!

Sixty more pages and I'd be finish with "The Wedding" of Nicholas Sparks. I'm thinking about what Nicholas Sparks book to purchase next. I've read "The Notebook", "Walk to Remember", "Dear John", "Message in the Bottle" & "The Rescue" already but I can't decide whether to get a book I haven't read or to read "The Notebook" again. Hmmm, decisions... I'll probably busy reading book reviews later on. I'm also trying to figure out a way to download my nook book collections from one android to another. I like using my nook color at home and if I'm on the road, I prefer my incredible htc with me.  I can't believe I've so many applications installed in both device already!  I even have life insurance calculator in one of them!

Meet my Nook Color

Since it's hard to read books in the android phone that my sister gave me, I surrendered it and gave it to hubby who uses it to play games and listen to audio books. I on the other hand, ordered Barnes and Nobles Nook Color which was shipped here in less than 2 weeks.



It is the great alternative to the expensive tablet I'm eying and a wonderful update to a mere e-reader. I'm happy to have it.  My supportive husband had it rooted for me because I want to have my Amazon Kindle, KJV Bible, Nook Library, Gmail and GoogleTalk. The picture above is how it now looks with the icons I always use in the home page. I now receive my invitations from family or friends with just my awesome "book" with me. It is my hope to renew my passion for reading: I'm starting with collecting all of Nicholas Sparks' novel, the best romance author I know so far. :) ;I'm currently reading "The Wedding" while sipping my Mocca Frappe.
