WOAH.

Ending January and I still havent got my p*riod.

Ok woops. abit too personal but hey if you're not a girl you wont know the annoying-ness of it. Plus its my first miss since 2002. I love having this bloody break. (pun intended)

I remember once, a guy friend asked me out of curiosity, what does having a period feel like. Is it messy? What does it look like? How does it feel? Is it uncomfortable?...blah blah blah.

I tell this isnt one of the most random questions I get. Ive had guys ask me how to woo a girl, how to pen an effective love letter, or in this case it was an email and what girls like etc etc...all out of the blue requests.

He just wanted a girls POV on what would be convincing and sincere sounding in a love letter. HAHA. couldnt turn down a plea for help from a love-stricken guy so I kindly sacrificed 30mins of my precious time to pen one for him. He really sent it ok! Its was for this thai chick (being a waitress at an asian restaurant, this keeps reminding me of 'Thai Chicken', cos when taking orders chicken is short-formed into 'chick'. I think I been working too much.) he met in a exchange program. AWWW.

Hehe~ falling in lurve with a Thai Chicken. *cluck cluck* I personally prefer Nandos chickens though, marinated in EXTRA HOT PERI PERI SAUCE (KFC is yuck).
Hen hao chi de...


Ended up she was already attached so he got rejected. AWWWWWW.

Anyway, quit digressing and back to where I was.

Periods.
well for the curious, it basically feels like you have a weak bladder and you have absolutely no control over when it comes out.

Thats why every girl at some point or other in their life has had a period accident. I remember in Year 9 in Perth, I left my seat in class and I had accidently (duh! then what? purposely?!) left a HEEEYOOOOGEEEE blood mark on my chair! Luckily a female friend was kind enough to DISCREETLY tell me and I hurriedly cleaned it up. Eh dont laugh ok. The embarrassment is horrigible. I mean, Im talking to the guys here, if say you accidently wee-ed on your chair in class WOULD YOU WANT THE ENTIRE CLASS KNOWING?!

Obviously no. Unless you are some attention seeking noob.

Same thing here. Except its red and not yellow or clear and thus more obvious. =//

I find periods rather annoying. Sometimes when you've been sitting for a long time (like in an exam) and I get the feeling that the 'stuff' just pools up inside and suddenly you stand up, the 'stuff' just suddenly flows out and its so awkward to be walking and 'pee-ing' at the same time. The last time I remember doing something remotely like that was when I was still in diapers, which is some 15-16 years ago. =//

I think some of my classmates can tell somethings wrong with me when I walk around with a pained expression on my face. Now you know. Now you know...

Really alright. I had some unfortunate instances whereby Im out shopping with Aimi and suay suay GOT MY PERIOD while happily looking a clothes. Then Ive got to leave and hunt around for the nearest loo, waddling like a duck whos been stuffed with stuffing up its bum and still alive. Its uncomfortable yes. Its one of those moments your whole world lights up into fireworks when you see the toilet sign.

And then theres the cramps. I dont know about other chicks (here I go, a big fat golden roast chicken just popped up in my mind.) but I get excruciatingly painful cramps. Once I woke up in so much frikkin pain in my lower abs that I pretty much stayed in bed the entire day. 3 days of bloody hell.

Oh and when ones got the period, at night, you got to sleep in certain positions. For me I sleep on my side, tossing over every so often in the middle of the night like a piece of meat on a rotiserrie. Its so uncomfortable if you stay in one position too long cos in the morning cos when I get up I feel lopsided/crooked. But what to do? Its all in the name of preventing ones bedsheet getting new decorations and patterns in the morning....

This leads me on to wonder.
Why the hell do periods have to start so early? Its not like we are going to have kids or start a family in our teens. If God says no sex before marriage and Im sure the majority of the world marries after 21, I say periods should start at 21 or so.

Its like giving me a roast chicken for dinner and saying I cant eat it. Look see look see only. No touch....

Apparently a healthier and more refined lifestyle these days is a major contributor to some girls even starting menstruating at 8, 9 or 10 years old. I say if thats the case, does that mean if I had been eating badly all my life so far I would start my periods late? Those chicks (..and again..this time a yummy Hainanese steamed chicken.) who start late should be damn grateful and stop writing in to teen magazine columns asking why theirs hasnt come yet.

On the lighter side, periods are great things to use as excuses.

For example, if one does not want to attend PE classes, one can always tell the teacher she has her period and vigorous activity will cause her to leak (and I only have one spare pad!) and bring about the onset of cramps ... yadda yadda yadda...

I once knew a girl in my PE class, she used this excuse twice a month, forgetting she had already used it before. BAHAHAHAHA. teacher obviously didnt believe her from then on LOL! bodoh...

Even in T.E.E , period cramps are considered a valid excuse! OMG. But then again, who would sacrifice a chance at uni over a fake period? KNS.

Disclaimer: Use of the above situations and excuses is at your own risk. Reena-ism.blogspot.com does not encourage lying. I for one has never used my period as a lie/excuse. Thats abuse of Mother Nature.

BTW, I think my mums going through Menopause. Everyday confirm chop stamp gerungtee got Hurricane run through this household.





Want to vent also dont vent on me...I still need my sanity... =((

Anyway. Its 4.30am and here I am blogging about periods. I really am bo liao. But I get inspirations in the middle of the night. I think thats why during school days I dont blog as much cos during the night, Im sleeping...

School starts next Wednesday! OMG Year 12! Leavers Jumpers! School Ball! Exams! T.E.E! Being the dua kia of the school! (this one I like!) =// graduating year for those in Singapore and dont know. Expect less blogging cos I be mugging my way to the top to be Perths Brightest Student. Or so I hope la.. =))





Who knows, you know, I might be a God-given genius for all you know...




Aiyah. sleep sleep sleep for me!
