MY NEW FASCINATION


This was my hubby's gift for our anniversary and i have just started using my nook color and i'm just hooked.Initially i did'nt read any books was just getting to know how to use it but this weekend i started reading. I was not a big fan of Nook,Kindle or any of the ebook readers cause i just love the feel of paper, the smell of old books and just the feel of curling in the couch with a book so these ebook readers was a big no-no for me but hubby surprised me with this since he knows i love reading books. But now i'm sold..
  • its super light some of the library books are hard bound and so damn heavyyou can read in the night without disturbance
  • you can hear songs while reading,
  • you have wifi
  • you can lend books with other nook members
  • The books are much cheaper than original books since it reduces the cost of printing so you see we are saving some trees and being eco-friendly here ; )
Anyway,the bonus is i get a 14 day trial for any of the magazines and you could subscribe it monthly for a low cost .. Thats a pretty good deal and so far i have subscribed only for Parenting Magazine.Let's see how it goes,so far i'm loving it.. Thanks to the hubby.. : )

LOVE FOR BOOKS




I have been reading to Jenna from the time she was very little and that has paid off very well... Books keep her occupied for a long time and her vocabulary has improved so much... She asks me to read the ''abc ''word book a million times everyday..okie!!! she does not ask literally but shoves the book into my face and says a, b,c...


Poor daddy who comes home tired after work has to read the dora book for the nth time..sometimes i take her to borders and we sit there and read for sometime...We have a huge collection of children's books and i invest our money in books instead of toys since she does not play much with them.. Her favourite toy for now are the ikea's colourful glass and spoons.. they keep her entertained for hours. Blogging about Jenna's love for books reminds me that its been really long since i read a good novel.. the last book i read was The kite runner which was 2 months book,,, time to hit the library and get my hands on some good books..

RANDOM

I have been busy the past week ,doing lot of things... like what u may think?studying...i finally finished my forensics diploma program last week and i got my graduation certificate thru mail... im planning to do a masters in oral biology which is the best bet for me ,since i dont have the heart to do the whole dentistry course again for 4 years.. its an on campus course so i might join only after i put Jenna in pre school.. until then i have to collect all the paper work and give my toefl exam ....

Besides that i have been reading... one question people ask how u have the time to read.. but its actually its how u find the time for urself.. im incredibly lucky since Jenna sleeps early.. she is in bed by 8.30 and after finishing household chores i browse,read.. its my lone time and i luv that time when the house is silent and i can read .. Right now im reading the twilight series and im so into ..i knew it was some teen fiction and wanted to know what the hoopla is about and started reading...the book is so addicting...i have to write a seperate post about the book.,,its that good..

Coming to Jenna she always want to go out to play.. she carries her shoes and my handbag and comes to me and says amma buh bye... she jus enjoys being outdoors unlike me.. i jus like to curl on the couch and read and watch tv.. her personality is developing so rapidly now... she cries until she gets what she want... she will make u laugh by making silly faces or running around the house with a towel over her head.. she has become one naughty brat ;)

BOOK WORM

Im happy Jenna inherited one quality from me....AHEM! ok from both of us,the love of reading books...if u find her sitting silently by herself she will be with a book for sure.. when its bedtime i read to her the books and she waits till i finish and turns the pages.. Her favourite books are GOOD NIGHT MOON and PAT THE BUNNY...i can vouch for these books and im sure any kid will get hooked on to the colourful pictures in the goodnight moon book and the pat the bunny book has activities,there is a page where there is a small piece of cloth over the boys head to play peek -a -boo...Nowadays if i find her running to the kitchen or bathroom,i say ''Jenna i m going to read the paul and judy book(characters in the pat the bunny book) she immediately comes crawling to me.. though this doesnt happen everytime.She jus loves reading to her... we have only few books so thought i will go the library today to get some books for her...Soon time will fly and she will be reading novels or gossip magazines like me... i love GOSSIPS...temme which woman does not like gossip???
