2016-11 Favorite Postcards Received
My Postcrossing ranking for November 2016 as below:-
On 65th most postcards sent from Malaysia
On 64th longest distance sent from Malaysia
In this month, I received
my portraits postcard which look exactly me.
I like this postcard which
has the pictorial map of Japan. It is introduced toys in Japan which is so
interesting.
Shiisa is a
traditional Ryukyuan decoration, often in pairs, resembling a cross between a
lion and a dog from Okinawan mythology. People place pairs of shisa on their
rooftops or flanking the gates to their houses. Shisa are wards believed to
protect from some evils. When in pairs, the left shisa traditionally has a
closed mouth, the right one an open mouth. The open mouth wards off evil
spirits and the closed mouth keeps good spirits in.
Nagashibina is an
event that involves dispelling impurities and misfortunes by floating dolls
away on water. In this rite, dry straw is woven into a boat which carries a
pair of male and female dolls to be cast adrift in the river.
Okiagari-koboshi is a
Japanese traditional doll which made from papier-mache and is designed so that
its weight causes it to return to an upright position if it is knocked over. It
is considered a good luck charm and a symbol of perseverance and resilience.
Temari is Japanese
thread balls.
Kokeshi are Japanese
dolls originally from northern Japan. They are handmade from wood, have a
simple trunk and an enlarged head with a few thin, painted lines to define the
face. The body has a floral design painted in red, black and sometimes yellow
and covered a layer of wax. One characteristic of kokeshi dolls is their lack
of arms or legs.
Akabeko is a legendary
cow from the Aizu region of Japan who inspired a traditional toy. The toy is made from 2 pieces of
papier-mache-covered wood, shaped and painted to look like a red cow or ox. One
piece represents the cow’s head and neck and the other its body. The head and
neck hangs from a string and fits into the hollow body. When the toy is moved,
the head thus bobs up and down and side to side.
Kamifusen or paper balloons
emerged as a charming alternative to the rubber balloon. It created by the
wives of fishermen during the winter season with handmade paper.
It was my first time
to hear about “Kuopio”. Sena told me that the postcard showed picture of market
hall which is in the centre of Kuopio. Kuopio is a city located in the region
of Northern Savonia, Finland.
This is the illustration
of a Taiwan man with Poland lady. They are getting married soon.
Besides writing some
words, my friend Ling is so creative that telling her travel story in drawing which
is so creative and beautiful.
This was my first time
to see this luggage sticker and postcard. My postcard friend knew I love travel so send
this postcard for me.

sell environment features an ever-increasing amount of classic and emerging
brands across a broad range of product categories including skincare, makeup,
fragrance, body and hair care and in addition to Sephora’s own private label.
In
Malaysia also has Sephora store
which you can pay for visit but in my place (Labuan) don’t have Sephora store.
Luckily I can buy some beauty stuff through Sephora website. All the items are
ship from Singapore and can enjoy FREE SHIPPING when purchase amount more than
RM 80. For those orders below RM 80 need pay for RM 20 of shipping fee.
Let
take a look for my mask haul before you start to shop at here.
Sephora
Collection of mask has a very good review via online so sure I will buy some
for a try. It offers wide range of flavors which suit for your daily need.
The
packaging of sleeping mask is so cute in ball shape like Pokemon ball. This
mask contains a luxurious cream-gel that absorbs into skin while you sleep. I
choose for Avocado which for moisturizing and nourishing.
It
is recommended using one or twice a week. First take a small amount with your
fingertips then massage onto clean face and neck around all areas. Next, leave
on overnight and if necessary rinse off the excess in the morning.
Upon
application, I can smell some light scent of avocado. Apply in thin layer so
that it is easily absorbed to skin and the gel will not stick on pillow. At the
next morning, I can feel my skin is been moisturizing.
During
travelling, it is not convenience to bring ball shape mask around so you can
buy some mono sleeping mask. It’s save a lot space.
Spending
most of the time on computer and hand phone made my eyes looks dull. Therefore
an eye mask is a must to make my skin relax and fights signs of stress.
It is recommended using one or twice a week. First open the sachet and take out a pair of eye mask. Then remove the protective film from the white fiber patches and apply the patches under each eye area and leave for 15 minutes. Then gently massage the skin to allow the essence to absorb.
 |
| Before - Apply - After |
When
open the sachet, I can smell the ginseng scent. After apply the eye mask, I can
feel the skin around my eyes hydrated.
Speaking
about mud, I think many people will think it is smelly but the real is light
smell of mud which good for protect against skin damage because the mud is rich
in nutrients with essential minerals. It is 9,000 years old black moor mud
which harvested by hand from the Irish countryside.
This
mask is good for purifying (Irish Moor Mud), decongesting (Activated charcoal) and
hydrating (Hijiki Seaweed). It is formulated WITHOUT parabens, sulfates and
phthalates.
It
is recommended using one or twice a week or before a special event. First, use
fingertips to apply the mud mask on clean skin. Then leave on up to 10 minutes.
After that remove with damp washcloth and rinse skin thoroughly of any
remaining residue. You can follow with moisturizer and/or sun protection.
When
apply the mask, I can feel a “spicy” feel on my mask but don’t too worry as a
cooling sensation indicates the mask is working. After masking, I can feel that
my face is clean and moisturizing.
For
all purchases can redeem samples for a try so what you wait for, let shop in Sephora.

[Guest Post] Mesothelioma Treatment Options
Before this I had been wrote a post about
Mesothelioma which you can read at here. Recently I had been collaborating with Community Outreach Vounteer to share more about Mesothelioma especially for treatment parts.
Although
there is no cure for mesothelioma, there are several mesothelioma treatment
options that are available. The focus of these specific treatments is based on
improving prognosis for mesothelioma patients. Even if a patient does not have
a viable lifespan, alternative therapies and palliative care help in reducing
any type of suffering and pain that is associated with mesothelioma. The choice
of treatment options for mesothelioma
depends on numerous factors. These include the stage of the cancer, type of
mesothelioma, overall health of the patient, patient’s preference and potential
side effects of the treatment. It is important that you learn about the
available treatment options if you or a loved one has been diagnosed with
mesothelioma. Ask your doctor questions about each treatment option as well as
the goals and possible outcomes of each treatment.
Surgery
Surgery
is the most common method that is used to treat mesothelioma when the disease
is diagnosed at an early stage. A surgical procedure can be performed to remove
most of the tumor or all of it. Surgery can include the removal of the
mesothelial lining, lymph nodes, part of or the entire organ like the lung
depending on the location of the tumor.
Chemotherapy
This
treatment option entails the administration of chemotherapy drugs. Upon
administration, the drugs attack the fast-growing cancer cells. Chemotherapy is
usually used with other treatment options. For instance, chemotherapy drugs are
administered to kill all mesothelioma cells that are left behind after the
surgeon is unable to remove them physically.
Radiation therapy
This
treatment option entails the use of radiation that targets mesothelioma tumors.
Targeted radiation shrinks mesothelioma tumors making their removal through
surgery easier. Radiation is delivered using an internal or external source
depending on the location of the tumor.
Experimental treatment options
In
addition to the above conventional mesothelioma treatment
options, there are other treatments for mesothelioma that researchers are
working on. Some of them are extremely promising and they have already
undergone clinical trials successfully. They have also been proven effective in
not only extending mesothelioma patients’ lives but improving the quality of
life as well.
These
include:
• Gene therapy
This
is a mesothelioma treatment approach that is based on the fact that
mesothelioma cancer is caused by a fault in the DNA of the cell. Therefore, the
disease can be fought by overwriting or fixing problematic genes.
• Immunotherapy
The
idea behind this treatment option is that by boosting or kick-starting the
immune system, it harnesses the immune system’s power and enhances the body
defenses to be able to fight mesothelioma cancer. Immunotherapy has been
showing excellent results.
• Photodynamic therapy
Using
photosensitizing drugs and light, researchers have established a way of killing
cancer cells. The way this works is a drug is injected into the patient to bond
to the cancer cells after which a high intensity light is used to activate it.
This treatment approach has few side effects but is definitely worth looking
into.
Emerging treatments and clinical trials
Clinics
across the world perform continuous clinical trials on all sorts of common and
uncommon diseases. These trials are focused on establishing new ways of
treating various cancers including mesothelioma. Clinical trials are the only
treatment options that can provide hope and opportunities for patients that are
still looking for effective treatments for mesothelioma. For instance,
researchers are currently investigating new chemotherapies, targeted drugs and
protocols for providing medications. Some trials also focus on expanding the
realms of immunotherapy (mentioned above).
Other
mesothelioma treatment techniques under investigation include novel
radiotherapy and genetic therapy. It is strongly advisable that you learn about
all the available mesothelioma treatment options so that you can make an
informed decision when choosing a mesothelioma treatment for you or for a loved
one.
