Power Over Cervical Cancer campaign

Do you know that Cervical Cancer can be vaccinated against?

This month, Power Over Cervical Cancer (POCC) will be rallying for the support of bloggers to help raise awareness for the only vaccine-preventable cancer.

Thanks to Nuffnang, I get to learn about the campaign to protect all the women namely, Power Over Cervical Cancer (POCC)...Cervical Cancer is really a cancer of neglect. Although Cervical Cancer is the only female cancer that can be prevented, however, only two percent of Singapore's women are vaccinated against this fatal disease.

So what is cervical cancer?

A woman's cervix is located at the lower part of the womb and consists of millions of tiny cells. Sometimes, changes can occur in these cells. In many cases, the cells spontaneously recover. However, in some cases, these changes in the cells develop into cancer. Cervical cancer can be prevented if these precancerous changes are detected and treated.

According to Health Promotion Board (Singapore):

Cervical cancer is the 5th most common cancer among Singaporean women. Every year, about 200 women are detected with cervical cancer and about 100 die from the disease.

The incidence of cervical cancer in Singapore has declined from 18.1 in 1968 to 10.6 per 100,000 women in 2002. Among the three major ethnic groups in Singapore , Chinese has the highest incidence rate of 11.5 per 100,000 women per year, followed by the Malays and Indians at 7.4 and 6.1 per 100,000 women respectively.

You can find out more information about Cervical Cancer by visiting www.pocc.sg

Do you know that?

1) A pap smear.
Cervical Cancer can take anytime from 10-20 years to develop but before that, pre-cancer cells develop and CAN be detected by a Pap smear. A pap smear can help detect any abnormality. This is really important as detection in the early stages can help prevent cancer. Cervical cancer CAN be treated if detected early.

2) A HPV vaccination

A Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccination helps stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies that protect against HPV types which causes cancer.
What can you do about it?
1.) Start with YOURSELF
2.) Go for Pap smears every 1-3years and protect yourself with a Cervical Cancer vaccination.
3.) Consult your family doctor on getting vaccinated against Cervical Cancer or you may also go to www.pocc.sg to check out a list of doctors that provide this.

Power Over Cervical Cancer is a campaign that aims to make Singapore the country with the lowest incidence of Cervical Cancer and they need your help to spread the word. Pledge your support for this cause and protect those you care about by telling them about Cervical Cancer. Together, we have POWER Over Cervical Cancer. Click the button below to begin!

Is Remember me based on true story?

Title: Remember Me

Is "Rememeber me" based on true story?

Ans: The writer of the screenplay for "Remember Me", Will Fetters, says that the story is not based on a true story.

Directed By: Allen Coulter

Starring: Robert Pattinson, Emilie de Ravin, Pierce Brosnan, Chris Cooper, Lena Olin, Ruby Jerins, Tate Ellington

We can’t expect every movie to be good, but there’s nothing worse than walking out of a theater downright angry. Overall, Remember Me is rather boring at some parts, but manages to squeeze in a few powerful moments making it very worthwhile.

Edward Cullen, (remember twilight??) - Robert Pattinson leads as Tyler, an NYU student who’s undecisive - about everything. He adores his young sister, Caroline (Ruby Jerins), but struggles with his father’s (Pierce Brosnan) negligence.

During one of his outbursts, a noble effort goes wrong and Tyler assaults a cop (Chris Cooper) earning him and his best pal, Aidan (Tate Ellington), a night in prison. When Aidan sees this cop dropping his daughter, Ally (Emilie de Ravin) off outside an NYU building, he sees it as an opportunity to seek some revenge. He dares Tyler to approach her and when he does, a harmless gag becomes a budding relationship.

Ally witnessed the fatal shooting of her mother when she was young. Ever since, her father blames himself for the incident. An alcohol induced mishap, which prevents Ally from phoning home to inform daddy that she’ll be spending the night out. When she returns home the next morning, he lashes out and she flees into Tyler’s arms.

The dialogue is natural, but predictable creating a desperation to get the show on the road. Remember Me does have its moments. The connection that’s far more memorable is that between Tyler and Caroline.

Not only are the scenes shared between Pattinson and Jerins the most effective instances, they lend Pattinson’s character a very necessary softness. His passion for his sister’s happiness transpires to his lack of ardor towards his father. Brosnan does stern and heartless quite well enhancing Pattinson’s more emotional outbursts. The two share a particularly compelling moment after Brosnan’s character backs out of Caroline’s art show.

You will love the story even more because of the ending. Some critics had mentioned that "anything Remember Me accomplishes is lost thanks to an insultingly inappropriate ending.....All this event’s insertion accomplishes is ruining the movie’s few achievements and leaving viewers in disgust." However, I beg to defer, this movie is a sure twister for all who watch it. I believe it’s an epic of the title remember me. This is a movie in which everyone can learn from and take something from it. Your mind will be touched and your heart will sink.

Sadly the story is not based on a true story. I had assumed otherwise. "Wasn't it based on the journal that Tyler Hawkins was writing?" No???!!! What a waste...

Sorry Sorry - Super Junior

I happen to find this very cute entertainment show in korean (eng sub) call Fantasy Couple. And the kid in the show is having a "talk show" with a Singer from Super Junior.

Find it simply adorable and funny.



The conversation of with the kid is amazing! She's so cute...The singer is called Eunhyuk...kinda nice looking...You can see him going to cry at the end...I wonder if he was laughing so hard till he wants to cry or cos the little girl's likes another singer in the group more...LOL...

Anyway I took the trouble to find out what actually is Super Junior and found out that they are the singer of call "Sorry Sorry", the song I really like.

Do you know? - You must air the car before switching on the Air Condition?

Do you know? - You must air the car before switching on the Air Condition?

Any new car's booklet specifically states that one should open car windows for 5 minutes + to air the car before switching on the Air Condition I wondered why.

No wonder more folks are dying from cancer than ever before. We wonder where this stuff comes from but here is an example that explains a lot of the cancer causing incidents. Hmmm. Many people are in their cars first thing in the morning and the last thing at night, 7 days a week.

As I read this, it makes me feel guilty and ill. Please pass this on to as many people as possible. Guess its not too late to make some changes Car A/C (Air Conditioning) MUST READ!!!

Please do NOT turn on A/C as soon as you enter the car.

Open the windows after you enter your car and turn ON the AC after a Couple of minutes.

Here's why:

According to a research, the car dashboard, sofa, air freshener emit Benzene, a Cancer causing toxin (carcinogen - take time to observe the Smell of heated plastic in your car).

In addition to causing cancer, Benzene poisons your bones, causes anemia ad reduces white blood cells.

Prolonged exposure will cause Leukemia, increasing the risk of cancer.

Can also cause miscarriage.

Acceptable Benzene level indoors is 50 mg per sq. Ft. A car parked indoors with windows closed will contain 400-800 mg of Benzene.

If parked outdoors under the sun at a temperature above 60 degrees F, the Benzene level goes up to 2000-4000 mg, 40 times the acceptable level.

People who get into the car, keeping windows closed will inevitably Inhale, n quick succession, excessive amounts of the toxin..

Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidney and liver.. What's worse, it is Extremely difficult for your body to expel this toxic stuff.

So friends, please open the windows and door of your car - give time for Interior to air out -dispel the20deadly stuff - before you enter.

Google - Pacman

Jokes: Knowing scripture can save your life

A woman had just returned to her home from an evening of church
services, when she was startled by an intruder. She caught the man in the
act of robbing her home of its valuables and yelled: 'Stop! Acts 2:38!'
(Repent and be Baptized, in the name of Jesus Christ, so that your sins
may be forgiven.)

The burglar stopped in his tracks. The woman calmly called the police and
explained what she had done.

As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar: 'Why
did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a scripture to
you.'

'Scripture?' replied the burglar. 'She said she had an Ax and Two 38s!'

Send this to someone who needs a laugh today and remember: Knowing
scripture can save your life - in more ways than one!
