10 Stomach Flattening Tips
1. Walk/jog for 30 minutes at least 3 times per week to boost your metabolism in order to burn that fat.
2. Eat a small handful of almonds (at least 6) every morning. Almonds are one of the healthiest snacks you can eat and the protein is good for burning fat.
3. Purchase a Pilates DVD and do the exercises at least 2-3 times per week. Pilates works on toning your entire body with concentration on your powerhouse (middle section) and will improve your flexibility.
4. Add fiber to your diet and cut down your intake of the bad carbs. Foods such as white bread, pastas, potatoes, and white rice should be limited. Eat brown rice and whole wheat bread instead. To get that needed fiber increase your intake of fresh fruits and vegetables (especially the leafy green ones).
5. Drink skim milk instead of whole milk. Keep your dairy intake at a minimum because these products often cause bloating and gas.
6. Perform proper crunches at least 3 times a week to train your abs. Avoid sit-ups because they really do very little to firm your stomach. Sit-ups work your hip flexors more than anything else.
7. Drink plenty of water. You should be drinking 6 to 8 glasses per day. Not only will it help fill you up so you eat less, but it aids in digestion.
8. Stop eating within 3 hours of bedtime. If you have to munch on something, eat a small portion of vegetables or fruit. Not eating late can make a huge difference.
9. Eat smaller meals more often instead of 2-3 big meals per day to keep from having that bloated look and feeling. Eating more meals actually kicks up your metabolism.
10. Take a break from healthy eating once in a while and treat yourself to your favorite dessert. If you completely deprive yourself of the foods you love you'll run the risk of going back to your bad eating habits. Moderation is the key.

Basic Crunch
1. Start out by lying on your back.
2. Place your hands crossed on your chest and lie flat on the floor with your knees bent. You should always bend your knees because it provides necessary support for your lower back.
Some people like to place their hands behind their head but this is not the ideal position because you can strain your neck. What happens is when you get tired you have a tendency to pull on your neck (rather than your abs) to complete the exercise.
3. Slowly raise yourself up using your abs while pressing your lower back to the floor. As you reach the top of the crunch slowly exhale. Then slowly lower your back down to the flow as you inhale.
4. Repeat this process 20 to 25 times and rest for about 90 seconds. Then perform 2-3 more sets of crunches with 90 second rests between each set and you're done for the day!
Remember, the key is not to do 500 crunches at a time. The reason is, after the first 20 or 30 reps, your body gets lethargic and you end up "cheating" and not getting the full effect of the exercise anyway.
Always do a small amount (20 to 25) controlled movements at a time. You should really feel your ab muscles working by the time you hit 20. If not, you're not working your stomach and abs the way you should. Remember to focus that movement right in your middle section.

about relationships
1. Are you exaggerating the negatives? For the next two months mark the good and bad days on your calendar to get a reality check.
2. Have you already left the marriage by emotionally withdrawing? Or by giving up all attempts to make the relationship better? If so, can you find a way to reengage?
3. Do you get so angry that you hit each other or throw things at least once a month? If the answer is yes, are you hanging on to a terrible relationship because you're afraid of being alone? Or because you're convinced it's the best you can do?
4. If you're frustrated because your husband won't change (you'd like him to be more forceful or manly, for example), is it really necessary that he does? Is there anything in your family history that may be driving your need to transform him? (Your father never stood up for you when you needed him.)
5. Have you been teaching your husband the wrong lessons by not challenging his hurtful behavior? (You don't say anything when he criticizes you in public. He never washes the dishes, so you just do them, resentfully.)
6. Do you have fun together? Even when things are tough, do you make jokes about it? (A good sign.) If not, can you make time in your marriage for more play?
7. Are there conflicts that you've avoided in the relationship? What do you fear would happen if you confronted them?
8. Do you simply need more time alone? A weekend on your own every so often to make the heart grow fonder?
9. Has something occurred—a death, a big birthday, a job loss—that's throwing off your relationship and needs to be addressed?
10. Have you done everything you possibly can to make this marriage work? Are you certain he has heard your complaints? Have you tried a marriage-education class or couples therapy? If he won't go to counseling, have you gone yourself to see how you might save the relationship?

Food Trips (Manila)
Galileo Enoteca & Deli
Italian wines adorn Galileo Enoteca's many shelves
Tucked in the heart of Mandaluyong City, Galileo Enoteca & Deli has long been considered as one of Manila's best kept secrets.
This restaurant is famous for its rustic ambiance, delicate cheeses, fine wines, and special cured meats, making it an ideal spot for couples who wish to have an authentic Italian experience without going out of the country.
For Valentine's Day, Galileo Enoteca offers a special menu for couples reasonably priced at P1,200 (or P600 each). Lovers get to choose one appetizer, two main courses, and two glasses of wine. Cakes and desserts are also available.
It has even thrown in a Valentine's day menu for those who opt to celebrate with their families. At P350 per head (for a group of at least five people), guests get to enjoy a 5-course Italian meal.
Galileo Enoteca & Deli is located at Number 80 Calbayog Street corner Malinao Street, Mandaluyong City. For reservations, call 532-0482 or 534-4633.
Alba Restaurante Espanol
A display of Alba's specialty dishes hangs outside the restaurant in Tomas Morato, Quezon City
A perfect spot for lovers who are craving for authentic Spanish fare, Alba is home to traditional Spanish cooking since 1952. And it has never failed to please.
Customers can enjoy 18 kinds of paella as well as an extensive list of tapas (appetizers), breads, soups, salads, pasta, seafood dishes, meat dishes, and desserts, all reasonably priced from P200 to P900.
But if you’re the type who wants a bit of everything, you can opt for Alba’s all-you-can-eat buffet instead. For Valentine’s day, lunch costs P650++ per head while dinner costs P800++.
The buffet spread is large enough to cover Alba’s specialties such as Callos a la Madrilena (stewed ox tripe in rich tomato sauce), Cochinillo Asado (oven roasted suckling pig), and Canonigo (a delectably soft meringue cake).
But of course, dining at Alba won't be complete without professional musicians serenading you and your lover with Spanish tunes at the table. The restaurant even goes the extra mile as it gives handmade chocolates to couples to top off this special day.
Alba Restaurante Espanol is located at Tomas Morato corner Lozano Street, Quezon City. It also has branches in Bel-Air and Alabang. For reservations, call 925-1912 or 411-7052.
