So it’s gonna be Orlando Magic who’ll face the Los Angeles Lakers in this season’s finals. Actually, I’m not a NBA fan but I do know about the latest updates especially with the season’s upcoming finals because that’s what everyone’s been talking out loud at Facebook. Plus, the TV’s on sports channel always whenever the husband’s home. So I don’t have a choice but to join in cheering for the team that he’s rooting for. Yes, that’s what you call a supportive wife. LOL.

And it seems I can’t get enough, I got to chat with a long time buddy a while ago and he kept on yakking how great Kobe is and how happy that the Lakers will have a home court advantage on the first couple of the finals game. He won’t be able to watch it live though because he had a tough time securing for tickets. Anyway, they have ESPN on their Direct TV package and watching it on a Direct Satellite TV is just like watching live right inside the Staples Center with its stunning high definition. For more of DirecTV Specials and its latest offerings, check out their site. Meanwhile, hope my friend forgives me for not rooting for his Kobe because the husband’s on Magic’s side.

This was taken more than a year ago and so I can not recall if this is a “La Coste” (the alligator logo of a French high-end apparel company) or a “Crocs” (an American company manufacturing plastic clogs). Anyway, my research led me to know that this is actually a crocodile. See that bottom teeth overlapping onto it’s top lip? Well, that’s one of the differences between a crocodile and an alligator. Further, Crocodiles have a very long, narrow, V-shaped snouts, while the alligators’ snouts are wider and U-shaped.

These are my son’s first books when he was just 4 months old. At such a young age, we’ve started exposing him to books so he’d develop the habit of reading. Gladly, he’s addicted with his books now at 1 year old, especially the Lift-the-Flap ones.
