Halloween is around the corner and kids are excited to go trick and treating! I am sure parents are thinking of costumes by now or have already readied what their kids will wear.

A friend once joked she does not need eye makeup anymore because she has dark circles under her eyes.

With the recent sad plight of this country, I really hope the children in the affected areas will get to enjoy Halloween. If not, I hope Christmas is something to look forward to.

When we went to attend Red Ribbon’s White Forest Cake presentation, we were treated to one of the newest addition to the bakeshop’s menu: Grilled Ensaymada and Farmer’s Ham.

This is a wonderful set that goes with the White Forest Cake. Finish off with a cup of coffee and I am blissfully and gastronomically happy.

That said, appetite suppressants can wait after this plate and this plate have been finished.

Burp! Excuse me.

I have written in this post about playing Farm Town. I have been at it since June and it took me almost forever to reach level 30. To those in the know, I was able to get my greenhouse and gazebo yesterday, right after I got my new level. Woohoo!

FT (Farm Town) is not just a virtual game of plowing, planting and harvesting crops. Sure, there is also shopping for equipments, buildings and other things necessary to make the farm look real. There are cute animals too and who knows? maybe soon, we might be able to buy cattle supplies for them tee-hee!

I know of people who scoff at us for being happy with FT. I don’t mind, to each his own and frankly, we (my neighbors and I) are not enamored with this person anyway.

Facebook friends are going gaga over Farm Town, one of the addicting apps in Facebook. Who wouldn’t love this game, it is quite challenging to build one’s own dream farm, acquiring properties along the way by earning coins through hard work (read: plowing and planting one’s own farm and neighbors’ farms). It is also interactive, well, this depends on who your neighbors are of course.

There I am back when I was at level 8, amongst real life friends, having a photo opportunity in a JU’s farm. This was back when we had to do a screen shot of the farms because there was no camera yet 🙂

I must say I am very happy with my neighbors and buddies that I might even enjoy living in my own farm rather than in my own neighborhood in RL, lol!

Jonah Berger, who has been studying trends for several years, cautions people to do research first before doing anything, tweeting or blogging (or Plurking) about something that is interesting.

The topic may be that latest crazy video that has been getting a lot of attention, or the newest trend in diet supplement or maybe that used-to-be-ignored lowly vegetable that has so much health potential.

Whatever is it, Jonah Berger says that it is better to analyze the trend how this topic has penetrated the web or even the real world.

Why so?

You would not want to look like the only person who hasn’t seen nor heard of this interesting thing you found when a lot, say, more than half a million people have already seen or head of this interesting topic.

Yes, this topic is very much interesting and I hope I am not the millionth person to write about it. 😀
