Cracked Heels

It's my 3rd semester break, and guess what...I learn a shocking news----->I get cracked heels. :(

So, the first thing that I bought when my family and I went out to Tesco is a Scholl Brand-Cracked Heel repair cream. I've to admit it's a great product. 

Well, at least it pay off the money I'd spent...Errr, my Abah paid for it actually. 

I'd applied it for few days now, and the effect quite instantly. The hideous crack on my heels slowly disappear. (Yes, I'm boosting right now ^_^ ). I decided to share some information that I found on the internet so that you will appreciate your heel more coz believe me, girls with cracked heels look ugly in high heel. Those wise word, my friends, is based on experience and personal opinion. 

Let's pour some times to read some boring but important stuff about cracked heels.

Usually, when you have cracked heels, people often said "Oh, goshhh...u get cracked heels bcoz u didn't apply moisturizer every night b4 sleep" or "oh,dear...its because u stand all day long n your feet can't stand the pressure". BUT, guys, actually cracked heel is the sign to lack of attention to foot care. Although maybe your friends score some point there. Anyways, cracked heel also known as heel fissures. Fissures are regular linear cut wounds and mostly affect the surface level which comprises of the epidermis. Sometimes it may get deep into the dermis and became painful. (At this point I became completely freak out).  Excessive pressure on the feet pads make the feet want to expand sideways (I'm imagining a Donald Duck's feet at this line, hehehe) and as the skin surrounding the sides of the feet are dry they crack and thus......causing cracked heels. 

-Tadaaaa, a simple and short information specially for you all-

Okay let's continue. 

Cracked heels usually are not harmful except when the cuts became too deep and causing bleeding that leads to infections. There are few signs and symptoms that our feet show when they are trying to call for our attention and cares. The symptoms are :

• Red or Flaky Patches

This is one of the first symptoms of dry cracked heels and if it is ignored, the condition may worsen in         time. Dry skin is also vulnerable to dry skin infection and so it is important to treat the condition right away. (Which is the first thing that I do).

• Peeling and Cracked Skin

This is the second symptom that generally follows the first symptom. Peeling and cracked skin is a definite sign of dry cracked heels and immediate measures must be taken to remedy the condition.

• Itchy Skin

Itchy skin is caused by the abnormal shrinking of the upper layers of dry skin. This excessive shrinking causes the stretching of the skin below and around the affected areas and thus resulting to general discomfort and itchiness.

• Bleeding and Discharge from Cracks

Bleeding or discharge from cracks in your heels is a very serious problem as it indicates that the craks not only affect the upper layers of the skin but also the lower layers of tissue. Deep cracks in the heels will also increase the risk of skin infection.


There goes all the general information that we need. Sorry if it gets bored but still thanks for reading to the last words. ^_^
And just to be clear, I only have the first symptom. (Thank God...).
Therefore, I promised myself to buy a Bunny Slippers to wear inside my room and apply moisturizer all the times.
Dear feet, I swear I won't neglect you anymore.

This is the Scholl-Cracked Heel repair cream

This is something made out of clay that  my Abah bought
because  the salesman said it helps to remove dead skin.
Just rub it to the heels n see the magic kick in.

Stephenie Meyer

Does anyone ever heard of Stephenie Meyer?

Well, to those that does not recognize her, it'll be my pleasure to introduce her to u all. 

Though i'm not her friends or relative, i'm a huge fan of her.

Stephenie Meyer is the author of Twilight Saga. Yep, u got it right, finally u can grasp who she is. Although I LOVE the novel so much that my heart aches to get inside the novel, I actually quite despise or in a more delicate words, I strongly dislike the Twilight Saga's Movie. Infact, I believe the movie version had tainted the pure novel version written by Stephenie Meyer. You can said what u want, but I really don't think Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are qualified enough to be Edward Cullen and Bella Swan. They totally didn't fit the Edward and Bella in the novel. However, Taylor Lautner is a special case. He bring out the image of Jacob Black straight from the novel and I like him. ^_^ 

Here is some images of Twilight Saga novels.

Twilight is the first novel.

In Twilight, Bella recently moved to Fork to live with her dad and she stumble around meeting Edward and his family at her new school. They both immediately attracted to each other, But in Edward case, he actually attracted to Bella's blood at first. After some time, Bella know his secret and they become lovers.

New Moon is the second novel

New Moon continue the story from Twilight. In this book, Bella celebrate her birthday with Edward family , which consist of 7 'vegetarian' vampires. An accident occurs and Bella got hurt, Edward got so devastated that he decides to leave Bella for her own good. Bella became so depressed and this is when Jacob Black came into the spotlight. He befriend Bella and help her survive the lost. But somehow something happen in the end of the novel, Bella n Edward reunite leaving Jacob with a huge hole in his heart.

Eclipse is the third novel

In this third sequel of Twilight Saga, Edward and Bella decided to get married because Bella keeps bugging Edward to transform her into a vampire. In Eclipse, Bella life is in danger because a bad vampire, name Victoria want to rip her throat out for revenge. Jacob's pack (warewolves) and Edward's clan 

(vampires) working together to withstand the attack from Victoria and her army of newborn vampire.

Breaking Dawn is the last novel in Twilight Saga

In Breaking Dawn, Edward and Bella finally got married. They went for a honeymoon at a private island but something unthinkable happen. Bella got pregnant and her life is at a risk. Bella died giving birth to a beautiful girl and Jacob imprint with the baby.Finally Jacob able to love someone other than Bella. Edward manage to revive Bella back as a Vampire. 

Those are some short description for each novel. You\ have to read the whole books to get the full story that revolves around Edward, Bella, and Jacob. The price for all 4 books is only around RM200. 

Just in case u're wondering, I do not receives any payment for promoting the books.

Another master piece from Stephenie Meyer is The Host. I love this novel more than Twilght Saga. It is a story about Melanie Stryder. Earth had been invaded by 'soul'. Soul is all good things : compassionate, patient, honest, virtuous and full of love. They implant into human brain and control the body. They continue their life just as human does but they stop the pollution, wars, and cure disease. A few human that still human, live hiding in undeveloped area. this include Melanie, her brother, and her boyfriend. Unfortunately, Melanie was captured and she was inserted with a soul named Wonderer (shorten into Wanda) but things get interesting because Melanie refuse to leave her mind. She persist to stay in her mind alongside with Wanda. Soon, Wanda and Melanie start a journey to find their lost brother and boyfriend. They succeed but Wanda was having a rough time in the wild human population. She is so helpless yet so kind, even to those that try to inflict pain to her. I think this novel is suitable to people that dislike cheesy novel.(Tilight SAga is a cheesy story). The Host is an adult Sci-Fiction novel but not too geek. The usage of language is easy to understand. The flow of story and the events is so brilliant and yet filled with emotional. I totally enjoyed the story and I believe u would too.

This book is going to be adapt into a movie. The release date for The Host movie is on March 29, 2013.

A Day~

A day after our stressful   examination, my friends n I decided to go out for a walk at Bukit Ekspo, UPM. It was so much fun as we walked around the lake n laughed our head off at some silly jokes. Although the semester break already started, there were still a lot of people jogging, biking, walking and sitting around enjoying the freedom after final exam. That place was filled with love n joy, u can't help from smiling like a fool d whole time....haha, a bit melodramatic n cheesy.

adiba, mar, atika, aishah

atika , adiba, aishah, iba
(^_^)

This is my feveret photo of d day...hahahaha

The next day, we were starving. So, we went to SS for lunch and buy some groceries. We walked because there were too many of us for carpooling. So, walk it is !!.... The day was scorching hot so we decided to ride a bus. We already crossed the bridge and stop by at the CIMB Bank when we saw the bus. We make a quick decision and run back across the bridge to catch the bus while Ziela and Adiba yelled at the driver to wait for us. It was a total chaos and yet so hilarious. Everyone was looking at us acting like a bunch of freak yelling and running trying to get the driver attention. Sadly, the driver didn’t hear us L.

 Thus…. The seven dwarf continue their journey via walking….

Finally,the seven dwarf were rewarded with a yummy KFC chicken...sluuuurpppp.....

That night, we cooked Nasi Goreng Kampung ( Village's Fried Rice ??) with some Ikan Bilis, Telur, Sosej and Cili Api... 

credit to our master chef- Atika Salim n Ziela Lala- for the HOT nasi goreng. 

I really meant it, the nasi goreng was totally hot a.k.a PEDAS GILER....

14/15

14^th JANUARY 2012

It was the last day for my Final Exam (Fyi, I’m in my 3^rd semester). To be honest, I didn’t study till I drop dead like some of my friends did. I guess I’m just too lazy and kinda spoiled brat. ..The exam starts at 2 PM and during that exam I don’t even give a damn on what I’m supposed to answer. There were 3 essay questions with 30 MARKS, and guess what, I leave all 3 questions blank. 

Yep, u read it right. I LEAVED 30 MARKS QUESTIONS UNANSWERED.

Huahuahua, kalau la boleh meraung dlm dwn exm tu….. :(

Once I had hand in my answer sheet  to that gorgeous-korean-looking demonstrator (whose name I never able to remember), I straightened my shoulder, tucked out my chin, held my head high and walked out of that examination hall and acted almighty as if I’ve done my best for the paper. Bullshit…

15^th JANUARY 2012

Currently in my room, kemas bilik la. (Trying to kemas sebenarnyer). Right now, my room is in a big lump of mess. It looks like a big hurricane had pass through my room.  Nevertheless, it’s the efforts that count, right. 

So, the plan is I will clear up my room, send all my belonging to Ruang Kristal and then ‘migrate’ to Diba’s room until 20^th January.  I guess I have to leave u alone for now, my sweet room.

let's check the room

I wonder whose room is this ???

Opsss, dlm proses mengemas

The half emptied closest

My properties/junks

The bed

Hmmmm, so guys, I might as well continue packing up all my things. There’s still a lot of work to be done. 

p/s : don't judge my room too harsh,usually it looks a lot tidier n nicer than dis ^_^

lazy-ing around

Perfecto for lazy-ing around

Actually, it is my study week and yet I feel so malas to touch the books. Instead I fishes under the table and pulled out a novel. An English novel, mind you. Hehehe..so, here I am, reading the book on my bed while listening to my new playlist songs. Haaha, this is the best part. I can’t believe I actually crying reading the teenage vampire novel. Wuwuwuw L…I guess I just have lots of romantic hormone in me. So, guys, whoever want to have a great sweet romantic darling, now you all know where to find her…

Just bluffing ^_^

FYI, I love READing novels...Whenever I managed to lay my hand on a book, I usually read it from the first page up to the last page. Sehingga muka surat terakhir ghitooo. I just finished reading 3 novels in 3 days, nothing to brag about *_*. I think it’s actually a bit worrying, it’s like I’m addicts to novels instead of weed or drugs. (ThankGod I’m not into these things). But heyyyy, come on guys, I’m supposed to study for my FINAL EXAM kan !!!

Well, whatever…~

It’s not like I can undone what I’ve done so there’s no point for me to babbling my throat out. 

Transgender children

GENDER AS AN OPTION

 Intersexual child are children that are born with intersex condition. The children have genitalia which is not completely male or female. Their physical sex is undetermined. Once, this condition was originally referred as hermaphrodites or pseudo hermaphrodites. Nowadays, it is known as intersexual condition. When an intersexual child is born, doctors will decide which gender the baby should have. Doctors will surgically modify the child’s sex organ to resemble the chosen sex. Usually, doctors tend to decide the gender based on the child sex organ that can be observed or based on its internal reproductive organs, but I feel that this treatment and surgery is unfair to the child due to several reasons.

The first reason is because the surgery usually done based on the doctors convenience. Usually intersex child are assigned to be female. One surgeon when asked why intersex child are usually assigned female, explained, “It’s easier to dig a hole than to build a pole” (Laurent, 2007). For instance, there was a case in 1960, a child called Patrick wrongly decided of its gender where the doctors cut off his male reproductive organs to makes him a girl. The mother refuses to believe the doctors because she had seen Patrick have had several erections. According to article “Sex Police” written by Berdache Jordan in paragraph 9, in that day, it was considered as child abuse if the parent refuses to allow their child to undergo genital remodelling. However, this matter is much more complicated than that. This is because intersex child are affected by both male and female hormones before birth. Therefore, it is impossible to tell which sex the child would prefer to have once they grow up.

The second reason is because surgery may affect the child’s physical conditions. The surgery may cause negative side effects to their sex organ morphology. Besides, operating on infant-size genitalia is a hard task even for experienced doctors. The clitoris removal or clitoris reduction procedures often leave the individual with significant diminished or no sexual sensation later in life. Jordan (1998, p.1) states that given the fact that genital surgery is not medically necessary, that it is irreversible and potentially harmful, that there is growing controversy among medical intersex specialist, and that the child can always choose surgery if they wish when they are old enough to give informed consent, to imposed surgery now would violate the first principle of medicine: (“First, do no harm”). Other than that, the scar tissue will build up and causing an ugly appearance. Scars can sometimes cause extreme pain to them. The surgery is a permanent process. The tissue removed from the clitoris can never be restored. So, these child will be suffered a severe physical damages because of a decision that had been decided while they was yet a tiny infant to decide for themselves.

The third reason is because of extreme emotional affects to the intersexual child. In many cases, intersex child may experience emotional disruption. “Parents most often will not reveal their ordeal to anyone, including the child as s/he comes of age. The child is left physically damages, and in an emotional limbo without excess to information about what has happened to them” (Laurent, 2007). The intersex child may have undergo surgery to remove her small penis while she is still an infant, but later on when she grow up or reach puberty, her psychological emotion might be a man. She’ll end up lived as a male trapped inside a female body. In many cases, they become mentally and emotionally torture throughout their adult life. Laurent (2007, p.2) states that as a growing number of adult intersexual have come forth to speak about their experiences, it is apparent that surgery has generally been more harmful than helpful.

To summarize, intersex child should be given chance and freedom to decide which gender they are more preferably to have. They should be allowed to decide once they are mature enough to understand their own nature and sexual emotion. I believe intersexual child should be given some options to choose their own gender.

Philios n her rambling

Fuhhhh…..only now did I realize, it’s actually quite hard to write an entry. I’ve spend the past half an hour typing and retyping, again and again. Since I’m still a newbie, so I won’t write much for my first entry but I plan on posting something about ‘transsexual children’ for my upcoming entry. This topic is quite hot and interesting (I think +_+ ). 

Anyways, basically I just want to rambling coz I don’t have stories to share, yet. So, sorry guy n plez bears with me for a while. ^_^
