VALERIE ‘BANGS’ GARCIA MAY MGA PAGHIHIRAP NA PINAGDAANAN

KARAMIHAN sa mga mommy ay nahihirapang i-shed off ang kanilang excess poundage right after their pregnancy.

Ito ang nasa isip ni Valerie “Bangs” Garcia nang mabuntis siya last year.

Bangs and her husband Lloydie Birchmore welcomed their baby Amelia last December 5.

Anyway, Bangs has always maintained an active and healthy lifestyle, the very reason why she didn’t have a hard time letting go or shedding off, some excess poundage.

On Instagram posted last Saturday, August 11, Bangs showed her svelte body in a matter of seven months. Na-impress, naturally, ang kanyang In-stagram followers.

Sabi ni Bangs sa kanyang Instagram account, nagsimula raw siyang mag-work out at least a few months before her pregnancy. Nakatulong din ang healthy diet, pagsusuot niya ng high-waisted panty for about 2-3 months.

“When I was young, I used to hear that when a woman bears a child at 30 years & older, she cannot get back her pre-pregnancy body anymore.

That’s why my ideal age to get married was about 25 or 26, so I’d have enough time to bear children before I turn 30.

But instead, I got married at 29, got pregnant at 30, now, I am 31 with an 8-month old baby; I strongly disagree that a woman can’t get back into shape at this age!

It may not be exactly as it used to be, but it is possible. Perhaps, with perseverance you could even be in a better shape than before.”

Bangs also recalled some of her most challenging fitness routines before getting pregnant.

Sinabi raw ng kanyang doktor sa Pinas na hindi raw siya aware na inihanda na niya ang kanyang katawan for the demands of pregnancy long before she became pregnant. “I used to workout really hard from 2014-2015, perhaps, too hard that I used to cry in the shower after my trainings thinking, ‘What have I gotten myself into?!’, Lol!

“I ne­ver wanted to show my trainer any signs of weakness, I was determined to complete my sessions to improve my endurance, discipline; and basically, every aspect of my health inside out.”

MAG-INGAT SA MGA DUMI SA ATING KAPALIGIRAN

HAY, naku! baha na naman. Halos araw-araw yata ay ‘di tumitigil ang pagpatak ng ulan na pinuproblema ng mga kababa­yan natin.

Hayan nga at si Kapitana Angelica dela Cruz ay namomroblema sa nasasakupan niyang Longos, Malabon dahil sa mababa ang lugar na ‘yun kaya palaging binabaha.

Kahit ang kaibigan na­ting si kagawad Jimi Escala ay apektado rin ang nasasakupan sa Tondo, Manila.

Paano kasi kapabayaan diumano ito ng nakaraang administrasyon kung saan matatandaang hinayaan na lang malusaw sa paligid ng CAMANAVA area ang mga basura ng bansang Canada.

Yuck!

Anyway, marami ang humahanga sa Prime Minister Justin Trudeau na maliban sa pagiging radio host at good speaker ay isa ring aktor sa mga historical movie tulad ng The Great War in the year 2007.

And with that, ito po ang Kuya Pete ninyo na nagsasabing, Christopher, my son, I love you very, very much, my love for goes beyond eternity.

Adios. Mabalos. I always need you, Nhong!
