Singapore Mommies (part 9)

[marsh_candy]

marsh_candy, hello! ano nga ulit name mo? i remember ikaw nag tip sakin on inch loss di ba? on the lookout ako dun sa lotion.. scrub itong nabili ko..

hi sis pia.. mars! ah uu inch loss naalala ko yun hehe.. minsanan ko lang ginagamit dahil takot naman ako, ttc pa naman kami hehe.. pagfeel ko bumabalik, ginagamit ko. Mahilig kasi ako sa matatamis, chocolates eh hehe

may nabasa naman ako sa cozycot, brewed wu mei+dark plum+ginger, pangdetoxify especially for indigestion, ang panget ng lasa siguro nasobrahan at di sanay.. kahit ano na lang eh noh? hehe

[yapeegurl]

Mars, korek! kahit ano na lang.. lol itong officemate ko naman, orange daw as breakfast.. in fairness laki ng pinayat! di ito naggy-gym ha.. ewan ko lang kung trueness na orange lang ang secret.. baka hindi pa nya nirereveal lahat honey+vinegar ang alternate ko sa mga days na di ako nakakapag gym.. 2 weeks ng wala

[marsh_candy]

ay talaga.. di ba nangasim sikmura nya?hehe.. nung bagong labas nga ng leisure 18, nagpabili kagad ako from pinas hihi.. pero grabe pumayat ako dun pero ang hapdi ng sikmura ko kasi ayoko kumain nun haha.. may history pa naman ako ng gastritis. tinigilan ko.

Now, balik fresh fruit juice ako sa umaga, yun kasi effective sa kin nun.. yung mga friends ko kasi tinigilan na dance class ng MART (pinoy dancers) kasi busy-busyhan na daw sila masaya pa naman sana. kaya heto, parang gusto ko nga sumali sa marathon2 na yan para pwersahan na pumayat 

[Grayce]

^uy ano yung wu mei? pampapayat? SHARE!

[yapeegurl]

gamot ba yung wu mei? nadala ako sa Fashion Slimming coffee.. nagpalpitate ako ng bongga at nahihilo ako.. di ko alam anong klaseng activity ang tinarget sa katawan ko.. susubukan ko iyang orange therapy for the next 2 weeks.. tignan ko kung ano effect sakin.. pag wala, ibabato ko sa officemate ko.. haha.. (lalake ang aking officemate na nagdidiet.. )

[marsh_candy]

wu mei is a chinese name for dark plum hehe.. naseacrh ko lang naman.. nabili ko sa chinese store sa mall. Pero nung tinanong ko si Auntie, sabi ko kung may wu mei sila.. hayun binigay sa kin accdg sa picture ng dark plum.. Nakuha ko yan sa cozycot forum, chinese doctor nagprescribe sa kanya para luminis system lalo na digestive sytem natin.

Pano yung orange sis? as in orange lang? mahilig din naman ako sa orange pero with complete meals hehe

[kayesl]

uy gusto ko ang usapan - DIETING. hehe. madalas naman na ako mag-gym pero hindi bumababa weight ko.  im not watching my diet pero mas konti na kinakain ko kesa dati.  parang gusto ko try yang orange. hehe.

[Grayce]

^baka naggagain ka ng muscles OR plateau phase. Try mo mag high intensity interval training you need to put your body in anaerobic phase to continuously burn those nasty fats even after working out

[Grayce]

speaking of vinegar...

pia, ginagawa ko rin yan. but mine's 1 lemon + 3tbsp dark honey + apple cider vinegar (braggs). i've been doing this for almost 3yrs na

mommies may baby expo this weekend. starting friday ata kung d ako nagkakamali

[yapeegurl]

Mars, pang detoxify pala.. malaking factor ata iyan for slimming ano? saang mall mo nabili yan? tatanong ko din dun sa chinese sa baba na may-ari ng Organic Store.

Yung orange, first food na kakainin mo pag gising mo.. breakfast mo ito.. next intake mo lunch na.. water lang or oatmeal in between.. yan daw secret nya.

Grayce, BI ka talaga sa sale! hahaha.. meron pa nga ako apple cider vinegar dito.. pero mas nagustuhan ko yung Wild Honey Vinegar kasi mix na sya.. di ko na kelangan ng extra time to prepare the lemon/honey/vinegar which was initially recommended din.. pang pabilis ng metabolism di ba?

[marsh_candy]

@Pia, yes.. mas gagaan feeling mo pagnadetoxify ka.. nilalabas nya toxic waste, pati indigested food (kaya malaki ang tyan hehe) medyo di ko lang type ang lasa hehe uu meron kahit saan yan.

[keiji]

I noticed lang dun sa mga kakilala ko na may tendency mag gain ng weight eh mahilig
sila sa sweets o kaya kumain ng biscuits or whatever in between. So I think dapat i-minimize
to para makatulong sa pagpapa-slim.

Yung friends ko na nag-slim down nag Atkin's diet, yun bang bawal sila mag-rice. Nag-work
din sa kanila yun.

[bluegintonic]

Help naman...baka may kakilala kayo na naghahanap ng part time work!I'm a very frazzled mommy na I need help with my baby..either to do house chores &/or baby sit my baby a few hours everyday...ayos na ba offer ako ng 500 - 600 SGD a month for about 4 hours daily (M-F lang)? Dapat stay out and holds her own pass...parang di kasi ako makahanap...I tried online, newspapers, etc...mahal kasi kapag ad hoc basis (12-15 SGD per hour yung mga nahahanap ko)...advices naman...thanks!

[keiji]

Sis Bluegintonic, sa $600 na rate parang ganun na rin halos ang payout ng stay-in maid. Konti na lang idadgdag mo. Anyways, ang kilala ko kasi ad hoc lang rin at $12 per hour. I just don't know kung payag sya ng special rate kung regular ang schedule like what you mentioned. If you want to try pa-pm na lang ako para mabigay ko details nya.

Wait ka rin baka may mai-share ang ibang mommies dito.

[kayesl]

bluegintonic: i hire a part time helper to do some cleaning or ironing every other week. pinay sya. ang bayad ko sa kanya usually $10/hr.
pero kung ganyan din lang ang budget mo, parang same na din ng rate kung kuha ka ng sarili mong FDW.

grayce: i-google ko muna yung mga term na binaggit mo ha. wala akong naintindihan. LOL 

[yapeegurl]

wow Lhans, free stay kayo!!! saya nun ah! sayang wala sa plan namin iyan.. uwi kami ng pinas ng May 26..

Ate Kaye, i got your mederma na

Mami viols, I got your Aveeno na din..

Bluegintonic, ang best bet natin dyan ay mga PR na dito na walang regular job.. pero sa tingin ko wala tayo makukuha nyan kasi usually working full time ang mga yaya.. ang part time nila ay hindi Mon-Fri..

Hello mommies! How are you spending school holidays and the GSS?

Aside from Daniel Yan, may alam pa ba kayo na shop na mabibilhan ng evening dress na pwedeng isuot sa wedding? Need to buy one for myself at gusto ko ring samantalahin na sale season ngayon.

Did you enrol your kids to any enrichment class this holiday?

Meron palang family night out ang Ufamily this June 18 sa Downtown East. Parang disco sya for kids.
If you're an ntuc member, $10 lang ang entrance for the whole family up to 5 members.

[Grayce]

^abang ka ng zara & mango sale if di naman urgent yung dress. the sale is about to start in a week or 2 na rin ata
