Ganun ba Talaga Kahirap?

For months now, I've been looking for a bottle cleaning detergent for my kids' feeding bottles. I have actually several options.

Pigeon - This is the first brand I've tried. However, I find the Pigeon brand too expensive, P450 per liter. When we only had Johann, it was quite easy to dish out money for this since this could last for months. Considering that we sterilize our milk bottles twice, daily. It'll be another unnecessary, not to mention expensive, expense.

Mess Out - This is a local brand I heard from the other new moms. One bottle used to cost less than P90. The quality is quite okay. It lasts longer than Pigeon because it more sudsy. However, the distribution of this product is quite poor. I used to find this in Rustan's Supermarket and Landmark. Whenever I see this, I'd hoard bottles. But, this has been missing in the shelves for weeks. I hope this gets replenished soon. I have yet to see if Babyland has stocks.

From the makers of Cycles, they came out with their own version. The name of the product just slipped my mind. I bought one just to give it a try. It was reasonably priced also. It seems that it is not as sudsy as Mess Out. It didn't last long. When I came back to get more, it was no longer in the shelves.

Just last week, I had to purchase the more expensive Pigeon detergent. It was only out of desperation, since all three can not be found. What happened to Manila? Was there an unexpected baby boom?

So now, I am looking for alternatives. I found a very delicate Ivory dish washing liquid. If I still don't find anything suitable for baby bottles, I just might get Ivory.

Am I just being too "maselan?"

Luxury Bags in Japan

Since almost everyone I know visited Japan this summer, I would like re-live my visit this year through this post.  This time, I will focus on luxury bags. We've heard about the usual reseller shops that house these luxury brands.  The one I can remember now is Daikokuya. I must've visited almost all reseller shops I've seen on the road.  I've noticed that these shops carry the top 3 popular ones:  Hermes, Chanel and Louis Vuitton.  There still are several pieces of Balenciaga, Valentino, Tory Burch, Celine, Gucci and Michael Kors but not as abundant as the top 3.  I guess what carries the most value are the three popular ones. If you are looking for cheap designer bags, I suggest checking out Don Quixote.  You will usually find on the topmost floors on Donki.  I think this is the one in Shinjuku. I am not so sure. You find them arranged like this or inside locked glass cabinets.  I'm sure the artisans who made these bags will tu...

Great Finds for the New Year

I'm always excited to try out new products.  I've tried these new products and found them to be very satisfactory.  I hope you get to try these out too. 1. Soap and Glory's Clarity - I was about to become Rudolf, the reindeer, before I found this.  It stopped my zit from becoming a full-blown center-of-attraction.  It has a very refreshing smell that is very much needed after a sweating it out the whole day.  Available at Sephora stores. 2.  Mocha Rose by Rosebud Perfume Co -  If you like the Rosebud Salve balms that come in small tin pods, you will love this product.  It comes in an easy-open tube for convenience and effortless application.  The application tip has a velvety texture unlike most balms in a tube.  More importantly, the balm is so effective, it took out the dryness on my lips in a couple of applications.  Also available at Sephora stores.  ...

Gratitude Calendar 11/5

  I have always been afraid of the dark.  But growing up and becoming a parent, I have learned to overcome that (along with other fears), so that my children will not grow up fearing trivial things.
