At 3 am we hit the road to the airport because our plane boarding at 5:30 am. We went to Bali for vacation and celebrate my boyfriend's birthday at the same time. We arrived in Bali at 8 am but the weather was not good. It was rainy, so we decided to stay at the hotel and sleep all day. We haven't slept at all, we were staying up because we had to get to the airport early in the morning.
Lucky us. The next 3 days the weather were just perfect. It was sunny, bright and HOT for sure. Hey!! we're in the beach, it IS hot. We went to Blue point, Garuda Wisnu Kencana (GWK) and of course Kuta.

Cysts, Myomas & Endometriosis
Severe pain every time your period? Be careful, it could be a symptom of endometriosis. But it could be symptoms of cysts or uterine myomas as well. What the hell is the difference?
Endometriosis is a condition where the endometrium is outside its proper place, namely in the uterine cavity. "The endometrium itself is a layer that lines the uterine cavity and removed the cyclic when menses as menstrual blood," said dr. Sugi Suhandi Iskandar, Sp.OG from RS Mitra Keluarga Kelapa Gading, Jakarta.
While ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled mass, can be thick like a gel (mucus), could also be liquid (serous). "They are produced by glands in the ovary, which can not be excluded. Eventually recovered, and increasingly large," added Sugi.
Another with uterine myomas. "Uterine myomas are benign tumors of the myometrium (uterine muscle). Based on its location, uterine myomas can be divided into 3, namely intramural myomas (in the muscles of the uterus), subserosa (under the serous layer, protruding into the abdominal cavity),as well as submucosal (protruding into the cavity of the uterus). "
Stimulation ESTROGEN
The cause of the above three disorders is still not clearly known and is still studied."Now, all disease is directed to genetic factors as causes. Breast cancer, for example, genes already known to him. If the mother is breast cancer, her son should get ready. But myomas, cysts, and endometriosis is not yet,"Sugi light.
Some experts argue, uterine myomas occurs because of estrogen stimulation on cells in the uterine muscle. "So, uterine myomas is due to the influence of estrogen. Hence, it is rarely found in children age of puberty, almost never. Children of this age, right, there is no estrogen stimulation. While in menopausal women, myomas usually smaller, because estrogen has been reduced. "
The cause cysts and endometriosis was not known exactly, "Not yet discovered, for example whether the cyst is caused by a clogged gland enlarges," said Sugi.While one suspected cause of endometriosis is the presence of endometriosis cells vomit out the uterine cavity during menstruation. "Well, edometriosis cells are then attached to the outside of the uterine cavity. There is also a mention endometriosis follow the flow of blood or join the flow of lymph glands, so that it could happen endometriosis in the lungs, eyes, and so on. There is more to say endometriosis is caused by pollution environment and unhealthy lifestyle. So, still not sure why. "
Definitive diagnosis of endometriosis is usually obtained through laparoscopic examination. "Endometriosis can currently be severe, depending on the number, location, and symptoms. If severe abdominal pain can arise, even to cause infertility (sterility)."
Medicine: PREGNANT
Third this disorder can certainly be devastating, depending on location, size, and symptoms caused. For example myomas. "If it does not cause symptoms, although large in size, yes, baseball no impact. Endometriosis, though a little, but if it causes severe pain each time period, would be disruptive. Cysts larger than 4 cm, for example, tend to be twisted. If twisted, he be deprived of oxygen and food, causing severe pain. It had to have surgery, "said Sugi.
To overcome this, efforts are now more into prevention. "Healthy living, diet and lifestyle is good, do the medical check-ups at least once a year to the mothers or women who have had sex. With regular inspection, early symptoms can be detected earlier," Sugi said.
When doing a pap smear, should all be done ultrasonography (USG) to view the uterus and ovaries. "If there are no facilities ultrasound, can be done in the examination. Seen her womb how, what the normal amount of baseball, what shape is consistent baseball, right and left ovaries how, and so on. If there are palpable mass, should be careful."
Treatment of endometriosis itself can with oral medications, injections, or surgery. "If endometriosis is mild, so pregnancy, endometriosis usually even better, because of endometriosis, right, removed during menstruation. As long as no menstruation, it usually die / to sleep," Sugi said as he continued, "So, actually the medicine is pregnant."
Therefore, the treatment of endometriosis is usually with the treatment of pseudo-pregnancy or pseudo-menopause. "Created as menopause or pregnancy, so that endometriosis is not growing."
Beware ovarian cancer!
Be careful, in addition to cysts, some cyst-like disorder, namely ovarian cancer."Beware if there is mass in the stomach is shaped like a cyst, and the ultrasound looks berpupil-pupil, the pattern of blood vessels scattered irregularly. Usually checked with a tumor marker. If the results are high, it's not normal cysts. The possibility of large cysts of endometriosis or malignancy ( cancer), "Sugi said.
Ovarian cancer is a silent kiler. "Secretly, without symptoms, but deadly. In contrast to cervical cancer who have symptoms such as bleeding, ovarian cancer is not. No symptoms of anything, we knew already spread to and fro. It is difficult to treat. Therefore, prevention is dininya conduct regular checks. "
WHEN raised?
One of the myomas and cysts therapy is by appointment (surgery).When did myomas should be removed?1. If it was bigger than the size of the age of 12 weeks gestation.2. When you disturb the general circumstances, such as bleeding a lot to need transfusions.3. When magnifying fast. For example, 3 months ago is still 2 cm,now it's been 6 Cm.
When should the cyst be removed?
* If the amount is more than 4 cm, because the above 4 cm, the risk for a big twist.Large cysts in the upper 4 cm rather than follicular cysts. Follicular cysts are cysts that rupture each before the fertile period. "If the above 4 cm, usually functional cysts. At the time of menstruation, usually no follicles. As soon as the time of menstruation there is a mass, it means cysts fungsional.Untuk assured, performed an ultrasound during menstruation," said Sugi.
HOT Pain during menstruation
How, really, to recognize the symptoms of endometriosis, cysts, or myomas? Here are some symptoms that are similar and should be aware of:1. Menstrual pain is severe and persistent.2. Enlargement in the abdomen. Sometimes, if still small, not palpable. But, the greater, will increasingly be felt as a lump.3. Appears emphasis symptoms due to enlargement cysts / uterine. For example, pressing the bladder forwards, backwards to the rectum. Consequently, an interruption occurs defecation and urination.4. In uterine myomas, if a large size, can suppress the surrounding organs.5. If the cyst-stemmed, abdominal pain can arise suddenly, even vomiting due to a twisted stalk cyst.6. It could also make the surface area of the endometrium becomes thicker, making it even higher menstruation. "This is because the uterine contractions diminished or disrupted, so that bleeding during menses more," said Sugi.

Frida Johnson
Days ago, i wrote about Andy Torres and she loved it. I was so excited when she commented on it. Besides Andy, i have another favorite fashion blogger. Here we go.
Hailing from Kungalv, Sweden, Frida Johnson is one style blogger to watch. The sixteen year old shows us that amazing style does not equate with high end designers and a strict following of trends as she carefully mixes and matches items from chain stores such as H&M and Zara, along with one of a kind vintage finds, to create an inspiring style.
Check out her blog on http://blogg.veckorevyn.com/fyndigt/ . I've been trying hard to read the untranslated part because its written in Swedish. :)
Cant wait for her spring/summer looks. I bet it would be really inspiring. All i have to do is working out at gym to loose some weights and get to my last-year body. Gosh, i"ve gained 8kgs in few months and taking longer time to loose it. :(
She's young, pretty, amazing style, great hair, hmmm who wouldn't envy for those (in a good way indeed). :)

Andy Torres
These are the blogs that I love to read regularly and have a huge influence on what I wear.
The DIY jacket by Andy
She's Andrea Torres or Andy, Mexican girl but living in Amsterdam. Having such a great sense of style is a blessed. She's really obsessed with fashion and moving to Paris (well, this pic can tell). Besides all the fantastic looks, i like her because she got a magical wound, DIY-ing something ordinary into a masterpiece.
My favorite color tones, black, white and Grey.
Most of her outfits are dominated with jackets and blazer or any kind of outerwear. I'm not sure if it was because of the cold weather or she likes outerwear like i do tho. I should tweet her and asking about that. Follow her on http://twitter.com/stylescrapbook. When she replied me and answered some questions, i was so excited :)
I wish i could have her BB's pin LOL
I know alot of thing about her from her blog http://www.stylescrapbook.com/, you can check the details of the outfits out on that site. Recently She's doing a 'garage sale' on http://www.shopstylescrapbook.com/, so many cool stuff that worth to buy. Too bad i'm in Indonesia and if i bought one of them, the shipping fee could cost me like double :(
One day, when i have my own apartment or a house, minimalist would be the concept. White painted walls and some are covered with wallpapers, black couch, black or white tables bla bla bla, everything looks so perfect in mind. When Andy posted about her new apartments photos, i was like 'OMG, she did it again'.
What do you think..??

Swedish girl 'grows back face' after reaction to paracetamol
A SWEDISH teenager has grown her face back after an allergic reaction to a single paracetamol pill caused the skin to turn black and peel off.
Eva Uhlin, 19, has recovered her looks after suffering an allergic reaction to the common painkiller, bought over the counter.
The deadly condition, known as toxic epidermal necrolysis, attacked her body, causing her skin to blister, burn and scab.
During her illness, skin on her chest, arms, back and stomach fell off. At one point the damage to Ms Uhlin's face was so bad that her lips fused together.
''It felt like something was crawling around under my skin, I was in total shock - it was like something out of a horror film,'' she said. ''I couldn't believe what was happening. I had taken paracetamol many times before.''
Ms Uhlin's nightmare began in September 2005, when she became ill with a fever on holiday.
Then aged 15, she was told to take a paracetamol tablet to relieve her symptoms, but the combination of her virus and the drug created a freak reaction.
She woke up the next day to find blisters covering her face and spreading all over her body.
''It was terrifying, because at the time they didn't know what was wrong with me or what would happen to me,'' she said.
''When I looked in the mirror for the first time after it happened I didn't recognize myself.''
After years of treatment at the University Hospital of Linkoping in Sweden, Ms Uhlin has finally regained something close to the normal life of teenager and has a job as a waitress.
The British newspaper The Sun reported she spent weeks lying in a hospital bed. But after three years her skin grew back.
She still has to take eye drops twice a day and is sensitive to bright sunlight.
''I've always been a positive person, and I didn't let myself think about the chance that my skin would never be normal again,'' she said. ''As well as the pain, the effect that the reaction had on my confidence for that time was pretty terrible. I was so ashamed of the way I looked. I hated anybody to see me.''
Folke Sjoberg, one of the doctors who treated Ms Uhlin, said she was lucky to recover.
''The condition is very uncommon and it strikes only one in a million people. With this condition you have to just let it run its course because there is no way to stop it,'' he said.
Toxic epidermal necrolysis, also known Lyell's syndrome, kills 40 per cent of sufferers.
Professor Sjoberg said: ''In very basic layman's terms the skin reacts against itself because of the allergic reaction - it is very much like a burn injury, although it does tend to heal much better. At its worst, it covers all the skin on the body and can scab over the eyes and my body.
