Just Life| Your Favorite Television Series At The Library
One of the benefits of having a library card is that you can check out your favorite television series from the library for free.
Why pay $50 for a DVD set, when you can borrow it from the library for free and you can keep it for three weeks.
Here are a few television series that you can borrow from your local library:
Just search the library catalog for the listing of your favorite television series.

Just Life| Dragons Love Tacos
Mom, have you read " Dragons love tacos"?
No.
Mom, have you read " The day the crayons quit"?
No.
I felt so uncool.
So I borrowed these two picture books from the library and my daughter read them to me with enthusiasm.
Then a few weeks later, it was my turn to surprise her.
Oh, Ari, Ari, have you read " The day the crayons came home"?
No.
Me neither. But I placed it on hold so we can both enjoy this brand new book.

Just Life| Madam Tussauds' Wax Museum
Back in May, we were walking around San Francisco and we came across the Madame Tussauds' wax museum. A handsome Leonardo Dicaprio greeted us at the door.
We took pictures with Dalai Lama, President Obama, Salma Hayak, and the most infamous of all, Al Capone.
Then I read a grizzly account about Madame Tussauds. She was the art tutor of Louis XVI's sister and she lived in Versaille. After the revolution she was imprisoned and later was forced to show her allegiance to the French revolution by making death masks of executed nobles including the king and queen of France.
Anyway, if you go to San Francisco, check out Madame Tussauds' wax museum. It is very interesting.
Here is the address. The museum is near pier 39.
145 Jefferson St Ste 600
San Francisco, CA 94133 Tel:
Here are some travel books from your local library:
Top 10 San Francisco
Walking San Francisco : 30 savvy tours exploring steep streets, grand hotels, dive bars, and waterfront parks
Exploring the back roads : 28 day trips in the Greater Bay Area

Just Life| Chocolate Bible
For all the chocolate lovers out there, I have got a few recipe books for you.
The first book is " Chocolate Bible" by Christine McFadden.
So, I am browsing through this book. The Hazelnut chocolate cake looks so tasty. Since I am a terrible baker, I am looking to see if this recipe is meant for me or for Chef Gordon Ramsay. Thank goodness, the recipe seems easy enough even for me.
Then a co-worker mentioned that there is a book called " Death by chocolate".
No way!
But he wasn't kidding. We even have this book in our catalog.
And guess what, we have another book with similar title.
It is called:
When it is my time to go, death by chocolate or chocolate cake wouldn't be all that bad.
Now the question is who is going to bake that Hazelnut chocolate cake for me to taste.:)

Just Life| Wonders of Storytime
There is this cute little boy who has been coming to my story time for the past few months.
When I first met him, he was too shy to even look at me.
Every story time, he would sit in front of me like a perfect little gentleman and he would listen attentively when I was reading.
However, anytime we sang songs, he was either too shy to participate or he didn't know any of the songs that we were were singing. He would simply observe us.
Nowadays, he is a totally different kid. Thanks to his awesome mom who has been bringing him to the story time every week.
Now he feels at home during the story time and I am happy to report that recently, he has been singing up a storm.
These days, he proudly sings the ABC song, counts to 10, and knows many of the other songs.
And best of all, he looks so proud. That little boy knows that he has accomplished so much in the past few months.
I can't tell you how happy I am.
Story time is wonderful. It helps kids blossom and flourish.
