Helping Yolanda Haiyan victims

What are the things we can do to help the victims of Typhoon Yolanda / Haiyan? a)  VOLUNTEER - yes, there is a need of volunteers to help repack the donated goods.  Volunteer here in Manila, or better yet - if you have the means go to Tacloban to see what you can do to help. b)  DONATE- in cash or in kind.  Whatever it is, its a donation.  It will be highly appreciated. c)  PRAY - yes, Praying helps.  Say a prayer or two everyday for the victims. d)  Share RESPONSIBLY on Social Media - information is power and social media is one of the fastest means that is available.  But please share only verified information, in times like these - we need to be socially responsible what we share to the world wide web.  Adding insult to injury doesn't help.  What we can do?  Filter what we share.  Comment only when necessary.  I have been very quiet on social media because I don't want to sound like a know it all or preachy.  Let's do what we can to HELP even if it means, just bi

Starbucks Christmas 2013 Drinks

UPDATE:  I'm giving away a Starbucks 2014 Planner in Yellow!! The red cups are back! :) This year's theme is Create Wonder, Share Joy!  And Starbucks is doing just that!  And I'm excited to share with you the three holiday drinks this year! Toffee Nut Latte This seems to be most everyone's favorite.  And I'm so glad its back (well, it always is back!) because I look forward to this drink every Christmas! Peppermint Mocha This drink will definitely be always representative of Christmas because of candy canes!  What different this year?  Instead of peppermint sprinkles, this year Starbucks is using crushed candy canes as the topping!  Believe me, it makes ALL the difference. Gingerbread Latte This is the new addition to complete the trio of Holiday drinks.  I must admit - when I tasted the hot treat, it was LOVE at first sip!  I"m sorry, but I have a new favorite this year.  It tastes so wonderfully Christmas!  I know its odd, but the taste
