AhSang and Chen Xiaoxu Both Died of Breast Cancer

One year ago, the sudden death of a famous actress, Chen Xiaoxu, former Chinese actress and business celebrity, who was widely feted for her portrayal of Lin Daiyu, the tragic famale figure in the Dream of the Red Chamber, a classic of ancient Chinese literature, has drawn public attention to the danger of breast cancer. A global activity named "As a mother, I care more about mothers" was initiated by Estee Lauder, a cosmetics company that sponsors the "Global pink ribbons campaign for breast cancer prevention and cure". It is hoped that the incidence of breast cancer can be controlled and reduced through these activities.

Another breaking news recently is That Taiwanese singer AhSang dies from breast cancer at 34. She didn’t feel well when she was in the Mainland performing last October; an examination upon her return to Taiwan revealed that she was suffering from breast cancer; furthermore, it had already advanced to the final stages. She once wrote a self-encouraging message on her blog; she wrote optimistically, “All of this will pass!” She never, however, mentioned her illness. Although she underwent treatment, the cancer cells had already spread to her lungs and liver. She spent the last portion of her life with her mother and her siblings; in the end, her passing was peaceful.

Breast cancer spreading among young women

In many Chinese hospitals women as young as 18 or 19 have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Experts warn that young women should pay attention to breast health. According to Zhou Dinghua, the surgerical director of Second Artillery General Hospital of PLA, women tend to develop breast cancer at a younger age. He reminds young women not to neglect their breast health and recommends that they have regular check-ups and learn to do self –examination by themselves.

Popular Summer Fabric for Women

What's the most favored fabric and chic clothingthat you want to have in your summer wardrobe ? Summer time is tick around the corner and when I prepare the cooling wear and dress for summer the other days, I found that chiffon dress is still very hot this summer. Acturally chiffon wear has been popular for a long time.

According to Wiki, Chiffon is made from cotton, silk or synthetic fibers. Chiffon can be dyed to almost any shade desired, but if it is made out of polyster, it can be difficult to dye. Under a magnifying glass it resembles a fine net or mesh which gives chiffon some see-through properties. Chiffon is most commonly used in evening wear, especially as an overlay, giving an elegant and floating appearance to the gown. It is also a popular fabric used in blouses, ribbons, scarves and lingerie. Like other crepe fabrics, chiffon can be difficult to work with because of its light and slippery textures. Due to this delicate nature, chiffon must be hand washed very gently. Feeling the same, brocade silk fabric is also popular.

It's quite romantic fabric that girls like very much, and feels like silk, which is much more expensive. Since chiffon is transparent at most times, the the chiffon dress always got inside lining.

Girl Who Wants to Turn Gack Time - 13 Going On 30

It's a comdy for the kid in all of us.

Jenna gets her chance to chill after she's sprinkled with "Wishing Dust" during her disastrous 13th birthday party. She wakes up to find herself 17 years older -- and, more important, drop-dead gorgeous -- with a hunky celebrity boyfriend, lavish Manhattan apartment and fabulous job as editor of a glossy women's magazine.

Trouble is, she's still little Jenna inside her head. From the moment she literally rolls out of bed as the cluelessly adult Jenna, Garner grabs attention with equal measures of giggly girlish exuberance and anxious-adolescent befuddlement.

Classic Lines:

"I'd like to believe,I have to believe that if you knew that,if in your heart,you really,really knew that,you wouldn't be getting ready to marry someone right now,Unless that someone were me."

"I have felt things these past few weeks that I didn't know I could feel anymore.But I have realiszed in these past few days you can't just turn back time"   

"I moved on.You moved on.We have gone down different paths for so long.We made choices."

A Love Story Just Like Fairytale - Notting Hill

Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant charm uswith a clever, funny romance.

The world of the rich and famous can be fascinating for the rest of us. The romantic in all of us pines for a chance encounter with a charming prince or beautiful princess who sweeps us off our feet and into a life of wealth and privelege.
Of course, this rarely happens in reality, but the tale is as old as our collective imaginations and "Notting Hill" tells it smartly.
This being a Hollywood love story, we know how it's going to end, but even though we do, we still enjoy the ride.

Grant, perhaps the greatest stammering aw-shucks romantic lead since Jimmy Stewart, is completely endearing as the ordinary Joe.


Roberts pokes a lot of fun at her own image, while employing her own charisma to her advantage. Is there a more likable actress in Hollywood?

Notting Hill is the real star of the movie. One of the most charming neighborhoods in London, it reminds me of San Francisco's neighborhoods, only with a British endurance. It feels solid and eternal while showing a homey, quirky face to the world. I wouldn't be surprised to find that real estate agents in Notting Hill got a lot of business off of "Notting Hill."

How To Control Womens' Inner Shopping Thirst

As a tipical women who likes cosmetic and beautiful clothing, I would feel uneasy if I don't buy any clothing in two weeks. Under this finatial crisis background, it seems a bad habit to buy too many apparel. One or two classic designed clothes that can be worn a long time is maybe more needed than the stylish ones.

Thus we women need to find a great way to control our shopping thirst. For me, I turn part of my attention to the food recipe knowadge and "yangsheng" tips and if I have to buy something, I would first turn to online shopping site for reference.

We are still in the best age to wear beautiful clothes, the best years for us is just few years, so we won't leave too many regret for us. On the contrary, we also want to save more money for future uncertainty in this unclear time.

We thrive to reach a better blance. Maybe the wise way is to work hard, earn more. But we also know it's best said then done. Do what we can do. Ask yourself those questions when you decided to buy one item.

1, Why do I need it.
2, Do I got clothes and shoes to go with it?
3, Is this price reasonable ?
4, Where would I put it at home.
5, Is it can wear a longer time or just a short period.

I think we should be a girl with more sense.

How Come This Winter Last for So Long

This is a terribly long winter than everyone has expected. The spring wear that I have prepared is in my wardrobe for too long, the winter apparel is not yet out of our sight yet, even thought it's now the season supposed to be sunny and warm.

It's a travelling season in the march and appril, but thanks to the bad weather that with big wind and potential rain, our moon for travel has been hit. Maybe we got to wait still another week, and got stuck at home for another week. I have two film tickets, and just wondering what to see in the coming weekend, but I found all the movies was not my type and there are really not any great movies recently. :(

I had better not prepare any spring wear from now on, since the spring maybe just like a blinkle moment, then the hot summer will totally on its road as usuals.

How come this winter last for so long, how come there is so much rainy days in the supposed to be sunny season. How come the weather become so strange year by year. Maybe it's all our fault due to the pollution.

Travelling Far or Close to Where You Live

It's the best time for travelling in a year, do you begin to think about where you wanna go? Far or close, you need to make a choice. 3 days of holiday is not enough to go to some place too far away, except you take the plane, which would cost more and since it's the fiantial crisis season, peole are now some kind of reluctant to be too squander anyway.

So just pick a nice little place with green trees and nature food, where you can be more close to the nature, with family or your loved ones, then it should be good too. What matters if who you are travelling with. Travelling close can avoild many trouble that a far travelling plans would encouter. Everybody know the holiday would be crazy number of people in any famous senery spot. So maybe go some place nearer should be more comfortable. The choice is yours.

What we love travelling is that it can make our mind fresh after we went back and life need a little change once in a while to avoid mundame and plain. Travelling far, like to the Erupe is a dream of me for many years, I wish we could accomplish this aim soon, so work harder now.

There is all Topic about Travelling Plans

It's a happy season, we got traditional holiday in April and got the labor's holiday in May. So office worker's mind are a little unfocused. Many ladies around me are now taking about their travelling plans these days. We finally can got some time for ourselvse and get a longer rest.

What ever the place you would be travel to, there would be people crowd everywhere, so someone wanna thought about travelling in their own cars, bring a GPS with them and enought money to fit the road. That's should cost you a lot more considering the oil fee, the road pass fee, the parking fee, but you will have more freedom and free time, you can lilsten to music in your own cars. You can be with your family, even your dog, be more comfortable in your own cars.

If you don't want to be too tired, you'd better find another one that can also drive, then you two could take rest one by one, let the driving process be more safe and quick.

Traveling is about being in different places, escape from the familiar surroundings, and seeing thing you haven't seen, if you are with your loved ones, and with good mood, you could enjoy the time wherever you traveled to.
