Life Update + Tokyo Trip

Hey Subbies,

As you can read from the title this is a little life update. Since I had some time off I can finally update you guys. Recently, I was able to find a job in my perspective field finally. However, I can't leave my old job because I have better benefits with my first job and other things tied to that job that my new job does not have on top of the pay is less than my first job however, I have more hours and opportunity to get over time. I pretty much have my hands-tied with my new job since it is thru the week and I had to cut my hours at my other job just enough to keep my benefits. In addition, I'm learning a new programs which is not the industry standard Adobe Suite and also learning how to do prints on different manufacturing materials. I'm pretty beat once I come home from work. This job is very much like the internship I had during my final semester of University so its very familiar yet it is a bit of a learning curve and immersive with a lot distractions from other coworkers in the office I have to really get use to. I bought some Starbucks coffee grounds to make my own coffee in the morning and thankfully, there is one across the street from my new job too and just received a Starbucks card for Christmas. However, I don't know about y'all but caffeine is not really helping sadly though. Anyways, I added some of the Tokyo Vlogs down below if anyone is interested in my trip also add a voice over so I hope you guys enjoy it. I need to still upload the last couple of videos to YT so if you want to subscribe you can. Lastly, I going to be doing my favorite/most played Kpop songs of 2018 so look out for that probably by Christmas or New Years.

The Poison You Give Me: The Dark Side of Implants

Hey Subbies,

I wanted to do this post before I started talking about my trip to Japan. But if want to see my vlogs they are on Youtube Channel and worked really hard to get them edited so please enjoy, like, subscribe and etc. 

I need to get this out so more women and this includes trans-females are aware. Last year or I guess in the last five years I've noticed that my favorite and top female Youtuber's were getting their Breast done and other procedures. As someone with naturally big boobs, I can totally understand why women would want them. At the same time playing devils advocated here, "Y'all ready for your back to hurt and more stretch marks lol." I know from both sides of the boob spectrum we got teased in that "damn if don't, damn if you do" manner. But when I was a teen I was telling my friends to just wait till have kids because you'll probably need to get them fixed again anyways. However, I was actually really concerned for friends that were considering getting them done. I was happy when they came out with the "Gummy bear implants" because during this time in the evolution of implants the silicone and saline implants were popping (rupturing) like pancakes making women sick.

Anyways, between 2012 to 2018, I saw a huge trend of women deciding to get them done. Mostly, saw well it started with Playmates [1][2]like Pamala Anderson, then bodybuilders in late 2000s then and now influencers. I know beauty is important especially in these types of careers but your health is more important. After seeing multiple consumer lawsuits pop up on TV from people rejecting all types of medical-grade devices and implants like Birth control like IUDs, bone-replacement devices, Dental and etc. All the while when people who received new organs are given on all types of medications to stop the organ from being rejected because it is seen as a foreign object in the body thus creating an autoimmune response. Now, what does this have to do with Breast Implants? If you haven't put two and two together then you will know that implants are a foreign object too. In addition, early this week YouTube recommended this video "The TRUTH about BREAST IMPLANTS - Breast Implant Illness (Before/ After Pics)" by  Karissa Pukas. Before I go on, FDA and The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services have really failed us again (petition paper). I really hope this reaches these influencers like IAMKARENO, Jackie Aina, Patricia Bright, Dulce Candy, Megan Bowen, Beautifymeeh, Sunnydaye, PeachyMilky, MsAaliyahJay, Robin Gallant, Nikki, Blakketter, Gigi Gorgeous, Nikita Dragun, Christen Dominique, Shaaanonxo, Abby Pollock... and anyone considering getting them. These women are amazing and hardworking and I would hate to see any of you be emotionally scarred because profit was held above your health. I need you guys to look up Breast Implant Illness a.k.a. BII or Silicone Implant Illness a.k.a. SII. I'm not saying these women are having issues but they really need to consider these findings which for me really make me mad because most women are never told them.

Women's Testimonials: [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]
Doctor's and other Testimonials: [TedTalk][*][1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]

What they don't tell about Breast Implants in General:

• This is a Major Surgery.
• Breast implants are NOT forever many only last up to 7-10 years
• Scar tissue forms around the implant as an autoimmune response and distorts the shape of the breast implant (capsular contracture - hardening of the breast)
• The capsule holding the implants may attach to ribs or major organs more common with under muscle implants.
• Breast pain
• Sagging
• Infections (Black Mold, Bacterial, Fungal, Viral) 
• Degradation and Discoloration of the implant itself
• Changes in the nipple and breast sensation, often temporary but there is still a risk for nerve damage.
• Implant leakage or rupture (silent rupture/leaks )
• More at risk for cancer (lymphoma or  BIA-ALCL).
• Add Mammograms/ MRI to your schedule, to check for leaks from the implants.
• You will probably need additional surgery before or after breast implants (removal).

and most plastic surgeons will not tell you that. (hold on, there is more...)

Silicone shell, Saline

Silicone

After watching multiple videos on the topic and there are Facebook pages (Website) full of women talking about their autoimmune symptoms that started showing up after years with the implants in their body. The doctors they asked to get them taken out essentially didn't believe them, the women were told they needed to seek therapy or "your young.. you have your whole life to live with those great boobs" or "look you'll have saggy breast if you take them out" or "you just had a kid you might be suffering postpartum depression" or "your immune system is all of the whack" there were more crazy responses but these are things women are told. These women also went and did a full physical and nothing came back. I remember watching this video from my favorite YouTubers SimonandMartina and Martina who struggle from an Invisible Illness or hidden disabilities. "Invisible disabilities are disabilities that are not immediately apparent, some people with visual or auditory disabilities who do not wear glasses or hearing aids, or who use discreet hearing aids, may not be obviously disabled.

Basically, breast implants may cause an invisible illness. You see almost all implants contain Silicone, Silica, Tin, Cadmium, Mercury, Arsenic, Formaldehyde, Talc, Platinum Salts, and an altogether total of 41 other know neurotoxin/carcinogens that slowly leak into the body, doing more harm than good. The irony is would you keep and drink water from inside your cars that been at 96° degree weather for 8 years? Many don't even know to ask for heavy metals or toxicity tests when they are trying to figure what's wrong with them (*Also, I would highly recommend getting a test for Autoimmune Illnesses when ur in the decision mood beforehand.)  Most doctors will just prescribe them pills but personally, I think pills will either mask the symptoms or make the body perform out the norm. These women even turned to natural paths who really tried to help these women but no dices.

So, what (ASIA) symptoms should you look for if you already have implants?

• Fibromyalgia
• (MS) Multiple sclerosis-like symptoms
• Lyme disease-like symptoms
• PCOS
• Alopecia/ Lupus
• Hypothyroidism
• IBS (Irritable bowel syndrome)
• Cancer

Basically...

• Intolerance to foods and beverages: Bloating, unable to digest solids, and heartburn/nausea
• Dryness
• Premature aging, Glassy eyes, Sunken eyes
• Breathing issues
• Chronic Pain (back, joints, hips...)
• Cognitive dysfunction (brain fog, memory loss)
• Stunted hair growth/ loss
• Incapacitating fatigue
• Burning bladder pain
• Low immunity
• Recurring infections
• Problems with my thyroid and adrenals.
• Can't get out of bed
• Numbness
• Dizziness/ Vertigo
• Headaches/ Migraines
• Inflammation
• Adult Acne
• Constipation/ Diarrhea
• Blurry Vision
• Insomnia
• Heart palpitations
• Skin Irritation /conditions: Redness, Rosacea, Hives, Rashes, Psoriasis, and Eczema
• Organ Failure
• Lumps or Tumors
• Chronic Sweating
• Strong Metallic body odor
• Fast weight gain or loss
• Hormonal Imbalance ( Depression and Anxiety)
• Fertility issues and possible miscarriage(s)

Basically, you feel like a 90-year-old. Now, I know why Angelina Jolie didn't opt for implants after her Mammaplasty/ lipectomy. If you do start having 8-10 for more than 3 months or more symptoms you need to get tested for heavy metal toxicity and/or get an MRI scan of your implants. But to be honest it's probably your implants. If and when you do decide to take them out you need to make sure to find the right doctor. The doctor should have experience in removing the implants and scar tissue (a complete capsulectomy also called a full En Bloc surgery). Many doctors will just pop another implant in so, make sure you have three top doctors in mind because the waitlist can be a long wait. It has been recommended to be put on the cancellation list to be bumped up on the explant list. And, if you got a fussy/textured implant between 2010-2015 you need to get those out ASAP. Here is a link to a list of doctors who specialize in explants.

What to look for after a successful surgery:

• Clearing of the eyes, Whiter Whites
• Brightening/lifting of the Skin
• Loss of Inflammation and Chronic pain 
• Depending on your age your boobs may return to what they were before the implants
• Loss/Gain back the pounds
• Regain energy levels
• Return of Dexterity / Flexibility

Most of the issues should lessen or go back to what they were before your getting the implants. Most women went all-natural diet specifically an Anti-Inflammatory / Candida Diet that helps to lessen the symptoms while they waited for their surgery dates. Also, you will have to drain the toxic fluids from your boobs so you may experience pain and discomfort after taking them out. If u have a Fear of Death which I heard a lot of women say they have had with breast implants please contact a Crisis hotline if you don't have anyone to talk too.

AFURI ramen is different from ramen you’ve had elsewhere. It’s lighter, refreshing—even a little delicate. We’re particular about all our ingredients—but there’s one ingredient in particular that makes AFURI ramen special. We make our signature ramen with yuzu, a small yellow citrus fruit native to Asia. We splash it in our fresh chicken broth and we garnish it on top, too. It adds a touch of freshness to our ramen and pairs perfectly with our broth and charcoal-grilled pork. We think of it as a thoughtful, refreshing update on everything that makes ramen so great.

“Tonkatsu,” or pork-cutlet in English, is a popular dish whose origins began in western restaurants in the Meiji Era more than 100 years ago. The popular cooking style of the time was to broil the meat with lard or butter.
Over time this changed to a deep-frying style similar to that of Tempura.

○ Kim's chestnut is made smaller than the one you will see often.
Why did it make it small?
For one thing, I want to eat many kinds.
We would like to have our customers enjoy many kinds of even a little.
And, on the other hand, this is more important than anything but it is also a device to eat delicious in the state of Atsu.
Before eating, if you remove the meat from the skewer, Atsuzu baked chicken begins to cool down rapidly.
In that case, if one skewer is made smaller, you can eat it in the state of azatsu without removing it from the skewer?
I thought so, it was the beginning of "small tea ceremony".
For small tea ceremony, big feelings of ○ money are included.
