Know more about Cervical Cancer

Needless to say, Cervical cancer is about cancel of the cervix. I hope you guys know where the cervix is! The cervix (or neck of the uterus) is the lower, narrow portion of the uterus where it joins with the top end of the vagina. Most importantly, one should know the signs and symptoms of cervical cancer, which is what I wish to educate people here about. During the early stages of cervical cancer, you may not observe any signs or symptoms. However do take note if you observe the following: Vaginal bleeding, contact bleeding or (rarely) a vaginal mass may indicate the presence of malignancy. Moderate pain during sexual intercourse and vaginal discharge are also symptoms of cervical cancer.

Those who are more at risk include female smokers, women with multiple sex partners, women who have started having sex at a young age, say around 12 years old as well as women who have had sexually transmitted diseases, such as HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia or syphillis. As long as you have been sexually active, you are actually more prone to be at risk of cervical cancer!

Do you also know that the Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a virus which is closely linked to cervical cancer? Nearly 70% of cases of cervical cancer involve HPV. Hence one prevention of cervical cancer is to get vaccinated against HPV. Then you can also practise safe sex by using condoms. Go for regular pap smear screening to detect cervical cancer. This is most important during the early stages when there are no signs and symptoms.

Hope the above has been useful information. Do go to www.POCC.sg/pledge to give your support to this cause and to spread awareness of cervical cancer and how it can be prevented through vaccination. Thank you! You can also get more information on cervical cancer here.

I want to watch Toy Story 3!

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my Bargain Toys Cheap Toys blog! For today's post, I would be writing about the upcoming movie Toy Story 3! Yes that is right, after a successful Toy Story and Toy Story 2, here comes Toys Story 3 and best of all there is the 3D Toy Story 3 version! Say hello to Woody, Buzz and your favourite gang of toy characters!

To give you some idea of the plot without revealing too much, we all know that the owner of the Toy Story toys, Andy, would grow up someday. In this third Toy Story instalment, Andy is preparing for college and a whole host of wacky and funny things happen to the toys. Before I get everybody more excited, perhaps we can check out the trailer below first:

If you ask me which Toy Story 3 characters do I like, I would have to say that my favourite would be Mr Potato Head. Mr Potato Head is a toy consisting of a plastic model of a potato. On this potato there are special structures that allow you to attach other plastic parts such as ears and eyes to make a face on the potato. Mr Potato head has not only appeared in Toy Story but also in Toy Story 2 with Mrs Potato Head. In Toy Story 3, be prepared to meet both Mr and Mrs Potato Head again.

If you have watched the above trailer, needless to say my favourite scene in the trailer is when Mr and Mrs Potato Head are seated together but their plastic parts such as their eyes hands and legs have all come off and got mixed up and they are trying hard to put themselves together again.

Besides the old characters, Toy Story 3 comes with plenty of new characters, one of my favourites of which is Ken. In the previous Toy Story movies, we have seen Barbie. It is great that she finally finds her other half. More interestingly, Ken seems to have a confused identity and thinks that he is a boy’s toy instead of a girl’s doll or even worse, a Barbie accessory. To find out more about Ken remember to watch Toy Story 3!
