Gluten is bad for my digestive. But I love gluten foods; bread, cake, noodles. And last week, I was in gluten feast, from cake, noodle, pasta, bread, pizza til martabak. From birthday buffet feast to regular dinner, I'm just gonna say "cheat week" or in my case "gluten week". Gluten Guilty made me constipated like crazy, two days with no poo made me bloated. I weight myself and it went to dangerous area. And after all those guilty conscious, I turn myself to Kinohimitsu D'tox Juice (don't know why they use D'tox instead of Detox word). It's not my first time bought these, I think it's my third time. Don't drink these if you want to lose weight, it won't work. The drink mainly use are to improve digestive and soften the mucoid plaque. And my main goal is to remove those mucoid plaque. (Sorry. Gross words are coming.) If you wikipedia 'mucoid plaque', it is a term used by some alternative medicine advocates to describe a combination of allegedly harmful mucus-like material and food residue that they say coats the gastrointestinal tract of most people. In simple term, mucoid plaque is the unfinished poo business left in your colon and couldn't get off your system because it was stuck. Have you ever flush and the poo keep stuck in your toilet wall? Have you ever think if it could also stuck in your colon? People generally have 3 - 12 kg of mucoid plaque in their body. And i think the reason of my bloating because those unfinished business. I mean, I ate buffet until full like crazy and eat a lot of cakes, but my morning business after 2 days constipated was unsatisfied. So I choose to use Kinohimitsu to help me. Even-though in box they said to drink it 6 days in a row for detox, I choose to bought a box consist 3 bottles. I drink it every night before sleep. The box said it will take 2-4 hours to flush out the toxic (or going to the bathroom), but it didn't disturb my sleep. I woke up in the morning and went straight to the toilet. And for the rest of the day, I felt my stomach keep growling (not hungry) but maybe because of bowel movement, on day one, I ended up going for the second time in the evening. That means it's work, because my regular business time is once in the morning. I eat normally I do. Beside that, there were some unwanted gas released. Review
It's my third time, and I think these time it's working wonderfully. I remember on my second time I did these for full 6 days, I just felt it worked on day 1, and the rest of day 2 - 6, I just felt normal. Never hope to lose the weight after drink Kinohimitsu, because you will disappointed. It might get rid some of those called mucoid plaque, but you might not lose all 3.5 kg of mucoid plague in one try. If you do, good for you. I will do it once a year, or maybe next month after holiday. I think they work best at day one, since your body not used to get detox juice in the system. On day two, my stomach keep making noise for bowel movement but no evening business. On day three, they back to normal. Even-though I didn't drink the fourth bottle, I think it release a lot of unfinished business on day four. FYI, I bought mine in regular drug store for IDR 152.000,-, about IDR 50.000 per bottle, same amount money to buy McDonalds meal package. Note : I don't know the best place to put these but I think I put it in my homepage, instead of Entertainment page.

It was my birthday on Saturday and now I'm 29 years young. Each of us have birthday tradition or something we love to do every year, it become tradition. It can come from family, friends or just you. In our family, every birthday we eat Yellow Rice or Nasi Kuning, it's traditional fragrance rice cooked with coconut milk and turmeric, make yellow colored rice. Another must eat food in your birthday in our family or every asian families is Noodle, especially Fried Noodle. It's simple, you eat noodles as a wish in your birthday to have long life and health. So, make sure it was long noodles not short noodles. One thing that I love most every birthday is CAKE. I can still remember when I was kid, I went to local bakery to order what I want for my birthday cake then, it was butter-cream cake with dancing balerina figures on top, or another year, I want simple black forest cake. I said to my mother 9th birthday, it will be the last time I have cake in my birthday. You know what, I never stop. I love having cake on my birthday, I buy it once on my own (and people think it was so sad). And for my 29th birthday, I got a chocolate cake from my sister in law and I made it one myself, Confetti Birthday Cake, recipe from Christina Tossi of Milk Bar. I always want to eat one since saw it on Masterchef US Season 6, and I made one to cross my bucket list before 30. My 2nd brother gave me a recipe book, The Italian Baker. Maybe later on his birthday, I made one of the recipe for him and exchange book for gift. We are kind of book lover.
I knew every year I was kind of hope a surprise from my friends, but maybe as I was getting older, I stop expect them to surprise me. Just celebrate with my best friends. In the evening, I invite my girls to attend wedding with me. The one that got invited was actually my father, but lately he doesn't feel to attend wedding anymore, just let me go instead of him. Even-though he was joking about me attending wedding, so I could held wedding as soon as possible too. But I know he want me too. Do you have birthday tradition? Not that I'm getting married, but these topic was the highlight of my conversation with my friend yesterday. I was introduced to my friend's cousin whose wedding just got canceled. His supposed wedding would be held on November. He didn't give me all the details, but with the talk yesterday, I got clue there were problem with the wedding preparation. Wedding preparation is the first "soon to be married" couple had to faced as two families merged as one. I have my own share with my own two brother's stories or my friend's. There were challenges, because no two families are the same. And the important and sensitive one is budget. In Indonesia, usually the parents are the one spending money for their children's wedding. I know, some couple that pay their own wedding, but that just a few. Because the parents are the one spending millions rupiah for a wedding, they will somehow control it. It's not 100% bride and groom's decisions anymore, and two parents or four people with the couple, it could be a mess. Wedding Budget Who will paid the wedding? Fully paid by the groom's family or half-and-half? Or according to the quantity of the guests? If you want to invite 200 guests, while the other side want a bigger numbers, so you just paid for 200 guests meals. How much money your parents willing to spend? Put on the budget. Many parents are so excited that their child is getting married, and talking nonsense budget, But when the time they actually need to pay it, some people might consider. Wedding is expensive. My first brother's wedding was paid 100% by my side family. So, the decision were made by my father and my brother; what venue, how many invitation, etc. While the bride can still choose the dress, make up artist but still on the budget that fit. While my second brother's wedding was different, since his in-law want a mega wedding, my father actually just tell the truth how much money he's willing to spend, if the in-law still want a mega wedding, please paid the rest. It's the truth and they accepted it. Two Celebrations You might marry someone who came from other city, and it might need two celebrations or two wedding parties to be held, so the parents's acquaintances on each city could come and witness. Remember, it might be your wedding, but it's your parent's party since they paid for it. Talk to both parents how they want to do it. Where they holy matrimony will be held, because it's one time only. And next, which city first. You could have one engagement party in one city, then holy matrimony and wedding party in other city. Some people also choose to have holy matrimony and wedding party in one city, and do it again in other city. Or just choose one, you need to transport the one whole family to other city. It's about compromise. You might have to ask your family if they're willing to travel, it's another consideration. Told you, two families merger as one could be mess. Budget could be considerations. When two wedding celebrations are held, automatically each will take responsibility for each city's celebrations. Wedding Ang Bao
You have your beautiful wedding, and the next sensitive money stuff you need to face is dividing wedding Ang Bao. The basic principle is who paid the wedding will get the Ang Bao. It might break-even in some case, you get back how much you spend for the wedding, or maybe 80% , or just slightly 25%. It's different in each case. But don't ever expect to break-even, you will disappointed. Some parents will give all the money to bride and groom as stater of the marriage's life. Some will use it to pay for the honeymoon. And most of them, just take it back. If you paid half and half, just write each guest's Ang Bao's value (that's why it's important to give number to each envelope) and give it back to whose guest is it. To be fair, whoever guests give it directly to bride and groom, it's their right, usually the family relatives will give it directly to bride and groom as a wish of prosperity marriage. |
