The Rise of Pink Power – Gulabi Gang
(Source: http://www.gulabigang.in)
Every now and then, we get to read or watch some news about abusing women, discriminated in the society, and in some countries, powerless. Not even worthy of respect, of voice to be heard, when in this day and time where women are treated equal to men in other parts of the world, they were treated with vague injustice.
Have you heard about the woman being stoned to death in Somalia because she was raped? Or child brides in Yemen? Daughters for sale? All these are horribly heartbreaking. I do not know why in the world they treat woman in their country like that, no one has a right to do such things whether to men or women.
For years, India is the same by shaming their women and treating them like dirt. Rape was imminent, that because it happens everywhere,they lived it like the norms of the society. Every women was afraid to speak up, afraid that they would not be heard, or nobody would even listen. When the rape of a medical student came out, the surge of the sexual abuse complaints started coming out from everywhere. Even tourists being harassed, scary. Suddenly, claims of horrific situations grabbing the attention of the world.
In Northern India, a group of female group dressed in pink saris called Gulabi Gang are determined to save women from their abusive husbands and society’s injustice. Here’s their amazing story:

Facebook Page Creation Isn’t Too Late
This latest fashion trends blog was created 2008, during that time MySpace was in the most popular spot of Social Media. Then, there came Facebook, which by that time doesn’t have Page Create feature and so I was redirecting people to my personal FB profile. Honestly, it was not a good idea as spammers targeted my FB profile, I have to restrict my security settings putting it on approval before anyone can post on my wall, tag a photo, or almost anything they want to do with my page.
A year later, I started my travel blog, although I have not put on much efforts on it until after a year, I focused on Social Media for the travel blog and got it all set. By then, Facebook began the Facebook Page and so the travel blog’s page was my focus. I’ve forgotten about my blog’s bread and butter, so now I think I have to regain the Latest Fashion Trends blog glory and I’d start with the Facebook Page of the blog, so I hope you guys would LIKE us on Facebook. It’s just there to your right. Thank you!

Desperate Victims of Haiyan in The Philippines Calls for Help!
Super Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda Killed Thousands
It has not been worry free days for me since I heard that there will be a Super Typhoon to hit my country, The Philippines. It was reported as the strongest typhoon ever recorded in the history having over 198 km/h. Communicating to my loved ones on the situation I am relieved knowing they are safe.
Everyday since the reported typhoon to hit the country, I keep my eye on the latest Philippine news channel updates. Not just the strongest but also the biggest typhoon to have covered almost the entire country, the video feeds of local news channels scared me for people who lives in the most affected areas. Tacloban City was the mostly reported place during the typhoon, it was in Central Philippines and since most reporters were positioned in that province, the feeds were mostly from that city and the nearby areas such as Palo, Leyte.
(11 people were pulled out from the storm surge)
Filipino Typhoon Victims Need OUR HELP
Here’s a YouTube video of the event while it was happening, although it is in Tagalog language, he was reporting that even people in the evacuation area died when the water from the coasts rose up until 10m high, they called it ‘Storm Surge’ that drowned people in the evacuation center. This is just one area of the country. Imagine how many people died and damages all over the nation.
Now, the typhoon is gone along with all the debris, electric post lines, trees, vehicles, and corpses scattered everywhere, rescuers and relief distributors are having hard time to get the goods to the victims because of the road accessibility. Let’s not forget that electricity, internet, phone lines are out as it was all damaged by this tragic calamity.
As of now, they are expecting to have almost 10,000 casualties all over the country. I could not fathom how they are taking all this in, ruined city, no house, no food, missing family members, dead family members, and injuries all at once. I would like to at least help by donating and sharing ways to help to other people’s kind hearts to help Philippines who are just recovering from an earthquake last month.
WE ACCEPT DONATIONS AND NEEDS MORE VOLUNTEER, PLEASE!
Please refer to the above photo for your donations and contacts for volunteers. Also, Red Cross accepts donations through PAYPAL (in Philippine Peso currency default) at: http://www.redcross.org.ph/donate.
May everyone of us find a soft spot for our Filipino brothers and sisters who needs our help desperately, donations, a hand, and prayers will help them a lot. Let’s try our least to reach out.

How to Choose Your Training Shoes
Are you a gym buff? Do you love to work out on your own? Jog around the nearest park? However you want to work out and put your self in your best shape and weight loss you know you always have to have the right trainers shoes. Why?

Price. In my personal choice, I look at the tag price before even considering it and then if it fits my budget, that’s when I’d start trying it on. When working out, you know you have look at the budget too because of the diet change and food supplements. Just a thought.
Style. Don’t compromise your style, when you find an affordable trainers shoes, do not hesitate to ask if there’s other color you prefer that is available or maybe similar price range with a different style that fits yours. Color and fit should always fit your personality (even if its a little different than yours, choose the closest to your fashion taste).
Consider comfort. Always try fit the shoes you wanted to buy first if it fits well. You may want to put a little allowance for your socks and a little space for your feet to breathe. Move around, walk, run a bit to feel how comfortable it is while you do these. Remember, you will be moving extensively when you’re training. You don’t want to ruin your work out just because you didn’t get the right fitting shoes for you.
TIP: If you wish to have your shoes that fits your style and budget, wait for the sale season or try out to check flea markets, or even online stores. The best buys are always not too hard to buy, just a little more patience will get you your awesome pair of trainers shoes!
