Blog#2: Calamansi Diet

Returning back your figure after giving birth is not easy as 1,2 and 3. So, I decided to search for an exercise routine na pwede ko gawin everyday but the challenge are (yes, “are!”) would it be safe for me na 3months ago pa lang nanganganak and breastfeeding?! Basically, OB-Gyne is allowing you to exercise ng very very light 6weeks after giving birth or upon go signal nila, ngayon my problem is, to be honest, hindi na ko nakabalik kay OB for a follow-up check-up and ayoko naman biglang mag-jump sa isang exercise routine na pwede ko ikapahamak (better safe than sorry). I feel na I can go hard to very extreme exercise na pwede ko gayahin sa Youtube kaya lang dangerous sa part ko kaya sabi ko NEXT! Mas mahirap mag-close uli ng bukas na opera.

So, upon knowing this “secret drink” of Brod Bo Sanchez, I tried it ASAP since malapit na ang binyag and birthday ng mga anak ko. Regarding breastfeeding while in Calamansi Diet wala naman harmful effect because only protein occasionally passed thru milk but not acid and you can eat/drink calamansi as many as you want tingnan mo lang if may allergic reaction si baby, if there’s just stop.

So what I do is I have to drink 24pcs of Calamansi Juice only (No water, mas magiging acidic sya if may halong water) 1 hour before breakfast and make sure you gargle afterwards para hindi masira ang inyong teeth. Of course, masyadong maasim at nakaka-overwhelmed naman ang 24pcs na calamansi agad-agad so you have to take/do the following steps para hindi ka mabigla.

Day 1: Drink only 4pcs Calamansi

Day 2: Drink 8pcs Calamansi

Day 3: Drink 12pcs. Calamansi

Day 4: Drink 16pcs. Calamansi

Day 5: Drink 20pcs. Calamansi

Hanggang umabot ng 24pcs sa Day 6..

You can maintain 20pcs after maging 24pcs. ang mainom daily.

So, here’s the verdict:
1. How Much?
-Ranging from 10 to 15php ang 1/4 kilo ng Calamansi depende sa season. So, daily gagastos ka ng roughly 10php.
2. What I feel?
-Served as suppressant. Andun pa rin yung gana mo kumain pero hindi ka nag-ooverfeed unlike nung hindi ako umiinom ng Calamansi.
-Laxative. Palagi ako umuutot (Excuse Me) at nag rerelease talaga sya ng gas throughout the day.
3. Effect while Breastfeeding?
-Wala naman. Same pa din amount ng milk ko.
4. Effect kay Baby?
-Wala din. Hindi naman sya mukhang naiirita.

Over-all rating?
Very good. Affordable and very easy to prepare.

Also, you can do this after ma-juice ang Calamansi medyo stingy at madulas ang feeling pero kapag na-wash nyo na feeling very clean (literally) and smooth ang skin. Let me know if gusto nyo ng different blog para sa Calamansi Bathed na ginagawa ko. Here’s the picture.

I have to be atleast fit bago ang big day, syempre we need to beautify ourselves kahit mom na tayo. Let me know kapag na-try nyo na and share it with me. if may mga questions just feel free to ask. Also, i forgot to mention mas maganda if you weigh nyo muna sarili nyo bago gawin yung diet, let’s see if it is working. As for me, wala akong weighing scale pero i-post ko ASAP kung ano weight ko para malaman natin if effective. So that’s it. Until my next MomsJourney. God Bless!

Blog#1: Binyag 101 – Church

Hi!

This is my first time to Blog. Please bear with me mga bloggers, friends and countrymen. 🙂

I will start of my blog looking for the nearest church in our place for my daughter Janel Ashwen Christening. Ang pinaka-malapit na church sa amin ay Pasig Church at Montefalco Church. I turned down ang Pasig Church because walang malapit na fine dining sa area more on fast foods like McDonalds, Jollibee, KFC, Pizza Hut (okay sana kaya lang maliit ang place) while Montefalco naman trying to contact their phone numbers pero walang sumasagot. I think that time (May) on renovation sila baka sira ang mga lines at may malapit na Shakey’s sa area which is yun talaga ang target ko na venue but unfortunately hindi ko ma-contact.

So started all over again, searching and calling. Eyeing naman ako sa church near sa mga malls ofcourse convenient, easy access & no need for bla-bla’s sa directions . Top on my list is the Megamall Chapel and Edsa Shrine. Unfortunately, Megamall chapel doesn’t cater any service like wedding, baptismal etc.. So moving on, my last on my list is Edsa Shrine. I called their office and wow.. Donation lang ang fee para sa binyag all they need is: Local/NSO Xerox copy of Birth Certificate, Xerox copy of Marriage Cert (if married) *Bring the orig.cert for validation*. Three babies lang ang I-accommodate nilang binyagan sa scheduled date (relief) at least hindi magulo unlike sa maramihan. No special/solo baptism. You and your partner must attend one Saturday seminar from 8am to 12noon (kids is strictly not allowed) before the date of your scheduled baptism which will be held at 2nd floor of the area (yes, you are so near sa statue ni Our Lady of Peace). Be punctual. They’re not entertaining late comers.

Rules to remember (strict):
1. Baby dress code should be all white with cap.
2. Parents, GodParents and Family should wear decent attire. (No shorts, slippers, body fit and revealing clothes) – strict! If wearing dress, it should be below the knee.
3. Kids must always be accompanied with adults. No loitering.
4. Be punctual.
5. Respond promptly. Be loud and clear. (Wag dedmahin si father kasi kayo-kayo lang ang andun)
6. Picture taking is okay but you must assign 1 photographer only.
7. Bring 1 white large candle only.

I do my ocular inspection with the church. At first, I thought na sa main chapel ang baptism area yun pala may small venue sila which is sa side lang naman ng church. Here’s the picture that I got.

Serviam Hall (2ndF Seminar Venue)

When I zoomed this picture akala ko may mata (scary) pin light lang pala.

The Fountain, feels like super sacred because may direct light coming from outside feeling ko may bababa na anghel pag bubuhusan ng Holy Water si baby. Can’t wait to experience it.

The baptism area, thinking if kasya kaming lahat dito if Tatlong babies I-accommodate. Sa family and godparents ko pa lang. Ngek. Let’s see.

Also update na rin from seminar my husband tell me na possible daw mag-change yung venue kaya dapat daw talaga maging punctual atleast 30mins before the scheduled time andun ka na pwede kasi na I think lang Sa Servian hall gawin yung Baptism. Hindi ako nakapunta ng seminar, they excuse me kasi I’m breastfeeding my baby and I don’t have stash of milk kaya they forgive me na si hubby nalang ang umattend.

According to hubby, maganda ang lecture ng seminar. Hindi lang daw ito tungkol sa binyag it’s also counsel din sa mag-asawa. Sayang! Nakita ko sana ang reaction ni hubby kung pano tatagos sa puso nya ang buhay may pamilya. :)) looking forward pa naman ako sa ganung klaseng seminar.

So that’s it. I hope nakatulong sa inyo ang aking blog. Please follow me for my next MomsJourney. God Bless!
