Chillin' with my Nexus shoes on a fine Fall day!

I love shoes just like any typical woman in the world but my high-heel-wearing days seem to have passed. I'm more inclined to wear flat, comfortable shoes that fit my feet's need. I have high arches requiring shoes with proper arch support which makes buying or wearing regular shoes a bit daunting at times. Though I try to wear high-heeled shoes to keep up with the fashionistas whenever I go to blogging and Social Media conferences and love how it looked on me, my feet usually don't wait long enough to let me know it's "done" for the day even before the day has started! What a stinker! So, flats it is.

Leap Pad by Leap Frog - A Mini-iPad2 for Kids

Leap Frog recently came out with a nifty gadget that seem to resemble the qualities of an iPad2 but the size of a tablet. It features a touch screen, downloadable applications, e-books, built-in camera and video recorder among other things! But before you get excited, the Leap Pad is not WiFi-enabled which makes perfect sense since the target market are young children and it's main purpose is education with wholesome fun thrown in. Though I should tell you, this gadget is so high-tech and entertaining, even an adult like me enjoyed it tremendously. It is addictive - yes it is! But in  a good, rewarding kind of way of course!

Let me show you some digital proof from my Leap Frog-sponsored Learn, Create and Share Party and let YOU decide if my statement is true. These are random photos taken at the entire duration of the event.

Are You Sure You're NOT Eating Genetic Engineering Foods?

I recently got this disturbing bit of information in my inbox. According to Gary Hirshberg, President and CEO of Stonyfield: "Genetic Engineering (GE) also known as GM (Genetically modified) ingredients are in 60-70% of non-organic processed foods. Most people don't know this, and food companies aren't required to tell you!" - Ok, that last statement is quite a shocker, is it not? If that was the case then we've been fooled for years eating un-natural food just because they can hide it from us!

Rest in Peace Steve Jobs

The whole world is mourning the death of a legacy. Steve Jobs the master innovator behind Apples' personal computers, iPod, iPhone and iPad died at 56 due to undisclosed reasons, though the whole world assumes it has to do with his cancer. One can say, what a shame to die so young. Someone like him so full of talent and innovation. What a waste to be taken away by death so soon.

Steve may not have a personal relationship with all the Apple product owners in the world but he has certainly made a connection to each and everyone of us through the innovative products he has created. And thus, we are saddened by his death.
