Yolanda: Let's help

With the impact that Yolanda has made on the Philippines these past few days, clearly documented on newspapers and media channels, I cannot help but look at the photos and footage with a crease on my forehead - worried and sad on the lives affected because of it.

How can your heart not go out to those people who lost their shelters and their loved ones? I am honestly not the most emphatic person on this planet, but a surge of compassion goes out to those who are left hungry, devastated and bereft.


It's a bittersweet moment -- that more and more people and institutions are reaching out and helping the Yolanda victims. Here are some institutions who did just that, just click on the photos to direct you their website with the details on how you can help:

Japan: Lit Gardens & Shrines in Kyoto + Japan Travel Tips

On our 3rd day, we went to Kyoto! We bought a one-day Keihan railway pass since Kyoto is about an hour away from Osaka. There are different ways to get to Kyoto but the cheapest and fastest is by train. Taxis are very expensive in Japan! Buses and trains are just about the same price so you can plot your way to this famous spot either way. Fushimi Inari Shrine

A Day with a Make Up Artist

You may see me as a kikay girl, but I am practically clueless as far as make up is concerned. I have always been fascinated with people who can do eye make up. How I wish I could do those smokey eyes without looking like raccoon and without finishing off all the dark-colored eye shadows. So lo and behold, a few weeks ago, I was able to watch how make up artists spring into action as they take out their palettes to create a masterpiece with the face as their canvas. And I kid you not, they seriously have palettes--like painter-kind of palettes :)
