Pond’s Big Beauty Sale!

Posted by roanne in Events, Pond's on August 6, 2009

As we lay one great woman to rest (hopefully, if it wasn’t for this stooge who tried pulling a travesty out of a solemn service), let’s celebrate by sharing to you the latest beauty buzz I got from Pond’s. I know, I know, it’s totally absurd to celebrate democracy by means of shopping, but this is one spectacular news shopaholic women like moi have been utterly waiting for!

Pond's Big Beauty Sale

Pond’s is slashing up to 70% off its price from August 15-September 15! That’s one month of getting your favorite skincare product in bargain prices!

At Michael Jackson’s Memorial: I was moved by Paris

Posted by roanne in Events, Michael Jackson on July 8, 2009

Yes, I was one of the few millions watching Michael Jackson’s Memorial Service at the Staples Center in Los Angeles live via CNN.com. Well, few would be quite an understatement, as tributes were also conducted on other parts of the globe in commemoration of his life and legacy.

With all the moving speeches by Brooke Shields, Motown founder Berry Gordy and Pastor Lucious Smith and fervid performances by Jermaine Jackson and Usher amongst others, MJ’s daughter Paris Jackson truly melted everyone’s heart, including mine. It left me weeping to tears. :cry:

To quote, she said:

“Ever since I was born, daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine. And I just want to say that I love him so much,”

Here’s the heartfelt video of Paris Jackson’s speech that made all of us cry and feel her grief.

 

If you missed the whole event, you can still watch it via CNN Live.

Happy 4th of July America!

*Listen to the Star-Spangled Banner by Whitney Houston & The Florida Orchestra*

I may not be currently living in the US, but most of my folks reside there. I only wish that the star-spangled banner will continue to shine through amidst today’s adversity.

Happy 4th of July America! :)
