I never realized how stigmatized women in some countries are if they have dark skin or have only daughters. This article…Continue
This is what my assignment was this Saturday- go to the opening of Annenberg Community Beach House in Santa Monica and take pics for Notcot.com since Jean wasn't able to make it.

Here are his notes:
November 9th 2007 - November 13th 2008
one year on foot - 4646km (2887 miles) through China
Additional info:
- I never finished my original goal of walking to Germany. Instead, I walked for a year and roughly… Continue

I've always thought Ciara is sexy. But when Missy Elliot said it, it was awkward. It's better when Justin Timberlake says it. And boy did he say it in their collabo "Love Sex Magic."
As Rihanna sits on the sideline, waiting for the bruises on her face (and her heart) to heal (steak with a Laker always helps). Ciara boldly stepped up to fill the void left by her absentee…

Yuta Onoda is a very talented illustrator and artist originally from Japan who's currently working on his Bachelor of Applied Arts at the Sheridan College in Canada. I love the fact that you can see the Asian influence in his work but with his use of interesting color combinations, it comes off as fresh and modern. He'll be… Continue

I liked the food at Street, but the service was really slow and not worth mentioning; however, I didn't really mind because it had only opened a few days prior to my visit and from what I've seen, every new eatery has a ramp-up period.
There's a $35 tasting menu but I didn't get it since it was Indian-themed that evening and I had had Indian food for lunch. My group enjoyed the outdoor…
