The blonde I want - Kim Kardashian's new hair color

Last week I changed my hair color trice. I should have stopped that first time but when I saw Kim Kardashian's fabulous new hair I decided to lighten my hair and worse I decided to try a new colorist. It was a mistake because the colorist wanted her way or the highway and adamantly highlighted my hair beyond what I anticipated. I went back the next day to have it corrected but unfortunately this fine hair of mine did not appreciate the overzealous highlights and protested every time I looked at the mirror.

It looks like I will have to visit Kim's colorist to calm my upset hair!

Look for future post for updates.

In memory of Michael Jackson

"In my darkest hour,

In my deepest despair,

will you still care........

Will you be there

in my trails and my tribulations,

through all doubts

and frustrations,

in my violence,

in my turbulence,

through my fear

and my confessions,

in my anguish and my pain,

in my joy and my sorrow,

In the promise of another tomorrow........

I will never let you part for you are always..... in my heart"

"I am just a dreamer......dreaming the dream"
At the crack of dawn on June 25, 2009, I woke up to a heartbreaking news on CNN. One imagines that some people are ageless and deathless but sadly that is not the case, of course. Sitting in a daze, my mind preoccupied with a thousand thoughts, tears filled my eyes. I had just lost an uncle recently to cancer. He, like Michael, was only 50 and left this world all too soon.

Michael's music was a big influence in my life while growing up. He was one of my teenage idols and I would dream of one day meeting him. Those teenage yearnings did come to pass when I met the King of Pop in person in 2007.

I remembered vividly his soft voice and his gentle hand shake. Surprisingly he was extremely shy, perhaps hard to understand and therefore easily misunderstood. The public persona that one sees is not the person one meets. Ultimately, he was all too human albeit an extraordinarily talented one. Above all, he was a person who believed very much in his charitable works, especially for the children of the world.

Now as I listen to his music I see a story of his life slowly unfolding before me in the lyrics. Michael will never cease to sing to my heart.

“Because we know the Who, we can endure the What, though we don’t understand the Why”.

A Garden By Night

Garden at The Four seasons hotel - Chinzan-so, Tokyo

Home away from home

The Four Seasons Hotel Chinzan-so in Tokyo is a refuge in the busy city. This hotel is a seamless blend of classic European style with Japanese influences and modern technology. What distinguishes the hotel is the 7 hectar Japanese garden within which sits a 1000 years old Pagoda as its centerpiece brought in from Hiroshima. Walking the gardens transports one to a heavenly realm of tranquility and peace. In the evening it is lit ever so beautifully.
The service is impeccable, warm and attentive to the smallest details. A wonderful surprise awaits you when you enter the large, spacious rooms and bathrooms filled with all the amenities that one might expect at a Four Seasons hotel.
Take a moment to pamper yourself at the Yu spa where the hot spring waters are specially brought in weekly from the town of Ito which is renowned for its onsen.
For culinary delights the Japanese at Miyuki and the Italian at Il Theatro are to be savored. I spent a lovely evening at the lounge indulging in chocolate fondue while sipping margarita and enjoying the musical respite.
My stay was indeed an experience not easily forgotten.
