....is menstrual pain.

Yes, period pain, you jughead.

Men will never know how menstrual cramps feel like. Having terrible stomach cramps, backaches and leg cramps all in a go is something men with dicks will never understand.

It's not just like you get a papercut and you go "Oh no, i got a booboo. It's a okay. A plaster will do."

..or like "Ahh crap, I fell off the bike mom, and skinned my knee a little. Ah no biggie, I'mma just wash the germs and bacteria with Dettol".


No. It's not like that.

You can't put a plaster on our stomachs to relieve the menstrual pain. Nor can you plaster our vagina to stop the blood from flowing out.

Neither can you ask us to just wash our pubic part with Dettol and oh what? Hope that blood will stop flowing out then?

I pray to you, Lord, to bless those lost souls who actually thought what I just said would actually work. Amen.

Okay.

Let's get to know a little more about menstrual. PERIOD. BLOOOOOD.


Sanitary napkins, which are often called as pads. There are a few brands of these pads.



 



Laurier. I like Laurier.

The extra comfort slim ones are really good. Cos they're really flat, like they said, extra slim. So when you wear it, you don't actually feel a 5 tonne napkin like Pampers.

Not my all-time favourite but it's really good for night use.

Oh there's a night use and a day use?

Yes, jugheads. Guys should really take the initiative to learn more about girls.

The night use pad is often longer, and wider, and it has sticky wings at the corner to make sure the pad holds on to its place well. Because of the fact that we sleep for rather a long period of time, the longer and wider pads help to avoid leakage or blood stains.







Intimate.

Well I thought I recalled Mom discontinued buying this brand. She must have gotten it free with a package then.

As you can see, not all pads are boring-looking and disgusting. They have nice packagings too okay. Some even nicer than your Transformer toys packaging.







Sofy.

Now that's what we call a Panty Liner. It's just really short and it's slimmer than a Motorola L6 or L7, whichever makes you happier.

Normally that's worn during the last 2 days of the menstrual period. Or some girls wear them for daily vaginal discharge.


Wow. Now that I took all the napkin pictures, I just realized I have almost all the brands of sanitary pads.

Sofy. Kotex. Laurier. Intimate.

What am I shot of?


I skipped school today, although English test was going on. Yea, I ditched my exam because of menstrual cramps.

I never usually get menstrual cramps. Not serious ones. Especially stomach cramps, I've never gotten those before. I usually get very minor backaches and leg cramps. So normally when I have my period, I could still always laugh, jump, shout, run, act retarded, make jokes and be the joke (gerard always say that i don't make jokes, cos I'm the joke..).

So it was my first time getting such a freaking terrible menstrual pain. This is my first time getting stomach cramps due to period in 5 years of having menstruation.

I never knew it would be this suffering. And this painful. It's worse than gastric. You can barely sleep, sit, eat or drink. You can't find the best position to lay down on your bed. You don't know if you should sit or stand. You ate Panadol which claims to relieve menstrual pain but it just didn't work, not for you.

Imagine that.


Soooo, hell yeah. It was merely impossible for me to go to school and sit for my English test. I would probably start scribbling in my essay.. "Periooooddd paiinnnnn.... bllooooooood... shiiittttt"  or something like that.

If you men would want to know how menstrual pain actually feels like, you can try getting yourself to have gastric. It's something like that, but not 100% it.


I don't get why some guys or men are so ashamed about girls having period. I repeat, SOME, not all guys. Some of them really have this 'ulu' superstition that touching a pad will bring them bad luck for 3 years straight.

Hello? It's just a pad. Clean pad by the way?

Women are humans too you know. It's not that we want to have menstrual periods, but we are just created with it. So we're just living with it. Men should do the same, live with the fact girls have period and it's not any of a big deal.

And who the heck says men are the only human beings dripping blood?

Ex-cuusseee me. We bleed. We women hell bleed. We freaking bleed like shit. Even when giving birth, WE. FREAKING. BLEED.

You know, maybe that's one point to why women are stronger than men. We're not afraid of blood. Women are less lightly to be afraid of injections compared to men. And women are less afraid of pain compared to men.

Simple test. Piercing ears.

A guy would tear by just piercing one hole on his ear lobe.

A girl can pierce like 8 holes, and go.. "Hey, how about a belly ring huh? Or maybe a nipple ring?"

Well I'm not saying all men or all guys. Just SOME. And just SOME egoistic men who still thinks women are just some weak creatures.


You know what makes part of a man a real man?

Understanding women.


Please note that I do not mean to bring up any sensitive issues in this post. If any part of my words had made you felt uncomfortable, I apologize.

But personally, I feel that what is there to be ashame of man. It's the year 2007 hello. Guys and girls, they are all just the same. What shame is there to feel anymore? I even tell my close guy friends that I stained my uniform and asked if they could cover up for me.

Yeah I might get some "Ooooo where where you stain? show me."  but so what? It's just blood.

Staining your skirt with blood it's almost just the same as how guys shit in their pants. ;)





Yours truly,
Cheryl, I swear there are guys who shat in their pants.

I got my hair cut. Again. Just last Saturday 1st September 2007.

Where else would I go other than Kimarie Taipan USJ? I've got a friendly and trustable hairstylist there who knows just what's best. Skillful. Patient. And pretty.

What the hell. I'm always doing free advertisements.

People should start paying me man. I'm a good blogger who advertises very well. If you have money (because I like money), and you have advertisements to advertise (because I have a hell of a blog to do it for you), don't forget to look me up here.

Nuffnang emailed me with an offer of an advertiser wanting to advertise here at my blog, but I have yet to figure out how the hell do I accept the offer.

Any Nuffnangers who happen to know how, please do enlighten me on this. I'm rather new.

Oh this time I got my hair cut a lil' shorter than before. And on the front, one side's longer than the other.

"Ella ella ellaaaaa.. ehhh ehhh ehhhh..."

Rihanna siot.

When I came back, my mom was like...

"Haven't finish cutting ah your hair?"

"Huh?"

"One long one short wan."



Way to go mom. That's why I love her. ;)

My haircuts are getting shorter and shorter. I wonder when I'm going to shave bald. Like Sharifah Amani. Just that I won't look pretty like her lah, maybe uglier a bit. Just a little bit.

Annyyywaaaaaaaay, I like it cos it's cool when everytime I sing Umbrella, I feel that my voice sounds more and more like Rihanna. Maybe better.

Ahhaa okay laugh all you want.





Yours truly,
Cheryl, anybody still wants my signature anyway? No?

Well I'm not bad of a Malaysian huh, pretty patriotic ain't I?

What do you mean no?

Jesus, it's freaking 2 in the morning on our goddamn 50th Independence Day man. And here I am, wishing you ppl and Malaysia a Happy Merdeka Day man.

Sheeshh.


So how'r you people doing there? Good? Anyone spending Independence Day all alone? With nobody in the house, just you alone, you and your goddamn TV, it's pitch black outside, nobody to shout "Merdeka" 7 times with?

Well look on the bright side. You get the TV all for yourself. How bout that aye?

I skipped school today. So did Michelle. And Brenda. And Dao Wei. And I think 3 quarter of the entire students did. So I'm not the bad kid alone.

AT LEAST I skipped school and studied the whole day.

First thing in the morning, Michelle asked me to accompany her to the Maybank to withdraw some cash out from her bank account.

Well it was pretty cool seeing her taking an empty slip, writing in her bank account number, her name, IC.. and all that shit.. filling in the cash value.. like

"Eighty ringgit only"

...signed the slip, flipped it over and wrote her details.. all fluently. It's like, Wow, all that coming from Michelle man.. we're talking bout like Michelle, ya'know what I mean.

We always thought withdrawing money from the bank accounts would require our parents or guardian to come along.

Guess not.

Yeah then we went over to Starbucks and started our studying or revising or whatever-you-want-to-call-it session.

Mocha frapp with choc chips is practically almost similar with Javachip Frapp. Well it's better, cos it's about 2 bucks cheaper.

In conjunction with our Independence Day, we studied History.

Lol some freaks huh.

SPM is like bloody near man. Life now is not one bit fun, it's all about working harder, and harder and even harder. Stressing to the maximum point.

60+ more days to SPM. If only it was just cancelled.. aahhh. What am I thinking,,,, what possibility is there...





Yours truly,
Cheryl, I need major motivation. Someone please tell me that I can do it.

On the 22nd Aug - 23rd Aug '07, Michelle's mom brought us on a small holiday, up to Genting!

Back in those years, Genting used to be reaaaalllly cold, like up the hills and you can really feel the cold winds going up your spines.

Not anymore though. Thanks to the global worming of the earth and the increase of air pollutants plus carbon dioxide (okay let's not start the Science), Genting just ain't as cold as it used to be.

Although so, I was having a terrible flu, so no matter where I went, it was still gonna be cold. What more Genting at that moment?

Michelle's mom picked me up from my place with the Naza. And guess what? We've got company!

Awww how much cuter can Shih Tzus get nowadays huh? You tell me.

 

There was one more dog, Samson, which is a poodle. Samson is reallly cute, he's not those typical white poodles you see in the cartoons or movies.

He is brown. Like a teddy bear.

No, I kid you not.

From far, it seriously looks like a huge stuffed brown teddy bear with curly fur. Ahhah, too bad I couldn't get a pic of Samson. Cos he was sitting right in front and I was told that he bites. No, he chews. So.............. yeah.

We arrived Genting about 1pm. Well basically what we did the most there was just eat, eat, eat, eat, eat and eat. And eat. Michelle's family sure likes to eat. A LOT. Like every half an hour.

So as soon as we arrived and checked in, they decided to get some snacks.

Michelle started lah with her Kenny Rogers shit. There she went craving for it again. So she bought the potatos from Kenny Rogers. What's with the sudden craze for Kenny Rogers I wonder. I think Indo Har Mee still rocks my whatever world you want to call it. ;)

Here're some random pics.

 

Michelle and I walked the whole First World, and did a lil' shopping. We got ourselves tops from Padini Concept Store. It was having a sale okay.. don't give me that stare.

Soon enough, it was dinner time.

We actually wanted to go to the other hotel to have dinner. We sorta waited for this bus which is supposed to come around picking people up and drop them at nearby places or sumthin'...

But yeah.

Waited till bout 9pm. Not even a shadow.

So we quit that, and went to First World and ate. Ah Yat Abalone Restaurant. Oh don't remind me the price of the dinner man.

We practically ordered 4 rice wrapped with tulip leaves, 1 plate of tau foo, 2 plates or noodles and 1 plate of vegetable.

Give a wild shot. How much do you think it'll cost?

RM150?   RM180? RM200?


........
...............











RM 300++


Wtf man. Why not just rob a bank seriously.

You know the bloody plate of taufoo which had only like 10 pieces of taufoo costed RM60 bucks? In subang you can eat like 10 plates of that, and still buy a 'yao char kuay' with the balanced money.

The best thing is, after they finished clearing all the plates only we found out that the taufoo sauce was made from abalone.

Happy.

Nobody took the sauce you know. =)  L-O-L?


Okay dinner was rather shitty thanks to ridiculous pricings, seriously. Not more than 15 minutes later, Michelle and I went back straight to the hotel room to shit out all the expensive food we just ate.

Talk about expensive food being more digestable huh? Perhaps true.

It was about 10:30pm already. We decided to head down to the Starbucks at the Genting Resort Hotel (not the first world one) to study.

Yes, we brought books on our holiday. Cool wert.. why you lookin at me like I'm some kind of freak? (why don't you doooo sumfin'.. gwen craze, sorry.) =)

Oh remember my terrible flu? Yeah, now it's plus the cough. So, sadly I coudln't order my favourite Javachip Frapp. =(

Mocha latte.

Not my all time favourite I would say. I still like Frapps more.

Michelle was doing Biology while I struggled with Add Maths. The both of us were pretty much sniffing all the way.

We even brought a whole box of tissue from the hotel down to Starbucks. And we used them all. In an hour's time.

That's Michelle's and my mucus you're looking at. Ehehh..


NEXT MORNING. Rise and shine sleepy heads. Time to check out!

After our breakfast at the Genting Resort Hotel, we took a short walk outside the garden area. It was a dammnnn nice weather. So cold and misty.

Here're some flowers I took.

Michelle told me that the yellow flower is called "Tahi Bunga".

Not very 'tahi-ish' to me.

Ah, being the photographer you don't get to be in pictures. But the fun part is you get to take shots on whatever you like.







I like this photograph that I took, although the hand abit spoiler lahh (ahem.. kidding lah Michelle) =P

Mom saw the picture as my wallpaper,

"Eh. Why the hand so small wan?"

"Oh. Michelle mahh."

"Okay understand."


Ahhah. Cute right. That's one thing why everybody loves Michelle. ;D  Saw that kawan, your hand is like on my wallpaper now. Damn bangga right? But that's just damn gay.

Wooohooo! I know you still love me kawan! =)

And Bren, we never forgotten about you at all the whole trip there although you couldn't make it (as usual).

Lol.





Yours truly,
Cheryl, I have Italy fireworks video!! Friggin cool
