I do lose weight after following the seven-day meal plan I’ve shared last month in my other blog-Tasty Exploration.  I’ve lost only a kilogram :smile: , it’s not much but at least I shed off some weight after a month. I’ve shared to you last time that I drink Fitne tea to have a regular bowel movement  and soft stool because I’m preventing hemorrhoid to happen to me. This tea is not only a laxative herbal tea but also an effective slimming tea so I noticed that my school pants are not tight anymore :thumbsup: . How I wish I could have a flat tummy few days from now. I think every lady dream of it.

Did you know that peppermint tea claimed to be the ultimate tummy flattening drink? You just need to brew up a glass of peppermint tea and squeeze the juice of half a lemon into it. The peppermint eliminates gas in stomach while the lemon wakes up the muscles in your tummy to work harder at staying flat. The next time I’ll buy a tea, I’ll look for peppermint. I think this will be a cheaper way to attain flatter tummy than to buy thermogenic fat burners sold in the market.

   Girls Talk- I Love my Body

I used to take propan vitamins to stimulate my appetite and gain weight because I’m so skinny . I wanna get some flesh on my cheekbones :smile: , arms and legs. Today I don’t need appetite stimulant. Instead, I’m looking for an appetite suppressant :warning: to gain back my weight and figure :haha: . I’m still working on it so here’s my latest me :

I asked my hubby what’s the physical aspect of mine that he got attracted when he first saw me in high school. He told me that I look so innocent and my  facial skin is soooo flawless (that was before zits attacked my face :cry2: ). He also loves the way I carry my uniform :haha: . Maybe if I join a beauty contest, I’ll win the special award “Best in School Uniform” :lol: .

I just love being me. I just need to shed some weight. Gimme some time :smile: .

By the way, I wanna share a glimpse of how skinny I am before:

   Thinner me

After reading Tyra Banks’ story on how successful she was on gaining her weight back, I was fascinated and inspired to lose weight. I’ve been motivating myself since this morning that if celebrities can do it, why can’t I :smile: ? I don’t have TV show to host but I always have class shows- acting, singing and dancing in front of my 3-year-old learners, I don’t have fans but I have co-teachers who are honest enough to tell me I’m fat already (I already know so please don’t rub it on me :angry: ) and I have a loving hubby who reminded me how slim and sleek I am before :love: .  These are enough inspirations to me to gain back my weight and curves :thumbsup: .

Before I finished reading some articles at hcgdiet.net, let me show you the edited photo of mine which always encourage me never to give up on my diet and exercise. This is how I look like if I’ll get thinner:

It’s my goal to slim down my fat arms! If I’ll be diligent enough in my weight loss approach, I will eventually slim down my arms :tongue: .

   We can prevent hemorrhoid
July 2, 2010, Friday at 11:51 pm    2 comments

When I’m in Philippines, I always heard from others that too much spicy food causes hemorrhoid (almoranas in our dialect) – refers to a condition in which the veins around the anus or lower rectum are swollen and inflamed. Eating too much spicy food here in Thailand will sometimes lead to a burning sensation once you defecate but I don’t think so that it will cause hemorrhoid. Hemorrhoids can develop from any increase in pressure in the veins in the lower rectum. Common sources of pressure include constipation and the accompanying extra straining, diarrhea and the continuous expulsion of loose stools, sitting or standing for a long time (teachers beware :warning: ), obesity, heavy lifting, pregnancy and childbirth.

After giving birth to Hyzyd through normal delivery, I noticed that during bowel movement my bottom hurts even it’s not really hard stools. I’m suspecting that maybe I have hemorrhoids but my Oby-Gyne assured me that there isn’t . Maybe it was just strained when I push so hard while giving birth to Hyzyd and there were lacerations that we’re irritated. In order not to suffer during bowel movement, I see to it that I increase fiber in my diet to soften my stool and I drink Fitne tea before going to bed . Fitne tea is very popular in Thailand as a diet or weight loss drink, and is primarily used by Thai Muay Thai kickboxers who are trying to drop some weight and Thai women who are trying to do the same. The tea supposedly contains a natural herbal ingredient that makes you lose weight. It’s also advertised that regular consumption promotes a slimmer healthier figure and a better functioning digestive system. In reality though, it’s nothing more than an herbal laxative. It helps me have soft stool.

Because I suspected before that maybe I have hemorrhoids, I searched for best hemorrhoids treatment online. Some suggested tub baths several times a day in plain, warm water for about 10 minutes and others are application of a hemorrhoidal cream or suppository to the affected area for a limited time. Doctors will often recommend increasing fiber and fluids in the diet. Eating the right amount of fiber and drinking six to eight glasses of fluid—not alcohol—result in softer, bulkier stools. A softer stool makes emptying the bowels easier and lessens the pressure on hemorrhoids caused by straining. Eliminating straining also helps prevent the hemorrhoids from protruding.

It’s better to prevent hemorrhoids than curing it. The best way to prevent hemorrhoids is to keep stools soft so they pass easily, thus decreasing pressure and straining, and to empty bowels as soon as possible after the urge occurs. Exercise, including walking, and increased fiber in the diet help reduce constipation and straining by producing stools that are softer and easier to pass.






   Bedroon curtains or wood blinds?

I’m quite busy these days with all the packing and plans in moving to our new rented place. I’m so excited to decorate our master’s bedroom. It has 4 windows and I’m not quite sure if I will use curtain or wood blinds. Bedroom curtains can give a glamorous and comfortable look to your bedroom interior design. They keep away the sunlight to let into your bedroom and also give you privacy from outside. I have to check first the length and width of the bedroom windows and doors. I still couldn’t decide if I want hang bedroom curtains to cover the windows completely or just before the floor :question2: .

On the other hand, wood blinds are durable, easy to clean, and provide a warm and natural look that other window blinds can’t match. They’re are elegant and add warm to a home’s decor. I will still have to look for a shop that sells affordable wood blinds with excellent quality.

How about you? Which is best for our bedroom windows- curtain or wood blind? Your suggestion is highly anticipated and will surely be appreciated :kiss: .






   Any thoughts on Bereavement Fares for Imminent Death?
June 29, 2010, Tuesday at 3:59 am    1 comment

In celebration of the 15th President of the Philippines , Cebu Pacific offers Seat Sale that starts now until June 30, 2010 for travel from October 1 to November 30, 2010. Imagine, International destinations for only P1,500 and domestic flight for only P15; more than 150,000 seats up for grabs! But when I checked, the promo fare is already sold out :cry: . I just wish another promo will be available in the coming days.

How I wish my co-teacher got the promo because he badly needed to go back to Philippines. He just filed a travel emergency recently because he needs to see a terminally-ill grandma who’s always looking for him. I wonder if the airline who just have an airfare promo offers Bereavement Fares for Imminent Death. To qualify he just need to provide the following information to the airline:
* The name of the person who is ill
* his relationship to that person
* The name, address and phone number of the hospital or health care facility
* The name and phone number of the attending physician

Actually, it’s my first time to know about this kind of airfare. I just happen to know about this when I’m searching for cheap flights to Philippines via Bangkok. I will tell my co-teacher to ask for a Bereavement Fares for Imminent Death tomorrow. I hope it can be of any help to him.






   If I"ll be 16 again…

What I missed about high school life are my friends, our happy-go-lucky lifestyle and prom dresses ! As early as this time, we’re already planning where to buy and what style of prom dresses we would love to wear during our JS Prom. Internet was so remote in our place at that time so what we did, we bought magazine featuring prom dresses.  We chose a design, bought cloth and let our seamstress sew a gown that fit us. When I’m in 3rd year high school, we could wear any formal dresses with the shade of pink color. In 4th year, we wore formal dresses with blue shade.

Last year I was supposed to buy prom dresses for my Junior sisters. I was shocked when they told me that there’s no need for them to wear prom dresses because in government school, they’re only required to wear their school uniform! I’m sad for them because they’re not to able to wear the cute prom dresses I saw in Promgirl.net. They have the perfect formal dress that are essential part of their memorable event. In this site you could also choose prom dresses designed by popular designer or if you’re in budget you could buy dresses in less than $100. They have a full line of modest prom dresses, inxpensive dresses and cheap prom dresses at afordable prices.

Today, I visited promgirl.net again and fell in love with the prom dresses 2011 collection. If only I’ll be sixteen again, I gonna choose this Jovani Prom Dress 8629!

prom dress

Anyone who will wear this dress will feel like a true princess! The blue animal print looks so cool. I love how this sophisticated gown has a tulle ballgown skirt. The embellished bodice were such a darling. The black sash and bow complete this gorgeous look, isn’t it? How would it feel when all eyes will be on me with this Jovani dress :haha:!

I just hope that promgirl.net will continue to sell trendy and fashionable dresses by events like ,cocktail dresses, formal dresses, ball gowns, party dresses , graduation dresses, prom dresses and homecoming dresses even in the coming decades because when I need a special dress for my future daughter, I know where to turn to :smile: .






   Beautify your used car with chrome accessories
June 25, 2010, Friday at 12:45 pm    0 comment

We are saving to buy our first family car. My hubby told me that we could purchase a cheap but with excellent quality used car and let the chrome accessories  do the wonder of upgrading its custom look – a classy , shiny and expensive look. It’s like what he did to our motorcycle. It’s already a used motorcycle when we bought it but hubby bought new motorcycle accessories, including chrome. It really helps on adding personal style to our motorcycle and it looks brand new. I believed that once we’ll have our car, hubby won’t stop beautifying it with chrome accessories. Chrome Trim Parts are quite affordable , anyone can afford to pay $60 for a nice Door Handle Covers or Mirror Covers, right?  It’s worth it.

I’ve noticed that car owners that value a clean, shiny look are increasingly turning to chrome. Chrome is a blue-white metal with a bright, shiny luster that is commonly used to plate other, less-expensive metals for wear resistance and a metallic finish. It is popularly used on car parts such as bumpers, wheel spokes and body trim, as well as in the home for frying pans, small appliances and fixtures.

Let’s just wait and see how everything turns out once we’ll have the used car.

By the way , if you want to order automotive accessories at the comfort of your chair, visit CARID.com. CARiD.com is the online automotive accessories superstore, based in Edison, NJ. The company has been in custom and OEM car accessories business since 2003 offering its customers automotive products for both interior and exterior custom styling, performance and comfort.
