Zebra Z5-A Arrow Tip Pen

I always like tinkering with my Hermes/JasJam. The only problem is I always had a hard time using the diminutive stylus. It was like holding a toothpick. I also can't lay it down anywhere because I might misplace it. That will be a bother because it will leave the silo open, doing a soft reset will be a problem, and the unit will feel incomplete.

So I researched a little on what I could use as a stylus. I wanted something like a regular pen, still useful, light, and inexpensive (just in case I misplaced it, it won't be a pain) With the help of people at http://www.airfagev.com/ forums, they suggested a Zebra stylus pen.

I found one at National Bookstore for, are you ready for it? A measly P65.00!! It's a 0.05mm black ink sign pen. On it's tip is what it calls an arrow tip which could be used on a PDA/PDA phone. Now it's easier to fiddle with my phone with this pen.

Big Apple Pizza

A few weeks back, my wife, son, and my wife's friend had a craving for pizza. Since none of us have tried Big Apple, we trotted to President's Ave at BF ParaƱaque where the nearest branch to us is located.

They have a big sign outside their shop that they serve 20" pizzas. So as soon as we got to there we obviously got a 20-incher. Half of it was all-meat and half of it, but of course my fave ny classic style. We oredered a couple of red iced teas' and went to seat ourselves.

The food arrived and it sure was a 20" pizza cos' it was huge! It was cut by eight. So the two flavors were divided by four.

I took the first slice and it was kind of hard to hold with one hand. One, because it was huge, and two because it had a really thin crust/base. The taste was quite good. Didin't quite like it because I think they rolled the base to be thin to get the 20" but I felt it fell short of what I expected. I sort of thought it would be like Yellow Cab or even Brooklyn Pizza.
Overall, I thought it was quite good. I'd go back if I was craving for a piece, but I won't order a whole pizza anymore. It'll be just a good snack.
