Pray For Korea

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea says it has scrambled F-16 fighter jets and returned fire after North Korea shot dozens of rounds of artillery onto a populated South Korean island near the countries' western border.

South Korea's YTN television says two people were injured, several houses were on fire and that shells were still falling on Yeonpyeong island. Yonhap news agency, quoting a military official, says four soldiers are wounded. The reports couldn't be immediately verified.

YTN says that between 1,200 and 1,300 people live in the island, citing an island resident. TV pictures showed black and white smoke rising from the island.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea shot dozens of rounds of artillery onto a populated South Korean island near the countries' disputed western border Tuesday, and South Korean troops returned fire, military officials said.

South Korea's YTN television said two people were injured, several houses were on fire and that shells were still falling on Yeonpyeong island. Yonhap news agency, quoting a military official, said four soldiers were wounded. The reports couldn't be immediately verified.

YTN said between 1,200 and 1,300 people live in the island, citing an island resident. TV pictures showed black and white smoke rising from the island.

A South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff official said dozens of rounds of artillery landed on the island and in the sea. The official says South Korea fired back. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of JCS rules, said South Korea's military is on alert. He had no other details.

The firing comes amid tension over North Korea's claim that it has a new uranium enrichment facility and just over a month after North Korean leader Kim Jong Il unveiled his youngest son Kim Jong Un as his heir apparent.

Tensions between the two Koreas also remain tense after the sinking in March of a South Korean warship in which 46 sailors died. Seoul has blamed a North Korean torpedo, while Pyongyang has denied any responsibility.

The countries' western maritime boundary has long been a flash point between the two Koreas. The North does not recognize the border that was unilaterally drawn by the United Nations at the close of the 1950-53 Korean War.

North and South Korea have fought three bloody skirmishes near the maritime border in recent years, most recently in November 2009.

This is very unfortunate and I am very worried of my family in Korea.
War can possibly break out, but who knows what will happen.
Please pray for both North and South Korea!

Perfume

I received a monthly catalog in the mail from ULTA the other day and inside were few perfume samples.


Gucci Guilty



Description: Gucci Guilty is about breaking social conventions and the feeling that you can attain whatever you want. It is about pushing your personal boundaries and experiencing the thrill of the forbidden. A daring, oriental floral, Gucci Guilty embodies the richness of amber and the fresh femininity of lilac. The fragrance speaks to the bold, trendy, but always authentic Gucci woman.

Suggested Retail Price: Eau de Toilette Spray, 1.0 fl. oz - $55.00
Eau de Toilette Spray, 1.6 fl oz. - $75.00


MY 2 CENTS: I really like the classy packaging and of course, it has the Gucci symbol. To me, this scent is more for the mature woman/lady and it has that very sexy scent to it.



pureDKNY



Description: A drop of vanilla sourced from Africa, a drop of good will. pureDKNY supports local communities by taking small steps to help make a difference, pure and simple. A soft floral scent with a signature vanilla accord.

Suggested Retail Price: Scent spray 3.4 oz. - $80.00
Scent spray 1.7 oz. - $60.00
Scent spray 1.0 oz. - $42.00
Body butter 6.7 oz. - $38.00


MY 2 CENTS: This scent is very soft, clean, and simple. It's nice to feel simple once in a while :] The packaging itself is simple and pure, too.



Michael Kors Very Hollywood



Description: The new eau de toilette is a fun, sparkly, fruity version of the eau de parfum. With the spotlight on black currant, neroli and mandarin. Alway sready for the flash of the paparazzii. She's fresh, she's fabulous...She's very hollywood.

Suggested Retail Price: Sparkling Eau de Toilette Spray 1.0 oz. - $40.00
Eau de Parfum Spray 1.0 oz. - $45.00

MY 2 CENTS: Like what it says, it's a fruity floral scent that feels playful. I think it'll be great for the daytime and best in the spring. It doesn't feel like a night scent at all. I really like the packaging though, it's blinged out..and PINK! It also has the Hollywood star around the neck of the perfume. I think it's cute, but everyone has his/her own opinion.


THESE ARE JUST MY OPINIONS and I'm just giving my two scents based on what I'm smelling from the sample pack. I really want all of them!!! But, because of my current state of unemployment, I have to stick with Victoria's Secret body sprays.

The prices may be different around stores, but don't take my word for it.


What are your thoughts?
