Diarrhea


What is diarrhea?
Diarrhea is
an increase in the frequency of bowel movements
or a decrease in the form of stool
(greater looseness of stool).
Although changes in frequency of bowel movements
and looseness of stools can vary independently of each other,
changes often occur in both.

Diarrhea needs to be distinguished from four other conditions.
Although these conditions may accompany diarrhea,
they often have different causes and different treatments than diarrhea.
These other conditions are:
---------------------------------------
incontinence of stool,
which is the inability to control (delay) bowel movements
until an appropriate time,
for example, until one can get to the toilet

rectal urgency,
which is a sudden urge to have a bowel movement
that is so strong that if a toilet is not immediately available
there will be incontinence

incomplete evacuation,
which is a sensation
that another bowel movement is necessary
soon after a bowel movement,
yet there is difficulty passing further stool the second time

bowel movements immediately after eating a meal
---------------------------------

Diarrhea is caused by
increased water in the stool.
During normal digestion,
food is kept liquid
by the secretion of large amounts of water by the stomach,
upper small intestine, pancreas, and gallbladder.
Food that is not digested
reaches the lower small intestine and colon in liquid form.
Increased amounts of water in stool
can occur if the stomach and/or small intestine secretes too much fluid,
the distal small intestine and colon do not absorb enough water,
or the undigested,
liquid food passes too quickly
through the small intestine and colon
for enough water to be removed.
Of course,
more than one of these abnormal processes
may occur at the same time.

For example,
some viruses, bacteria and parasites
cause increased secretion of fluid,
either by invading and inflaming
the lining of the small intestine
(inflammation stimulates the lining to secrete fluid)
or by producing toxins (chemicals)
that also stimulate the lining to secrete fluid
but without causing inflammation.
Inflammation of the small intestine
and/or colon from bacteria or from ileitis/colitis
can increase the rapidity with which food passes through the intestines,
reducing the time that is available for absorbing water.

Conditions of the colon such as
collagenous colitis
can block the ability of the colon to absorb water.
----------------------------------

Most episodes of diarrhea are mild and of short duration
and do not need to be brought to the attention of a doctor.
The doctor should be consulted when there is:

-High fever (temperature greater than 101 F)

-Moderate or severe abdominal pain or tenderness

-Bloody diarrhea that suggests severe intestinal inflammation

-Diarrhea in persons with serious underlying illness
for whom dehydration may have more serious consequences,
for example, persons with diabetes, heart disease, and AIDS

-Severe diarrhea that shows no improvement after 48 hours.

-Moderate or severe dehydration

-Prolonged vomiting that prevents intake of fluids orally

-Acute diarrhea in pregnant women
because of concern for the health of the fetus

-Diarrhea that occurs during or immediately
after completing a course of antibiotics
because the diarrhea may represent antibiotic-associated infection
with C. difficile that requires treatment

-Diarrhea after returning from developing countries
or from camping in the mountains
because there may be infection
with Giardia (for which there is treatment)

-Diarrhea that develops in patients
with chronic intestinal diseases
such as colitis, or Crohn's disease
because the diarrhea may represent worsening of the underlying disease
or a complication of the disease, both requiring treatment

-Acute diarrhea in an infant or young child
in order to ensure the appropriate use of oral liquids
(type, amount, and rate),
to prevent or treat dehydration,
and to prevent complications of inappropriate use of liquids
such as seizures and abnormal blood electrolytes

-Chronic diarrhea
-------------------------------

Why am I telling you all this?
It is because I have diarrhea right now
and I'm bored.

Make-up is a BIG NO In My Life


No matter how many times I use cosmetics
No matter how many times people say I look gorgeous with makeup
No matter how many times I look at cosmetic products
I secretly just hate wearing it

Having makeup sticking onto my face
is okay once in a while,
but I could never want to wear it everyday!
You'll only see me with makeup
when I'm going to a dinner party or any other party,
which I don't really go to those stuff often,
I love my makeup to be simple
with just a basic powder, lip balm and eyeliner.

Imagine toxic pile up in your bloodstream
and the next thing you know you're having skin problems.
That's exactly what will happen if one uses makeup
in their daily routine.
When makeup is applied to the skin
the skin act as a sponge
which absorbs the makeup
into the bloodstream
and it is kept there forever.
Which is why people often have skin problems
such as blemish, blackheads and all sort of problems.
If it's you're unlucky
you can even get cancer from it.

Originally
cosmetics are used to protect the skin.
For example,
everyone should apply lotion onto their skin
to protect the skin from sun-rays
because sun-rays causes skin aging and eventually skin cancer.
However,
the world as we know today
uses cosmetics for beauty purposes.

So no matter what you say, I still hate using cosmetics.

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (Season 1 & 2)



I guess you can say that
I'm an anime freak huh?
hahaha

So this anime comes in seasons
like season 1 and season 2.
AND
this anime has a season 3!
Isn't it cool?!

This anime is about
a third grader girl (Nanoha)
finds herself involving into a world with magic.
Unfortunately, she had to face a lot of rivals
and eventually became her friend in the end.
Mainly this anime is about friendship and loyalty.

If you guys are wondering
Nanoha is the girl with orange-brownish hair,
Fate is the girl with blonde hair, and
Hayate is the girl with brown hair.

What I love most about this anime is
their clothes and weapons.
Especially Fate's one!
I love Hayate's outfit :3
But then I also love Nanoha's skills :D
I don't know which to pick (@_@)

I finished the anime for A DAY!
per season that is


Now I'm finding the right moment to
watch the next season
which is
Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Strikers
I can't wait to watch it!
hehe :3

--------------------------

My sweetheart loves this anime very much
until he wants me to watch.
I guess that's where I got infected to the addiction of watching anime :P

Merry Christmas!


It was Christmas yesterday,
my sister, brother and I
went to 1 Borneo on that day.
The decorations were cool and it really brought out the joy.

Other than the decorations
the building was full of people in it
(more than usual).
Maybe because there were lots of sales
and also events!

But apart from all of that
my favorite was the
Blueberry Cheesecake :3


I took it before it enters into my tummy (>_<)

As you all know
I'm a big fan of blueberry cheesecake
since my sweetheart introduced it to me.
Before this one came,
I was a big fan of chocolate cheesecake
because I really love chocolate back then.
However,
it is because of my darling's passion
for blueberry cheesecakes that got me into it!
...sigh...
I can still remember those moments.

The 23rd Number


First of all
I would like to wish my friend
Rick Einstein Kual
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
It's his birthday today.

The number 23
represents something in my life.
It feels like it's a very special number.
Mainly because I'm born on 23rd of November.
Somehow I've met those who was born on the 23rd too.
Such as my best friend Angelica,
she's born on the 23rd of September,
and my ex-classmate Haziq,
he's born on the 23rd of October.

I know it may sound weird
but I love the number.
I can't wait to met the rest who's born on the 23rd!

Jikan yo Tomare (Stop Time)


Jikan yo Tomare
which also means Stop Time
is one of my favourite
ending theme song
in Itazura Na Kiss.

I love this song because
it also represents my feelings
towards him.
Whenever I hear this song
after one of the episode is finished
I just feel like listening to it.
Every time I listened,
I always thought about how I feel towards him
and how much I miss him.
I also thought the days when I was with him.
It makes me want to cry.

Lyrics (english) :

The time I spend with you is surprising
I’ve finally realized, that our date is already over
I don’t want to go, I don’t want to ever return
Stop time so we’ll be together forever

If it’s a fairytale
I’ll go to tomorrow where your presence is…
every time, everyday, everything…
Even without words
You are my special place
If my only wish could become true
Dear God, please stop our time…

I’ll tightly hold the hand you gave me
Your casual kindness is happiness
I’m hiding my words in embarrassment
The moments when our eyes met
The time I’m with you
Until I see the last train leave
It’s not enough, but
I’ll hang onto your hand

Stop the time, just like this
It won’t come true
It’s my selfishness
I want to tell you about my impatience
There’s only twenty-four hours in a day
It’s not enough, after a hundred hours
That should be much more
I’ll find endlessness good

When will we meet again?
No matter how many times I say it, I keep thinking about it
A half of me is anxious and the other half is hoping
This feeling won’t change, maybe, surely
What do you think of me?

every time, everyday, everything…
I’m homesick for warmth
Not becoming words, the voice of the heart
Because I’ll show it to you honestly from now on
God, please stop time when it moves
It’s fine even if it’s in selfishness
I’ll say that I won’t return it
If you’re the one I wish for
I’ll attach a flower on my heart with no hesitation

every time, everyday, everything…
Even though it doesn’t become words
You are my special place
If my only wish would come true
Dear God alone, please stop our time

every time, everyday, everything
Even if we’re apart, I’ll tie the both of us together again
You are my special person
every time, everyday, everything
Believe, even if time can’t be stopped
If it’s fate, we’ll come across each other, won’t we?

If it’s fate, we’ll come across each other, won’t we?

Itazura Na Kiss


I watched an anime recently
called Itazura Na Kiss.
It's really an amazing anime!
Especially to those who love romance in their anime!
Like ME :3

This anime is about a high school girl (Kotoko)
who had fell in love with the smartest guy in school (Naoki)
who's a cold-hearted guy to everyone.
She got rejected by him
even before he read her love letter.

Suddenly, her house got crushed down
by a level 2 earthquake
and her father and her had an offer to stay at the Irie's house,
which also happened to be Naoki's house!
A lot of things happened after that
and Naoki silently starts to fall in love with Kotoko.
He starts to realize that Kotoko brings joy and excitement
into his life
since his life is all about studying without any goals.

They then got married
and got a job.
The story continues
when Naoki, Kotoko and Kotomi (their daughter)
went to visit Naoki's grandparents.
It's a very good anime recommended to all!

p.s. I finished the anime in one day

After SPM = Boredom


The good news is
SPM is freaking over!!
I don't have to wear any stupid uniforms
or wake up 4am everyday
or get stress the whole day in school
or come home late knowing that I have tuition at night
or even get tan!

The bad news is
there's nothing to do here at home
My mum don't let me work
I can't play online games
I have to watch the same old boring tv shows
In short
I have to face boredom

My New Companion - Headaches


SPM is just around the corner
and of course everyone in class is struggling for their lives
to hope that they will get good results for their SPM
Including me

So what did I do ?
I burned the midnight oil
and
I had lack of sleep
True
that It wasn't healthy
Because afterward
I slept per week which was worth per month of sleep
Which is why
I think
I experience headache
no appetite
sudden rise in temperature
obsess in sleeping


According to WebMD
(click it for evidence)
oversleeping is actually a medical disoder
which may cause
anxiety
low energy/slow metabolism
memory lost
diabetes
obesity
headache
back pain
depression
heart disease
what's worst
death

So beware~

He's My Drug



He is like a drug
A medicine
which cures all of my sickness
He is like a gift
A really special gift from the father above
A gift which was given
to an unworthy person like me

Maybe God heard my prayer
my cry
my yell
Maybe that's why he calls me
right after I post 'Suicidal'

It seems that
God hasn't abandon me
God had never abandon me all this while
He'll help those who really needs him
and I thank him for the great things he have done
towards a being like me

Maybe the great depression
was because of my heart
which is longing for his love.
It's been a while now
But we still last
Believe it or not
Long distance relationship
can't break us both down
all it takes is
trust
passion
faith
strength

+I can never live without him+

Suicidal



I don't know what's going on to me lately
I've been feeling really depress inside me
Until I feel suicidal

I don't know why
I can't get satisfied from sleeping
I feel like I just want to sleep the whole day
Even though I would get headache after that
I'd still want to sleep
I ever had a dream
Where my sweetheart was telling me
"Don't sleep too much, you could die from sleeping too much"
When I think back
Maybe God is telling me something
But no matter what I do
I still want to sleep
It's like I've turned into a sloth

I feel useless at the same time
I could just have studied or do my homework
or do my revision or anything that I can benefit
But why on Earth
do I want to sleep the whole day??

My memories and knowledge
are fading little by little
I couldn't even remember the simplest thing
Like when I last took my shower

I feel very dumb
I don't feel like studying
Even when my teachers gave us some worksheets to be done
I couldn't even stand a minute answering it

WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?!?!?!?!

I don't wish to be a useless person in the future
I don't wish to regret what I've done
I don't wish to depend on people
I want to be independent
I want to be successful
I want to do wonderful things
I want to be the woman that I want to be
Strong in faith
Caring
Loving
Smart
Beautiful
Not
Idiotic
Egoist
Pessimist
Emotional
Weak

But what's happening to me?
I don't wish to be like this
Where's the dream I use to have?
Where's the hope that I wish for?
Where's the strength that belongs to me?
Where?


I'm crying behind the smiles
I don't really show it
Unless I really can't stand it anymore
Right now
Right here
I want to cry
I feel very suicidal
I want a shoulder to cry
Even though I know my friends are there for me
But why am I still feeling lonely?
Why am I still feeling sad?

Oh God
Forgive me for my thoughts of death
I don't wish to be like this
Give me the strength once more
To live another day fully for you
and for everyone else
Take away my sadness and sorrows
Replace it with your care and love
Shower me with your most precious blood
Send your holy spirit to guide me in my journey
To find the light and truth
and you
Amen

Thoughts

I stared at my cell phone.
Suddenly,
I felt an urge to call him.
I tried to ignore the feeling,
but it just keeps on getting stronger and stronger.
So,
I held up my cell phone
and dial his number.
My heart was beating fast
as I pressed his cell phone number.
Finally, I press the green button.
I held my cell phone to my right ear.
I can listened the casual tut sound.
..tut tut..
What should I say when he picks up the phone?
..tut tut..
Oh no, he's going to pick up the phone soon. What to do?
..tut tut..
I'll just act casual, I think.
..tut tut..
I wonder if he's busy?
..tut tut..
Maybe I called at the wrong time.
..tut tut..
Maybe he's sleeping.
..tut tut..
He won't pick up the phone
..the number that you have dial is bla bla bla..
I guess I'll just leave a missed call.
Then, I pressed the red button.

I called the second time.
He answered the phone this time.
"Hello?"
"Hello"
"How are you?"
"I'm fine"
"That's good"
"Where are you?"
"I'm with my friends. I'll reload my phone and call you tonight, okay?"
"Okay"
"Bye"
"Bye"
Then, we both put the phone down.
I wasn't upset
because I can't talk to him.
I was glad
that he's going to call me tonight
and we'll be able to talk as long as we want.
Hehe <3

Sleeping Problems

Okay so..
Lately,
I've been having sleeping problems
It's not like I can't sleep
I just can't stop sleeping (x_x)

I know I've been sleeping too much
Because today
Right after school when I reached home (1.30pm)
I straight away head to bed
until 5.30pm
Because I have tuition at 7.15pm-9.15pm

Then after tuition when I reached home (10pm)
I straight away head to bed
until my sweetheart called

Right now it's midnight
I can't sleep
Because I've been sleeping the whole day
knowing that I have a lot of homework due
So I'll be doom by tomorrow

I know I should just get my butt on the chair
and start doing my homework
But I can't
I seriously don't know why
It's like I don't really care about it anymore

Maybe it's because of stress
Maybe my brain need some rest
Because we just finished our monthly test
well...not exactly...
I'll be having my Chemistry test on Monday (=_=)
Because my Chemistry teacher
didn't prepare any Chemistry test for us last Monday
Yay~ test~

For no reason
I'm fed up with studying
It's tiring...very very tiring

I can't imagine my life in college
It must be worse than this
D:

Examination Week


So this week
my school will be having test
Today we were test on
..Malay..
..Biology..
..Chemistry..

I <3 exams
Why?
Because I don't have to bring lots of books to school :D

We didn't had Chemistry test today
because our Chemistry teacher didn't prepare any
Our Chemistry teacher (Sir See)
Has been sick lately
And from what I heard
He had stroke :(
So sad..

Biology was fun :D
Because the paper test on my favourite topics
which are
..Chapter 5 - Inheritance..
..Chapter 6 - Variation..

I don't know why I love those two topics
more than any other topics in Biology
Maybe because
it has something to do with what will happen in the future
which is having my own children <3

Isn't she just the cutest thing?

Lately,
I've come to realize that
I have a deep passion for having children
and I'm always concern about what will my child be
if I do this or that
and what will happen to my child
if I do this or that

Likewise my sweetheart
He's born to be a father
Although,
I don't have what it takes
to be a good mother
but I am willing to learn for the better

As you may have guess
in Biology
I also love the topic where
they discuss about the formation of twins

I wish I will have a twin in the future (>_<)

Going Pink :3


Starting from August, 2009
I'm starting to like pink
Maybe it's just
because I wanna do something different
with my blog
Since my all other account are black & white in colour
Why not give the pink a Go?

..Pink..
I would describe it as something
that gives the person
a calm and sweet feeling
yet lovely <3

..Pink
..
To me is Love <3
Because whenever I think about my sweetheart
the background will be pink in colour

I love pink <3

--------------------------------


However I still love Black & White
They will be my forever favourites!
because black matches with any colour in the world
likewise for the colour white
That's why
Those two colours are special
