Wet that is! I’m back here in Phnom Penh, Cambodia and the weather is not exactly horrible but it has been raining almost every afternoon till evenings for the past four days already. You know, I like this kind of weather, I am almost instantaneously lazy, and always curled up with a book, or watching a movie with steady streams of cookies and hot choco. Hmm, not a good idea for someone trying to lose weight..
How I wish it’ll be Oct-Nov-Dec already. During these months, its cool and dry here, just perfect to do a regular walkabout here in Phnom Penh. Or perhaps I should be somewhere else? Maybe Outer Banks homes has a lot better weather this time? Or perhaps not, shopping and food here in Phnom Penh is just awesome for me..
More later..

She’s pretty, very pretty. Talented and she’s got a really sexy bod! No wonder, Korean pop star and style icon Lee Hyori was picked to be Fila Sports endorser.
I think she has a very healthy looking body (lol! not anoexic looking as opposed to other celebs), a beautiful face, and of course, that she enjoys hiking and mountain climbing makes her just about perfect for Fila Sports, an outdoor brand.
Here’s some of the photos from FilaSports featuring the lovely Lee Hyori in of course, an outdoor setting. I love the stills, it makes one think of adventures, outdoor fireplaces, of being with nature and just being active. Mind you, I’m green with envy though coz only in my dreams would I be as fresh looking and pretty as that after climbing and hiking around lol!

Korean bands/groups are sprouting out just about everytime, and I’m beginning to think of them as mushrooms lol! Anyway, its getting harder and harder to keep track of them, plus the fact that they are beginning to look all alike so it does help if a group has a certain unique appeal to make them more memorable.
Five-member girl group, KARA debuted in 2007 and I think its a pretty impressive feat for a group to have a number one song – ‘Honey’ considering the tough competition they are facing. Since last year too, KARA has been making headway towards venturing in the international market and just recently, they have ventured into the Japanese entertainment market.
Here’s their recently released dance music video of their hit song ‘Mister’ (Japanese Version)..
And here’s the earlier MV of the same song..
I must admit this is the first MV I’ve seen of this group and they are quite memorable. Of course, it helps that the girls are lookers and would look great on apple bottoms, they are also good dancers and decent vocals. I think this girl group will go the distance. Read more on Kara on the wiki page as well as their own website.

I love fashion and I love Yoon Eun Hye! I think fashion and Yoon Eun Hye is starting to become synonymous for me. Obviously, this girl is one avid fashionista and it doesn’t hurt that she just looks really good most of the time. I also like the way her body is built, she’s slim but she’s got curves. No wonder, she’s a favorite among fashion brands and magazine fashion photoshoots.
Here’s her latest fashion shoot for Korean clothing brand, Joinus for their 2010 Fall Collection. I love the earthy tones and subtly elegant look created. One can’t help but be impressed when at least they present fashion that is wearable {read: you can actually wear it yourself!} yet still very pretty and trendy looking.

I guess I had too much of seeing fashion that is simply over the top and would sometimes make you look like you dropped out from an alien planet or you’re out for atv riding when you are actually just aiming to look casual. Anyway, this Joinus collection with Yoon Eun Hye is something immensely likeable and wearable.

I’m no teenager but I can’t just help but stop and stare at these. No, I’m not about to drool over it yet {but 
almost..}, there is something about Kim Hyun Joong that makes a girl think of baby shower invitations, lol! it must be that baby face or perhaps that ‘hard-to-resist’ eyes, but whatever it is, I must say, this guy is just gorgeous. Almost bordering on ‘pretty’ even.
And those fans of Kim Hyun Joong would surely love to get a copy of his recently released (in Japan) photobook, which is entitled ‘Ready, Action! Why would you want to get a copy? Well, it has over 200 pages of Kim Hyun Joong photos taken back in April during a trip to Spain!
Anyway, here’s some preview photos..

A few more days before our vacation ends and I still have a few more things to do. I’ve got a lot of banking errands to do tommorow as well as health insurance quotes to review. I’m looking into some small investment options we could consider. At this point we want to build a stable nest egg that we intend to use when hubby and I are old and also I want to have a ready fund for my daughter when she reaches college level. And we intend to start early on.
A thing that concerns me most is that hubby is working in Phnom Penh Cambodia and there is still not much in terms of retirement benefits as well as health insurance. Knowing this limitation, we’d like to be ready for any eventuality. So though we are both working in Cambodia, my Philippine Social Security membership is still active and I’ll continue making my contributions. At least this way, I would have the security of having a pension when I reach the age of 60 as well as a whole lot of other benefits. It’s not much but its better than none.
Were also exploring other savings and investment options so while we could still work we could set aside funds when the time comes that we are both old and sickly already. I’m also hoping for continous improvement in Cambodia’s retirement and insurance benefits so at least my husband’s life work would have at least some returns.
