Japan's Earthquake and Tsunami Disaster; let's contribute!

Dear all,  I'm sure everyone of you have heard of the devastation that hit Japan during the earthquake last Friday.  It is indeed heart wrenching to see them going through the pain of losing everything, be it homes and for some, their loved ones in a split of a second.  Those moments are definitely feeling like eternity for them.

It is cold right now in Japan.  I have been following rather closely on the news about Japan here.  To see the devastation of Japan in these aftermath pictures, my heart goes to them.  There are about 400,000 people who have lost their homes and are suffering from the shock of the impact, and I am sure, at loss at what to do.

A lot of us cannot do a whole lot, but we can pray that God will continue to be their Prince of Peace and Comforter during this time of trials and tribulations for the country.  I urge you to continue to pray alongside with me for Japan.

Aside from that, let's contribute, even if it's a little bit, to help them.  Groupsmore has set up a contribution to the Red Cross' Emergency Disaster Relief in Japan and other affected areas.  All they need from you is just RM3.  They have also promised to match our contribution dollar for dollar.  That means doubling the amount which we have contributed.  It's small effort, but if we join hands and contribute, I believe every small effort of ours will make a difference in one person's life.

Do take the effort to donate your RM3 for our neighbours.

Charcoal Black Heal Pharm Cleaner Pack

I bought this quite a while back, not long after I finished my previous one.  I've not seen it previously and I thought, at the price of RM9.80 per box, it is decent enough.  There are two types, but I only bought this charcoal black to try.

I used to use Biore's one (who doesn't??) and I have to say that this is much better than Biore's!  Some of the differences:

1. Thickness.  This Heal Pharm is much thicker.  It's kinda like 2 layers of Biore in one.  One side is black (Charcoal) and the other side is white.  Got quite a nice "feel" to its thickness, if you know what I mean.


2. Adhesive.  This definitely works much better than Biore!  I know it sounds gross, but I betcha we will darn satisfied when we see the strip being filled every nook and corner!  Haha... okay, grossness aside, this really works.  I definitely feel a lot cleaner around my nose once I've peeled it off.  Ah, the satisfaction...
(I know it's gross, but picture paints a thousand words right? =p)

3.  Messiness.  With Biore, the area around my nose turns black.  I always have to resort to rubbing it to ensure that all the adhesive and the black colour does not stay on my nose.  Do you have that?  But with this, it's rather clean.  Albeit there's still a little bit of adhesive or black that stays on the nose sometimes, it's definitely clean!

I do love this, but I don't use it very often, probably about once every 1 and half to 2 weeks.  It's because it does its job well, and I usually feel my pore's a little clogged around that time as well.

Guess what? I've already did a stock up! =p There was a promotion ongoing whereby 2 boxes are going for RM17.  I bought the white one to try instead.  I think this is quite a hit item because I went to visit a couple of Watsons around my area and both have totally sold off their charcoal series.  Amazing.
